Bastard of 1969 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Sweden isn't too far off. Maybe he's working his way towards it Scandinavia... He's gonna do a project with Santa Claus and Elves...SWEET...
Overjoyyed Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Cool. I find it interesting how vast Billies love of music and musical ability is, Broadway, country, pop, rap- awkward rap hah, rock, etc.
The Platypus! Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I struggle to think what it's going to be like. Hopefully it turns out well .
Bastard of 1969 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 this is going to be weird imo "So wake me up...when september ends."
Guest Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 So, now that I actually know who Avicii is, hell yes, this is exciting!!!! I'd love to see what they come up with!
stories and songs Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm really excited about this. I don't know Avicii's work other than Wake Me Up, but I do love that song and can see Billie fitting well into that strange folk/electronica genre. Honestly, I just think it's awesome that Billie is so interested and willing to test out different styles of music. It's so easy to just stick with what you know, but he seems to have a true interest in expanding his knowledge and taking on new experiences. I say good for him.
BullwinkleCheech Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Just because he's busy with so many music styles doesn't necessarily mean he's GOOD at all of them. Everything rap-related that he did sucked pure balls. The Broadway thing isn't amongst my favorite's either (but then again, Broadway isn't really my thing). The country record was a good one though
OhTheGuilt. Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 This could be really interesting.. we'll see I guess.

death_or_glory Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I haven't heard much of Avicii, but my hope for a Billie Joe electro/pop/dance style song, would be for it to sound something like Le Tigre, the electro punk band from the 00s. I'm pretty sure Billie was a Le Tigre fan, considering he is friends with Kathleen Hanna and was a big Bikini Kill fan. Stylistically, this is the only sort of electronic/pop/punk/dance music that I personally can imagine Billie's vocals sounding good on. Either way, i'm curious!
LazyPhil Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Let's see what happens, I think it could be cool. I actually liked what he did with The Lonely Island
-Billiejoezee- Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Well I loved his work with The Lonley Island, so pretty sure I'm gonna love this too!
Hermione Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Just because he's busy with so many music styles doesn't necessarily mean he's GOOD at all of them. Everything rap-related that he did sucked pure balls. The Broadway thing isn't amongst my favorite's either (but then again, Broadway isn't really my thing). The country record was a good one though Yeah but if an experiment doesn't turn out well (or to your taste) it doesn't mean it was a bad thing to do it, even if the resulting song isn't good trying out new styles can keep him creative/motivated/inspired. Better to try out all kinds of stuff and have some hits and misses than not bother at all.
greenday_jlb Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Being honest, it's not my kind of thing, but I wish him all the best with it.
James! Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Has this actually been officially confirmed or is it still rumours
Fuzz Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Has this actually been officially confirmed or is it still rumours Well as far as we know, Avicii himself said it. No reason to believe he's lying. Unless he was misquoted and instead meant he wanted to work with Billie Joe, not that he would. But besides that first news release, no new info.

Ahh okay because that's what I thought the initial new said anyway that he wanted to work with him not nesserialy stating he has or is going to
Fuzz Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Got this tweet earlier. In the newspaper today. Avicii is as Swedish as I am, so we get a lot of news from him. Guys. It's official Dunno what it says or what they mean by "it's official" - but here it is anyway.
BringMoreKnives Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Eh, don't really like Avicii, so I don't care either way.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Sounds cool, I'm excited to hear it! I don't listen to Avicii in my spare time, but he's definitely among the people I like when I hear music in other places (party, radio, etc). Pretty cool that Billie is branching out so much.
desertrose Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Rolling Stone had article on this guy. His real name is Tim Bergling and he is from Sweden and mentions his collaboration with Billie Joe. "There is a song with Billie Joe Armstrong called "No Pleasing a Woman"
Sanity Loan Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Rolling Stone had article on this guy. His real name is Tim Bergling and he is from Sweden and mentions his collaboration with Billie Joe. "There is a song with Billie Joe Armstrong called "No Pleasing a Woman" Cool. Do you have a link?
desertrose Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I read it in the new issue with Lana Del Rey on the cover I just got in the mail.
Hermione Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 "There is a song with Billie Joe Armstrong called "No Pleasing a Woman" Intriguing!
