That Dude Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 What if Billie is replaced with former Smash Mouth singer, Steve Harwell? Oh and over time Tre and Mike leave as well. Travis Barker takes over drums AND bass for a time before getting Lil Wayne's bass player. Green Day will become a combination of Rap, Smash Mouth and +44. I'd give it a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like there was a guy going around the bars or something of LA and telling people he was Mike Dirnt of Green Day and was either assaulting women or stealing from people I forget. I'm trying to find where I read about that. I'm pretty sure I'm not making it up, the police were looking for the guy and Mike had to prove it wasn't him or something. Anyone have any detail on this? It's funny you mention this, I recently got an email at greenday.fm from an old man that said "I was looking at the attached photo, which I took aboard the train from Melbourne to Sydney, in the 90s. The dude in the attached photo, sat next to me and asked if I had heard of 'Green Day' and I said yes and then he said he was part of that band. How cool. I can only say that you, Mike, have become even more cool as the years have gone by." The attached photo of "Mike Dirnt" 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcj Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) 41 minutes ago, That Dude said: If Tre were to quit, would that be the end? When John Kiffmeyer (Al Sobrante) left GD to attend college Billie Joe and Mike tried other drummers but the band almost folded. Then after a few weeks, The Lookouts broke up and their drummer Tre Cool became available. He immediately took GD to next level. Both his drumming qualities and his unique personality, was perfect for the band. The rest is history. There are many amazing drummers out there but is there another Tre? The band have always loved and craved touring. I think they've a few years yet. If they break up, what if Tre quits? I'll cop out on that one. I don't want to think about it, yet.

He's one hell of a songwriter, churns out awesome songs time and time again, sings and is one amazing guitarist. But that's not all. Seeing Billie Joe live on stage is something else. I remember at Milton Keynes, the AI tour '05, 65k people, and he is in total control. The perfect showman. Your just totally mesmerized as he runs round the stage, lifting his hands like a conductor and you respond. So where the fuck are yer gonna find a Billie Joe2? Not on this fuckin planet.

Beerjeezus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I think if they wanted to they could go on without anyone except for BJA, but I doubt they would. (Even though who knows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted November 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2022 Aargh, why are we even having this convo, it breaks my heart to think of it. 🥹🥹 I don’t see GD continuing without any of the three, just can’t imagine it. If something happened to one of them I don’t think the other two would carry on. The only thing I could see would be Billie Joe going solo after a while but I sincerely hope they keep going as long as they enjoy it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Stevens (Highly Suspect) - vocals and guitar. Henrik Höckert (Viagra Boys) - bass John Dolmayan (System of a Down) - drums We're going to have a bit of a hurdle getting used to this, but it'll be good.

Insomniac90 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It‘s not easy to replace a frontman. Thats why I think we will never see Linkin Park again. They try some things in the studio but thats it. Same with Green Day. They‘re friends for so long and even their families. You can‘t replace any of them and I dont want it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
