Billie Joe interview in Maxim

[VanessaIsh]

I feel like this thread is dying.

So how bout them mets?

[-Billiejoezee-]

Oh..yeah. I hate that. I don't want to get sappy, but I can't help but think about him dying. I had a dream I went on GDA and it was in the news and I lost it. Not going to discuss it any further, aha.

SO. Article. Here we go.

I died laughing at the pissing in mouth, throwing up in the tub thing.

Thats all i think about too.

I just wish he quit smoking.

[Chelsea Hotel]

Thats all i think about too.

I just wish he quit smoking.

Yeah, me too. Whenever I see pictures of George Harrison with a cigarette it always hurts. I'm a George girl.

[Sarahnade.]

Thats all i think about too.

I just wish he quit smoking.

Yeah. I'd like to think he's tried to quit, but hasn't been able to do it. I'm sure he has. And Billie's a strong guy; a little fighter. I like to be optimistic and think he'll be fine for a long, long time. He seems fit and still has a bunch of energy. Billie's pretty fine, imo.

guys i know, like when all the celebs started dying in the summer, all i was think was "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." and i had multiple dreams of billie dying, and one where they all did.

[Chelsea Hotel]

guys i know, like when all the celebs started dying in the summer, all i was think was "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." and i had multiple dreams of billie dying, and one where they all did.

Yeah, in that one death-filled week, I was like, "Dammit, I got this one good thing going for me, if any of them die I don't know what I would do." And I wouldn't. It scares me.

[VanessaIsh]

Yeah. I'd like to think he's tried to quit, but hasn't been able to do it. I'm sure he has. And Billie's a strong guy; a little fighter. I like to be optimistic and think he'll be fine for a long, long time. He seems fit and still has a bunch of energy. Billie's pretty fine, imo.

I think he'll be fine.

My guitar teacher says that if I play guitar like he does, I'll blow out my shoulder and elbow by the time I'm his age.

His hasn't and he's been playing since 5 so yeah

Billie's invincible.

[Chelsea Hotel]

Billie's invincible.

He's got superpowers!

[!Viva La Analee!]

Yeah, in that one death-filled week, I was like, "Dammit, I got this one good thing going for me, if any of them die I don't know what I would do." And I wouldn't. It scares me.

I would flip shit. Not stop crying. My life would be over.

It really would. My friend kids around wih me about it, and one time she called me and told me Billie died, I didn't talk to her for a week. It was horrible.

[VanessaIsh]

He's got superpowers!

So it's actually Superman disguised as Clark Kent disguised as Billie Joe Armstrong?

[Chelsea Hotel]

I would flip shit. Not stop crying. My life would be over.

It really would. My friend kids around wih me about it, and one time she called me and told me Billie died, I didn't talk to her for a week. It was horrible.

I love them so much, I understand why people were so devastated when John Lennon and Kurt Cobain died. The only person who ever really understood you is gone, now what do you do?

If any of them died...I'd cry for a least a week. And then lash out when people tell me to get over it.

[!Viva La Analee!]

I love how this thread went from funny, to serious in a matter of seconds.

[-Billiejoezee-]

i've had dreams of billie dying. I think only of him because he's the oldest of all.

If Billie dies I don't know what I would do..

I mean billie's been with me since I was a little girl,he was the first guy i ever thought was cute,he helps me with my writing,i sing because of him. I think i'd loose myself....

I live because of him. He's the only one who works out my problems..

[!Viva La Analee!]

Dude me too. If I was alive when John Lennon died, I would've freaked out. I love him too.

But yeah, I would be in a depressive state of mind for so long.

[Sarahnade.]

Glad I'm not the only one that went crazy with worry and anxiety the few months when everyone was dying. Don't know if glad is the correct word - reassured, I guess. I thought I was being foolish for thinking of him as quickly as I did when everyone started passing.

Celebrities die in threes the say, but Billie has stated that he isn't a celebrity, so I believe he is an exclusion in those situations.

Yeah, I was flipping out that whole time. I like couldn't sleep at night.

And that's true, when he does die,(when he's MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH older) it won't be in threes, cuz he's not a celebrity.

[Chelsea Hotel]

Dude me too. If I was alive when John Lennon died, I would've freaked out. I love him too.

But yeah, I would be in a depressive state of mind for so long.

I've asked my parents about that, and they said it was one of the worst things that could have happened.

I love how this thread went from funny, to serious in a matter of seconds.

Cause we're cool like that.

[VanessaIsh]

isn't it funny how people quote and just say "this"

[Sarahnade.]

Lawl, I think I'm going to cry.

I'm the same, Josie. Billie was the first guy I ever had a crush on, the first guy I ever wanted to be like. I bought a guitar because of him. I started writing lyrics/stories because of him. I'll wake up in the morning, and one of my first thoughts will be, "I wonder if Billie's OK right now. If he's happy. If he's sleeping." And I try to calculate the time differernt of wherever GD are to try and figure out what they are doing. I'm officially pathetic.

[-Billiejoezee-]

I mean my friends don't understand why I care for him so much.

I mean if you were 7,and everyone at school had crushes,and you didn't,and somehoe you've NEVER thought a male was cute,you thought EVERYONE in the world was ugly,and all of a sudden you think billie is cute,wouldn't you care for him years later?

If he was the one who really evoked those girl feelings in you.

Dude,I PRAY to god to take care of billie every night.

I also pray for his family. and of course tre and mike.

[Chelsea Hotel]

Just knowing they're there is enough. Like, right now I know they're over in Europe on tour.

I mean my friends don't understand why I care for him so much.

I mean if you were 7,and everyone at school had crushes,and you didn't,and somehoe you've NEVER thought a male was cute,you thought EVERYONE in the world was ugly,and all of a sudden you think billie is cute,wouldn't you care for him years later?

Billie and Mike and Tre will ALWAYS have a special place in my black little heart. They're my boys!

I never had a "boyfriend" when I was super young. I thought that was stupid, even at that age. And I was just not interested in guys. I was just like, "Meh." I just didn't care. But Billie changed that. And so did Mike and Tre - I don't want to be biased. The entire band opened my eyes to the fact that not all guys were assholes. And guys could be talented, beautiful, and pleasant. And more importantly, kind and intelligent. They just changed everything.

[!Viva La Analee!]

I think I'm gonna start crying.

[-Billiejoezee-]

You know if I saw someone trying to shoot billie,i'd get in the way....

[Chelsea Hotel]

Yeah, same here. All the guys I knew were jocks/losers/assholes. But they gave me hope that someday I'd find somebody who wasn't a waste of time. Which I why I swear up and down that Adrienne is the luckiest woman in the world.
