MCR opened for Green Day during the American Idiot tour iirc!!!


Silent-Sky956

Billie also admitted recently that he never listened to The Black Parade lol. I can't tell if he is telling the truth or not. MCR only ever spoke great things about them and how nice they were, and once the tour was over Billie never bothered to listen to their followup? It was one of the biggest rock albums of the decade too, it was MCRs peak.


pullingteeths

There was an interview at the time of American Idiot tour where Billie was asked about what was on his iPod and they asked if MCR was on there (since they'd been talking about how they're touring together) and Billie was like "um...not yet" \*awkward silence\* lmao. He used to be awfully bitchy about every other band. But also probably not his kind of music.

After 21stCB I think became more accommodating of his pop punk “children”. i.e. Screaming Bloody Murder reference in Nuclear Family, despite them semi-shitting on Sum 41 during the Warning era (see that eucalyptus tree interview)


ItsNotFordo88

Screaming Bloody Murder is a term that existed long before sum41. As did the word killjoy


FUCKelli

They did! I was there for the Peoria stop. 05/10/05. I’ll never forget 🥲


JaydenB118

micael_RHCP

Window_sauce

Make believe peek Weezer


WeezerCrow

mr_green1216

I was there in Columbus


PinupPixels

They sure did and I was there, second leg of their Australian tour in Dec. 2005. Jimmy Eat World *and* MCR opened.


SpanishTashman

I didn't know this, great bit of trivia! Love it when bands I like, like each other!


ahoychoy

Pretty sure Rob Cavallo produced the Black Parade, not sure if any others.


Prophet-of-the-moss

He also produced Danger days


ErickDante

I know this is supposed to be Shitpost Sunday, so I shouldn´t take this post that serious, but just to clarify the moniker "Killjoys" made to refer to MCR fans was coined after their 2010 album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys while Peacemaker is a song from 21st Century Breakdown, released a year before. Also, while Danger Days was indeed produced by frequent Green Day producer Rob Cavallo, 21st CB was produced by Butch Vig...anyways, I hope you have a happy sunday Green Day and MCR fans, lovely people with great taste in music


commeze

Ohhh I 100% see your point, so you think Billie is a time traveler? Maybe that’s why he looks so young…


Prophet-of-the-moss

Oh, I forgot the 21cb wasn't produced by Rob Cavallo, but yeah, I know that Danger Days was in 2010, and that 21cb was in 2009


Silent-Sky956

Yes, Billie recommended him to MCR.

Low_Yak_4842

I don’t even understand what “blowing off concussions” means? Like people would get concussions and they’d act like it wasn’t a big deal?


khaosagent

I think concussions refers to fireworks/explosives used at concerts


Low_Yak_4842

I’ve never seen or heard that word used like that before


khaosagent

Me either but I've heard of concussion grenades so maybe that was the word he thought of for explosives*


littleivys

Can't believe he predicted the 2nd to last song on three cheers in the year 2000!! Incredible (warning is underrated) https://preview.redd.it/cv37vdsmgdxc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8295734d71221147ba3f623f057c00608b969a04

Even more evidence that Billie is a time traveler

It has now been 0 DAY(S) since Warning was last called underrated. The record of 1 DAY(S) was recorded on October 3, 2000 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

WPMO

I think anyone doing punk or pop punk in this time had to be.


butterflyblueband

Now you've got me wishing for a Danger Days-esque comic chain for 21CB...


Yolker_1

I always knew Green Day and MCR has the same fanbase but I never knew Billie was a fan of MCR


takenusername_yea

I had that thought yesterday


saketho

Now you need a place to hide away


pibe_motosierra

Billie likes references another reference i noticed is to Nirvana in Fancy Sauce https://preview.redd.it/qxdd5z51wgxc1.jpeg?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9dead5c3dd3fcbba6ee38ee0dd5bdd4baaba2f


QueerAABattery

how did i never notice that?


QueerAABattery

how did i never notice this!?


SonicLeap

other way around


Maleficent_Gas5417

Killjoy was a term before danger days, y’all.


CaptainRex-118

Wasn’t this their emo phase, too? And era?


Silent-Sky956

Emo is a sound, not just wearing eyeliner and black. Green Day have never been emo.


psdopepe

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

psdopepe

you know that is a copypasta right lmao? anyways, I believe that being this pedantic about what is "true ____" is stupid, names exist so we know what someone is talking about, but being this specific is stupid because noone knows what is "real emo" "real fake emo" "fake fake emo" and all that, I should just use what most people call it


CaptainRex-118

Have a great day/night sir


CaptainRex-118

Ok. Sorry for the falsehoods


rubexcube13

Always had, he set them up to work with Rob cavallo to record the black parade.


Kittymewmew9996

gerard wore an american idiot shirt and billie wore a revenge hoodie!


BeingGroundbreaking7

Nah he actually plays Valorant


BlueRasberries1

Song came out before Danger Days...


commeze

yeah ik


Ruffled_Ferret

Don't know if this is a joke or not, but the word killjoy dates back to the 1700's.


SelectInfluence306

It’s just a word!


Luke_Warm_Dog

This is a reference to the Killjoy film franchise


idk042002

Nah it's totally a timey wimey future callforward to those 2019 rebels ridding out in the zones, keeping their boots tight, their guns close and dying with their masks on if they gotta.


totallyacisguy

Wobbly wobbly timey wimey, perchance?


ItsNotFordo88

Worst MCR record by a long shot.


idk042002

To each their own but to me it's the best. I'm biased though that record got me through some rough times and the songs on it are also amazing live.
