How the fuck are we talking about abortion, republicans and liberals in a Green Day Kerrang thread? It's just another Manic Monday. I wish it were Sunday, cause that's my fun day. Also I legit think he's moving to U.K. part time bc of the recording process for the album, and is only saying it this way to stir shit up. (Which he has clearly done, looking at the other replies!)

Biddymc Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I think he is in the Uk for recording because he has a family member living there at least part time as well. And I know it is probably not ok to say this, but I think part of the reason he is pissed off at the US isn't political at all, I think it is because in the US, his family member got "cancelled", and even tho plenty of us feel it was warranted, in my opinion, I think the whole cancel culture and what happened, pisses Billie off. Any way, in short, I think he is there for personal reasons, and it works for him and his family. If this is totally inappropriate, mods can delete it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 He said years ago that Adrienne and he might move to New York semi permanently and that didn’t happen, yet anyway. I think his mind flits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now Joey is in London and he wants to move there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re both empty nesters, it’s hard to know where to settle until your kids are settled somewhere so that’s all it is 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 15 hours ago, Beerjeezus said: I’d dispute the notion that you need to be rich to be able to relocate. Most people who’ve done that that I’ve met have regular jobs that they either can do at a distance or they work in fields where they’re just fine without knowing the local language - stuff like graphic design, programming, writing, marketing, tutoring English, proofreading… Obviously moving costs something and you need to deal with some beraucracy, but once you do that, it’s not anything that fancy. You’d be paying rent at home too. If anything I’d say some people have moved up a class by doing this. I know a guy who got a degree and now he teaches high school English who was a truck driver back at home. Agreed. Living in America is not cheap. Not to mention wherever you move is likely to have a much better healthcare system than the U.S. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I feel like Billie mentioned something about wanting to move to the UK years ago too, but obviously that never happened. I agree with @jengd. I think Billie's got that kind of brain that wanders between ideas all the time, whether he acts on them or not. They're all over in Europe right now anyway because of recording and getting ready for the next tour leg, so that may be as "semi-permanent" as it gets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey's no more "cancelled" in the US than in the UK/anywhere. The only people he's "cancelled" by are his band's fans and some Green Day fans (the only people who've heard of him), and that's exactly the same whether they're fans from the US or UK. He married someone from the UK so naturally it makes sense that they might live here and therefore Billie also has a reason to want to go here (plus he's expressed that he likes the UK and would consider living here before anyway). It's not exactly an unusual choice of country for an American to consider moving to. It's odd that people think it's controversial or somehow wrong for someone to move to another country/live where they want lol. But he's probably not even serious about it anyway. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
