Favorite Billie Joe Rants

[Thisnamehasnoreason]

Long time no see GD Fam!

I hope all of you are doing swell! I'm working on making a workout hype playlist and wanted to slip in some of Bills best rants for the purpose of motivation. It would be pretty dope to see some people drop links to some memorable Billie rants over the years!

Thanks for any contribution.

I've just watch that video this morning and I think it belongs to this thread.

I can't wait to see how this thread will evolve 'cause I love BJ motivational rant

This one motivated me to get on my big wheel... No wait, my bicycle. Or was it my scooter? Maybe my Tonka Truck? 

Anyway I went down to the strip and smashed it up against a window. 

Ended up with a pet rock. Worrying.

I had the honor of seeing this speech in person (my first green Day show!) and it felt so special. Not only was it the first show of the 99 Rev tour, it was right after Billie's stint in rehab and you could just feel all the love. He looked so touched that the fans waited for him and supported him during a rough time. I often think back to this moment when I'm feeling down.

I remember when me and a bunch of other GDC folk did a watch party of this and decided to play a drinking game. Take a shot every time Billie curses. We didn't last 5 minutes

Was that on GDC? I remember a thread where a bunch of us were somewhere between shock, horror and hilarity during that rant.

In retrospect, he really wasn’t wrong. Usher ignored his set timer and just kept going, and GD was held to their original end time. I’d have been pissed too…although I might not have been drunk and high on Xanax during my set in front of millions of people. All the same, fuck Usher for playing so long that GD lost over half of their time.

I remember that like it was yesterday, haha! We really have to do something like that again!

Though preferably a drinking game that doesn't risk alcohol poisoning.

Nah, this was on Discord. Although, personally. I'd be totally happy if we invited more people.

@Yosuke Hanamura didn't you make the smart choice and had a pop to sip on?

That I did, since I'm not an alcohol kinda guy.

I don't mind actually drinking at some point when we do it again, but I'd have to find an alcoholic drink that suits my tastes. My only real experience (at the recommendation of a friend) was Coors Light. Blech.

I instantly thought of this nsfw one (sorry )

Just want to add this from the same show

Generally not a fan of the whole iheart incident and how people seem to laugh and enjoy that. Billie was struggling so bad and it's sad to see how that ended up.

Not so much a motivational rant but this livestream always makes me laugh: 😂

This is my favourite thing ever I had to force myself not to post it  

[jengd]

I always forget the big smile and “have a pleasant day” at the end of that 😂😂

"Having fun with my friends. If you don't like shut the fuck up okay? Stop being such a whiner." 😂

[sergiewoo]

i have no idea if this counts... but i liked the play at the start, it's pretty funny

You beat me to it.   Legend has it that if they had let him cook, Green Day would have played for 10 hours - and NO old songs Haha

Do we actually know what the setlist was supposed to be?   I wonder what Billie was thinking of playing.

According to „Welcome to my panic“ he desperately tried to think of a perfect setlist for the show but didn’t succeed. So he went to the bar and began to drink…
