I was thinking the same thing, that would suck so bad š. I love a good mystery though. My gut level feeling is that itās not a private show because why would he post it on an account that he knows hardcore GD fans are following. Also that itās not a joke for the same reason. That would just be mean. And Billie is lots of things but heās not mean.
pouty bitch Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I'm not gonna get my hopes up about this, but if this is really something to do with Green Day, IT'S THE FUCKING BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD IN MONTHS! Although knowing my luck, it'll probably be a stupid joke from Billie or something.Ā Evil little bastard.
WorryRock02 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 For sure the club, KNOWING that we know that in one way or another is involved Billie ,will not make it public. haha Green Day know how good we are at discovering things and 'unmasking them'. And they have a lot of fun in thisĀ too.. Besides, Bill Schneider A WEEK AGO said that he would perform at the Ivy with his new band 'The Dead Sounds' who 'surprise'Ā are just mentioned in the new The Coverups post. Finger crossed !!!!
Marki. Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 If it was meant to be a private event they wouldn't have posted aboutĀ it on the public instagram account, especially since they know fans were discussing it just a few days ago. Still hoping it's not a joke of some sort Ā Hopefully someone from GDC can go!Ā

I agree a joke would be mean given it does seem to be an actual show. People are traveling for gods sake. Secret shows are nothing new for these guys. They wouldnāt draw people out this way and then piss them off by not showing up to a club thatās in their backyard.Ā Using this account was a great way to get the word out to the smallest group of fans and avoid both trolls and major media attention. I love it.Ā

If I don't get one by noon Eastern I will call them
DeJennsitized Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 This is like FBHT all over again Ā I think it'd be funny if it turns out there's no real connection - this thread would go into meltdown Ā imagine the memes
pacejunkie punk Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 A covers band is a great side project while they work on new material for the next album. Ā Itās an easy diversion.Ā Ā They donāt have to write anything and everyone loves their covers. They have enough covers to fill a long set and itās just fun for them. Ā It keeps them connected to their core fans during an otherwise quiet time without adding any extra pressure.

And Billie played that gig on new year's eve full of great covers, so he's had a lot of practice! Just imagine they'd play My Generation, Outsider, Bastards of Young, I Fought the Law and Working Class Hero Throw in some Rolling Stones, Beatles, Queen and Elvis and it'd be perfect!
Guest Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I booked my flight last night lol. Thanks to CES, my options were limited, so I'm flying down the day before, and I booked a hotel down the street from the venue, so I can scope it out the day before lol

Oh my god, if they covered Working Class Hero again, I think I'd actually cry of happiness.Ā I'm not even a huge fan of the song, I just love the GD version so much.

sara_gd Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 How likely do you think it is that this is Green Day? I'm thinking BJ playing covers with some other people is more likely..... "A cover band that takes no requests". I'm also afraid about tickets. I'm seriously considering this Ā
straighttohell Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 i would put my money on this being billie and his friends playing covers for fun. essentially the same thing that he did on new years in nyc. though this probably wont be the same line up as the nyc show, just billie recruiting friends to play ramones, plimsouls, tom petty,Ā replacements, cheap trick, etc. thats my best guess. if they're reading this for some reason, come play down in LA or orange county sometime! id be stoked to see this...

I love that song especially their version of it. If I saw that live, i'd dieĀ Ā Especially how they do the song, and then have John finish the last verse, it kills me. (in the best way possible) Now, if they managed to do THAT on stage, I'd be hella impressed.

I think thereās a good chance Joey and/or Jakob could be involved, but thatās a total guess.Ā
pacejunkie punk Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Iām thinking thereās at least an even chance that itās Green Day. Holidays are over, they have to be back to having band practice by now at a minimum. It could be something they talked about doing and agreed it would be fun. Secret shows are a Green Day thing and they did do a covers set together at the Christmas party so New Years isnāt the only precedent for this.Ā

Joe. Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Could be a similar thing to Foo Fighters' 'Chevy Metal' civet band they play in to keep themselves ticking over

pacejunkie punk Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Well Bill Schneider just posted there saying Ā āI love you all as well but Iām not sure what your expecting. This is my cover band? Please come and support local music.ā But his band is Dead Sound (itās on his account) so unless they are both his bands and the account was Billās to begin with...
