He is a musician but currently works as a piercer. Here’s his profile: https://instagram.com/max_dunn?igshid=wdyzbamlw96 Ah, thanks! Must have seen him at a Prima Donna concert. Yeah, I also saw everyone from Dead Sound there as well. At the end, I saw Mack was drinking at the bar, and Bill Schneider filled a beer glass full of chicken tenders from the public food platter to go eat backstage. I would have copied him, but I didn't have a glass on me, lol. They were good! 😛 Edited January 1, 2020 by Admiral_Needa 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went all out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went all out. Yeah, I forgot to take a picture of the snack platters... Chicken tenders, quiche, deviled eggs, etc. They also refilled the platters up to 1am! I didn't eat much, but fortunately for me, I got the ticket for at the Friends and Family price of $50, but then again, I missed out on the champagne pouring... I should have brought my own champagne flute! 😛 Yeah, I was lucky to catch the timing of the show announcement. And for some reason, I was still able to access the event page after it was password locked, so I offered several fellow friends/fans to buy their tickets on my computer using their credit card and it worked! 🥳 Good times! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the pop punk monster has become a chore for him? Was bringing Kevin in a way to inject some more fun and energy into his main gig, the kind he seems to still have with The Longshot? Maybe this always was the case because of the pressures that come with Green Day, but it never showed as much before. He, Mike and Tre always seemed to be having fun. Now they often seem bored or going through the motions. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it's about how much more pressure, criticism and marketing stuff he (they) have to deal with Green Day that makes it more of a chore, with the side projects it's less serious, more of a hobby opposed to work, I think it's normal to enjoy that a bit more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the pop punk monster has become a chore for him? Was bringing Kevin in a way to inject some more fun and energy into his main gig, the kind he seems to still have with The Longshot? I kind of feel like it could be what happened. Billie seems to be enjoying playing the small shows immensely and it seems he tries to transfer some of that into Green Day. I don't think it's a coincidence that FOAM sounds so much like FBHT/Longshot and that the Green Day shows have more of a Foxies vibe these days. Bringing Kevin in might be a part of it too. To me it seems that after 21CB and at the latest, the Trilogy, he hasn't had the same kind of ambition as before. I don't mean that bad way, but the stuff he's done this decade isn't aiming for the next big thing. It's more about making music for fun even if it isn't groundbreaking. And that's great and enough to build a band on, but it's not the same with a band with such a big history and expectations tied to it. And moreover Green Day is his job. It's not the same as 9 to 5 in an open space, but maybe the business side of it is a bit of a drag. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and I had amended my earlier post to make that point too, but that has always been the case yet this is a mood I’m only noticing recently like since RevRad. So is it getting harder to even pretend it’s fun or is it really becoming less fun? 8 minutes ago, Little Boy Named Airplane said: The tour haven't started yet.

Can’t be much fun for them to have to wait that long to do the one thing they love most. Anyway, try not to be alarmed, I’m just thinking out loud. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went all out. This sounds like a better deal than the vip tickets for the revrad tour 😂 And in regards to the small venue thing, I do agree that Billie seems to be having fun with it. After the Longshot tour in 2018 I thought maybe green day wanted to start playing smaller venues but nope, they're doing a hella mega stadium tour. After seeing the Longshot play a club I really don't have much interest in going to a stadium show, especially if they're gunna play the same set every night with no deep cuts. I was hoping for a run of theater shows like they did with revrad but it's not gunna happen 🙁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted January 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2020 They looked dead inside in the Trilogy days, now the performances seem less enthusiastic than during Revrad era, but the band is tight and sounds awesome. Can't really draw any conclusions, I'd say. This would be an interesting question to ask and get a honest answer for. I'd really like to know what's the motivation behind what Billie is doing. Is there a bit of laziness or a lack of more profound ideas? Does he feel accomplished enough and is now just having fun? Was there a major change of mind after 21cb when it seemed like they were heading in a completely different direction than they later took? I would really like to know what reasoning is behind his creative choices. 3 minutes ago, Maddie86 said: This sounds like a better deal than the vip tickets for the revrad tour 😂 And in regards to the small venue thing, I do agree that Billie seems to be having fun with it.

To have only stadiums was one letdown, the year long wait was another. I’m still holding out for something else, but I had to plunk down hundreds of dollars in the meantime to get to at least one show this year. 2 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: They looked dead inside in the Trilogy days, now the performances seem less enthusiastic than during Revrad era, but the band is tight and sounds awesome.

Tubbie Head Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Why do you guys think Green Day are only going to do a stadium tour? I think they could still do a lot of smaller club shows worldwide. I mean they did that surprise Madrid show... I can see them doing more of those! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Joes Eyelids Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Verycool99 said: Petition to postpone the hella mega tour for a worldwide longshot club tour With snack platters About a possible club tour for Green Day. Someone may have brought this up before, but some people are speculating that his weird IG account caption “Chicken Lettuce Under Bacon” is a clue that they’ll be announcing one. Maybe be a stretch, but I can t think of a single other reason for that caption. And if he was just being ridiculous why is it still there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
