Billie is like a cat. He is both a liquid and a solid at the same time.

Bless this tour and its untucked shirts.

This is still one of my favorites because it looks like he's melting.

Agreed, he sounds like a punk purist with a personal code. Not only do they employ hundreds of people who depend on them and do need a livelihood but one look at this crowd and the bands’ faces and he’d realize it’s not about needing the money, it’s about needing music, live performance and togetherness again. That we desperately need, including these rich rock stars (who’ve gotten depressed like everyone else over the past two years)

**Not directed at you, That Dude. Good lord, Roecker.... They have employees. Bill, Greg, Chris, all of their techs... yeah, maybe the 3 of them don't "need" more $$ but it's also a business which employs others who rely on touring for their means. He seems rather bitter towards them.

John Roecker seems angry with Green Day and the Hella Mega Tour in general. He asked if the concerts were requiring proof of vax or masks. He then asks "how much do these guys need?" The music industry is a dark place. it's not necessarily Billie Joe Armstrong's fault if the band is doing something. Nearly 100 percent of decisions are on the record label. But yeah. Hopefully it's not personal, just him venting.

It doesn't work that way though because you could still pass it on to other people. Do we know what the best answer to that is for sure? No. But it isn't over.

I hope there’s new footage / a new video soon. Although this tour seems so chaotic. Would behind the scenes be a good thing or would it be really well edited and contrived? I still want to see if there’s anything fun or good. Ugh the suing of bootleggers and the suffering of Green Day sales etc doesn’t seem like a fun time. And FOB being off the tour. And all the other stuff. I hope things are going well outside of the headlines. I love the band and I hope there’s another great Oakland Coffeehouse Behind the Scenes Green Tour Video coming soon.

It's not just people who don't want to be vaccinated, it's people who haven't been able to get both shots yet and some who can't or have conditions that mean it's still dangerous even with the vaccine. Again I'm not saying we shouldn't be lifting some restrictions/starting to return to normal, I'm glad we're doing that. But there's a difference between that and pretending it's OVER when we're not there yet and it's still useful to be cautious and wear a mask/social distance when possible/sanitise your hands a lot etc. And even if it's very close to over where you live it doesn't mean it's as close everywhere in the world. So it's simply incorrect to declare "it's over" on a forum with international users.

4 chinny chin chins in that last pic. Is that a record? What a face 😂

Awww... that means I took these 4 years ago today.

Bottom pic - oh yes you can!

Suing bootleggers is about as unpunk as it gets. These guys , well at least BJA have to be worth $100 million dollars. Who cares if some guy makes a few hundred bucks outside the show? Tickets aren't cheap and some people want a souvenir without spending $50 for a t-shirt that costs $5 to $10 at most in bulk. I'm sure before they were rich the band may have bought bootlegs themselves. How would a guy selling bootleg shirts afford Green Day's expensive ass lawyer fees? Even if they win, good luck collecting.

“I did my part” is an incredibly selfish way to think. You can still spread Covid. You can pass it to (all be it idiotic) people who may get seriously ill. further spread could lead to further mutations, which the vaccine may not work against we all want fully normal, but we aren’t there yet, not even close.

Four years 🩲

I think haircuts have always been doing wonders for him. Love this pic: Studded belt and a tiny hint of his hips

Why do you keep saying that? Nobody's saying to hide in the basement. It's just a good thing to be aware of the new variants and any major updates regarding covid

And me! lol

And me! Certainly by whatever next tour is!

From Tre It's already me!

Yep. While I understand his stance, and agree in a way.... Artists on labels have almost no control. We like to think Billie, Mike and Tre are designing the albums, making the track and set lists. making all these big decisions. Even writing about what is in their heart. But that isn't the case. Billie can't wake up one day, after September ends....and say that he'd like to make a folk-rap metal mix tape with 9000 tracks on it. Green Day is a company owned by the label. It's a business that was started by three guys but is now a corporation. Sounds cynical? That's just what popular music is. I love the music that is made this way, so it's NOT necessarily a negative thing. The corporate guys are bringing the music to the masses. Now the covid situation. Yeah, it sucks. Maybe Hella Mega should have been a bust. I don't know...

I found this on twitter. Idk if this is what @desertrose is talking about

New phone, new ring holder.

That first one is so sassy 😍

I was at that show too!! August 5th, 2017. Oakland Coliseum. A day I will never forget ❤️ The bottom pic cracks me up 😄

I misphrase. I lost A LOT of interest about their music since FOAM. But this website is always fun to be in.

They removed Knowledge from their regular setlist and only played it very rarely between 2005 and 2017, only bringing it back to the regular set recently. It's just a fun tradition. Also why are people still pretending that Green Day making a setlist of popular songs and sticking to it is a new thing every time there's a new tour and it happens again? Go back to Dookie and check the setlists of any of their tours, it's always been that way. And with this being a 3 band tour with a shorter set in huge stadiums of course they're going to stick to that more than ever - they want everyone to know the songs and knock it out the park every night. That said, damn this tour sucks. Bad decision not to postpone it longer.......I hope things are looking better by the UK leg next summer. I'm sure there's some small print somewhere that says as long as one of the bands plays no refunds are owed or whatever but that really sucks, absolutely should be a refund option if one of the three headliners cancels.

well i guess this wont be the only "covid-incident" with the hella mega shows, but this was so predictable if you play full stadium shows in the middle of a pandemic lol

This one too.

Thought I'd put these in here

Couple more from last night. First Billie and Jason White Then Mike and Kevin
