AngelBlue_ Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 He's not there :cry: I don't know how to post photos from instagram, but if you enter #thereplacements you can see photos and a short video of taking a ride, and he's not there. Yeah, that's what I'm doing, I thought it was a big opportunity. Also I've never been to the US and it wasn't too expensive to g to NY (though hotels are crazy expensive!!!). I'm very sorry you couldn't go too, but well, most certainly no Billie Joe, so you can have some peace of mind I'm very disappointed to be honest. I knew there was a big chance he wasn't going to be there, but he made me so excited with those #iminthereplacements instgram hashtags and the photos and the fact he wasn't a speial guest but just another musician in the band like th other guitar player and the drummer (they didn't even introduce him when they last played)... But oh well, I'm still seeing one of my favourite bands and NYC. It's like a pizza with no cheese well I think it's not 100% sure he won't join them again..maybe he couldn't go tonight but maybe he will join them again for the next shows..who knows..
sara_gd Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 well I think it's not 100% sure he won't be playing other shows..maybe he couldn't go tonight but maybe he will join them again for the next shows..who knows..I know I know... I tend to put myself into the worse, but I keep hope Thank you I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with brittneys birthday, they might have done some celebration... Idk, I highly doubt it, but! xD

It's like a pizza with no cheese I think there's still a good chance he would be at the NYC show He's got a lot of love and friends in NYC and I'm sure he'd be tempted to go if he is free. Either way, a trip to one of the best cities in the world to see The Replacements will not be disappointing!
Slave To The Network Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Sad to report, but Billie was not with The Replacements at Bumbershoot. However, it was still an amazingly kickass show and totally worth it! I will post pictures tomorrow sometime in my art thread! If Billie plays with them at the next concert, though, I'm gonna be PISSED! Lol. Because that will be the second time since the Trilogy Tour that Seattle's gotten the shaft.

But oh well, I'm still seeing one of my favourite bands and NYC. It's like a pizza with no cheese Tbh, I'm still pretty sure he will be in New York. The Replacements have a few shows in September, perhaps he's just doing the New York one (he does seem to love the place) so I wouldn't rule it out. The Replacements are my second favourite band (Green Day being my first) and it would have been such an amazing thing for me, but I talked myself out of it because that would mean cutting into the money I'm saving for Green Day tour and my plan is to do the craziest adventure I can afford following them next tour. Even if he's not there though, I'm sure you will have an amazing time and I'm so, so, so jealous!

I'm saving everything I get for next tour as well, but I finally decided to go for this too (it took me a while ) And I'm so sorry for you :( But if you thought about it and decided that, it's the right decision

So jealous of you though, and it will be amazing. I really hope Billie shows up for you, but even if he doesn't, you're still going to New York which will be an insane experience on it's own anyway, and then you're seeing The Replacements y'know, who are pretty fucking cool. And then Billie could show up out of the blue and surprise you and it would be crazy. Totally hoping he shows up for you-I'm pretty sure he will!
T.C Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Is there a particular reason he's performing with this band? Seems really random.
rebel-without-a-clue Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Is there a particular reason he's performing with this band? Seems really random. He loves them
Jon Benjamin Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 He loves themI love Green Day and can play their whole catalogue flawlessly, watch out Matika!
rebel-without-a-clue Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I think Billie Joe will be in NYC for the Replacement's show as well. Stiff Little Fingers will be in the city the same day, maybe that'll tempt him. He loves SLF no?
Todd Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I love Green Day and can play their whole catalogue flawlessly, watch out Matika! Send me a video of you playing I Was There. Prove yourself
Fuzz Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Replacements are playing on The Tonight Show this tuesday (Sept. 9th). I doubt Billie is going to be there, but still keeping an eye out just in case.
sherribomb Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I hope he will be there! I'm excited about this, and I can't wait to see if he is infact there.
AngelBlue_ Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 so Boston tonight...Billie hasn't posted anything about it...
desertrose Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 3. Speaking of the Replacements, will Billie Joe Armstrong join the band on stage tonight? Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has joined the ‘Mats on stage for recent reunion gigs, including Coachella, leading to some speculation he’ll be in town today for the Boston Calling gig. We’ve asked around, and have been told “no” …so we’re going to say a Replacements set with Armstrong is highly unlikely. That’s even more unfortunate which you realize the 20th anniversary of Green Day’s riot-inducing WFNX show at the Hatch Shell is on Tuesday. Yeah, crazy. http://www.vanyaland.com/2014/09/07/10-burning-questions-todays-boston-calling-finale-otherwise-known-pats-mats-day/
Fuzz Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah that sucks. That likely means he won't be with them on The Tonight Show either. Guess it was cool while it lasted. Wonder what he's up to since this was sort of his summer job.
dirnt286 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I went to the Seattle show last weekend. He wasn't playing. I can see why; September is a big month for the band, playing two headlining shows (MPLS and NYC + now Tonight Show). I think fans want to see just the band as is, without extra players. Though, I do personally wish BJ had played the Seattle gig. Oh well.
Heather. Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Either The Replacements said "OK kid, now it's just the real band", OR Billie is busy, OR both!
Mykee Mexx Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Well, it´s not a lifetime job, it seems clear that they play when it suits everyone. And one day it´s over and one day they might play again. Unpredictable. Surprise, surprise! Dat life is punx.
Haley_the_great Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 It looks like he may be playing with them tonight and for the nyc show. Correct me if I am wrong but on the mats fb page the picture from the back sure looks like bjas scruffy head and tiny little legs.
Bob2123 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 It looks like he may be playing with them tonight and for the nyc show. Correct me if I am wrong but on the mats fb page the picture from the back sure looks like bjas scruffy head and tiny little legs. Somebody posted the front view of that pic in the comments. Not him sadly

The "real" band is actually just the singer-guitar player and the bass player. The drummer and the other guitar player are extra players.
desertrose Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Meet the Replacments - past, present & possible WHO KNOWS? Billie Joe Armstrong: The Green Day frontman casually joined the band at Coachella and three other festivals. He is reportedly questionable for this one, despite his local ties via his Minnesotan wife Adrienne. http://www.vita.mn/music/274697021.html
Mykee Mexx Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 ... local ties...? Oh, dear, stupid me...
