Billie, Tre, Mike...your 40 something is showing

[@lonelyvariety]

mychemgurl your genius is showing

[@cripic]

Ipad or any other tablet is not stupid, but Billie made the point. People just buy most of this stuff just because there's an apple printed on the back, or just because they tell you that it's what's you need. They don't even know what megapixel stands for but they want the 12 MP camera, then the next year. they tell them that 12 MP is crap and they want the 16 MP camera and so on.

[@intergelacticwontons9726]

straight facts

[@cake8480]

Facts, the overall public does not realise that megapixels mean everything. All these phones flexing 108 MP photos but their quality is still bad. Focal length, the lens size, and most importantly, the camera software is a major contributor to the quality too.

[@laurachambers3772]

what a dad. overwhelmed by technology

[@ninja_tony]

Billy Joe: Gives extremely nuanced and well thought out explanation on the negatives of modern technology. Tre: Why say lot word when few word do trick.

[@dopefreshness88able]

"In short, the Ipad is stupid" that made my day lol

[@tharockstar01]

They are like a little family of brothers...The is the younger brother, who jokes around and makes the others laugh. Mike is the more reserved older bother who keeps the others in line...then you have Billie...the middle child who is a perfect combination of the others.

[@jaymebuckner4378]

all i can focus on is the size and volume of billie's hair it's like it's twice the size of his head i mean??? tell us your secrets

#TreCool4President2020

[@SuperSactown916]

Tre Cool Tells it like it is! I love how billie rants about things, like whats wrong with new technology these days, some of it is cool, & all. But billie is right about like how big companies like Apple, how they just keep putting out new crap like every single day *not literally*. That you can't even just focus on, and enjoy this one new product they put out, because they just keep on releasing out something new right after the 1st one. Which makes people feel like they need it because it's the "NEW THING" so it gives them that "Want Feeling" & "Gotta Have it right now". Can't even get your worth out of it. Like the iPhone. Every new year a new model comes out. Billie is not talking like this just because he's 43 years old. (Oh... and guys/girls he was actually 38 years old in this interview •2010•) he just knows what he's talking about, and he's becoming more wiser about people & things as he getting older. Their still Green Day! And their still the best Punk-Rock Band! But TRE says it best. Simple Tre=Simple Truth!

[@H-Real_8]

This aged super well what he said about when is enough enough

lol these guys have something against the Ipad. They were one of the few bands to cash in on the rockband and guitar hero videogame craze. They made a broadway musical for their American Idiot album. They released 3 albums in the span of a couple of months which practically sound identical to each other. Talk about being overwhelmed...
