it doesn't matter if billie joe having another band, don't you know that many singer, guitarist, bassist, or drummer sometimes playing not only in one band and one genre music? billie joe is a real punk rock and green day is a punk rock band but green day doesn't always sing punk rock song too, even they have ballad song with punk rock touch for example in 'good riddance -time of your life'. having another band that is not in similiar genre doesn't mean you aren't punk rock anymore, sometimes it's for experience trying other music genres and fusion with another and increase their skill. I live 24 hours with bands, songs and music around me so that's the reality pal.

Yes, the Good Riddance song is a ballad. But sorry dude, I don't agree that it has a punk rock touch into it. It is pure ballad! Or might as well call it as an acoustic ballad just like the songs More Than Words and stuff like that.
In fact, that song is quite controversial the time it was released since many of Green Day fans was disappointed due to the fact that a punk rock band had released a ballad. They think it's gay!

It's okay, in my opinion, that he got another band. You know you cant always stay on one genre or something like that. You gotta grow on other fields too. And I think it is solely out of his love for music that he's involving himself to it even more. That is what Billie is trying to do. And I also think that he's got other bands because he's trying to be a little bit more financially secured since Green Day (let's be honest) will not always be on the top (not in my world LOL!). Anyway I can still clearly see that BJ's priority will always be Green Day. The Green Day. Whatever he is right now, he owes it to Green Day.

Yeah, his right, Even if he had another band he still a punk rock, and his other band has some touch of punk too. so he can't scape his root as a punk it will come out. :)

Yes I do know him. I've been one of the band's greatest fans. I can say that I still am! It's like every album they release, they just keep getting better and better. On the other hand, Billie Joe is really good in performing live.
