Just found this little gem where they sing about Billie: Das Lumpenpack - WZF?! (English Translation) Lyrics [Verse 1: Max & Jonas] Sorry for disturbing, you slept very long And you said yourself: "Wake me up when September ends" There is an impression on your cheek, your eyes are tired While you are tired and smiling, you ask "What happened in twenty-twenty? Billie, sit down at first, here's a very strong coffee You must have been there to understand everything The question is not, what happened, just: "Where do I start? And then we brought him up to datе [Chorus: Jonas, Jonas & Max] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What thе fuck? [Verse 2: Max & Jonas] It already began on New Year's Eve, when the monkeys burned Trump almost started the Iran war with a drone The sky above Sidney was red, Australia was on fire While not far away someone won the jungle camp In February, we all noticed the system has cracks In Erfurt fell a bouquet of flowers, in Hanau fell shots Oh, the mask, yes, we've got it with us But more about the pandemic in verse three See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists You might also like Bad Bunny - DtMF (English Translation) Genius English Translations Creep Radiohead What’s Up? 4 Non Blondes [Chorus: Jonas, Jonas & Max] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? [Verse 3: Jonas & Max] The virus came in March, everything has ended We bought very much, we washed our hands This worked so good, really, no lie Every German suddenly had a favourite virologist Europe closes the borders, suddenly for us too Help for the Lufthansa, pity for the art And now take a deep breath, when you thought, it was all Trigger warning, Kobe, when you like basketball Fuck, there is racism, we noticed in May We post black tiles, thought, now it's over Demonstrating two times, shit, it unfortunately doesn't work There is still racism, but now we hate the TAZ [Chorus: Jonas] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? [Bridge: Jonas & Max] He is sitting upright in his bed, totally perplex "I wish you never waked me up" Billie, if you think now, it'll disappear, if you sleep The word will still be the same (When September ends) He is sitting upright in his bed, totally perplex (When September ends) "I wish you never waked me up" (When September ends) Billie, if you think now, it'll disappear, if you sleep (When September ends) The word will still be the same when September ends [Outro: Jonas & Max] When September ends When September ends When September ends When September ends

How much of Green Day's catalogue do you know the words to? I don't know some parts of 39 and Kerplunk and there's maybe a word or two off Insomniac that I get wrong, but all their other albums and songs I could recite verbatim. Let's see what you guys got.

Speaking of chaotic I enjoyed Billie's teeth and Mike's moustache here

They should get media un-training and just start being wildly chaotic every interview.

Agreed, and the whole k pop thing was deliberately awkward too. I think they just don’t buy in to all the nonsense at award shows etc.

I think that's the best thing because unless you happened to have seen the film and remember it really well you'd have no clue so like 99% of the audience there probably had no idea . They thrive on awkwardness lol I wish I could find the clip (I think it was only on Instagram) but one of my favourite recent awkward humour moments was in one of the red carpet interviews last year when the interviewer asked Billie if he had any advice for someone looking for love and he immediately started singing his song from when he was 5 years old "Look For Love" and then told people to google the song lmao

Oh!!! Thanks for clarifying! I did not get the reference at all. That's hilarious though

It's from the film Boogie Nights when Mark Wahlberg's character accepts an award for being a pornstar

I think they have likely had some media training, no record label would have let them get this far without it. Whether they pay a lot of attention to it, that’s different. I think they are just themselves and relish the weird interviews. Imagine how odd it would be if they suddenly became super slick spewing sound bites….yeuch!

Is there a source for them not having media training? I’m seeing it here in this thread a few times and to me, especially since the AI tour, a lot of their interviews have come off very media trained in terms of messaging. They’re always their usual goofy selves, and having media training doesn’t necessarily mean “fake”, but if they’re at an event to promote something they’re gonna do it AFAIK. I’d be shocked if this ended up being true, especially after the interviews the Saviors tour has brought in

but then how else would they juice the sales numbers for Saviors???

I like some songs but could have been a standalone ep release

I‘m quite sure this was the case, he seemed to have problems deciphering it…😂 And I think Billie maybe lost a bet against them and had to do this. His „Okay okay, I‘ll do it“ at the beginning. 😆

I've never had an issue with their interviews, but I do understand where the comment is coming from. I hope they never get any media training though, keeps it more genuine, even if a lot of the time they are just joking around to get out of giving a serious answer to a question. This was gold! I choose to believe Mike and/or Tre wrote that and Billie was reading it for the first time I especially love the "you know"

I think awkward humour is just their thing and always has been lol If it's specifically about that recent interview I think the most awkward thing was the interviewer constantly complimenting them and saying how amazing they are, along with the film promotion stuff it just wasn't the most natural conversation. But in general they've always used awkward humour. They don't need to be fake and press trained

In my opinion it’s allowed to be silly at any age. And why should they care. Not doing the expected / appropriate things is punk… I loved this so much:

At some point in the early 00s I got a bootlegged set, probably from the P2P file sharing platforms everyone used back then. The show was small if I recall - probably from the early 90s pre-Dookie. During a lull in the show when they're doing a bit of audience chat, the quiet murmuring is interrupted by a man in the crowd very loudly shouting "YOU CARPET BASTARD," to which Mike replies - and I'm paraphrasing here - "Me? I've got nothing to do with carpets. I play music" My friend at the time and I used to regularly call each other carpet bastards as a result and every now and then it'll pop into my head. Carpet bastard. That bootleg was lost and I've never heard it since. I wonder what carpet bastard guy is doing nowadays? I'm probably the only person on the planet who regularly thinks about that particular moment in time, and I wonder whether he's aware his insult that day lives rent free in my head?

Agree - I think it's more to do with them just becoming middle-aged and not being able to use goofing around as much as a crutch in interviews. They're older dudes who can't get away with that stuff anymore.

i like to think that billie used to follow the hanky code. like he is openly admitting to being a bottom its a little funny to think of. but it's a dotted bandana... and he stopped using putting it in his pocket a while ago anyways, i doubt it actually is for that purpose

I know exactly the clip @Cris. is talking about, it lives in my mind too, I love it! Thanks both for clarifying.

Maybe this is unpopular, but I like 21st Century Breakdown more than American Idiot.
