Wow! These performances are outstanding! They are all looking a sounding amazing. Billie's vocals are phenomenal and he's performing at the top of his game right now. Green Day is better than ever and I honestly wasn't expecting this tour to be so great. That mic drop reminds me of this :

Sounds like Mike’s OK but unfortunately his dog Hoss passed https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdV808souq/?utm_medium=copy_link

This. 😂 he. Is. Adorable. https://greengay.tumblr.com/post/659257376071958528/he-dropped-the-mic

There's so much Kevin on this tour and I love it. Oh Billie is nice too! 😁

Mike has posted. Sadly he has had to say goodbye to his dog Hoss today

Assuming it was just heat exhaustion he’s probably fine now. I doubt they’ll say anything

This man ❤️💥 🤣🤣

So many fangirl-worthy moments in this video Also a few good takes of the eyeliner Edit: I've also just found this pic which reminds me of 14-year-old me trying to take a selfie Gotta love the energy he exhibits when he's playing the guitar

Yes! I was saying how happy I am that they're featuring him in pictures so much. Now just bring him out from behind the speakers.

set list from one of the shows. Looks like they had Bang Bang in the set list. Too bad they did not sing it.

Haha. Here’s the whole thing complete with sexy grunts

Man, that's too bad about Mike. Heat exhaustion is not fun! Let alone having it during a setting like that. How the hell was Billie literally running around still?! He's a crazy boy! We're having another heat spike here in the Pacific Northwest too over the next few days. It's already too hot and we haven't even reached the peak yet. I'm thankful that it won't break 100 again like it did earlier in the summer, though.

Ah, makes me want to draw Billie again! Doing to a silhouette like that would be super simple and easy. Maybe I should do one too. But I also love doing the details, though that's more time intensive. Don't know if I ever posted it in this thread so I'll go ahead since it's resurfaced. I did this one a few months ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQE5iQqtLAl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Watching Billie perform (even if it's just on video) gives me the chills. He's just so good! 🥰

I still can’t believe this tour is happening. Tried it, someone got sick and who knows how many we don’t even know about. It’s not like a random audience member is making headlines or maybe they are. I don’t know. I can’t wait until this tour ends. I don’t get the point unless it’s all just money and contracts and just getting it over with. In the meantime it is nice to see the band performing and looking good. But it’s nerve wracking.

I like this moment of the 2nd BTS video- it may well be used as a meme on this site like Billie nodding during the Still Breathing BTS video

from the Rolling Stone article in June The moment Richard Coble has been anticipating will arrive in just over a month. At Dallas’ Globe Life Field on July 24th, the tour manager will gather together the members of Green Day from a warm-up room and walk them to the stage for the first show of their long-delayed Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. For his part, Coble feels the same about the Hella Mega tour — which is playing outdoor stadiums, as it was initially planned before the lockdown. As Coble says, “The science tells me that outdoors is safe.” According to Coble, the Hella Mega tour will have its own safety protocols: Everyone on the tour, from bands to roadies to bus drivers, will be required to have been vaccinated, creating what Coble calls “an invisible fence” around the touring party. He says they’ll also be testing crew members “when needed” and will have protocols for backstage guests, whether showing a vaccination card or being tested. A Covid compliance office will also be traveling with the tour, keeping organizers up to date on each state’s rules and regulations. Everybody on the tour will have to sign a “code of conduct” agreeing to adhere to those rules. Coble says he had to let go “a handful” of crew members who refused to get vaccinated. Coble isn’t worried about his own team as much as variables out of their control. That list includes local crews — the freelance workers who help the touring posse load in gear, run cables, set up stages, and other back-breaking work at each stop. The question of whether those part-time employees will be vaccinated hangs in the air, as well. “That is actually a big issue,” Coble says. “We’re all vaccinated. But we don’t know the locals. We’re concerned they won’t all be vaccinated and we won’t be able to have that mandated.” But for the moment, crew people are focused on the specific parts of their job they can and can’t do — and that includes every type of interaction with people in those venues. “One of the most difficult things I’ve discussed with Billie Joe Armstrong is that we don’t think he can stage-dive on this tour,” Coble says. “But we’ll see. It’s a fluid situation.” https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/features/road-crew-concerts-return-1184463/

If this tour keeps up this level of heat, I may have to speak to Santa about some of these Getty pics, thanks @Rumpelstiltskin2000, I never think to look at their actual website!

I like the vests that Mike has worn during the tour.

On the subject of funny faces, I keep seeing this meme:

The eyeliner in that 3rd to last one!

I'm getting quite concerned. There's mask directives going back up for certain counties around here and my county will probably follow suit soon. I wonder if it will have any impact on the concert. It's just a little over a month away and a lot can change in that time. I'll be doing everything in my power to stay as safe as possible when I go, but not everything will be under my control so it's still a worry. At least I'll be a little bit less vulnerable in a seat vs the pit.

That's what I heard. Apparently he likes to beat on the space bar? 🤔🤔😂

It’s fucking hot in the middle of the US right now. Last night at 11pm it still felt like 95 F in my area! (In Kansas) Today’s heat is expected to be over 100 F for me. I can’t even imagine having to be on stage in this. I hope the entire crew is drinking plenty of water. Chicago tomorrow is gonna be a bitch… edit: so Chicago isn’t until Sunday (it’s early here). Not sure why I’m thinking it’s tomorrow… it’s still gonna be stupid hot 🥵

😍 Thank you Greg! Why are they always telling him to shut up?!

Greg Schneider posted this on this IG story And Kevin posted this (there are some short vids in his post too)

Hella Mega posted these photos of the kid that got on stage to play with GD in Detroit They've had the t-shirt cannon out a couple of times that I've seen on the livestreams but I don't know about the water cannon

You would think he would just post a quick thing on IG

A sorta review from the Detroit stop: https://www.mlive.com/life/2021/08/green-day-fall-out-boy-weezer-give-50000-in-detroit-50-rocks-songs.html?outputType=amp

The song that brought me back to (and started my obsession with) Green Day. ❤️

I love Instagram. Thank goodness for Greg Schneider and his awesome photos. Really cool and feels meaningful too. And Jason White is the best. That was a great post and photo series ❤️

I was just saying this exact thing on Facebook when someone argued that FOB missing shows was out of concern for the utmost safety for everyone involved. But it has nothing to do with the safety of the crowd. Without mask and vaccine requirements the audience has been at high risk this entire tour but sure, use the utmost caution when it’s a crew or band member. That has everything to do with keeping the show going and the money rolling in and nothing to do with crowd safety

Never thought I'd see the day that Fred Durst was a voice of reason. But here we are

I didn’t even notice that! Why is he so camera shy? 😭

Billie going to check on Mike

Unlisted on my Youtube account. I didn't know how to upload it otherwise. Sorry for the quality. First time I'm recording my phone screen 😅

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/music/2021/08/11/covid-variant-forces-concert-industry-rethink-approach/5505559001/ "In short, the system is still very flawed," Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst tells Billboard. "Even if the performers, crews, staff, and promoters do their best to ensure safety on and behind the stage, that doesn’t ensure the safety of the audience as a whole. We are all in this together, and we all — individually and as a whole — have to make our best efforts to be as responsible and proactive as possible moving forward to combat and stop spreading COVID."

It's weird, even though I know the other shows were far from cool, it seems like the heat was really getting to them tonight. The second I saw Billie without a jacket, I knew they were feeling the heat. I honestly thought the thing with Mike at the end wasn't serious (or was planned) because the cameras/monitors showed him sitting down, but in hindsight it wouldn't be surprising if he felt bad. God knows I was kind of miserable sitting/standing out there, so I can't imagine how they did it. And I thank them for it!

Here you go

“Uh, uh, uh… you like that, bitch?” 😂
