WhiteTim Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Billie still has casettes Just an iphone case
DannyDirnt Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I've officially renamed this picture as "Longview Pt 2" in my Green Day folder But he's not in in-patient rehab, so that's kind of irrelevant. He said so on IG in the description of a pic of his pj.
*withoutadoubt* Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 He said so on IG in the description of a pic of his pj. I think he said 'outpatient' on that pj pic on IG. I don't think myself, and of course I am not there, so I don't know for sure, but imho, I don't think that writing music is a 'job' to Billie Joe. I just think it's something that he has to do - when it wants to come out, it's gonna come out. His wheels are always turning - and there's a lotta stuff going on in that head of his. Didn't Mike say something like BJ had a bunch of radio stations on in his head at once, or something like that. I don't think a person like BJ can turn that off. I'm not saying that part of the song-writing and recording process isn't work, but I think his brain and his hands are gonna make music no matter what.
WhiteTim Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 What? Thats not a cassette next to Billie its an phone cover for his iphone the back has a design of a cassette
Annie, get your gun Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Thats not a cassette next to Billie its an phone cover for his iphone the back has a design of a cassette Oh... then it reaaaally imitates a cassette tape
mbk Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Thats not a cassette next to Billie its an phone cover for his iphone the back has a design of a cassette Do we know that for sure? It could be a cassette.
perfectpitchrob Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Perhaps it's Billie Joe's now famous Ipod that he used on Zane Lowe's show!
WhiteTim Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Do we know that for sure? It could be a cassette. Well its the SAME exact design as the iphone case it appers to be the size of an iphone which is longer than a cassette so i think it safe to say its his iphone... Im not sayin Billie couldnt have a cassette but doesnt look like it in the pic
DannyDirnt Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Clever, huh? Myghod I need that! but I have only a blackberry D:
Sarcasm Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Billie still has cassettes Pretty sure that's a fancy iPhone case^^
mbk Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I don't think he considers writing songs working. He loves to play music and he writes to pull the words and music that roam around in his head (constantly). Pretty sure he finds this relaxing. Recovering from addiction and from what in this case appears to also be emotional and physical exhaustion is hard work. I have no idea how Billie Joe is coping with it or what he might be doing -- he may well be writing songs -- but other creative people I have known who have been through something really difficult and are trying to come back from it don't engage themselves creatively. They just try to (have to!) remove any stressors, and even doing something pleasurable and normally satisfying is usually too much to try to engage with. I would love to imagine that Billie Joe is having a relaxing time at home, resting and regrouping, but it takes more than that to come back from a serious setback. I don't think any of us knows what he might be up to, and seeing a picture of him holding a guitar is no real indication. I wish him well, of course, and I will stop speculating now.
suicidexmakeover Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Seeing these little peaks into their lives is so lovely and I just hope he is doing whatever makes him feel better.
karma1215 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Shaved my head to show my support for Billie Joe Armstrong... naw its just cut super short. Love that couch!!!
DannyDirnt Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Instagram really feels like a little window where you can look into their lives sometimes.

Your response to my post shows the difference between us. I try to see the positive and you're going to the negative side of things. Two opinions without enough information by either. You could be right. Or not. We just don't know. However, to me, seeing him with a guitar is a pretty clear indication that he's playing music. Maybe not writing new songs, but maybe. Again, without enough information it's all speculation. Which by the standards of this thread is 97 pages worth.
Pieces of Truth Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Instagram really feels like a little window where you can look into their lives sometimes. They way you describe it it just sounds wrong and stalkerish Alsot that's not right because we "only" see the things they want us to see.
Heather. Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Instagram really feels like a little window where you can look into their lives sometimes. I think it's a mistake to think that's accurate. It's nice to see photos, but that's all they are. Billie's situation is a good example of us not knowing or being able to surmise a goddamn thing based on photos. We had no idea, and we still don't.
Tubbie Head Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I gotta say those iphone cases are awesome!
gerardsangel4977 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I think he said 'outpatient' on that pj pic on IG.

I'm not saying that part of the song-writing and recording process isn't work, but I think his brain and his hands are gonna make music no matter what. Yeah, I remember that interview. I also remember Mike saying something like "If you took music away from Billie, he'd just be an empty shell." And, more recently, I recall Billie saying that, when the band is in between albums/touring periods, he feels unemployed. A natural bummer, if ever there was one. Your response to my post shows the difference between us. I try to see the positive and you're going to the negative side of things. Two opinions without enough information by either.

Again, without enough information it's all speculation. Which by the standards of this thread is 97 pages worth. Exactly! We don't know enough about Billie or his current situation to even begin to say what is or is not a healthy part of his recovery, and one could easily make an argument either way. What *is* evident is that he clearly has access to his instruments (and his phone) and took one of his guitars out for some purpose, whether it was writing music or just playing for a bit or, perhaps, something even more mundane like tuning it (though, normally, tuning leads to playing). It doesn't seem very likely that he was just sitting there holding it like a security blanket.
spark in the night Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe he just wants to have the guitar in his lap. I know I would.
mankat13 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I have the same case for my Samsung Galaxy S lll.http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Cassette-Tape-Silicone-Case-Skin-Back-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-SIII-/280893662430
Sarcasm Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 one of the most popular cases in the world. I'm ending the iPhone casing talk here. Buy it here, apple fuckers
