amy_runs Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 WTF NOOOO!! Wrong thread though I know it's the wrong thread, but I thought it might have something to do with BJ's treatment...
spark in the night 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?!??!!?! I dont know how to interpret this
tvrman Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 (I have not read the whole thread) Wow, this is a shock. Let us be positive... I suggest that rather than Billie 'taking something excessively for a period of time' that he just got badly wasted in Vegas. Nothing in any interview or performance prior to this (in recent memory) gives any indication to me of any problem. So as damage limitation, for PR purposes and because his miissus has given him an earful he is going into rehab to dry out and then come back as his usual self.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love 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. 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. People are just giving reasons why it's not a complete surprise. I noticed him going sidestage at MG much more than at other shows I've been to, which is why I noticed it in the first place. When I saw that I didn't think "oh he must have an alcohol problem" nor was I surprised, I just thought "well he's sure having a lot of drinks", and when I hear this now I think back to that and am like well okay that's that. It's not at all weird that people are looking for signs when they hear this kind of news about someone they care about in one way or another. Especially when it's not an out of the blue unexpected thing. And sometimes those "signs" may be far fetched, like that trilogy thing. Mike just posted a picture of himself on instagram with the caption "Signing off!!! XX" Is the instagram thing over? WHat's happening?!??!!?! OH NO WHAT EVER SHALL WE DO
Milo Goes To Pasalacqua Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Well shite. Just came across the news there now. I heard the clip of Billie berserking re:Usher on the radio on the drive home today and thought: "That's my Billie Joe!" Hearing this though kinda makes it not so...funny. I'm going to have to check YT for a vid now, this makes it sound really off the wall, I haven't seen it for myself yet. I'm actually scared for Billie. Cos let's face it: Billie was often one prone to drink copious amounts of alcohol. Dunno if that would really cause such a freak out though, it must surely be something else... Either way, this is serious. Hope he is back on his feet soon. Could this have anything to do to his recent stint in hospital re:stomach pains?
gerardsangel4977 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Okay, so.....I don't know what hust happened, but the quotes that were in my multi-quote thing just completely disappeared when I clicked 'post" Oh well....Color me not surprised that the first official postponement we've heard about is a radio event
Micky Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 aaahh I thought something was missing: here comes the "he disappointed me" crap.
Dori_Epiphone 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?!??!!?! Can this mean he want´s to leave the Band?! no or?
Malleus Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Can this mean he want´s to leave the Band?! no or? ...
porksoda Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Can this mean he want´s to leave the Band?! no or? I doubt it. I'm sure it just means no more instagram.
Four. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 OMG you idiots, now you've started reading into Mike's INSTAGRAM posts?! FFS. I'M signing off. Wonder what that means, eh?
blitzkriegdeb Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Can this mean he want´s to leave the Band?! no or? No, more than likely he's either getting rid of his Instagram or he's making a pun about going on a flight or something.
Four. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Or he's just literally singing off of instagram.
Dori_Epiphone Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Well That really sucked from you Mike
PunkRocks and Coke Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 No, more than likely he's either getting rid of his Instagram or he's making a pun about going on a flight or something. it looked like he was on a plane so that's what I thought.
Homero Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 where is that picture of Mike saying that? I can't find it nevermind i found it
Malleus Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Or he's just literally singing off of instagram. This is Green Day Community. Nothing is literal.
Heather. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Maybe just means Green Day is currently not doing anything "signing off" until Billie gets well.
Nele Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Can this mean he want´s to leave the Band?! no or? Yeah sure and he's telling us over INSTAGRAM!
Dori_Epiphone Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 where is that picture of Mike saying that? I can't find it http://www.greenday.com/photo/signing-xx-71131
Four. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Well That really sucked from you Mike Sucks he's taking a break from the Internet? Maybe you should do the same. This is Green Day Community. Nothing is literal. Dun dun. Huge metaphor going on with me.
BJA TC MD Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I wake up in the morning and the first thing my mum does is tell me what happened. I'm glad he's getting help if it is something really serious. I'm personally not surprised he was on something after watching what happened at iheartradio. I just hope he gets better <3
Batgirl Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm still in shock. Although I am very sad Billie is going through this I admire his will to go to rehab. One of my friends got really mad when she found out, but I think we shouldn't judge him. We don't know his life, what he feels or what he's going through. At least he's going to rehab. I support Billie and I know he will be alright. This is just one down, and in life there is always ups and downs. Billie will get through this.
Gail69 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Well That really sucked from you Mike What fucking planet are you on?
Vonnie Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Hey ho, well hopefully BJ will get the help he needs and come to realise he's not 18 anymore. He needs to calm the party lifestyle just a little...can't rock like a teenager all your life - not if you want to be around to see your kids grow up. Stay clear of the drugs kids. And everyone else posting on here? Don't panic - it doesn't mean the end of GD, just a slight hiccup along the road. Time to settle down and wait for them to start touring again - when they're ready. x
