Was just looking at it the other day and noticed. Made Billie's pose look strange Makes sense. The racist connotations around nooses make this pretty poor form. And also it did look pretty scary (I mean, I am sure it wasn't actually tied to anything, but still). Anyway, I do agree that they all look great in that photo. Quote
Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Posted February 14, 2021 I will say that the racist connotations we first think of surrounding the noose are relatively recent history and more or less specific to American history. Hanging has been used as an execution method for hundreds and hundreds of years in all different cultures around the world. So I doubt this photoshoot was intended to reference the abhorrent and tragic history of the oppression of Blacks and POC in the U.S. specifically. Still, hanging is never really a good thing so I do see your point. I just don't think there was any ill intent behind the shoot. It was just to be edgy™ and provocative. Anyway... pretty heavy topic for a photos thread, 😬 so I'm gonna leave it at that and post these: 3 2 Quote

I think it is just that average white people are starting to wake up to the reality. At any rate, I agree that they had no ill intent with this photo; I am still trying to figure out what exactly they were trying to say in this pic. Also thinks for lightening things up with more band pics. I can't get over Billie's incredible poutiness in that second pic. ❤️ Quote
Slave To The Network Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I used recent as a relative term. I'm talking within the past 200 or so years. I would still call that 'recent' in the whole scheme of things. Quote

Annie, get your gun Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Not just that, in that photoshoot he elbowed Mike and also looked like he twisted his nipple It's one of their best shoots 1 Quote

In the first one, Billie's got completely black hair and in the second he has the blond bits on the sides that he had for a little while. They are both fantastic shoots, though. I think the first is from when they made the KNY music video and the second is from 21CB. This is definitely one of Billie's best looks. They all looked great. Quote

That's the sun on Billie's head in the second pic. And they have the exact same clothes. Those blond bits you mention were only two, one on each side, and bigger (like puppy ears ) And he got them later that year. Quote
Slave To The Network Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Oh yeah, I guess it is just the sun. 😅 They are wearing the same clothes, but I assumed they wore those clothes for multiple shoots. I must admit I was flipping back and forth between the photos studying their outfits and trying to see if there were any differences. Quote

jengd Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I notice Billie Joe seems to be wearing shoes more and more rather than his beloved Chuck Taylors, probably better for him! Quote
