desertrose Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The definitive Green Day playlist For the better part of the 30 years, Green Day has carried the flag for the pop-punk movement. It's been an up-and-down journey, but the band is still standing, armed with a catalog full of classic and memorable hits. Here's our definitive list of the 25 best Green Day songs. https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/the_definitive_green_day_playlist/s1__35749739 ‘The Outsiders’ House: Tiny Tulsa museum drawing big names Green Day, in Tulsa for a surprise show at Cain’s Ballroom, also called and asked to stop by. “They came through and were fans as well,” O’Connor said, noting that frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has ties to Oklahoma — his mother is from the Sooner State. https://fox4kc.com/news/the-outsiders-house-tiny-tulsa-museum-drawing-big-names/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 10 Greatest Hard Rock Moments On Live TV 10. Billie Joe Needs One Minute Sometimes when you're performing in front of a live audience, you're going to need some liquid courage to get you through the set. Since there are going to be potentially millions of people watching you play music, having a little something to take the edge off normally helps a musician relax for a little bit. If you learn anything from Billie Joe Armstrong though, it's best not to mix and match. After coming off of the somewhat lackluster reception of Green Day's first entry in their trilogy of albums Uno, Billie Joe was a little bit off the rails when he arrived at the iHeartRadio music festival. Already out of his mind on prescription pills, Armstrong decided to wash it down with some drinks at the bar, by which time he was hammered when he got onstage. Once they were expected to close things out with Basket Case, Armstrong stops halfway through because of his teleprompter telling him he only has a minute left. Calling out other musicians and smashing his guitar in the process, Billie promised to be back only to check himself into rehab a few weeks later. Considering this was the show that also featured acts like Usher and Justin Bieber, this was about as rock and roll as the night ever truly got. https://whatculture.com/music/10-greatest-hard-rock-moments-on-live-tv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I might splurge and get that. Still don't have a turntable, but AI is my favorite album period and it would be a shame not to jump on this opportunity. I just got paid today so... 🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDayItaly Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPeveEvT5l0 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 I've written a travel guide on how to plan a tour of the Bay Area's Green Day history. This is mostly about getting there and the most common questions I get asked about safety, money, etc because a surprising amount of people are scared off by Oakland's reputation and the misconception that flights to California are prohibitively expensive. I'll write up some example itineraries in other posts. https://www.mariagloriaharvey.com/post/plan-gd-history 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I saw Billie in person on the pavement/sidewalk outside the St James Theatre in New York I couldn't believe how tiny he was and I'm 5'6". He just seemed tiny in every way. I think it's partly because he keeps his hands in his pockets and hunches his shoulders over? I have to say even Tre seemed tiny when I met him but he was thinner on the 99 Revolutions Tour 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s shorter than 5’7”. Even the clip said “about 5’7” that could maybe mean almost anything. You’re 5’6” and he seemed short or just like he was trying to shrink with his posture? I always felt like he was an ultimate showman on stage but ultimately the shyest in real life when he wanted to be. I love his puffed up stage presence and his sometimes vulnerability in interviews etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 I'm still convinced Billie is 5'8". I'm nearly 5'8" (definitely an inch taller than you @Rumpelstiltskin2000 ) and Billie was at least an inch taller than me when I got onstage. I think that may well be because he slumps offstage but stands up straight when he's in his element. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think Tre is the shortest, just by a whisker, he certainly seems it in lots of pics though it pays to check out their shoes. 😂 I think Tre just seems bigger because he is much chunkier than Billie, also as @solongfromthestars said, Billie’s posture makes him seem smaller. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy because when you're watching them on stage they don't look small at all! Even Mike isn't so tall at 5'10". Maybe that's why They're all quite small 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I thought it was common knowledge that Billie is 5'7". Tré I think is only 5'6", but he's stockier so he looks bigger and that's why Billie's always the one who's perceived as the shortest/smallest of the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
