Bro I promise you, it was right as The Beach Boys were getting back together and He posted a picture with Brian and the caption “you’re fuckin’ nuts.” Why would I make that up? Why is it hard to believe he’s a prick sometimes? He attacked the Gangnam style guy for no reason either sooo…
 

Dude scrubbed his profile after it came out his son sucks. Idk what more to say about that one.

Nope, he scrubbed his profile when the network “took over”. It was part of the shtick for money money 2020, after the joey stuff. 
plus I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone to wonder the context of something, no one is saying you’re lying, chill

Mate, that’s literally how it happened - you’ve just kicked off moaning about not being believed and you’re literally doing the same thing. We were all there, I vividly remember it happening, don’t have to convince myself anything - “fink” took over the account, deleted a bunch of stuff, and only posted network content. Once that mini era was over Billie deactivated it for a long time. 

I mean I literally have screenshots 🤣

No I believe it I just want to find out the context of why he said it because it's weird lol. Gangnam Style makes sense because he was just saying it's shitty music. 

Btw this cover is amazing! His voice suits 60s music so well

What I remember is, there wasn’t a reason for it. Brian had helped someone I know in rehab during the Landy years and  was very respected by someone I’m very close to, and had been in our paper. I think it was even that day BJA posted the same picture with “you’re fucking nuts” which became a huge topic of conversation and subsequently killed the trilogy roll out for me. 
 

wasn’t a weird picture or article, and if I had a 12/13 year old screenshot of it, I’d certainly post it here. Still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and was completely uncalled for. Cool Billie posted the cover I guess but man that dude bugs me as a person routinely.

He‘s only human after all, and known to be impulsive. For me he needn’t be perfect…

Edit: Psy thing was on his Instagram so if he said it was probably there. I'm trying to check the old GD Instagram thread but it takes forever to load

Edit again: oh the link to the pre-2014 thread doesn't work so maybe it no longer exists . That thread would be the best bet to find it

This dude is the herpes of music. Once you think it's gone, it comes back.

Psy even reacted to it.

I've always been amazed at  the Beach Boys vocal humanizes, and their abilities to hit those high notes.

Billie Joe's cover version, like many Billie Joe/GD covers, is imho, better than the original. And again Billie Joe's ability to also hit those high notes reconfirms what an amazing voice he has and it is as strong and clear as ever.

I remember the discussions concerning his voice in FOAM album songs, where he used the falsetto vocal technique. Would Billie Joe have used this technique also for this song or not?

Billie can be impulsive and say things that is rude 

Brian has also talked rude about people as well 

Everyone has it’s human nature

Oh yeah I know the Psy thing, trying to find the Brian Wilson thing. I think with the old GD Instagram thread not viewable on here I won't though as it's not notable enough to have news articles or Reddit threads

There must have been some reason though even if it wasn't justified. Like in what way was he nuts? That's what I'm confused by. But if it was trilogy time he was going through stuff so who knows.

[WhiteTim]

Only thing I remember of Brian around the trilogy time was it was around the same time Brian reunited with The Beach Boys to do that tour and album and Brian was still insulting Beach Boys on twitter but Brian’s always made it known he only does Beach Boys stuff when the money is needed so nothing “fucking nuts” on that front 

 

edit 

people are also allowed to change their opinions and stances on people look at the song Platypus about that magazine editor Tim whatever his last name is that is a hate filled song but Billie has said some nice words about him a few years ago

Can someone change the title from "BIllie's" to "Billie's," as a journalist, it bothers me lol  .
