remember, billy was a meth-head from the early days up til insomniac, which is a straight speed album. wonder if it's coke now

wondering what prescription meds he's hooked on....adderall, vyvanse would make sense given his past abuse of meth and amps. INSOMNIAC might be the greatest speed album ever made. btw, reading the 12 year old green day fans' reactions and forced denials on the main msg board is pretty hilarious: http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/90220-billie-getting-treatment-for-substance-abuse/
it's as if they've never listened to the lyrics of GEEK STINK BREATH. if you're a speed/meth head like that, you're gonna have drug issues later on.

pretty much zero intelligent discussion on this anywhere on the internet. every green day fan is all "hmm suspicious...seems obviously like a cover-up by clear channel to make sure green day doesn't embarrass them." am i the only one who isn't surprised AT ALL about his drug issues? dude was a fucking METH HEAD at the height of his band's popularity!

Dunno if it's all that farfetched -- the New York based video dudes have been throwing in big chunks of Communism lately (the weather report that starts as a lame "hipster" joke) and have reason to be pissed at the bosses. Enjoy this stuff while it's here.

I don't know if it's that my taste is just on a higher level than most, or if the band is just well tuned to my individual sound-interests. Personally I think time will show, and in 20 or 30 years it will be a lot easier to tell that these guys were doing something completely unique. Kind of like how Radiohead fans find out about CAN and realize the truth. About as contemporary as it can get, on some of their prior releases and at times on Parastrophics. Completely different strata.

Idiology is I think their most "important" album. It's the one where they push their aesthetic to its furthest limit. Not in terms of noise, but in terms of concept. They manage to create hyper-futuristic pop music while also having a certain... Schoenbergian purity... unity of structure and sound. It's utterly new. Perhaps just as new to the "song" form as Schoenberg was to the classical form back in the day. They deconstruct every level of the sound object world... from the concept-sound to the sound-sound to the production-sound to the melody-sound. LOL. They reduce pop music to an avant-garde art form with just as much validity as any given Beethoven or Mozart. The possibilities become endless.
