And now back to our regularly scheduled programming of absolute radio silence for years

Maybe she is still pre-occupied by 1981 and her two kids in high school think that she's uncool.

As @Rumpelstiltskin2000 said, he had black hair in Oslo on October 12th 2009 and showed up to Dortmund, Germany on October 14th blonde. Back to black on November 12th in Turin. Stayed black for most of the rest of 2009. Looks like Asia tour he was black and from what I can tell whole Europe# 2 leg. Showed up in NJ on August 3, 2010 blonde and stayed blonde for North American leg #2. August 3 - Sept 4th back to black. So after looking at him blonde and back to black and blonde again, even though I still prefer the black, my favorite blonde look was like at Lollapalooza. Red and black striped pants...the one where he plays snippets of AC/DC, Bon Jovi, etc... I can't believe I just fell down that rabbit hole, but there you have it! 🤣

So we've (allegedly) heard from Hans that 1981 is coming in Autumn. Technically then another song could be the lead single and come out sooner? With 1981 being the second single, Fire Ready Aim style. I guess we should expect it at this point but still feels a little odd that they'd play a brand new song off the cuff when there's nothing else coming for months. Also interested to see whether 'new album promotion soon' could potentially mean some smaller club shows RevRad era style. This is just some thoughts I'm throwing out there, not trying to claim some kind of clairvoyance or anything like that or even that I really believe that I'm correct. Just an alternate way to look at things that still technically aligns with the info we've got (wish I didn't feel the need for this kind of disclaimer in this thread but that's what we've come to I guess lol).

4 years ago today I said hi to this guy. And ruffled this guy's hair.

Okay, good. I was worried it was Haushinka.

Last nigh in Quebec, Green Day played a new song called 1981: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuyoLTUtnp1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== It is the same song from this teaser: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cbmp9LilxZd/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== No further information on release date of a single or album, they just introduced the song, played it, and moved on. But this is definitely step 1 from more to come!

Someone on YT actually covered the song with more studio quality and it’s a much better way to get a reading of the song. I think the actual studio version should be a lot better and it seems like it will be just a fast and fun song. We’re all missing that from the band these days. It seems like it would be an excellent “filler” track on the new album. Obviously not going to be a single but atleast it’s a fun 2-3 min song with some pace to it. She and Westbound Sign are actually single-track rock operas. Wild One is a 30 second rock opera around ths 1:11-1:41 mark Youngblood was partially part of C&V which was apparently supposed to be a traditional opera.

Agree with @Vintage Disciple. I saw them October 2009 blonde, June 2010 black. Don’t get me started on the outfits with the striped pants, I loved them!

She Westbound Sign Wild One Youngblood These are all non-rock opera tracks that describe someone only using the word "she". Why would you assume that "she" refers to some character Billie made up for a rock opera?

He was blonde first time I saw them live 😍😍

She can multi-task.

I hear he stopped smoking though, so that's good.

Fink fights dirty

BLASPHEMY!! Obviously, he was just sticking to The Network by posting that as a "TAKE THAT LOSERS! GREEN DAY ALWAYS WIN" type of thing. Clearly, he was just laughing at them and their wild conspiracies. I think the only mature way to settle their differences is to get Billie and Fink in the ring and have them duke it out! My money's on Fink (sorry Billie).

I feel like this needs to be in here...🥰

OMG😍😍 OMG HE IS SO GORGEOUS🥰🥰🥰

Because we all desperately need a rock opera and we want to believe

Ashley, Maria...All the girls that wanna have fun.

But she screams in silence.

It definitely sounds like we’re in for a rock opera as the subject of the song is only described as “she”. Like who is she? Will there be more songs about this character?

21st CB Part II confirmed

Oh no G-L-O-R-I-A is back and she's gonna make Christian cry in the bathroom.

Gloria

Fink gonna get all black-hawk on Billie's ass!

Dear lord, he must be roasting in those layers. It's July, Billie. It's freaking ho as hell... (but he looks adorbs 🥰)

"Billie Joel".... It's okay. I wrote a school paper and spelled it like that once.

Nothing new but these news are generally made with a confirmation from the band or label so it is important I think : https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-green-day-debut-new-song-1981-3471107 Step by step the new era starts...

Do you guys think the new single will be out before the next show?

I missed the American Idiot tour so it was fucking cool to have Billie in his AI outfit last show. Of course it wasn't the black hair but I can live with an American Breakdown look.

Despite all the problems of the world, this random women is going to rock out. Hmm. At least it's a better narrative than a shock that...comes here. Be bop bada Bing hey oh.

The same she from She

Saint Jenny the album is obviously American Idiot from the perspective of a punkess this time, duh

Yeah Billie was blond for the first European leg of the 21CB tour and for the second US leg

21ST CBD tour he was blond for a while.

Green Day have performed live almost every year since 1987. The only years they haven't performed are 2003, 2008 and 2018. And looking at those years.....feuding with The Network didn't allow Green Day to perform in 2003. 2008 was Tubby Time, and 2018 was Longshot time.

So adorbs...Leather jacket, hoodie and tshirt! Where are you Billie? Alaska?

We don't know anything about Fink's character. He might be a good dude, might be a horrible monster. Not sure why Billie posted about Pizzagate or why it was blocked or whatever. Freedom of speech issues he saw about a band he previously dealt with. Insider info - Fink doesn't care about any of this.

I watched that video of Billie dropkicking some butthead from the stage for hours. What did Fink ever do?

Seconded, queued at 4 for Glasgow and got 2nd row off the catwalk

I thought about all of you when Billie was shaking his butt literally in front of me during Careless Whisper. But all the camera were on Jason. I should have filmed it for you 😋

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/watch_green_day_debut_new_song_1981_during_live_show.html#comments Ultimate Guitar wrote an article about the new song. They generally wrote more articles about Green Day during the last few months than they used to do before.

From Green Day’s Instagram story

The line is long.....................

You don‘t have to be that early. Last year I arrived at 3pm for FOS in Groningen and before going to the stage I went to the merch which took me a long time. After that I went to the stage at 4pm and got the 2nd row at the catwalk.

One could argue playing 1981 is promo starting

Billie is looking absolutely enchanting atm. I think the blonde hair makes him look younger, and I like the length it's at now - long enough to make his head look all big and cute and fluffy, but not too long that it obscures his beautiful face! Also nice to see him changing up his outfits a little, first the stripes and now the AI outfit with short sleeves!

We need these here too From Billie's Instagram post

I thought these two belonged in here https://www.instagram.com/p/CuuA18RueN6/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
