No Fun Mondays

[Florence]

I saw the video and was like !!!!!!  I cannot believe someone copied my drawing from 2013 and gave it to the GD members in person and now she gets credited for it and gets featured on a GD video? WILD. At first she was like "I have never seen your drawing before" and then today she gave me a credit under her drawing and admitted that she copied me... the whole situation kind of sucks. UGH. But what can I do.

EDIT:  and yes, Billie drew the OG Spazzy back then in 2013 (? or even a few years earlier but for some reason it became a meme in 2013) and asked fans to make art of it, I still have the graffiti Spazzy in my garage. omg great times. 💔

I mean. Maybe she didn't really know who drew it originally.. but it feels weird. omg 

I think because it was redrawn so many times it was hard to tell where the design originated. Didn’t Billie draw Spazzy first? Did you come up with Adrienne yourself? Everyone was copying Billie’s drawing. No doubt hers was taken from yours though.

I edited my post! @pacejunkie punk but I believe I was the first one to give him a second arm / hand . HA

I think I came up with the Adie Spazzy.

@Florence whatever the situation is, I think it’s fab and I hope you are really pleased that Billie clearly thinks it’s great and has used it, congratulations for your part in it.

The long anticipated announcement of Umbrella Academy season two just came out with a video of the cast in quarantine dancing to Tiffany’s version of ITWAN like they did in season one. I wonder if this will rekindle excitement in the song and give Billie’s version a bump.

I think these covers are a chance for Billie to do some stuff he'd never be able to do with Green Day, i like poppy Billie

Agreed!

"I spent my money buying new  blue guitars", excellent

Rock and Roll is definitely my favourite🥰

[The Grohl]

Finally listened to this one. I really like it! This is one of my favorites so far. Billie sounds so good here!

Just a quick update on the "Spazzygate2020":

The girl who copied the drawing messaged me, apologized and was genuinely sorry -she was actually super nice and even contacted a guy from the GD team (I assume he's handling their social media?? IDK) anyway, they removed her credit in the GD Instagram post 😱 

 

soooo.... as much as I appreciate that they feature fan art in the Monday cover videos....  for the next one can Billie just do a home video where he sits in his living room and plays guitar, maybe while wearing some fluffy slippers and Lenny tries to lick his face?? THANKS. FOR THE SAKE OF MY MENTAL HEALTH.  🤯

Randomly thought of the Eurythmics song When Tomorrow Comes and thought how great it would be to hear Billie cover that one.

Watching The Umbrella Academy and immediately thought of Green Day as they danced to "I Think We're Alone Now".

Now that California is starting to open up again I wonder if this is the last one we’ll get. The Struts who live in LA just aired their last Sunday Service today. 

[jengd]

Just thinking about that, hopefully he’ll tell us when it’s the last one and maybe give us an extra!

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

I guess today he could re-release “Now I wanna drink some bleach”. It premiered during the Joey Ramone birthday streaming, but the song is not available on any official channel at the moment. 

[jengd]

I was thinking he might go out with a Beatles song if he’s stopping soon. I’d love to hear him sing Yesterday.

Tomorrow comes today. Or does it?

I'm going to take a stab in the heart and say he will be covering......

"Anuerysm" from Nirvana.

I'd like to hear some vocals like that from Billie.

Not sure if he’s stopping when music isn’t coming back anytime soon in the US

No but if he can at least get to the studio and they can work in small groups they can shift focus to the album now
