Katarina. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Why would someone dissapoint him? Because he's human and not a godlike person they thought he was? I don't know. I don't get any of this. I'm glad Billie will get treatment for this. It takes courage to do that. I'm the total opposite of disappointed. I'm not going to read this thread since it's probably filled with speculation. I'll just see whenever there's news about it and until then.. nothing. I wish him and the rest of the band the best and I'll continue blasting ¡Uno! from my stereo.
Malleus Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Looks like Billie's really... *puts on sunglasses* let himself go to rehab and get help because this is serious and I wish him the best.
Batgirl Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Lol chill out, I'm just paraphrasing this whole thread in one sentence. I know I'm just saying, in general

drugstore hooligan Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 this thread is k-razy. Wishing Billie joe all the best.
Stefano Bras Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 BILLIE, ALL GDC USERS SUPPORT YOU. STAY FUCKING STRONG.
Isabel Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Don't even know how to feel about it, to be honest. My friend texted me and said 'Hope you're ok!' and my first thought was 'He's not dead or anything!' but at the same time, it would be flippant to just say 'Ah he'll be grand.' Really hope that he can get all the help he needs.
Wolfdemon Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I hope he gets the help he needs and this doesn't cause the upcoming tour to be canceled
alaniluau Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 When people say they're "disappointed" I think they're just mangling their ideas. They're saying it's disappointing to see Billie at the point he reached Friday night, not that they're disappointed in him for getting help. Treatment is the best case scenario, so I'm proud of him.
Heather. Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 One thing is for sure... Mike and Tre are his friends, and while they've probably had their share of band drama with Billie acting unprofessional of late or whatever (just as Mike and Tre have over the years), they're not going to abandon their friend. I'm sure the band is upset that the timing is so poor, but this is something they're going to deal with as a band family and hopefully in good time, all will be well. I have faith that they'll be out on tour. Someone did make an interesting point about the challenge for Billie to write and now sing and promote all these party-hard songs and try to curtail his own partying at the same time. It's a catch-22 really. Maybe the only option is for him to exclusively sing the songs on Tre
Bittersweet Migraine Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 This entire situation is a massive clusterfuck.
Clean Cut Asshole Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 This came outta nowhere. And to anybody who's said it, I doubt this is gonna be a James Hetfield thing where he's gone for 9 months. Honestly, people make a big deal outta doing drugs and stuff, but as long as he gets help and he doesn't like kill people for drug money, it's not a really big deal. All we can do is hope Billie gets better.
A song for the lovers Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Billie you have our support and love!!
xburnoutx Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Just waiting to hear what Mike says in response to the fax Andres sent him. If this is true, I hope Billie takes his time with his recovery and puts his health first. Tour dates and promotional duties can fucking wait. I hope Adie, Joey and Jake are all right, too, and of course Mike and Tre. Anyone that thinks Mike would walk away from him must be mad...
A song for the lovers Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Why there are rumors that the band will split up?
Mandy_PunkRock Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I don't know what to say...I'm feeling terrible right now. That shocked me I love Billie Joe so much. I'm even starting to cry. Anyways I'm sure that he will recover soon, he's a strong man. I'm glad about he's getting a rehab. He is aware that he needs help. All my thoughts are with Adie, Joey and Jakob Hope you get well soon, Billie. I'm giving all my support to you
Wobbie Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I think its all bullshit. I think (if he's actually going to treatment at all) he's only doing it for legal reasons. Saying you have a substance problem is generally a sure-fire way of getting out of law-suits with as little damage as possible. I also think you would have a VERY difficult job writing and recording 3 albums in such a short time and having such a busy schedule as him as an active alcoholic.
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 What's this about Bill Schneider leaving the band?!? Where did this come from?

Saying you have a substance problem is generally a sure-fire way of getting out of law-suits with as little damage as possible. He didn't break any laws though. The material he destroyed was his own property.
WorryRock02 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Why there are rumors that the band will split up? because people are stupid...they find a 'Big New' and than the media o stupid person make this big new bigger and bigger and bigger
nimrod07 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 First...my apologies if this is redundant...but I'm not reading through 18 pages I watched the video...I saw nothing that bad. Although they aren't considered a punk band...I think it was a punk attitude that he had. But...I could be wrong...my opinion. I just don't see any out of the norm behavior. Hell...what about Mike...didn't he smash his bass too? (at least that's what I thought I saw).
Clean Cut Asshole Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 What's this about Bill Schneider leaving the band?!? Where did this come from? What? How can Bill Schneider leave if he wasn't in the band in the first place?
Tashidge Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Billie Joe's done the hard part; admitting that there is a problem which needs to be dealt with and taking those steps to get himself sorted. At the moment, tours, promotional shows, and the album release all seem a little irrelevant. The main priority is the well being of not only Billie, but also of his family, Mike, and Tré. The least we as fans can do, is support all those involved to the best of our abilities, the same as their music has supported us.
Batgirl Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Why there are rumors that the band will split up? Because people over-analyze everything.
