Of course! The main reason I love Billie so much is because he's just an amazing person. His unbelievable attractiveness is just a bonus. I love Mike and Tré for the same reasons. Just minus the attractiveness. Not that they're bad looking, they just don't really do it for me personally. They have all those great qualities that Billie does in terms of the people they are.

I enforced it when I was a mod . But I think people are fairly restrained there, it's really mostly just saying he looks good and reacting to photos with this: lol. The guy has got on stage and got his dick out, mooned, simulated masturbation and shouted "somebody fuck me!", appeared naked, stripped to a leopard thong, humped the floor, and made out with fans, I don't think a few people saying he looks sexy is a problem.

With how much crap OEB got on this site when it leaked, it's interesting to see that this is the best performing track for the past few days. Guess the criticism didn't translate to the general public. I've always been a fan of OEB.

It's us doing a whole lot of this

Not sure if someone said this already but happy two weeks of Saviors being out!

I think we’re quite respectful. The objectification side of it always has a silly lightheartedness to it and IMO it’s mostly just us having cartoon heart eyes and absolutely adoring the hell out of these people. We keep it here bc it would be too sickly sweet to spread all over the forum.

Here here! Adding to this, yes I think Billie is cute as heck but more than anything I have such respect for him. And I don't feel that way about all the musicians I listen to. I respect Billie because he's always followed his gut and his heart. When people wanted to oust green day because they went mainstream he was like fuck you this is what we want, it's good for the band. And I love that he's always had that spirit. He doesn't let anyone get in his way of things he thinks are right, not even the fans! If he wants to do something, he'll do it come hell or high water. When you have so many sides yelling at you to do this or that, especially when you're as big as green day, it's easy to cave under pressure but Billie and the band in general have stood their ground and listen to themselves. I have immense respect for that.

@Slave To The Network I couldn’t agree more! My fangirling is first and foremost rooted in deep respect. I am not like this with other famous people, but I genuinely think the world of this band. I love them for what they stand for as people. I am in awe of their talent, work ethic, and passion for their craft. I am endeared by how grounded they are both in their friendship with each other and in how important their families and communities are to them. I have so much admiration for them as people and musicians. I wouldn’t be such a longtime fan if I didn’t. And Billie is just my favorite person, for too many reasons to name. From the way he treats everyone from the littlest fans to music journalists to how sincerely he cares about important causes, he’s just good in a way that I know has influenced me to be a better and more caring person. I find him hilarious and sweet and to be such a gifted writer. And as someone who also deals with anxiety, he just continuously blows me away with how brave he is, whether it’s talking about heated political topics or his personal struggles. No one is perfect, and he’s certainly not, and my life in this fandom has definitely not been a straight line of me always looking at him with googly eyes. But man, if there’s anyone in this world I wholeheartedly adore, it’s him. And yeah, it’s a nice bonus that he’s also like the cutest human I’ve ever seen. But I find him as attractive as I do for all the other stuff I listed, too.

From Billie's Instagram story

It’s dropped from 1 to 26 in the UK official charts . 😢😭 Going by the amount of vinyl copies of Saviors up on ebay, I guess a lot of the pre-orders were bought to sell, although some seem to be listed by ‘record dealers’.

Some trilogy era pics here

Billie Jo Armstrong

My Japanese import CD arrived today, so I finally got to listen to this song! Nothing great, kind of reminds me of a Fountains of Wayne song, but still catchy. I think the uniqueness of having a physical version of this song makes me appreciate it more.

Don't think I've seen this one posted yet.

1981 'doing well' is only because is in the sequence of the previous singles on the streaming services the best non-single is Suzie Chapstick, that surpass plays of the two previous tracks

Imagine how cool it would be if they played whole album live and released in HQ

Doesn't seem to be the case for me. When I view the count on the album and the single count, I see the same number

I really love the Dookie cooler but sadly only seems available in the US. 😭

There's never too much love lol. We all adore Green day more after they gifted us another great album. The boys especially Billie deserve their share of praising.

Just came in here from the Saviors Album thread, geez! Can it get a little warm in here from time to time? Sure, but on the whole I'd say we're pretty respectful.

It’s not random after all, we are very discerning!

The album dropped from no. 2 to no. 10 in the German charts. Not too bad, considering both RevRad and FOAM fell out of the top 10 after a week.

It may have to do with the fact that Adrienne is not in Green Day, which this forum is all about and not about band members' wives.

I don’t really think it’s largely about this (I agree with @pacejunkie punk that it sounds like it’s about resigning to the fact that Adrienne could leave him if he continued on a self-destructive path), but I wonder if any of it is about the loss of Adeline Records itself. It always struck me as odd that Pat Magnarella was dropped as their manager and then Adeline Records subsequently closed — I believe he was the one who really demanded Billie get help in 2012 and they seemed close, which made the management change feel like a falling out. Maybe it was just a series of business decisions, but it does make me wonder.

I think the Dookie+AI dates will be killer and a rare thing to see (as Mike stated in a recent interview), at least for me that i'm a hard American Idiot lover ❤️ i was not fortunate to be at a GD gig in 2005 but now will see them in Dublin with the full album. Just magic!

Scissors can solve that problem.

Here's what I expected from the Billboard reviews: Bobby Sox - something like Linkin Park performing Weezer Dilemma - Actually don't even know Goodnight Adeline - Acoustic-worthy song Coma City - Something in the speed of Sugar Youth Corvette Summer - Some garage song in the vein of Sugar Youth in a way Suzie Chapstick - Something melodic Strange Days - Something in the vein of alien noises, UFO noises, fast vocals and glitched-up guitars Living in the 20s - A punky-altrock song Father to a Son - The actual song Saviors - 21st Century Breakdown-ish song Fancy Sauce - A power ballad, even though the title at first sight made me think of a meatball on a plate I got it from a preorder and it arrived 1 day after release, and I feel the asymmetry is a bout of living hell too. Considering I also own BBC Sessions, which has the same packaging and length.

I’ve been listening to the album on Spotify and now I finally found the CD at my local FYE!!! Looks kinda weird on my CD rack though, it’s a little taller than the other albums!

I wonder if there will be a rock revival some day again like in the early 2000s 🤔 maybe Olivia Rodrigo is the beginning to bridge the gap from pop back to rock.

Look Mom, Yes Color!

Why are you talking about an old arena that doesn't even exist anymore in my city 😅

New Dookie cooler in collaboration with Igloo https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/green-day-igloo-cooler-where-to-buy-1235445138/?fbclid=IwAR1IiNWfaCCba2NSaNyYa6gaFPSUToQPqwLAcoX9jDC3DW5M3vXMADtImCk

Or these (although I think they've been posted a lot elsewhere online) Saw someone had done one like this on Instagram (Tre looks most different nowadays?)

Well this rule haven't been respected because in the last 3 years I can quote a lot of posts fantasising about Billie 😅 But it's double standard and mods only see what they want anyway.

Not that I am an marketing expert, but since we have such a large gap between now and the first set of shows, I think it would be nice to see the band let Dilemma cook and see where it can hit on the charts. Once it inevitably slows down, one more single (1981, which is the highest streamed non-single). I wanted so badly to suggest a Side-B song, but I don't think any of them have the ability to be the earworm that 1981 could be

In our defence, being a regular on the fangirl thread, if there is any debate about anyone doing anything to anyone, it’s often us forming a posse to fix his eyeliner etc. so it’s pretty jokey. Yes, there is a lot of “how gorgeous is Billie looking” and much discussion about his hair but it’s jokey and pretty respectful. There’s a lot of love on that thread.

I suspect that’s more “celebrity walking through public area, I’m busy, leave me alone” swagger than anything else.

They’re not playing the full albums at festivals, not because they don’t have time but because festival audiences are too broad to play those deep cuts for. It makes sense to have a more “greatest hits” setlist in that environment.

My bf is very accustom to it now 😆 except he doesn't understand the terms of fangirling. He'll call me a Fangirl for anything now. I'm like look just because I really like certain bands or YouTubers doesn't mean I'm a Fangirl of it 🙄

Can’t stop listening. I think Saviors could have been a great single.

Billie is the best unboxer.

Thought I'd leave these "arms" here

Looks like Billie uncovered an old box with some copies of "Look for Love" "Look for Love 1977 original pressing" From Mike From Kevin and Ryan Baxley spotted a Saviors billboard From Green Day's Instagram story

Lmao I was so caught up with listening to the album I forgot all about this. Just listened to it and was dancing in my seat , what a funky track! I love that groovy riff. Also it's perfect as a bonus track, something fun and different.

On the one hand, it's a fun song that's giving me some strong summer vibes (kind of reminds me of MXPX "Kings of Hollywood" for some reason). On the other hand, the line "Don't want no money, don't want no fame. All I want's my records making my pain go away" always gives me a punch in the gut because I think it's Billie being 100% honest. It's one of those typical Billie songs: Happy, lighthearted and fun on the outside, but when you look closer, it's sad and painful.
