The cool thing is that they are the youngest band ever to be inducted into the HoF. Since their first release came out when they were 18 and they got inducted during their first year of eligibility, it's hard for any other band to beat that record. It's rare for a band to be inducted when they are still active in the prime of their career. Usually, they've split up, members have left or died or have just become a nostalgia act. Not these guys.

I'm afraid he will die on stage crushed by tons of stickers

I really like Sassafras Roots. I certainly enjoy wasting my time listening to you, Mr. Armstrong

Maybe someone is doing the twitter for him.

Indeed . And on the Pop Disaster tour he put two fish he knew would fight in a bowl and watched them injure/kill each other for fun. Hurting animals for fun is a pretty huge turn off, can only hope he's matured/changed his attitude since then. Yes, equal to any top tier GD album for me.

I think Jeff wants to take revenge for being harassed by Billie puppet

I don't even know or care what the discussion is about but is bitching about and "investigating" a random fan still going on here? If so can it stop please, GDC isn't the place for it and this thread is supposed to be for discussing GD's tweets.

Honestly I think that one is made up , like as a really over the top joke boast (ie winning a fight against a great white shark or whatever) that never really happened. Edit: I mean I'm not sure how that situation would really occur so hopefully that's the case.

Well, obviously that statement was right because they've resorted to giving them away with every order.

That and Paper Lanterns are incredible. Absolutely, I think it's one of the best punk songs anyone's written for decades.

I've said this thousands of times before, but I just have to say it again: Bang Bang is one of GD's best songs. I fucking love it so fucking much and it just seems to get better the more I listen to it. It's perfect - the intro, the riff, the vocals, Tre's little drum solo thing - I love all of it. It just blows me away every time I hear it. It's a standout song on RevRad, imo. The fact that they brought out this little gem so far into their career just proves that they've still got some life left in them, and I love them even more for it.

Yeah like most of them do sound like him but some are very generic and sound like they could be a random person doing it (same applies to the Mike one above). Maybe their team is chucking some extra ones in to make sure each show is covered or whatever? Or maybe someone is prodding them to tweet a certain amount/about certain stuff so it comes out generic. Like you say can't really tell for sure though, I hope not because as long as the main GD one is keeping that stuff covered it isn't necessary and just spoils it really

A potential use for Billie's flamingo raft? They could send it to Houston.... https://www.today.com/parents/midwife-rides-inflatable-swan-through-flood-deliver-baby-t88271

I actually like The Network more than FBHT.

LoL, I guess they have ordered too many hand towell and they don't know what to do with them anymore since no one want to buy them.

Jeff has become friends with many fans over twitter over the years it seems. I don't think it's the first time he's met up with them. And joe Kingston was outed as not being billie (but whoever it was, definitely tried to make it seem that way when they had the attention of the fans, in desperate and very obvious ways) a long time ago.

Fucking hell. I wanna hug him. His hair looks so soft and fluffy.

His evil plan worked! He's got us talking about Mike's teeth! *shakes fist* Armstrooooooooong!!!!!

Shut up Jeff!

Nothing is on par with fn live. It is in a class by itself

No, KFAD is "stop babbling and sing you goblin"

Youngblood is so silly. I remember listening to it for the first time, thinking it was hilariously bad and laughing so hard. It's the only song I listened to again on its own before putting the album on repeat. It's fun live, but each time I was like "omg Billie, is this necessary????" but crowds seem to love it and jump like crazy so yeah it was fun in the end even though there are better songs that I'd prefer. It would work in a cartoon. Someone should mix it into some footage from Tom and Jerry.

I feel the same about AI even though it's usually the fast songs that become my faves.

Yes great live, although I wouldn't put it in FN's league and I haven't seen most of the others live for comparison Fast/simpler songs like that always end up lower down on the list for me, just the way it goes. American Idiot goes the same way.

Live though - its on a par with FN. Tre's drum solo live & on the album gets me everytime.

"the twitter" That you Billie?

That middle one is so beautiful

K but Do any of you even know Spade? I met her online when she was 13. I've hung out with her several times. She isn't what any of you think she is, and worrying about the poetry of an angsty 13 year old girl who was just trying to find her place is just heartless. She isn't JosephKingston and she never was. She's come so far from the time I first met her to now, and obviously earned the respect of Jeff. So obviously there's something more to her that you don't see or don't know. I will most definitely not be returning to this forum. I'm just here to defend a friend who has been nothing but kindhearted to those of us who actually took the time to know her. I watched my friend Spade do something so kind to another friend in Hartford. Making fun of her for her angsty teenage years and for growing up to be kinda dorky and goofy honestly sickens me

Well you should listen to them and read the lyrics. Gonna Find You, Artificial Life, Room Without A Window, Freeze Up are all great lesser known songs by them with some of the realest lyrics I've ever come across.

I was surprised that nobody made more of this at the time, for exactly the reasons pacejunkie made. It's so unusual for a band to start so young and still be together and successful and I think it's one of the reasons they seem so nostalgic on this tour, repeatedly saying how grateful they are. I think the focus at the time was on them getting in at first year of eligibility which is also so cool! Long may it continue

This whole debate that's been going on for years has always been very amusing to me, because the truth of the matter is that anyone who isn't in our friend circle doesn't know who we are or anything we do. It's all speculation. The whole idea of anyone mentioned here being involved with Green Day is ridiculous. Even Spade isn't involved with Green Day, she just knows Jeff from mutual acquaintances. I don't think silly rumors like this should have any place in the Green Day fandom. The fact that it's even talked about makes us look crazy and dumb. It gives people a reason to cringe at us.

Always..I love tre's mis-match-sock..and BIllie's Hawaii-Shirt?..from trcool rock and roll H/F..

I love my band 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Yeah, we still see your chompers Billie!

I was confused by it too - my first thought that they were some kind of joke teeth for the occasion because the two front ones look quite protruding, but they do look pretty similar here, in May: The "I might have had a couple of teeth straightened out" comment strongly suggests to me they were just making fun of crazy fans LMAO now I'm looping it just to hear Billie's laugh again

Don't know how much of an unpopular opinion this is, but imo, Stop, Drop & Roll (the song, not the album) is better than most of the stuff that they've released as Green Day.

Tre's done things that mean he'll never be my fave (or second fave) but he can be amusing and sweet and as part of the band he's amazing. Billie's my favourite mostly for his incredible talent as a songwriter and performer, and Mike is my second favourite mostly for being an awesome human being. The three of them together is the thing though, their friendship is lovely to see and as a band they're greater than the sum of their parts.

What do you expect - we need to analyze this thoroughly

He may not have written I Was There but I would have believed it if he had. So many of his lyrics were pretty mature and introspective for his age. They were mostly about girls, crushes and rejection as you'd expect but also songs like 16, Android and One of My Lies where he really obsesses over age and mortality like most teenagers don't. You can really see the affects of having lost a parent here on someone who's such a thinker. It's funny, because when he talked later about WMUWSE and how he had never written about his father before, I thought to myself, listen to some of those early songs that are full of themes of death and dying and I disagree. Maybe he didn't realize that it wasn't typical teen subject matter.

Call me pathetic call me what you will but all the hilarious stuff they've posted this morning on top of all the beautiful pictures from the past few days and watching the one clip I made of OW in Gothenburg (best night of my life) over and over recently, have me wheezing with laughter and literally crying all at once. I love them so much I didn't know it was possible <3<3<3

So I was just watching some old Green Day vids on YouTube and it's so crazy to me, even though they have come a long way since I first heard them in the 90's I still see all the same love and passion in their performances. I just think it's pretty amazing to be a band for so long, and still be just as passionate about your band and music after all this time.

I think most people like it. People just wish it would occasionally get changed up a bit
