Breakdown_EE Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 To put it short: Remember GD's performance in Las Vegas on the iHeart Radio fest? Yep, so Billie took too much alcohol/drugs (we don't know which (or maybe even both)) and now he's in the hospital! just to clear it: it is not like he is in hospital because of an overdose. He propably went to an Reha Center (ore something like that) because he has an addiction. The iHeart Festival meltdown maybe was the trigger point for him (or who wever decided him to make that reha) to say that he has a problem that should be fixed. Thas how i see it
spark in the night Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I still don't understand... Was it because of the freakout? Was it the band or 80? So much confusion. It might have been building up over time and Vegas was the last straw..the tipping point. And they won't play till he finished rehab? Or they will play anyway? they will have a Billie Joe hologram.
pucky Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Somehow, since I first heard of the trilogy thing, I started to have the feeling that this might be the last era of Green Day. Like, there's nothing left for them to do, no challenges (talking about the music). This kind of makes that sensation to take more roots in my brain. I hope I'm wrong...
PaulS Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Ahhhh man I wish I can just jump to Dos! release date because this is gonna get depressing. It's gonna be a week or two or maybe longer of people saying "I just knew something was wrong with him, I couldn't tell, but I knew something was wrong" .. This. All the retrospective analysis is pointless. You didn't see anything in his eyes at Shepherds Bush. He probably wasn't wasted on meth at whatever show you went to and enjoyed. He's been 'going to the side of the stage for something' for the last 20 years, just like every other musician who ever lived. Not every song he wrote about booze was a plea for help. He didn't need to be a drug addict to empathise with Amy Winehouse. No, the trilogy probably isn't a concept based on his substance abuse problems. Or is it? Dun, dun, duuuunnnnn.
farley drexel hatcher Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 And they won't play till he finished rehab? Or they will play anyway? He won't doing anything while he's in there, kind of the point of it.
Homero Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Ok, I'm going to stop reading this thread, I got tired of people speculating of what's going to happen. When it's stuff like this, I think you just have to support them and hope the best for them. I think sometimes we overthink too much about every thing that happens to Green Day. Anyway, I hope he gets the help that he needs!
Chris_Kr93s Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I really hope its nothing toooooo serious and BJ get well soon! I hope we get a vid of Mike and Tre soon.. or maybe even BJ! this is just killing me
MidnightMuffin Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 At least he is getting the help he needs. The speculation and media-shitstorm is just something that is bound to happen with a band that has hit the caliber Green Day has. Does it really matter if its drugs or alcohol? He has a problem. He needs help and he is getting it. I am hoping for some epic songwriting to come out of this also. We love you, Billie. #armSTRONG
solongfromthestars Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 This. All the retrospective analysis is pointless. You didn't see anything in his eyes at Shepherds Bush.

I wish I could rep you 10 times for that.
karma1215 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I hope this doesn't mean the cancellation of any dates. As much as I don't want that to happen... I have to be a little considerate of his ability to seek the treatment he needs to get better....there's a reason now why he was saying at concerts : "We're all alive....he kept saying it over and over again.... maybe this was his call for help we just never know.
greendaygal89 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Whether it be drink or drugs, a misuse of either isn't good. People who are basically saying I hope it's alcohol rather than drugs are just pathetic and need to live in the real word
Smoothed Out Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I have to say, I genuinely don't know what to say. I guess, I just wish Billie all the best. And I'm thinking of not just him but his family, Adie and the kids.
DannyDirnt Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Getting drunken a few times in the year is ok. Btw, drinking alcohol can be fun But it's no fun, when you drink it too often. And drugs are :thumbsdown: Yeah, I agree here
Nimrod2309 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I feel so sad right now :sad: . Slightly embarrassed that I was joking around with hubby last night that Billie was going to be having a intervention any day now. I just hope he is going to be ok.
Nele Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I think some people on here have no idea what it means to be an alcoholic.
DannyDirnt Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 they will have a Billie Joe hologram. Well, I didn't think he was on rehab 24/7

Like, there's nothing left for them to do, no challenges (talking about the music). This kind of makes that sensation to take more roots in my brain. I hope I'm wrong... Try to take solstice in this: making music is essentially ALL these guys know to do. It's what they grew up with, what they're lives are based around. I have the feeling that they won't go out that easily. They'll (hopefully) be that band that sticks around long into their lives. Basically, they wouldn't end Green Day that easily. They aren't the kind of guys who like to sit around and do nothing.
spacesauce Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Hope he gets the help he needs. Let's not speculate until more official statements are issued. There's too many questions right now, and obviously, the most important thing is that he's doing the right thing by getting help.
valeriesername Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I really hope he does recover from this soon. Much love, billie.
Dori_Epiphone Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I really hope he does recover from this soon. Much love, billie. you don´t really think he´s going to read this?
amy_runs Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Mike just posted a picture of himself on instagram with the caption "Signing off!!! XX" Is the instagram thing over? WHat's happening?!??!!?!
DannyDirnt Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Mike just posted a picture of himself on instagram with the caption "Signing off!!! XX" Is the instagram thing over? WHat's happening?!??!!?! WTF NOOOO!! Wrong thread though
Sarcasm Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 When Gerard Way (MCR) stopped drinking, the shows became better, then boring. Hope that won't happen to Green day :/

People who are basically saying I hope it's alcohol rather than drugs are just pathetic and need to live in the real word This. They are both extremely serious, and need to be dealt with as soon as possible. And like I said before, alcoholism usually snowballs into other things, so I really don't see how one is any better than the other. They both are bad for different reasons, but at the end of the day they both can lead to the same horrible things.
