My phone just reminded me yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of the first time I saw these guys.

I know this is the wrong thread but omgggggg he looks so cuuuuuuuute! 🥰

From reddit: StevieRed80

Hi guys, I decided to start a new thread for this topic to speculate a bit, if it's not ok please close it So, some days ago we saw Tré posting a story on IG where he was on a plane. Thanks to Sara's stories we realized they are in London now, together with some of the Green Day Crew, like Chris Dugan (who posted a pic of a #wurlitzer on Instagram) and some others, maybe also Greg. Then @steviered80 posted a photo on Twitter saying he meets Billie in Camden so he's in there too of course: On the latest update Steve wrote that he was there with his wife "and some other people", I'd say Greg, if you look closely on the photo in the reflection (?) ahah So what do you think they are up to? Promoting BBC Live Session? Recording something (HOW I WISH) but if it's true, where is Mike? Just for fun/personal things (but then why the crew is there?) I'd love a secret show but I'm fantasize maybe ahah By the way I'm glad it's time to speculate again AND, I'm glad they're on my side of the world ❤️

I havent been on this forum for years! But came back especially to speculate haha. It was my birthday on Saturday, did a pub crawl in Soho, and now see Billie Joe was around the same area at the same time! Can't believe it, if I'd bumped into him with my friends, while drunk on my birthday it would have been carnage! Anyway, seems likely its related to the BBC sessions, but surprising so many of the crew are here, which gives me hope for some type of gig... I'm tempted to go and hang around Maida Vale Studios, as wouldn't surprise me if they're there as that's where the original recordings are from... anyway fingers crossed for something, its been too long!

All I know is they better not do something right now while I 100% can't have any days off work (currently doing double the normal amount of work with no days off since one person quit and the other is off sick and I'm the only one left) . I feel like a secret show isn't that likely with the covid situation anyway so probably just something to do with the live sessions/promotion.

Finally the kinds of sightings we should have had on tour. This feels so normal ❤️

Great to see our friend Billie Joe Armstrong from @greenday ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CVc2V1EAaSI/

I was also at that show!! Ah...just...good fucking times. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to.

If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right! 😂

That is the question, all the odder with Mike in USA. Did anyone ask the guys who tweeted meeting Billie Joe if was on his own? Just seen an update, he was eating with Adrienne and “a few other people” goddam amateurs, who were the otters?? 😂😂

I wish the RevRad era never ended, damn..

As long as butch walker isnt there

They’re more likely doing overdubs/mix approval on the BBC stuff, but it would be so cool if they were recording new things

And young!

He looks so meanacing in the 4th one 😆

I want to know what you think @GDFan2019

The Green Day store has some puzzles and other enticing items. Yummy.

From @batmansmom Tre pushing Mickey in his pram from @bubukittyfk And lots from Kevin

It will break my heart if somehow there's a secret show and I can't go because of my health 💔

That's the place with the bridge, right?

Actually the live recordings usually do have multitracks and are mixed like a normal song - in the first song released you can hear how everything is panned and balanced around, and there’s even separate guitars in the left and right ear, which means they either did two passes of the original or there are overdubs going on

I haven’t seen those yet. Most recent ones are for breast cancer awareness and before that were the ones of her and Mike together at a bar That might explain why Chris Dugan is there. Doing the mixing or mastering maybe (live performances wouldn’t have tracks to mix so whatever the engineer would need to do to get these ready for release sounding good)

Now would be the perfect time to start dropping hints 🙂

Yes, to enter the country you must be vaccinated and must doing the test, if not you need to do 10 days of quarantine if I remember well. Maybe he comes alone (?)

Finally that time of the year again, already missed speculating with all of you 😍

Not new album but this is still exciting! I was so bummed when the original releases were exclusive to Oakland Coffee subs. I love coffee but don't love that price! I just hate it's coming for the holidays because I'm not supposed to buy stuff to let my friends and family get gifts for me....but I still wanna pre order CD AND vinyl 😆 (Probably still pre order at least the vinyl for myself 👀)

I also wondered about Abbey Road 🤣 BBC session wise I was thinking promo. But it can't only be a small thing for them to have come over in person, and I don't imagine Mickey would be brought if only for a one or two day trip....what is up their sleeves?

We all do

And they are releasing a song a week until the release like that Billie Joe fellow with his No Freaking Fun Mondays Thingamajig.

A few of these are old ones from Billie's Instagram (I'm glad at least someone saved them)

Jools Holland could be a good call, as ever, we just need to wait and see. I don’t see it would have anything to do with the BBC session recordings being released though. Hopefully something to get excited about!

Probably. Don't know if Jools Holland still does his New Year TV bash but it's recorded up front so could be something like that So when Tre posted this he was on his way to London

Me thinks something is going on!

Camden yesterday

Hopefully something! I’m so excited! I’m jumping to conclusions! But a lot of us are feeling like something is up and it’s been like that for a couple of weeks… Hopefully this is something! Isn’t it a pain to travel from the US to the UK right now? Seems too much of a coincidence.

I just hate it because I don't see how emos posing around, being abusive to their parents for no reason, vandalising stores and cutting their wrists to be cool reflects anything about Billie's youth/the Bay Area punk scene that seemed to actually have worthwhile values which the song refers to. Like, youth rebellion can be shown without being super cringe. I think it was the first Green Day video I waited for and I was very disappointed by it lol. Director's fault though not the actors.

To me JOS is just cringe edgy emo teens acting like posers and spoiled brats. With bonus "self harm is so cool!!!11". I was a teenager myself when it came out and cringed then as well. The message of the WMUWSE one is good but again with the cringe emo melodrama at the beginning . Not my cup of tea. Yeah I remember the way they described the concept of it (them playing rockstar characters doing the "sex drugs and rock n roll" thing) was better than the finished result. I think the main problem was the band members were awkward , and the director just didn't really manage to make it look like they and the models were having a fun time. The uncensored Playboy version (which isn't just uncensored but an entirely differently cut video with different footage from the shoot) was a bit better because they looked like they were enjoying themselves a bit more.

American Idiot era RevRad club tour Trilogy era - Montreux Jazz Festival

Yeah I meant maybe since Brittney couldn't, he stayed back or something. (Again, pure speculation!)

According to Google, the NYE hootenanny is recorded early December, but of course this year they may be spreading out having the guests over. Why would it have anything to do with the BBC sessions though, surely by this time they are done and dusted, even the lawyers and management would be done by now? AbbeyRoad is very near Camden Town, just saying. 😉

I think most likely. TV appearance or radio interview?

The illustration is really good, but I don't like the weird proportions. It just makes it unsettling imo. I guess that's just his style, but it's not my cup of tea.

I agree but am sure the first one has been enhanced, or maybe better to say altered. He ‘s so beautiful there is no need to fake it, this one looks OTT to me.

This! Oh Love is not the worst at all. And the turning on its head the idea of the artists entertaining the scantily clad women in a music video. That seems like a new (badly executed) powerful idea. I wish it was executed better but it is far from the worst. Jesus of Suburbia is ok but why the hell is it not over ten minutes of GREEN DAY and their excellent acting instead of what it was just some guy and bad acting (not good bad acting like GD who are the best) and forget about the WMUWSE video. I don’t watch that one. I watched it once or twice just to make sure I didn’t want to watch it again. Oh Love is way better and heavy with the band footage and totally does not even need to go near an award for worst Green Day video.

I was in front of Billie at that show and was absolutely covered in sweat and spit (he was literally raining sweat as I'm sure we all were) and had to fly back to the UK early the next morning so I reckon it was a few days until I was able to shower

What is it about his eyes….in that bottom pic they are half shut and his hair is over them and still they are striking! ❤️❤️

Nobody's ever taken a 5088 on tour before...until now. Green Day's long-time FOH Engineer Kevin Lemoine walks us through why he chose a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 for this year's Hella Mega tour, how it's configured for his specific use, and (most importantly) how it sounds. The tour is now wrapped for 2021, but will be back in 2022. See you then.

It’s older it’s from 1975. And it’s a simple song but a great stadium anthem

Oh man, so it took me a loooong time, but I finally got all my RAW photos edited. Here are some of my favorites and I'll also link to the whole collection: I'll spoiler some more: Here's the link to the whole album: https://imgur.com/a/AGKfdFG
