Billie Joe chats with Rolling Stone about HOF weekend and new album

[Chin for a Day]

WE HAVE DIVERGED

I like it too!!! It is just idiotic fun. I thought I was the only one. I want to see them replace King for a Day with DRB. I think it would be a fun medley live.

Let's not get too hasty, now.

King for a Day needs a burial. I love the concept of what they do with it, they just need a new song to do it with

NOOOOO! Dammit. Should we take this to the unpopular opinions thread? I'm curious what your thoughts are, because I feel like it just falls under the "trying too hard" category again.

YES. I'd take any new "funny" song in place of it. Dominated Love Slave? Blood, Sex & Booze? Fuck Time? I literally will take anything else. Maybe even DRB.

[Chin for a Day]

Fuck Time

This works for me. Can you just see what he can do with this song?

Maybe just a little bit, but I still like it more than a lot of the stuff on the Trilogy. Nothing wrong with a longer song, I don't think it's trying replicate JoS or Homecoming. There aren't really that many distinct parts to DRB, it just goes on for a long time.

But does it go on because it has to, or because it wants to? I think the last part could be cut entirely, and the fact that they just repeat the first verse at the end and cut the verse with the line "dirty rotten bastards" altogether still irks me. It kind of seems like the attitude of 21CB embodied in a song.

Disclaimer: I think it's alright, and the solos are fun, but the fact that 85 percent of the forum was jizzing over the song every day during the trilogy tour probably adds to my annoyance.

Oh, definitely because it wants to. It's artificially extended, but not in a particularly jarring way. It doesn't feel that long to me. It's a fun song I wasn't around for much of that jizzing, so that's probably why it doesn't bother me as much.

It was so terrible. Literally every tour thread, people would go in there any just post "DIRTY ROTTEN BASTARDS!!!!! <3" the entire time the concert was going on, as if Billie Joe was gonna check out the thread mid-show and decide to play it. People would also post it on setlist.fm and fuck with the setlists just to mess with said people. It was so dumb, especially for a song that's just (in my opinion) mediocre.

Yeah, I remember that from the HoB show. It was annoying, but then again, so are people who think setlist.fm is a reliable source during a show in progress.

The obvious solution is to bring back Paper Lanterns.

I'm hoping for a new single by the summer of 2016 at this point. The thing I'm most curious about is what Green Day's next work is going to be like lyrics-wise.

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

Stop teasing me... that's my favorite Green Day song. <3

The "DRB!!!" in the tour threads was a joke it started at the first show of the Trilogy tour when someone came in and posted it as if it were a part of the setlist. The entire forum flipped its collective shit before realizing it was a troll. Someone posted it in the next thread as a joke and then the forum did what we always do with jokes - beat it to death. I still think it would be fun to hear live once or twice, but it's definitely not a song that should be put into regular rotation on the setlist!

Oh, I know you guys were trolling toward the end, but it stemmed from people being serious about it, didn't it? I'm pretty sure I remember getting in a fight with Flo and her gang because they were convinced it was the greatest song Billie Joe had ever written, or something to that effect.

Like, even if they would've played it on that tour, I still wouldn't have flipped my shit. I just don't give a single fuck about that overrated song.

I need to see this. Flo butthurt is my fave butthurt.

I don't agree. They've done it before. It's time to bring on another song. They have alot of songs that will work, time to mix it up.

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

Oh God, that'd be three years buried in the forum. I have no idea where it'd be now.

I think we got in an argument about 99 Revolutions, too, because they were all "its message is SO powerful!" and I said it was a few years too late.

Genuinely saddened that I'll never see this butthurt

Seriously though, stop.

Seriously though, stop.

Came within seconds of reporting you for backseat modding. Changed it to "reported for telling people to stop what they've already stopped doing."

Thank god you're around.

[Guest]

Thank god you're around.

You should be glad you have someone to reteach you how to mod. You're obviously out of shape.

[Maddy.]

Seriously though, stop.

is this a thing now

oh man i'm a meme

[Sarcasm]

He wasn't talking shit. He was just expressing his preference for a particular flavor of butthurt.

S'not my fault she doesn't like zebras.
