This is good news. Is he back on instagram yet?

Here's some interesting articles from music press: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bille-joe-armstrong-jakob-david-bowie-heroes-cover-1235504061/ https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-and-son-jakobs-faithful-new-cover-of-david-bowies-heroes-3925141

Literally no one is sticking up for Joey. Bringing up the scandal in a thread about a cover he did with his OTHER son is extremely distasteful. Calling Bowie creep who sleeps with minors, based on mysoginistic rumors about Lori Maddox, despite other instances and behaviors proving otherwise is extremly distasteful. Comparing a grown man sleeping with teenage groupies, to a 22yo kid being in a relationship with a 17yo younger kid is extremely distasteful. Those are the only things I’m saying. Never did I stick up for Joey, I believe his victim and I believe he was abusive, based on her stories. But that is not due to his age, but his behavior towards her. I will no elaborate on it any further, just wanted to clear it up that I’m no supporting an abuser. Thanks. We feel like it has nothing to do with the subject at hand

I think my mom misses me because she's using any Green Day news/update to strike up a conversation with me. Sent me a screenshot of BOBD on the radio and then seemed oddly excited about the Super Bowl announcement?

What does any of this have to do with Billie and Jakob being commissioned to record a David Bowie cover? Let’s remember the thread topic

So how do we feel about Billie Joe writing C.U.N.T. about his son’s accuser then?

Thank you for the information, I didn’t know that. That changes things of course. I thought it was only a matter of their age.

I'd be careful about bringing up the whole Joey story.. I once dared to give an objective opinion about the whole situation and situations like that in general, and then got accused by a certain moderator for ''writing an essay defending statutory rape'' and got warning.. I was insulted to my very own core, especially considering my whole life believes and stances are a full hard 180 from that. Fuck those assholes. Fuck hypocrisy and twisting words. Viva Green Day!

It'll be like blink 182 playing family reunion

Who knows. It might be good.

It was illegal, the age of consent in California is 18. But it was never just about the age, it's that he was emotionally abusive towards her and pressured her into sexual activity. She wrote a detailed account about it, and he never denied anything she wrote or gave a different account. There's also the fact that literally his band's ENTIRE image and message was about being feminist and respecting women and their entire fanbase was young feminist girls. And their response after this happened was to just hide away and not talk about it. He and his band really were rightfully judged for it and deserved for it to end the band. You should look up her full statement about it. But anyway, this sounds aweseome! Gonna listen later

For me it has been "Burnout" these past days. 😭

yippee thanks!! XD my mission now is to get some kids in my school into GD >:D not an easy task TvT

fashion victim Xb i was listenin to my warning CD last night and its still stuck in my head TvT and also fear of the dark XD tho thats by iron maiden lmao

Depending on time and what lies ahead for my day, I stop everything and listen to a song or album at random. It stays in my head for the day and sets me up, to keep me sane or insane, lol. No matter what shit comes my way, I see it through the eyes of Green Day and I stay crazy. Today, and for a while recently, I keep coming back to Basket Case, the 4-track demo from Dookie Anniversary box set. With those alternative lyrics, and Billie Joe's phenomenal guitar playing, holy shit I love this version, Billie Joe you never cease to amaze me. I can't stop playing it and it won't leave my head. Not that I'm complaining. 😄

i've been listening to waiting way too much... but also i keep thinking of father of all...? i've never listened to that song in full by the way.

I hadn’t noticed that originally, but I saw that Jakob credited the Malaspina brothers in his Instagram.

What green day song is stuck in your head today? ive listened to Macys day parade 5 times and its still in there 😭

Gross.

I kinda hope they revise 21st century and change homeland security could kill us all to ice could kill us all What year was it? Cause he stopped being Democrat in 2009 from 09-11 he was Republican 2011-2012 he was independent then back republican

They won't. GD's opening, Bad Bunny's performing at halftime. The only way they perform together is if GD does a "guest spot" in Bad Bunny's halftime set.

That's what I've been thinking. I'm so confused

Well done dedicated and faithful GD disciple warrior. Our continuing mission is to convert this lost world to the wonders of Green Day. 🤪

anddd now my friend just sent me a message of a photo of a bunch of GD songs on spotify she was listenin to, and she said that blvrd of broken dreams is THE BEST SONG she's ever heard :0 and this is someone who used to not like GD Xb i have succeeded in my mission XD

I bought one of these the day it came out. I have a friend who works at Gibson and he was able to hold one of the Natural versions back for me as they sold out the second they were announced. Was it £1200? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth it? 100%. It took a fair bit of work to get set up but now it's done it's truly glorious. Like all high end Epiphones, the materials and feel are excellent but they don't come with any kind of setup. I'm really surprised by just how much it sounds like the original though, I'm really blown away. It's the tone I've been chasing for 20 years. I've got a few Green Day tribute sets lined up in the next couple of months and I can't wait to give it a run out on stage.
