It’s so nice to see him happy and healthy.
Yeahh
Healthy? Dude he's high af, he recently said that he isn't sober anymore.
@@josecienega6427 he was doing heroin during The Longshot days. My girlfriend at the time has known him since the 90's, but she hates needles. He was trying to get her to come to one of the shows, during their mini tour but she flat out refused cos of it. That would've been one helluva Cinco de Mayo. PS. He wrote "Maria" about her.
@@Seej1982 I don't care dude wtf
@@josecienega6427 I don't care if you don't care
He went from looking like a emo punk rocker to looking like a country trucker. Man I am getting old. Thanks for the 1k likes!
You could've not had said it better man hahaha
It's just a trucker hat bro 😂
but dude if he shave he would look 30 immediately
I said the same,especially the " I'm getting old" part😆
Hundreds of millions of dollars changes a man
Glad to see that Billie Joe is embracing that avarage- middle-age-American-Dad look. Great rock icon, tho
yeah he looks relaxed and pretty happy. as he should be!
Quarantine made everyone dress down.
Heck yeah. He's an Average Joe
Still sounds the same😂
He goes straight from that look to rockstar pretty quickly. Like the recent Green Day shows he has his old look.
Seeing him so happy and laughing literally made my day
He looks like Billy-Bob Armstrong today. :)
i still love him 🙏🥺
Hehe
Lars ulrich
He remains beautiful
I no like that looking.....i want 2004 looking
He dressed like the kind of person who would inspire a punk rock album titled "American Idiot"
Lmaoooo you right
True. if you didn't know, The title track of American Idiot first came to billie when He was listening to a Lynyrd Skynyrd Song. He was Disgusted by the message portrayed by the song
@@thejaskodoth4630 any idea which song?
@@jessesdomain444 thats how i like it
Green Day's Know Your Enemy became my theme song as I worked through breast cancer.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sooo glad you're doing better. Tell the band.
That.is.awesome!
That's amazing! I know they will be proud of you for staying strong!
That is the coolest thing I've read in awhile. I'm so sorry for your hardship, but way to be a badass about it.✊🖤
What stage were you?
I'll never stop loving Green Day. And Billie. Lifelong favorites
Same
Same
I’m a simple man. I see Billie Joe, I click (side note): the fact that Disappearing Boy is Serena Williams’s favorite Green Day song makes my heart very happy!
I was thinking the same thing. Such a classic
I went to elementary school with him back in (I think) 77... he came to my classroom and sang while playing the guitar. He's a couple years younger than me... and WAY more successful.
thats so cool, do you have any more stories about him to tell us?
yupp he started pre-greenday in high school
Omg please tell more storiessss

His voice will never change 😂
It actually changed drastically. It's way higher that it used to be.
@@podrouzk Right?? I wonder how that works. His voice was noticeably deeper in the 90s.
@@adi9296 its probably from all the touring and singing. He would probably have lost his voice if he didnt change the way he sang/talked
@T S Haha no he doesn't.
@@podrouzk Yeah having been a fan of GD since the 90's, it has. But his singing voice is different.
how can u not love this man
It's easy.
He is the best
@T S no he doesn't. You sir have no taste in music
@T S like I said no taste

Billie will always be my favourite human.

It's funny Serena Williams got Green Day to play Disappearing Boy. There's an old concert clip of Green Day where Billie Joe asks the audience what song they want to hear. Billie Joe says: "we'll play anything". Someone in the audience yells "Disappearing Boy" and Billie Joe says: "We're not gonna play that one."
I can’t imagine serena Williams being a fan of green day it’s weird that
@@saffronthurkettle6795 why? Let me guess...but you fill on the blanks.
That's a deep cut. Serena is a true fan. I like her even more now.
@@saffronthurkettle6795 why? music knows no color.
Why it the most popular band in the world when she was in highschool
Well, he sure looks like a 'Billie Joe' nowadays.
lol😂
Right, when's the country album coming out?
@@jacobthompson1682 It already did!
@@zachontherun1043 And it was fantastic! One of my most beloved albums of the last ten years 👍🏻 I wish Norah and Billie would produce another country record...
Lol true. But hey, that's alright xD haha 😄
Billie Joe Armstrong brought so much joy into my life but he most likely wont know about it. I just wanna thank him for existing 🥰
something that never changes about billie is how hes always akward with interviews and stuff
That’s a good thing though
hes always been camera shy, although always very honest and funny!
Honestly i would rather have someone be a bit awkward over most celebrities who just answer questions like a robot. It makes it more relatable and real ya know?
He’s extremely shy
he’s far from awkward, just a genuine guy
I was a 15 year old sophomore in HS when Dookie came out. I wore that poop covered shirt to school damn near everyday in 1994-95. Still haven’t seen a band with as much energy.
Me too! I am 40 in a few weeks 😭
I was 17 when they squeezed out Dookie. Danged if I listened to any other album for about half a year!
I was about to graduate high school.
HE LOOKS SOO GOODD OOMGGG
That’s my exact thought
Yeah?
He looks horrible lmao
@@Abax77 that was kinda mean :(
@@Abax77 you look horrible for your age
Ladies and gentlemen: The most adorable human on earth ❤
* Ladies
@@richardjones2455 Thanks
Hell yeah
Maybe set yer bar a bit higher?🤣🙄😎
@@saxmidiman hell nah, he's super cute
Serena Williams's favorite song is disappearing boy??? Damn that's a deep cut, true fan right there
Right? I said the same thing before reading your comment. She's a true fan.
lol same reaction. you can tell shes a die hard fan. love that song too
Billie, the beard looks good on him. Green Day is always a blast to listen to
Totally!
You could say you're "Having a Blast" 😉
He’s always looked good with facial hair
this guy always turns to a southern truck driver during breaks and come back as a rock star when the tour starts
I thought mechanic but I totally see truck driver now😅
Dude this guy was my idol as a kid. Gave me a lot of comfort during some really hard times as a child.
Haha everyone's saying Billie looks like a truck driver which is so ironic because that's what his dad used to do.
So I’m not the only one who thought of this! I think it’s quite heartwarming whenever someone brings it up.
That's not ironic.
Billie's smile and expressions are so cute ❤️ I love him so much.
Are you a good fan of mine??
His 5-year-old singing voice is adorbs☺️👌
He's gorgeous with the beard omgg.. I hope he performs with it live in the future.
His current appearance reminds me of his "Ordinary World" movie
I was thinking the same thing!
I forgot that happened how come no one talks about that movie
@@d00r9 yeah for real... people kinda forgot... he should do more movies I think, he's a fine actor
Minus the glasses.
He used to shut people down so often when they mentioned his past or his personal life. It's nice to see him grow to be more open on these shows. :)
When did he do that?
He’s a great human being as well as musician I hope nothing but good things come in his life
He became independently wealthy at quite a young age. He has also aged fairly well and hasn't lost his wealth. I'd say that's a pretty damn fine lot in life, and I'm sure he understands that even though it has been many, many years since BJ has gone through the agonizing process of looking for a job.
We all want Disappearing Boy 😔
He literally has never changed his singing cadence. Bless. Love him so much.
He blushed so hard when Jimmy played the song of him singing at 5. So freaking adorable. 😊
no time to search the tv channels around because you know where he'll be found when he comes around
Loved Green Day from when I heard them in 96, first ever gig in 98, always thought it meant a day in the forest or a park
This man has found the fountain of youth
does he got dehydrated?
I think he and Weird Al went on an expedition once and made a pact not to share where it is 🤣.
@@hi-pm8il does his tongue swell up
There’s a draught at the fountain of youth... yeah because he stole it all.
The fountain of beard and hair dye more like it
Feels good to see one of my biggest inspirations being interviewed again 😌
Right?? Feel so good!
Billie was so adorable when he laughed 🥺❤️
It's Bubba Joe Armstrong! He's workin' on a new country album :)
"Or it's a bathroom" He's still a Punk at heart.
@T S no one cares what you think
@T S knup?
@@r3vueclipse891 Lol
I'd love to hear him belt out some stuff from Kerplunk again. I've also been looking for that clip of him doing an outdoor gig live screaming "I'm the greatest fuckin guitar player in the world!"
Omg please share the link with me if you find it!!
Happy to see Billie happy. i miss Green Day
Billie is pulling off the look "Dave Grohl is now a truck driver" 😂😂😂😂 By the way, I wanted Billie to sing look for love. Hahahah
Without the name on the thumbnail, I will never recognize that is Billie.
Same
I can’t put into words how much I love this man. Looks like a little trucker lmao!
He should play one in a movie and the stereotypical one
“Omgg Billie Joe is so cute, he never ages, like he’s in his twenties! He’s got the fountain of youth!” Billie Joe:
He be like: IMMA BREAK THE FOUNTAIN THEN
There’s a drought at the fountain of youth
@@lightningbolt99999 LMAO
@@lightningbolt99999 And he's dehydrated...
They aren't wrong. Look at his skin. If he just shaved he'd look the same as he always had for the last 20 years.
SO GOOD TO SEE BILLIE
Green Day is still one of my all-time favorite bands live. Their shows are absolutely amazing.
Billie will never get old...he is evergreen !!
Thanks Jimmy...Green Day is one of my all time favorite bands and its wonderful to see Billie Joe evolve and continue to create amazing content, songs, and fun!
You know Serena Williams is a real fan when she's requesting songs from 1991, even before Dookie came out. Lol
Ty, Green Day. You helped get me through high school. Will always be one of my favorite bands.
He's my heart off the chest
I owe Green Day my life 💚💚💚 Love to see Billie again 🖤
A big thank you to all my fans! What will my name and career be without all of your love and support? Amidst my darkest days you all stood by me, I don't have all the time in the world to reply, but i do read your heartwarming comments and i truly appreciate all. It's the season of love & so i decided to put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through old posts on my official page and hitting up random fans, So i can get to relate with my fans better through discussions of depth and humour, listening to compliments and criticisms on my career walk.❤️❤️
Billie Joe looks good I'm happy to see him happy.
1039 smoothed out slappy hours was literally the anthem to my freshman year of high school. Damn, I miss Greenday. Good to see Billie Joe.
What a lovely interview! I enjoyed watching it 😊 Wish he could do this every week 😃!
So happy to see him. God I love this man! 🥰
It's so good to see him again ❤
Damn he’s really unrecognizable. I’m still super happy for him though
Ikr at first I was like, who is this?
@@moonstrikethedragon8656 Same! But then I felt like hugging him because here he looks like a normal father and it's so adorable being him💚
My Favorite human ✨🙏🏽♥️
i used to listen to green day in the 90s, and it had been close to 20 years since i listened to them but a couple weeks ago I listened to their album Dookie, and it brought back memories but also I was kind of blown away at how good the melodies are, and every song is different. it gave me a new respect for how good of a musician Billy joe armstrong is even if its just punk rock
Saw them in Hartfor#, CT in 2017. They played non-stop for nearly 3 hours. Sweat flew everywhere on stage.
are you Billie?? someone who I always see when I come home from school, now you are old .. thank you for coloring my life with your song. now im old too
Seeing him do his thing is a blessing ❤
This dude is a rock legend and yet still so down to earth. Cool to see. Rock on man 🤘🏻
dissapearing boy what a song man! no matter how much music study and how much bands i became to know i will always love green day. take me to my teenage years
Omg I love Billie with everything I am and green day always will be my fav band
He's so precious ❤️
Mike Dirnt remarked billie and tre as "brothers" at rock and roll hall of fame, and that time I realised that Green Day is always gonna stay unite.
Love you Billie Joe Armstrong! Can’t wait to hear this podcast! Also I totally get that total eclipse of the heart thing 🥴
I first noticed Green Day after seeing the Basket Case video in '95 while vacationing in Europe, thought they were British for sure. They filled a gaping whole in my heart after wandering aimlessly for years after the breakup of The Clash. Bay Area proud !
BILLIE TE AMO
Sending love & hugs from Borobudur Sunrise!!
"Billie Joe! You've just gotten out of the studio after recording your very first album... how does it feel?" "Mmmmmmmmm---WON-derful!" It all makes sense now.
Need a new album Billie! Rock on forever! 🤘
Yes he does either with green day or a 2nd album with the longshot
Been a fan for 25 years.. Green Day.. RHCP and 311 are my music trifecta
Such a fun interview!
Love this man. Cant wait to get it on audible!!!
A big thank you to all my fans! What will my name and career be without all of your love and support?

His blonde roots are coming back out circa-Dookie days and the 21st Century Breakdown tour
Andd... shenanigans!!
OMG little Billie singing is the cutest thing ever 😍
He looks chill, sober, non egocentric and all around happy! And that makes me happy! Keep it going brothee!
YESSSSSSSSSS IM SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM
Jimmy you're great and Billie Joe has so much to offer ! Good Green Day
I just love him
I love this guy so much! Loved seeing him in this interview. I don't know why he deleted his Instagram but I'm sure he gets a lot of hate. Billie if u see this just know you have a lot of loving fan! See u in July and September!
I love Billie so much. He's the best.
he looks so happy and healthy 🥰
BILLIE JOE!!!!!! WE MISSED HIM
From Madagascar , Always following your latk show dude, really cool

Wow Billy Joe with a beard. Looks so grown up. Used to that crazy little kid jumping around and belting out songs.
He’s 49
He aged so well
Hope to see u guys soon in Germany again can't wait for the next concerts stay healthy everyone and take care :)
You're THE BEST Jimmy!!!!🙏✨✨✨
Love that last segment about music evoking smells/tastes...such a "dude" conversation and the fact it was between Jimmy Kimmel and BJ made me laugh even harder.
It’s so good to see him happy and healthy
i had a car accident on sept 30 and the first song i heard when i woke up was wake me up when september ends ill never forget that even if i dont remember anything of the accident that i remember
Love this man❤love green day❤
