The Forgotten Genius of Green Day

What makes the self-proclaimed "God’s favourite band" so different from every other punk-rock band ever? From sleeping on couches and floors to reviving a genre, @GreenDay has gone from being an overnight phenomenon to being synonymous with rock and roll.

"...the posture of a banana"! 😂

"With the posture of a banana and the talent of a God"

Amazingly this isn't the first time I've seen Billie described this way . Don't know where they nicked it from

Sloppy article generally, but as it’s suitably worshipful I”ll let it pas 😂😂.  Always loved that posture of a banana, talent of a god line, it’s so true but I can’t remember where it came from originally.

I still get notes on this thing. It's my legacy and I didn't even make the comment!

I gave the youtube user credit in the screenshot  but amazing how it only had 50-something likes when I found it. I guess Good Riddance Live on Goat Island in 2000 isn't the most popular GD video out there 😛

Ohhh  haha, you're right! I went onto that video and there are so many comments about his posture now, I don't know if I caused that but it's hilarious!

There are some really interesting interviews here. Thanks!

No not the puke contest again

[Slave To The Network]

That's the first thing I thought of too!  But then I remembered the gum chewing while singing thing. It's about that. lol

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

I know it was just Billie and that other people lived in the warehouse but cool it got a mention anyway

I might be confusing fact and fiction but didn't Billie and Tré live together at some point? Possibly even at this warehouse?

I think Mike lived in the warehouse for a bit. Billie and Tre lived together at Ashby Ave.

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

Yeah Billie and Tre just lived at the "Longview House" on Ashby Avenue. Mike lived down the road.  I don't think Mike ever lived at the warehouse or at least not the same one where Billie lived which was shared with other punk musicians and artists.

That One of My Lies factoid is great. Can't believe I missed it out of my Bay Area history post. I totally just went and added it as if it was there the whole time

Feeling sad for Jeff after breaking up with Kalie, what a shit time of year. Poor guy.  If it's true that she cheated on him, I hope his heart heals quickly. He seems angry at the moment which is understandable.

 

And I'm not sure what Christian Slater has to do with it.... 

Happy Christmas to you all, if that's your thing. If it's a tough one, hope goes as well as it possibly can. 🎄

[jumpsalty]

I understand if he’s hurt and angry but calling her out on social media knowing he has thousands of followers ready to pounce is a dick move. 

[Hermione]

Seemed like they enjoyed being together so it's a shame for it to happen right before Christmas. It is quite immature to post on twitter about it like that, I guess he was hurt and wanted to get it out of his system and not necessarily in the most rational and considerate frame of mind.

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

It's understandable his feelings are hurt and ranting on twitter is a very Jeff thing to do.
