It seems like they blew their budget in that launch and haven’t seen a return. Since then there’s been no new products, no merch, and they didn’t even bother with a Christmas bundle or anything special like the cocoa they did last year. Even their social media game is pretty dead.

Junk Gypsy made an anniversary post about the time they renovated Billie Joe’s airstream and include a bunch of photos including when they later met backstage after a show on the RevRad tour. Nice story https://www.instagram.com/p/DUhVpdsjbrZ/?igsh=d3JrOGlkZTgxeGhj

AI is now nr. 1 on Spotify and the most popular GD song off of their catalog. Safe to say it's been getting a lot of publicity and is being pretty relevant these days..
-
Official live releases are still happening! A good chunk of them are released digitally but plenty of bands still do physical releases. The cure just dropped a live Blu-ray last year and a live cd 2 years ago. And Depeche mode released a live album/DVD combo last year.
-
Are live albums still a thing since everything is for free on youtube? Anyways, if they do a live album, hopefully it would have the quality of Bullet in a Bible. Awesome as Fuck was a bit of a letdown in terms of sound quality..
-
Hey if they introduced some chai it would reawaken my interest in PBC. I love me some good chai.
-
Well said. I do think one small moment from Bad Bunny's performance I don't see talked about is the quick shot of two men grinding on each other. That also sends a message even if it was brief.
-
It's been far too long since we've had a live album/DVD from these guys. That would be amazing! There's so many great shows to choose from. It could be like Awesome as Fuck where it's performances from different cities across the tour or just from one amazing show in particular. First one that comes to mind is Chicago!....I'm not biased 👀
-
They probably rest all 2026 and start collecting ideas and demoing in 2027
-
Green Day also had different logos between 2020 and 2022. I don't expect new music until at least 2028. Billie himself recently said that there's no new music to record after their recent tour.
-
Don't get your expectations too high. My Chemical Romance had probably 10 different logos in the last years and they didn't release a new album 😅

But you could also claim Bad Bunny was a watered down version of himself. He has spoken out explicitly about ICE as recently as his Grammy acceptance speech the week before. He also dressed in drag in one of his music videos (Yo Perreo Sola, which is one of the songs he included in his Super Bowl performance), and if I'm not mistaken he's also worn dresses to some red carpet events or magazine shoots. I know there were rumors about him also wearing something like that for the Super Bowl. But he didn't. He could have also easily done a 15 minute medley with only songs that more political or more of a celebration of Puerto Rican culture, and skip all the dancing and sex songs and "I have a girlfriend in every country" songs. He also didn't call out ICE even though he has done it before. And I think it's okay that he didn't. He wanted to send out a message of unity and celebration of a culture, and directly calling out ICE would have been more divisive and would have been all people talked about afterwards. I think he presented the version of himself that he felt would be most palatable to most people without giving up his core essence (he couldn't give that up anyways, unless he had only sung covers with back up of All-American all white artists and dancers). My point is, I don't think Bad Bunny was particularly bold in anything he did. His act was still super powerful, without a doubt, especially because we're in a climate where looking like him, sounding like him, speaking his language, has almost become a crime in the US. But I think some people perceive it as exceptionally bold due to a lack of familiarity with his music and performances. Meanwhile there might be some people in his fan base, or queer folk, who are disappointed that he didn't use this platform to be the most bold he can be. Undoubtedly Bad Bunny's performance was more impactful and powerful, but he had more time, more budget, and just looking the way he does, and singing in Spanish, was going to be a statement, no matter which songs he chose or how the act had been choreographed. So as you say, not matter what, Bad Bunny's performance was always going to be more impactful. On the other hand I also feel we are grasping at straws here. He could have worn a t-shirt with a huge Virgen de Guadalupe on it if he really wanted to make a statement, not a tiny medallion that needs to be pointed out for people to notice it. I also doubt that they are so deluded as to think that them singing "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda" would have upstaged Bad Bunny (or at least I hope they are not that deluded 😅). Short of Billie dropping his pants and taking a a literal shit on a bucket of ice, I don't think there's anything Green Day could have done to upstage Bad Bunny. They just didn't have the time or space to do that. I think they chose to include two of their most political songs, and leave it at that, and just put their focus on putting the best show they could in just 5 minutes. We all know how much Billie struggled to put together a 30 minute set for iHeartRadio some years ago, imagine they pain they must have gone through trying to figure out how to make the most powerful 5 minute performance they could do. We just have to accept they were not as bold or as political as we had expected them to be (I also think for non-American folks who are not familiar with the Super Bowl at all, such as myself, the expectation of how much stage time they'd get was way off. I certainly expected them to have a least 20 minutes not realizing that not even the half time was that long. So my expectations of what they could do were also hyperinflated just because of how much more time I thought they had.) But their act was still political, and could have been even more watered down if they really hadn't wanted to make a statement at all (they could have just done a Time of Your Life, Basket Case, BOBD, WMUWSE, WICA medley, people would have still recognized the songs, and be done with that).

Thought people may be interested in this, it's fan made but very cool! It's a bit of a gimmick but it's fun https://www.ebay.com/itm/206062966834

A logo like this would be good for an archival release or for Nimrods/New Years Rev

Being from Scotland & not the USA, don’t really know much if anything about the Super Bowl/NFL, but I really enjoyed the “mega mix”. Why is no-one here talking about how great Billies voice sounded ? 🗽(I’ve also never heard of Bad Bunny either)

I’m a sucker for when he wears his good fitted leather jacket + plain black tee combo. He looked like such a hot Rock Star. 🤩 -
I think that was at the Pier 29 show unless I'm mistaken, not the Super Bowl opening show.

I also something about the Rebel Loon sticker on his guitar showing support for Minnesota.
