From Joey’s stories

Happy birthday to our favorite dork. May he go on another 48 years strong and young!

In honor of his birthday, I'm bringing back my favorite pic of him from his last birthday! 🥰

When I saw that first pic, the first thought that popped into my head was "omg, is Billie actually washing his hands for once?!" 😂😂😂

Happy birthday Billie! You are lovely in every way possible 🖤

Same belt buckle that he's been wearing lately?

How in the world did I miss this last year? God damn you Billie you sexy motherfucker. Mr. oh me? I'm not hot or anything tee-hee gtfo with that! You know you are!

I just picked this up, love this little treat ❤️ The Horny draft is priceless too ❤️ And they properly spelled Whisky in the end

Probably found it digging in his closet for that Slugger shirt 😂😂

YOU know you’ve made it when Rolling Stones wishes you happy birthday. I don’t even get a call from my relatives, luckily 😁

Don't poke him in the face, do it like Nick from Philly

The many faces of our dear dear front man: I’m thinking the bottom right may become my new profile pic...

I think this pic was like a gift to us 🖤 Glad he didn't delete or archive it lol The comments are disabled though could be because of too many sex related comments lmao

I agree. The negative reviews seem to be missing the point that GD was going for a party them on this record. Everything is sort of goofy and loose. A lot of the negative reviews are missing this deliberate choice and calling it "cringe."

When I first saw the tracklisting for FOAM I thought "Teenage Teenager" was a really dumb title and while it's not the best, Billie explaining how it's inspired from old movies like I was a Teenage Werewolf puts it into better context.

And these from Joey:

Heinekenvirus is what you get in the morning after a night out?

Think this is a new photo of the guys:

I want a whole album of songs like Sugar Youth.

I think this photo that was originally in color in the Q interview got overlooked and now it's popped up on Tumblr and I guess it's an opportunity to share it

It's a great track - I really like it

disease is punishment for 0,01€ (for real) in mint condition off amazon. 🙃

Yeah, I figured that out. Can't help but think it would have been better if Billie was a Teenage Alien instead. As it is, he was a Teenage Medium.

Love this pic !

Don't think I've seen this photo before

"You can take a walk you can suck my C#### Username name change - Little "Willie" Jackson

When you buy the DVD of Ordinary World only to realize you sold your DVD player in the garage sale last year.

Courtney's post reads like a facebook mom wrote it

Am I the only one who thinks this is a load of bullshit? "We want to prevent scalping so we're inflating the prices ourselves". Well thanks, I don't really see what it changes for me.

Ugh, I need these two right now.

Omg I just saw that, very sweet! Billie drew boobs on the Adie stick figure

This is so cute!

I definitely get you, I even hear similarities in the music to be honest, but yeah the vibes are definitely similar here.

Wow I'm a big Friends fan and I didn't know that!

I want a whole album of songs like Bang Bang.

They were all together in Mike and Tre's birthday, I would be happy if it'll be also same like that for Billie but I think it seems kinda unlikely for now

Piece here from Ultimate Guitar about Billie taking people onstage: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/green_day_frontman_explains_why_he_takes_people_from_audience_onstage_to_play_guitar__how_eddie_van_halen_influenced_it.html Green Day Frontman Explains Why He Takes People From Audience Onstage to Play Guitar & How Eddie Van Halen Influenced It "You never know what you're gonna get," Billie Joe Armstrong says. During an appearance on WMMR, Green Day singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong talked about the band's routine of bringing up people from the audience onstage during its live shows to jam some guitar and sing. Green Day has a new studio album out titled "Father of All Motherfuckers," released on February 7 as the follow-up to 2016's "Revolution Radio." When the interviewer said, "I'm wondering about the process of that. You do it almost every show; can you judge who can play your guitar or sing a song as opposed to those who are going to completely fail?", Billie replied (transcribed by UG): "You never know what you're gonna get. Either way, if someone can't play - sometimes you get someone that is just a complete shredder, and the crowd goes absolutely wild, and then you get someone that can barely put their hands on the damn thing, and still people kind of go nuts over it because it's in the spirit of connecting with everybody/ "I remember being a kid and seeing Van Halen play. I was, like, 12, and Eddie would come out, and I'd go, 'God, it would be so cool to be up there and do what he's doing.' "So I was always keeping that in mind, subconsciously that's basically what ended up happening, breaking down the barrier between the band and the audience." You were playing 'Jesus of Suburbia' and you brought this kid up on stage, that's not an easy song to play... "It gave me the chills, that was so cool. It's like what more do you want out of life than that? Hearing that kid, just, pure joy. "You know man, that's why I got into this shit, you know? Music gets you high, and you could just tell that that kid was stoned out of his brain because of rock 'n' roll music. It's great." So this 10-song album, 'Father of All Motherfuckers,' is available on CD and vinyl. The record was originally 16 songs, but you cut it down to 10. I think at 10, it's the shortest thing in Green Day history. I'm wondering, why you cut the six songs? "I think we were trying to come up with, like, sequencing a record is one of the hardest parts about making a record, so I had 16 songs, and I was putting them in sequence, and I was having a difficult time. "So then I was, like, 'I need to just pick my top 10 favorites that I know that I know are gonna go on.' And I was, like, 'That's the record right there, those are the 10 songs.' "And it's sort of a departure of what we've been doing in the past because we've done rock operas, we've done concept records, we did three albums with 36 songs on them and stuff like that, so it's the shortest album I think we've made since [1995's] 'Insomniac.'" You said it's, like, 'All the songs were talking to each other and it felt right'? "Yeah, we wanted to go through, like, the history of rock 'n' roll, so we loved anything from Motown to Little Richard, Chuck Berry, to all the glam rock with Mott the Hoople, and T-Rex, Joan Jett, so yeah, we just kind of wanted to really let our influences just shine a little bit more." You borrowed an actual vocal from 'Do You Want to Touch' me from Joan Jett, and on that song 'Oh, Yeah.' You actually take a piece of her and the Black Hearts and insert it. "Oh, yeah. I always thought someone should sample that song just because the beat is so good, and I never thought I'd ever get into sampling for some reason, I just thought it was probably outside of my ability. "And then I just did it and I wrote the song around it. We're such huge fans of Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, so it's just the fun thing to do, it's like peanut butter and jelly."

if they dont cancel some shows in asia because of the virus

Always been a great place for music. I was in a punk band in 07-09 and my fans from UK and Australia were the greatest.

When you watch Ordinary World because if it wasn't for Billie you wouldn't even bother with the movie

I actually like the idea of billie doing diy album art a lot

Cuuuuuute!
