Is Billie going to have a chat with David from Disturbed or nah?  I'd actually really love to hear Green Day sit down and talk politics.   For all the "politics" surrounding the band, they've never really dwelled, focused or discussed it at length.      and I'm so over seeing these headlines about freaking out over Billie saying "maga agenda" or "JD Vance".     That's it, he's been mildly dissing Republicans for 25 years.   Green Day, despite some lines on Forever Now, have as of 2025 - NOT started a revolution.       Where was I?   Oh, Dave from Disturbed.   I know nothing about any of this situation, and despite desperately trying to find an answer to "who's the good guys, who's the bad guys"  -  there doesn't seem to be a simple answer.

I really hope they talk. Since this has already blown up in the news (and they haven't even talked yet), it seems like it would be an even bigger deal if they actually do talk. It would be interesting to hear his side of things, and debates are often healthy; that is the whole point of opinion. If everyone had the same opinion about everything, the word "opinion" wouldn't exist. The concept of an opinion wouldn't exist either.

And then they could go into the studio together and record a song together, nay - an album!

I hope not.  It’s such a complex issue with so much emotion involved. If they did talk I think it would just become a media circus with no winners.

Wait, I'm lost. Who is this David person? Why would they discuss politics? And where is this blowing up in the news? I'm completely ignorant here

[That Dude]

copilot says this:

While there are rumors about potential projects in the works, including a possible back-to-roots album and a world tour in 2026, nothing has been officially confirmed. Fans speculate that the band might release another album around 2028, as they've followed a pattern of releasing albums every four years since the trilogy.

David is the vocalist from Disturbed, recently making news headlines for SIGNING the very bombs being used on the Palestinian people. He’s an avid supporter of Israel’s so-called “right to defend itself”.

We all know GD’s perspective on this, and as far as I’m concerned it’s not really worth discussion between the two as it’d be a waste of everyone’s time on top of the fact I don’t think they even know each other like that lol

Copilot says a lot of things that are often wrong 😛

Billie Joe Armstrong – lead vocals, guitar (1987–present); harmonica (1997–present);[317] keyboards (2008–present)

they totally do Walking Alone and Hold On enough for the harmonica bit to be justified

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong on the ‘American Idiot’ Film That Never Panned Out and What Led Him to Punk: ‘It Just Seemed Like It Was Music for Outcasts’

[Hermione]

My mum told me Mark Hoppus was on Something For the Weekend (UK Sunday morning tv show) yesterday to promote his book and was talking about Blink's "rivalry" with Green Day, and he compared it to the Beatles and Rolling Stones 

[That Dude]

1,881,413,741 streams in total for American Idiot on Spotify.   

 

[DookieLukie]

Spotify’s sorting is so poor. So many versions of the same song, and some album editions only appear in search of playlists but not on the artist page. What a mess.

Not sure if anyone posted here, but Dita Von Teese recently posted to IG about her appearance in the “Redundant” video!

“Fun fact, I was in a @greenday video in the 90’s. I arrived camera ready and in my own dress 💅 #greenday #coachella”

I actually didn’t know this myself and now I have another fun fact for the future haha

The Redundant music video is easily the best music video of the band! 

Here's another cool fun fact : it premiered on MTV Live on 17th April 1998!

I remember learning this years ago when I was obsessed with Dita Von Tease! I rushed and watched the video just to find her lol. Redundant has always been one of my fave songs and videos. I don't think it gets enough love!

[billy1986]

Redundant is easily a top 5 music video of Green Day’s the concept alone! I will never know why this song was not a hit single or why it isn’t a live staple. Perfection
