NOW IS THE TIME.....for a Mike Dirnt solo record. some rando place called "Pure Music Moments" currently has a link to an article that's clearly bogus. it says Green Day announced a Summer Carnival Tour - One Last Ride that will be their farewell tour. lol

It’s the same point whether it’s you who judge musicians that way or him if he did that The Coverups would have no one to cover. He’s not going to select songs that way when it was a thing across the board back then it’s silly. This has nothing to do with Joey.

This is what I wanted to say but couldn’t really express it in English. Thank you!

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here, we all have different laws with different age limits. Sixteen is the age of consent here so I have never got involved in these discussions. It’s largely the culture you are used to. Anyway, Jakob says they shared it YT tube says Billie is lead, a press review (now lost in among many, can’t remember which) says Billie is lead….either way, it sounds great. They certainly compliment each other, that genetic connections wins every time.

In Germany it’s legally allowed to have sex with someone of the age 14 and older if it’s consensual. I don’t want to say that I would approve of that but the Joey „affair“ wouldn’t be a thing here.

Listened a couple more times and I feel fairly confident about who is singing what now. Voices are so similar, but Jacob’s pronunciations are a little different. First refrain and chorus - Billie Verse 1 and second chorus - Jacob Verse 2, refrain, third chorus - Billie Verse 3, fourth chorus - Jacob Bridge - both? Last chorus and outro - Billie

It doesn't matter if a 16 year old is mature, they're still legally a child and a 22 year old shouldn't be involved with someone that young

Where have I said boycott? Just said it’s a weird optic to chose someone who slept with a underage groupie when his oldest had a similar situation happen hell I didn’t even call Bowie a pedo

So I guess you boycott every classic rock artist and group from the 70’s then because literally every band from The Rolling Stones to The Who to Led Zeppelin and anyone else you could name considered teenage groupies to be a rock star perk.

Their set from yesterday has been uploaded in two parts to youtube.

Bowie sleeping with the 14 year old groupie has long been proven or are we doing the we only believe the victim if she mentions someone we don’t like was the one? and comparing a 22 year old being with a 16 year old and a 26 year old with a 14 year old is the same thing

I had an ex who when he was 22 and started dating someone who was 16. Everyone around me, including myself, thought it was weird and kind of disgusting. If they'd been ten years older I wouldn't think that much of it though. I thought about this earlier. 😂 Nice to see something more up to date, lol.

it's not meant to be, its because their set had to end early and he counted down to announce there was one minute left.

Just noticed Jillie Bow Legweak changed his spotify profile pic.

Yeah, but how is that like his freak out? I know he doesn't remember it so maybe he's doing it freaking wrong. lol

They sound soooo similar, I was doing my dishes when I listened to it for the first time, and didn’t even realize Jakob was singing too, I thought he just did the guitar. I figured Billie really brought out that deep voice from his youth. Only on he second listen I realized there were 2 voices on the track lol I don’t think 16y years olds are mature, but neither are 22 years olds. Now, at 28, looking back, I see more similarities between my 22yo self and my 16yo self than between my 28yo self now and my 22yo self.

Looked at the credits and it's all the brothers from Mt Eddy, right?

I was trying to figure out which parts were which singer, and I’m not entirely sure. I think they sound so similar! Have you listened to Jakob’s (as The Death Chat) song Lost at Sea? He sounds SO MUCH like Billie in that one!

I'm sorry...50 seasons of Survivor?! WTF?!

I like Bowie.

So Heroes was recorded to commemorate the upcoming 50th season of Survivor. Why am I not surprised. With the band due to open a major sporting event, not for the first time, the band seem to be the first choice to nominate an existing song or even write one for some sort of major event. The last one being the song Underdog for soundtrack for a new animal series for National Geographic. There have been 17 other songs used for various soundtracks going back to 1995, some existing, others songs written specifically for soundtrack. And this year's no different. Nice one GD. Just shows how really special you continue to be even in the mainstream environment.

I think the higher range in the latter part is Billie too.

I’m not certain who sings what. Fairly certain Billie is first verse but after that I’m at a loss. Enjoying the cover tho!

So apparently, this is connected to the tv show Survivor. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/film-tv-music-news/billie-joe-armstrong-records-cover-of-heroes-for-survivor-1236482742/

Happy birthday @jengd! Enjoy some cake.
