The funny thing is, right after I posted that, I thought, hasn't this been mentioned before? Looked back, and yes it was. And I was part of the conversation. We need new stuff to talk about.

You're so right!! Now I can't unhear it

When you whistle the "I was sober now I'm drunk again" part in Dilemma, it sounds like Joe Jackson's Is She Really Going Out with Him.

Tre posted a video for Mother's Day https://www.instagram.com/reel/C65NFm8LxpT/?igsh=MW1wZ3MxMnM4NnNydg== and from Billie's Instagram story

I feel they are both the same album cigarettes and valentines and american idiot, it's just that it turned into american idiot because they wrote better stuff that overtook the stuff they already had. as billie went to go to new york for a bit during 2003, maybe he was taking a break from working on that album and then when they came back to work on it again they have a better cooler idea than c&v

What do you want to see in the thread, just everyone posting fuck Islam and fuck Muslims and GD shouldn't play a Muslim country? The reason playing the show has been questioned is authoritarian government enforcing religious laws/censorship laws as well as human rights issues in the country. Nobody has denied that the government and religious laws are Islamic, I don't understand what else you want. If you think the reason they shouldn't play there is just that it's a religious country then they shouldn't play the US or many others either.

But this 'isn't the topic of conversation'. I'm not trying to be contrarian by the way & I'm not trying to anger you & you seem like a cool person, I just don't get people who make statements like the one above but won't call out the real reason countries act that way & have such poor rights records is because of islam. That's just fact.

The interview that Mike did before the American idiot album title was released he talked about how they had all these songs but they felt it wasn't what they wanted to put out and the newer songs were much better. Maybe someone deleted them on purpose. Also we've heard tracks from cig and valentines like shoplifter and lights out. I always though governator was the catalyst for the first network album

Hmm, I think the biggest thing I'm curious about is that when was Cigarettes and Valentines (the song) exactly written. I'm talking about the one that was performed in 2010 couple times and then never played nor referenced again. If that songs studio version isn't included in AI's anniversary edition, that supports my theory that the supposed Cigarettes and Valentines we've heard wasn't written until 21st Century Breakdown era. Songs existence overall is just extremely weird considering they haven't played any other songs from that album (or atleast haven't admitted X song is from C&V) and it seemed like its entire purpose was to be some extra track for Awesome as Fuck CD release. Hell, even the track itself isn't live from one show like the others. If we get studio version of that song with same lyrics and shit, then I'm even more confused about it. Why on earth would they then play it few times in 2010 and then just abandon it? Whole timeline just doesn't make any goddamn sense.

"Lots of song no one has ever heard" Demos track #7 more likely is when it's time AI version

Man do I love anniversary editions. You get shit like a '93 version of Christie Road.. in a fuckin studio!

I really hope so. 😯 Mike Dirnt said in an interview: "Lots of songs we’ve recorded in the past that no one has ever heard, things like that. Very good stuff." This is from the same link I put in my previous post. 👇 https://greenday.fm/news/billie-joe-announces-american-idiot-documentary/

We have hope in a potential C&V release! But I can't be so sure, can I?

Not one of a kind, but exclusive to the contest for a donation

The 21st CB Billie and Tre kiss is iconic!

Nothing new but 4 months away from September so really hoping to hear an announcement or teaser sooner or later

On this day 15 years ago (12 May 2009), Green Day played the 700-capacity Le Trabendo in Paris. That was a very tiny show considering how huge they were then. More photos: There was also this press conference in Paris, although I'm not sure if it was on May 12th or the day before/after. More photos: 26 years ago (1998), they played in Lewiston, ME, on the Nimrod Tour. These photos are from a radio interview that day. More photos: And 32 years ago (1992), they played the Ritz Diner in Edmonton, Canada on the Kerplunk Tour. "The first time Green Day came to Edmonton they played 2 shows; first show was Sunday matinee/all ages at the Bronx and an acquaintance booked this show for a couple days later. This person didn't have the best reputation, so I helped him with shows to ensure that bands got paid and that flyers were put up. When the band arrived they weren't happy about the show being 18+ and that the bar was a strip club on the days we didn't have shows. They were cool to me about the situation and an all ages show was quickly put together at the Ritz Diner, just down the road. The roadie for GD on this tour was Aaron Cometbus, and I was quite excited to meet him and buy a zine. ...The Ritz show was so tiny, not a lot of people." — Shaun Cowan

They’re gonna introduce themselves as Allahs favorite band, play the sweet children EP, yell thanks for the oil money, and exit stage left!

Any more news on the documentary? https://greenday.fm/news/billie-joe-announces-american-idiot-documentary/ Saw this and saw that they will be reissuing the album for the anniversary and there will be some new songs we've never heard before. (I don't know if anyone said this yet)

Cool poster! Is it one of a kind, because I've never seen it before.

And? The reason that isn't being discussed is it isn't the topic of discussion

I know some of you are very passionate about this topic, but this is getting out of hand. I don't agree with the rights in Dubai either, but just let them play their fucking show.

Y’all have a problem with them playing a country that has a questionable human rights record, but won’t dare speak out against the reason for the poor record. It’s because of a far right, oppressive, violent religion. That’s the reason for poor human rights issues.

On this day 7 years ago, Green Day played a second night in Sydney, Australia on the RevRad Tour. More photos: 15 years ago, they played 10 songs from 21st Century Breakdown, then American Idiot, on the Canal+ TV show in Paris. 19 years ago, they played in Cedar Rapids, MI on the American Idiot Tour. I'm learning the names of lots of random American cities. And 22 years ago, they played in Woodlands, TX on the Pop Disaster Tour. Another photo:
