I think my mom misses me because she's using any Green Day news/update to strike up a conversation with me. Sent me a screenshot of BOBD on the radio and then seemed oddly excited about the Super Bowl announcement?

Same! As if I don't know I was like thanks but yes, I'm aware lol. With the help of the great people of Green Day Community, we often know about things before they're officially announced

What? I didn't even know Jakob was singing on it. But my brother and dad sound exactly the same when they sing even though they don't when they talk so that could be the case here It's a cool cover, a big song to tackle but they pull it off well! Yes that is a good description of the vocals here, sounds very different

So one of those articles says Billie is not the lead vocalist on this?!?! Now I’m confused as to who sings lead??? Also people assume that song C..T is about her but there isn’t proof

Absolutely. I always come on here first for updates and announcements, and they are always reliable. greenday.fm & greenday.com are always days behind any announcement on here. Wouldn't surprise me if the band come on here first as well to check out what's happening. lol. 😁😁

All of my friends sent me the news about the Super Bowl performance. Way ahead of you, friends

He is not, sadly. Would've loved to see a post from him about this cover with Jakob.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DUEBP6ojSKG/?igsh=ajVvYjFodXN1cTQx This is a football/soccer show and he’ll be on as a guest talking about the sport and presumably the Oakland Roots team. It will likely be available to stream at some point

This is good news. Is he back on instagram yet?

Here's some interesting articles from music press: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bille-joe-armstrong-jakob-david-bowie-heroes-cover-1235504061/ https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-and-son-jakobs-faithful-new-cover-of-david-bowies-heroes-3925141

Literally no one is sticking up for Joey. Bringing up the scandal in a thread about a cover he did with his OTHER son is extremely distasteful. Calling Bowie creep who sleeps with minors, based on mysoginistic rumors about Lori Maddox, despite other instances and behaviors proving otherwise is extremly distasteful. Comparing a grown man sleeping with teenage groupies, to a 22yo kid being in a relationship with a 17yo younger kid is extremely distasteful. Those are the only things I’m saying. Never did I stick up for Joey, I believe his victim and I believe he was abusive, based on her stories. But that is not due to his age, but his behavior towards her. I will no elaborate on it any further, just wanted to clear it up that I’m no supporting an abuser. Thanks. We feel like it has nothing to do with the subject at hand

It was illegal, the age of consent in California is 18. But it was never just about the age, it's that he was emotionally abusive towards her and pressured her into sexual activity. She wrote a detailed account about it, and he never denied anything she wrote or gave a different account. There's also the fact that literally his band's ENTIRE image and message was about being feminist and respecting women and their entire fanbase was young feminist girls. And their response after this happened was to just hide away and not talk about it. He and his band really were rightfully judged for it and deserved for it to end the band. You should look up her full statement about it. But anyway, this sounds aweseome! Gonna listen later

I just love that people will send me Green Day news unprompted

Same happened here lol

It sounds to me like Jakob sings lead for roughly the first half and Billie takes over after that and Jakob switches to harmony vocal. I’d need to listen carefully again to pinpoint that but I’m fairly sure of it.

Pretty surprising to see something like this drop.

We're still waiting for this... it's been 3 long years!!

What does any of this have to do with Billie and Jakob being commissioned to record a David Bowie cover? Let’s remember the thread topic

Thank you for the information, I didn’t know that. That changes things of course. I thought it was only a matter of their age.

yippee thanks!! XD my mission now is to get some kids in my school into GD >:D not an easy task TvT

They won't. GD's opening, Bad Bunny's performing at halftime. The only way they perform together is if GD does a "guest spot" in Bad Bunny's halftime set.

Well done dedicated and faithful GD disciple warrior. Our continuing mission is to convert this lost world to the wonders of Green Day. 🤪

anddd now my friend just sent me a message of a photo of a bunch of GD songs on spotify she was listenin to, and she said that blvrd of broken dreams is THE BEST SONG she's ever heard :0 and this is someone who used to not like GD Xb i have succeeded in my mission XD

This sounds amazing. Their voices are so similar!

I really like Billie’s vocal delivery in this. Very classy and tender. Would be interested in this with Saviors vocal production instead of this “he’s far away” sound.

I was looking at tattoo studios in Waikiki and... don't I know this man??? Can't believe I get so excited about spotting some old men in the wild.

Today is my two-year anniversary of being a part of this amazing community. Thank you so much my GDC family .
