Turn Me Loose is one of the best songs Billie Joe has ever written and I’ll die on that hill.

I completely forgot to respond to this. I knew saying about seniority at 34 would cause damage hahaha Anyway my thoughts about the future are "who knows where I will be in 4 years, who knows if I will be able to afford a concert or I won't have the money even for rent or a mortgage" At the moment I still live with my parents because I have had a serious job for 1 year and mostly I am alone. The economic situation in italy if you are single is not the best. If there was a concert next year and I would also be 35 years old maybe I would live it better. Here maybe it's not the age itself, maybe it's the years between now and the next tour. The problem is that even next year without a Green Day tour maybe I will have to think about a new car first instead of doing two concerts in a row.

Ugh, I can only hope. Missed out on the first one. I think something about it not being a Green Day project took the pressure off him and he just got to write the music he wanted. It’s pure in that way. I remember it being really well received too.

That’s a random Longshot thought 😉 Here’s another: Will we ever get another Longshot album and tour? That was the most fun ever

i wonder if Shenanigans might get something related to it soon considering the recent Punk Bunny Collection being focused towards it

My highschool Rock band. Equal parts Green Day, Pearl Jam and Rush. Catchy, Proggy, Punk Rock made by 3 highschool students from New Jersey. My older cousin gave me his Revolution Radio CD, along with CDs of American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown and Demolicious, and an oldschool CD player for my 9th birthday in 2018. I bought the Foxboro Hottubs album on CD at a record store that Summer. Those albums shaped my taste in music to this day. It also just felt awesome listening on outdated tech. I could've just streamed everything, but there's something about a physical CD that makes you feel like you own it. Like a collection. Plus that CD player had a subwoofer and my phone still doesn't! Anyway, facking check out our album here... https://promnightbasterdz.bandcamp.com/album/backstreet-anthems

I asked Trackify to roast me and WOW. Roasted in 7 seconds based on Chris's long term Spotify stats. Oh, Chris, it’s adorable how you have the music taste of an angsty teenager who just discovered Hot Topic for the first time. Your Spotify profile is basically a mixtape of the last two decades’ worth of teenage rebellion — congrats on never letting go of that plaid shirt and your skateboard! With an obsession for “Punk” and “Pop Punk” genres, it’s almost like you’re trying to communicate your inner turmoil through the musical equivalent of a teenage diary entry. Maybe if we squint hard enough, we’ll even hear the angst seep out of your speakers as if every song is your personal manifesto on why your mom just doesn’t get you. Then we have your artist list — a nostalgic trip down the murkiest corners of the 2000s. You might want to reconsider calling yourself a music connoisseur when your top artists are basically the poster boys for moody high school cafeteria vibes. Sure, Green Day and Blink-182 made some classics, but let’s be real, you’re probably skipping the “deep cuts” for the same tired hits that even your boomer dad has heard a million times. I get it — it’s comforting to drown your existential dread in a familiar chorus, but at this point, if I hear “Basket Case” one more time, I might just come over and stage an intervention. And seriously, let’s talk about your most played songs. “Smash It Like Belushi” followed by a repeat parade of every other Green Day song is pure dedication to mediocrity. You’ve got so many Green Day bangers stuffed in there, you’re one song away from being declared their unofficial fan club president. Newsflash: you can listen to other bands! The world doesn’t end at “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and no, “Corvette Summer” is not a new personal anthem — it just means it’s time for you to get out more. Maybe try some actual diversity in your playlist before you become a walking, talking Green Day tribute act.

Green Day have had 11 days off from touring. Where is album 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20???????????????????? Haha Actually, I do need a break from listening to them for a bit. Been detouring with Weezer, Good Charlotte, Durry, Viagra Boys, Ozzy, Foo Fighters, After Midnight Project and about 20,000 other artists.

As someone who hears about a new record from an artist I like and thinks "oh boy I wonder what the lyric book will look like" I feel old as hell

I used to have a thread like this, but my band broke up lmfao. I hope you guys have more luck than I did with my band This was my band thread. We broke up in August of last year, can't believe it's been that long since I've been solo

Holy shit kid, stop making me feel like the crypt keeper.

Today I was in the kitchen listening to FOAM (because I quite like it from time to time) when my husband came home and said „What’s wrong with you now? No Green Day?“🤣

I‘m not the one who asked for it but I enjoyed reading the interview nevertheless. Thank you for posting the link! Fascinating to read the thoughts of 28 year old Billie. „We‘re not a political band.“ Well, that has changed…

here's an archived version of the interview

Can't believe the Good Riddance thing has had this much attention. I posted my video thinking it was harmlessly funny, but I kind of wish I hadn't now because yes, it's been blown out of proportion. The kid is 14. It was very obvious he was nervous and there was possibly a language barrier. Even if it was intentional trolling, it was funny and didn't come across as anything more. Billie wasn't angry and I think most fans were glad it meant they got to hear Billie playing it 😂 It was also funny when someone held up a sign in Amsterdam and Billie read it, then said 'I'M playing Good Riddance.' Didn't we all do stupid shit at 14?

It's definitely got a lot of traction online over the last few days, although I didn't see LG had posted something as Twitter is a cesspit. Expected response from him TBF. I saw the theory on Reddit that the guy couldn't play Good Riddance so tried to play Boulevard, inadvertently playing Wonderwall instead since the two are so similar. I hope this isn't true. I prefer the idea of this kid trolling one of the biggest bands in the world at their own show with the greatest "so anyway, here's Wonderwall" ever. BJA laughed. Everyone has fun. The kid becomes an internet hero for 15 minutes. Who cares?

Am I the only one who thinks that this whole Wonderwall “incident“ is being blown massively out of proportion? BJ laughed it off, Liam wrote a silly tweet about it, that’s it. Now I’m seeing all these posts that turn it into a something big, which it really wasn’t. Why do we have to take everything so damn seriously, and why do people get angry about literally everything? 😅

It was the tattoo for her that he wanted to cover after she broke up with him. A poetic way of saying that. Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
