BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 He seems to have vocally bumpier periods and other times he’s very solid. There could be other factors than just training and lack thereof. Vocal cords can easily become strained etc 4

GDFan2019 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Posted August 21, 2022 I don't think we'll be hearing vocals in any teasers. I remember reading an interview during the 21CB sessions and Billie said he keeps his lyrics closely guarded, even from Mike and Tré, early on in the process 1

From someone who hasn't been able to stop smoking myself when I see Billie smoking he looks like at some point he's been "serious smoker". Also if you're trying not to drink it's a good idea not to try to stop both together or you could be setting yourself up for a fall. It always surprises me when I see Mike with a cigarette these days 5

That is very surprising! Expand Yeah I've seen at least a couple pictures of him with a cigarette over the last few years. I think the last time was backstage in Seville (at the awards) . I know all three of them used to smoke (there's a photo in Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking where they have their ciggies (Marlborough) with them). Here's the photo. Actually Billie isn't smoking on it and there's no Marlborough but... 3 2

Popular Post BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Posted August 21, 2022 Something about that way of singing really fit with his spray tan. And I say that as someone who actually liked FOAM. 2 3
