[@novalytra]

Mike and Billie: **giving some backup to their answers and shit** Tre: The iPad is stupid. God I love that drummer xD

[@ZemoGames]

Does Trè have a permanent smile? I've never seen him sad or not smiling

[@camillarighi3648]

[@ReaperGamesMC]

it's the weed man

[@ZemoGames]

Zephyr Spatz-Mallory Resting nice face... seems legit, but again there is a lot of weed or there once was.

[@clairekim2525]

basically the polar opposite of resting bitch face

[@DragonDesignsVFX]

Shadow Skarm the only time i dont see him smiling is whenever he is playing drums from warning and up

[@andy-nh7kr]

everytime i watch green day interviews, i always try to find the comments that say how many times billie had said 'ya know'.

billie's inner 40ness is exposed, but he still looks 25 (at oldest), and i agree with tre, the ipad is stupid.

[@TheHaloGamer]

I think he was 38

[@emmysama8195]

yeah

[@lucygirl4926]

++Emmy Sama And is that a bad thing? I don't think so. Age marches forward no matter who you are. I, too, agree with Tre Cool -- the iPad is stupid.

The expression that Tre has at 0:23 is what he looks like in every interview and it literally kills me

[@jwlgoesfishing]

Don't you just love it how Tré's quiet all the time and then suddenly ends this part of the interview with the most epic and witty comment ever? x)

[@dopefreshness88able]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@akitatrips]

I don't know any secrets. I don't know anything. I know only 1 thing. I must touch his hair...

[@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!

[@fingerless-glovez]

Tre: "In short, the IPad is stupid." Thank you, Tre.

I'M OVERWHELMED BY TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY! I love them, but I never thought I'd hear them sound like old fogies!

[@JamieNinetyFive]

ahah, Billie was born in 1972 so he would have grown up in the 70's and 80's where there was nothing like this around, and people still had social lives, lol.

[@ninjacookie8535]

***** I know right? My dad always says "y'know back when I was a kid we never had all of this technology, but we still had social lives."

[@therealMrA]

I'm stoned as fuck but I have to let you guys know that I read your comments in Bill Cosby's voice and it was hilarious

[@rexflamingo1037]

Billy looks legitimately angry on the thumbnail lol

[@rachelkilby5829]

I agree with Billie, it can be overwhelming and they never stop making new versions. However, they are really cool too.👏🏻 Tré, you are a great man. No bull💩, just pure honesty. We love you for that.❤️

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...
