Happy Birthday Billie Joe Armstrong - 16 reasons he's an icon Career highlights of the Green Day frontman http://www.gigwise.com/photos/88623/happy-birthday-billie-joe-armstrong---16-reasons-hes-an-icon

I totally overlooked your post. Here ya go! Short sleeves!

I didn't say that being drunk was making Billie right, I tried to imply that a bunch of Internet users need to let the whole concept of THEM being right go in cases of serious substance abuse. It's somewhat uncomfortable to dissect one person's personal struggle to the point of being right or not, knowing what was going through his mind and what wasn't. My cousin almost killed my aunt and he got to the point where he was sent to jail in December, for only six months and only for the attack where he randomly fired an illegally-owned gun, so I know what I'm talking about. I might be straight-edge myself, but I've had my own share of alcoholics. The "true character comes out" thing is applicable only for people who live pretending and who then, well, don't pretend. Otherwise, a Mr. Hyde kind of a persona comes out. In cases of downright psychotic people (my cousin is one of those), they get violent. And I have solid knowledge of psychology, far further than popular myths quoted here. halfempty, I'm really, really sorry that you're going through this with your dad.

I disagree. My father's a rotten alcoholic. He picks fights with my mother, yells, and whatnot. But when he's sober he is a different person, caring and understanding. Alcohol fucks him up bad. Alcohol does not display the person you really are.

This photo is the most cute I've ever seen of Bilie with a fan onstage :wub: (and if anyone has it in better quality..)

I might just start doing this.

Yeah he always says its coming out though. What he really means is, I really want it to come out and I hope Warner will release it! Could be prompted by a real indication that they might release it but there's no way to know if it's for sure it seems. Edit: And I mean Warner/Green Day/whoever owns it who's in the band's camp and isn't him.

Warner doesn't own it, Green Day does. I'm pretty sure they do anyway.

Pretty birthday boy.

On a tv series from here there's a girl who has a giant poster of Oh Love in her room, plus another poster of the boys as a cartoon and some other pictures. I decided to start watching it because of that

Don't disagree with them. They know EVERYTHING. Seriously, each case of an alcoholic is different. My personal experience is similar to yours and I know what you mean. The sure thing is that you can't make a "medical report" to people you don't know at all through the internet.

Throwing a tantrum because he didnt get his way is childish and immature...

He doesn't even look like Billie... 0_____0 Amen to that. :mellow: Well I guess that's one way to look at it.

I feel you.

Same, watching that show hurts me emotionally. You don't have to be so harsh. He wasn't being childish, he did need help though.

you're welcome

Credits to who made it

I find BJ smoking just *___________*

I think he'd actually find Billie would just be (adorably) awkward as hell

This is actually kind of old now but couldn't see it had been posted previously... On 22nd July 2013, BPI (The British Music Industry) updated their database to update 1,000s of certifications and there were a few Green Day awards updated: Singles - The following were all certified Silver (for sales of 200,000): Basket Case Good Riddance American Idiot Boulevard of Broken Dreams Wake Me Up When September Ends Albums: 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - certified Gold (100,000 copies) Kerplunk - certified Gold (100,000 copies) Shenanigans - certified silver (60,000 copies) International Superhits - certified 2 x Platinum (600,000 copies). This also gives Green Day their 3rd multi-Platinum album in the UK after Dookie (3x Platinum) and American Idiot (6x Platinum) DVD/Video: International Supervideos - certified Platinum (50,000 copies) Sorry if it's already been posted but couldn't find it and thought it was pretty interesting.

He should wear short sleeves more often.

This should go to "Random something thread" but since BJ here, oh well.

The girl in your profile picture threw me off. Sorry

I listened to Whatsername on mu way home today, it came on shuffle on my iPod. The "forgetting you but not the time" part always makes my ballsack tingle.

Saw this on tumblr today, and I found iCuatro! at a local bookstore. Both made me very happy.
