Random Green Day Thoughts

[Montclare]

Matt Bellamy from Muse is also 5'7", and they both look to be the same height in this pic (Billie looks slightly taller, but that's because of the hat).  And both look ridiculously smaller than the other guys.

Q: How tall is Billie Joe Armstrong? 

A: It’s complicated.

Well as a I am nearly scraping 5’1” he’s tall to me 😂😂 I have a horrible feeling I am a good bit bulkier 😂😂

Same here, 5ft 1/2 inch here! And also wider.... Hey, we have to fit the same number of organs in to our ickle ribcages, so they have to be wider.... That's my story and I'm sticking to it 😂😂😂😂

Conclusion... Billie is the perfect height for me 👌

You are so right!  I’ve always said he’s the perfect height when some folk appear to be saying he is too small for them, I’ll take him 😉😉

@Montclare I think there are pics of BJ without the hat and he looks fractionally taller than Matt Bellamy, would need to see his feet though 😂😂.  He’s def taller than Tom Cruise, that’s a fact!

I just watched the episode of King of the Hill with Green Day in it and I don't think Billie had any speaking parts. I'm glad that they made Tre the lead character, his voice is pretty cartoony lol, but it's weird that Billie had no lines at all. So that got me wondering, for the music in the episode, did Billie drum and did Tre play guitar since he was the singer? hmm, the credits say "original songs by Green Day", so who knows? the credits also say "Billy Joe Armstrong"

The Tony Awards are airing now and it’s put me in the mood to watch Broadway Idiot.

I was lucky enough to get a pic with Billie in DC and I'm only 5'3" on a good day and he's no more than 3" taller than me in the pic so I'm pretty convinced he's 5'6". We were on an even surface and I don't think he leaned down at all. I'm not sure your source on Matt Bellamy but the internet lies, lol.

Whenever i pick up my guitar my guitar and play (just like yesterday!) , I always play "Good Riddance" as an encore.   It just feels like the right thing to do.  

And it sounds fantastic!   that's not me bragging, it's just so simple to play.  It takes four chords (Green Day are wrongfully known as '3 chord wonders' - they are FOUR CHORD WONDERS) but they are the 4 easiest chords to make.  

I just played in twice.

I'm the exact same height as you. Sounds accurate, I hope to one day also stand close enough to him to compare!

And this only emphasizes the fact that "I'm only about 5'8" is one of the funniest things Billie has ever said  

I got to stand right next to him. He's 5 7 I'm also 5 7

hmm he seemed shorter to me

[gaslight13]

I don’t like sharing photos of myself (so I'll probably delete this soon) but this is the best evidence I have regarding his height. We were on even ground and standing straight. I’m 5 feet 2.75 inches to be exact. If you look at where my eyes are compared to his, I don’t buy that that is 4.25 inches difference. Do you guys? Which is why I think he’s 5’6”.

^^^You can't really judge it by where his eyes are compared to yours though because it's unlikely that you'd have the same proportions as him so that judgement would be inaccurate.

[UNICORN VOMIT]

@gaslight13 yep that seems right - I didn't get a photo because I was too busy SHARTING myself.  Tre is even shorter.

A very random thought - I wonder when they will tour Japan.

I agree. Top of the head height definitely looks like a 4 1/4” difference.

[Hermione]

Don't forget the shoes variable. If he wears creepers it could add like 2 inches . Because he does wear thick soled shoes more often than not (not to mention the fluffed up hair) I tend to agree that 5'6 is more likely.

I recognized the place in the picture. That was in the hotel lobby in Toronto (well the one GD stayed at in August 2017). But I'm not going to tell you the hotel's name!

oh cool! When and where did you get to stand next to him? I've been within 10 feet of him twice, once when I was 14 and then a few weeks ago in Baltimore, there's definitely something special about being in his presence!

I remember in an interview from 98 he said he was 5'7", but I can't find the interview on youtube! It was from April or May, it was the night they played a show for MTV's Live at the 10 spot, a few hours before the show they debuted the Redundant video and did an interview with them on a rooftop. Maybe later I'll see if I can dig out my old vhs, I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere!

Well we both have big foreheads so I doubt it’d Be that off. You have to consider the height of his hair too. Comparing tops of heads is harder but I still don’t think there’s over 4” difference.

A friend of mine who is about his height has 5’8” on his license and I go around telling ppl I’m 5’3” when I’m really not. Short people lie 😏

At the Coney island baby longshot show a few weeks ago. I met him standing next to me backstage it was special. We made eye contact and I tapped him on the shoulder and told him I was happy to be there. I got pulled away by a guy looking after the band not to interact with him anymore before the show. It was a small venue. He's just as pretty in person and that cool your also from Binghamton

I guess he is between 5'6 and 5'7 and just rounds up to the highest by saying he's 5'7.  But he could also be shorter, I'm 1 or 2 cm shorter than you, and I found him to look so tiny 

You look great! I'd say don't delete the post

Haha, that’s a good point, he could be in between. I literally said that’s what I do (round up) and didn’t even entertain the idea with him 🤦🏻‍♀️. Yeah he’s definitely the smallest of my favorite musicians and that’s really saying something because they’re all tiny haha.

And thank you! That’s so nice.

He once outrageously claimed he's 5'8 as well (top of last column in this interview full of great stuff including him also pointing out that Tom Cruise is shorter than him)

Some serious rounding up going on
