La's Letterbomb Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I didn't even know people were skeptical about it being Joey, I'm sure it is. I thought is was official as it can be by just reading the tweets. I don't see the need in him having an 'official announcement' kind of thing because he isn't really Joey anyway on that account he's Rocky.
Annie, get your gun Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Thet have 'private' instagram accounts too? I didn't know that...
DannyDirnt Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 If those dumb people make Mike stop using Instagram I'm gonna be really angry. Let the poor guy alone!!
spark in the night Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The only thing that we can do is report the comments. On your Iphone, if you swipe the comment you can tap an icon that will report the comment as spam/abuse.

I don't see the need in him having an 'official announcement' kind of thing because he isn't really Joey anyway on that account he's Rocky. I just spent way too much time reading a lot of those tweets. Nothing there seemed like anything a very astute fan couldn't write. I guess it just doesn't make sense why Rocky likes to talk to Green Day fans primarily with almost no mention of his own projects. You're telling me he has an alter-ego just to talk to Green Day fans?
Amydc Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Well, I don't see why Billie would be upset about girls getting horny over him, I mean, he touches himself on stage and say stuff like "Somebody fuck me", for gods sake he kisses girls on the stage, OF COURSE girls are going to find him hot and say stuff like this. And about the haters, I'm pretty sure they're used to it. Oh and this Rocky account, they say those pics were on Joey's old instagram, I don't know, I don't really care to be honest.
pdx2ord Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Well said and I totally agree. No offense to the young kids here, but you can tell that many of the inane comments being posted are by teenagers....I bet there parents are oh so proud. If I ever caught my kid posting tripe like that, I'd break his fingers...well, take away his net time anyways...LoL Maybe Andres and co. can get a message to their management on behalf of their most active fan site thanking them for the unprecedented openness. Something to the effect of: if they are able to ignore the haters, psychos, and young 'uns not yet in complete control of their emotions and hormones, the other fans appreciate this glimpse behind-the-scenes and into them as individuals more than they will ever realize. That insight ultimately, I'm sure, gives all of us a deeper appreciation of their art and what they do to bring it to us.

I guess it just doesn't make sense why Rocky likes to talk to Green Day fans primarily with almost no mention of his own projects. You're telling me he has an alter-ego just to talk to Green Day fans? He does mention Emily's Army on there sometimes, and maybe he made the account has a joke and then actually started to get to know fans and liked talking to them? He is pretending to be the family dog, it isn't suppose to obviously be him. A lot of the time I don't believe these accounts that claim to be someone, fakes are everywhere, just something about this just seems real, to me, anyway. It seems like a lot of bloody effort to make a fake account and make those fake notes and texts and search for these private pictures just to say 'Gotcha, I lied' at the end of it all. I'm just going to be more careful quoting what the account says now that I know that some people doubt it and we're not all 100% sure it is him.
Pieces of Truth Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I wish they'd read this few last pages of this thread to see there are fans not getting "too horny" and "Oh my gaaawwwd, Billie u look so hawt, I ♥ u, say hi plzz!!!" and actually appreciate this little glimpses of their lifes.
sara_gd Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I still haven't understood this Instagram thing and I'm not really getting everything you're talking about, but I've just seen this on the coments: "drinking game: go through the comments and take a shot every time someone asks green day to come to their country"
kelly42fox Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Wait there hasn't even been that many hate comments right? I haven't seen any and I'm a little surprised it'd effect them in that way, they've seen it all before. I'm still unsure if Rocky is even joey :/ plus rocky didnt tweet any of that till after mike's comment Rocky is the Armstrong guys. Mostly Joey, tho. I know because we've actually talked to him about it. EDIT: At an Emily's Army show.
farley drexel hatcher Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Rocky is the Armstrong guys. Mostly Joey, tho. I know because we've actually talked to him about it. To Joey personally? Well whatever, I still think the whole situation is weird. If it is him then it's even creepier in my opinion. But I do have my reasons for being skeptical and no offense but anyone can say they've spoken to him and he's told them yes, it's him. BUT i would stand corrected if there's ever proof i'm wrong.
icyfire34 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I will be so fucking irate if they stop using instagram because of a bunch of fucking stupid ass people. I will be so angry. I enjoy these photos. I enjoy them connecting to us this way. I will just blow up if they stop it. They pretty much don't use twitter anymore either. We are the best fans of any band, but we sure do have a lot of idiots. i totally agree, their instagram makes me so happy!!
desertrose Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 No, I mean real proof. Like a picture of Joey with the username or something public. https://twitter.com/sr_joe8 he posted this on his youtube feed oh and I noticed there is a twitter @JoeyMArmstrong that is fake my only twitter is @sr_joe8
Fuzz Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 https://twitter.com/sr_joe8 he posted this on his youtube feed oh and I noticed there is a twitter @JoeyMArmstrong that is fake my only twitter is @sr_joe8 Now that one makes sense. I see that Emily's Army is following sr_joe8.
Heather. Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm sorry but there's no way in hell the Rocky account is anyone but a fan. To think it's Joey or anyone in their family is as ridiculous as the whole thinking Joseph Kingston is Billie thing. It's almost insulting to Joey to think he'd be that lame as to spend every second of every day tweeting like that. He's got a real twitter that he announced in interviews with Emily's Army, he's got a real Instagram that's private and a real Facebook I'm sure, and none of these are for him to interact with fans. It's impressive that whoever runs it has so successfully stalked and amassed enough 'evidence' to make people think it's him. Anyone could be, and is, stealing whatever 'pictures' from other places online. Anyway, does ANYONE have an explanation for all those dead animals at baggage claim? Seriously, Tre.
fiercecircus Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 FWIW, i asked Joey about the Rocky account at a EA show this summer and he said it was fake. WHICH SUCKED because whoever runs that account pulled a huge prank on me once and i had believed it was Joey so i wanted to bust on him about it! Alas. Joey was nice about it, at least.

gdpony Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I think it's really easy to tell that the accounts are fake. I actually don't believe it's the guys or anyone close to them until there's official proof it's them.
**nobodylikesyou** Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Rocky is the Armstrong guys. Mostly Joey, tho. I know because we've actually talked to him about it. EDIT: At an Emily's Army show.

kelly42fox Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 so you both talked to Joey about it and each got different answers? Yeah... I guess he's possible he was fucking with my friends or being sarcastic... (I wasn't actually the one who asked, but I was standing right there). Honestly, I don't care either way...
