Just now getting around to listening to all the new stuff (I'm a patient fan, I like to take my time). I thought it was interesting that more of the demos were written in first person. I always wondered if was referring to the band itself. It just seemed like such a pointed line to write at that point in their career. They were in such a vice at the time. The subgenre you helped pioneer is still popular but you need to evolve as artists and if you go back and make Dookie Pt. II it might be well received but it's an implicit admission that 'yep, these are all the tricks we have in the bag'. Especially after making such a musically expansive record as Nimrod. Warning didn't set the world on fire but they'd be damned if they'd play to type and do what's been done. That's why they've had staying power in the long term.

Love that Billie never ever gets tired of playing shows lol. Looking good in the red with the floof! Here's to more Coverups shows

okay! not sure if they're good enough, but... i like his smile... that's pretty cute, right? i dunno what billie fangirls like. im just here to feed. oh well

If that’s true…honestly it’s better than New Years Rev

Today I caught my husband singing Warning to himself (the song, not the whole album 🤣). He admitted that it’s a good song! Now I am proud! It’s a long way but we’ll get there…

Not exactly an item but I didn’t find another thread to post it: Back from the tattoo artist, I finally got the heart grenade. Very happy with it!😊

Alice Baxley posted this new pic on her Instagram story (looks to be from when they filmed the Bobby Sox video)

Guys, I'm still very hopeful and wholeheartedly rooting for a live album next year, so sometimes I go online and look for random news about it, and I found something cool! We saw Ryan Mackfall's post about being part of the camera crew at the 2024 Wembley show, and now I found his Tumblr page where he shares a bit more. He said it was Chris Dugan who brought this project to him, and the key phrase for me is "I can't reveal where or how the results will be released," so yes, we'll have it! I'll leave the original link here, where you can read and find some cool photos, including one of a fan being interviewed, which makes me believe we'll have something in the style of BIAB. I was there and would be dope to relive it again https://thatfilmduderyan.com/post/768859390089560064/green-day-wembley-stadium

Every time I listen to Nimrod or it comes on shuffle! It's the perfect interlude Also kind of obsessed with the video of them playing Nimrod songs to an interviewer in the studio before they're completely finished. Last Ride In with some extra jazzy bits and Tre goofing around in the background while Billie listens intensely lol (it's the first song they play him at the start of the video)

I couldn't wait til Xmas so I got myself the Warning 25 CD boxset and the Dookie dog. He's pretty cute, but unless future figures are actually of the band, I don't plan to get more.

Do you know that feeling when you wake up and have the urgent need to listen to certain songs? It’s RevRad day today here!🥰 Besides I remembered that about this time two years ago I bought the tickets for the GD Berlin show of 2024. (Because I wanted to see the opening band, shame on me…😅) How could I know then what a fascinating journey would begin this way? Bit sentimental today, sorry… Have a nice Sunday, all of you!

I don’t know… I really love Ballyhoo, Belushi and Underdog. So for me the deluxe was worth it. As for the live show I so much hope for a Saviors live album plus DVD! Maybe for Christmas…?

This was a fine boxset. Demos are interesting. Otis mixes are good. The live show....it was good but jeez does it need some editing. I do not want 11 minutes of Knowledge. I also don't want long pauses with faint crowd cheering where I assume the guys are doing something on stage. Watching it is fine but whatever is happening doesn't translate well for an audio recording. Some of the live songs I loved like Castaway and Blood Sex and Booze but everything else? Eh.... It really wore out its welcome. Also I compared warning 25 to the other sets and while warning 25 is solid I'm so happy for the price drop because the bonus goodies are lacking. The dookie one had so much cool random stuff that made the sticker price worth it. I'm always happy for a green day anniversary release but I agree they should take a break from it. They're starting to feel a bit undercooked (cough cough Saviors deluxe).

I don’t play bass and don’t want to buy one. But watching Mike talk about it is nice…

That is maximum floof

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSJzjrGjAd_/?igsh=MWttbXFsd3pjZmZsYw== And here they are! Billie looks great!😍 (Not the Fangirls Thread, I know)

and here he is to feed once again! didn't think it'd be so soon, but... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOR9mPniCFe/?igsh=MWplNmZxdWx6NjA1aw== look at his smile! and he looks so tiny here too 🥹 aww...

This thread has been much too quiet! I‘m watching the following on repeat at the moment: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRbXbj5DfP_/?igsh=MTJrc2V4YWIzcnd2Zw== 😍😍😍

As a huge fan of a good Billie-Mike bromance moment, I can say this is true, but also that bar is not very high

I think 21st Century Breakdown will be the best anniversary release…maybe we get Olivia? Or Dreamcatcher? They wrote over 40 songs and the live at fox theatre where they played the full album would be sick. High quality version of restless heart syndrome?!?! Can’t wait.

The remaster sounds great, the demos are pretty standard but have some highlights. Church On Sunday demo is a big stand out for me despite not being very different from the final version. Wish the vocals on Jackass demo were louder because I really can't make out any of the different lyrics at all. I like the Otis mixes and love the idea of them overall, but I don't seem to be as hyped on these as some others have been. Macy's Day Parade is great and Waiting is good, but I can't help but feel that the feedback on the guitar detracts from Waiting in certain spots. Particularly after the long pause. Not having everything kick in altogether loses a bit of punch. Still need to dig into the live show more. Overall, a solid box set. Probably the least interesting overall (excluding Insomniac's anniversary release) and my least favorite, but again the remaster alone was worth it. Sounds phenomenal. Current ranking for anniversary box sets would probably be Nimrod, American Idiot, Dookie, Warning.

Yes! Really loved these two demos (especially Misery), with the half-baked lyrics and Billie (I think) being like "it's the bridge" in the middle of Misery Loved it. I know everyone is obsessed with the Otis mix of Macy's Day Parade, and I love it too, but I m actually obsessed with the demo. I just love it. All the sounds towards the end give it a tropical vibe (in my brain at least 😅) that reminds me of my hometown and gives me all the feels.

My partner is learning to play the saxophone, and my first reaction was to run to him and tell him, "here, you need to learn to play this now"

I don't know if it's a sarcastic remark or I'm just not getting it, but in the liner notes of the vinyl box it says "...it hurts so good that Warning's 'Blood, Sex & Booze' explored S&M - a hard-hitting theme first addressed head on by Green Day on Tré Cool's 'Tortured Love Slave'...". Written by David Wild. Did nobody went over his text? Just proves that people who threw this together didn't care enough to fact check.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DRCr-4-kbQe this may also explain why demos are missing (I.E: Warning, Waiting, Hold On and Minority)

The Coverups are playing in the West Bay Area tonight for a private show, 9PM unknown location. https://www.instagram.com/stories/greenday/3785503894173377922 Signup to RSVP for tickets. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbYq9p5YxanvWJWGbJ81s0dS75QfnGX0UeSVquiTBo_8o_HA/viewform?brid=_82FWTKMPrNYw5PGHj-bbg

Yay he does look great! The hair floof is on point!

"That time I DJ'd my sister's wedding.."

i have zero tattoos, but in january i will get 3 tattoos in a one-day-session i hope it wont hurt too much one will be the puzzle from biffy clyro, and the enter shikari triangle, and the third one being a mix of everything with green day's disappearing boy in the center (basically a guy with a "disappearing" effect) i didnt want sth that everyone has, like the heartgrenade or the dookie letters etc (still cool tattoos!), and i feel deeply connected to the disappearing boy song, so i choose this for my first green day tattoo (wont be the last one probably) 😊

Hell, Spotify thinks I'm 79.

Father of All is turning 6 next year....so we're getting a deluxe edition....right? 👀

I was just watching a new David Bowie documentary on Netflix (recommend btw) and I noticed it was a Live Nation production just like NYR. I would be fine with this movie getting a Netflix deal and just showing there.

Agreed, New Years Rev is an awful title.

I do think its Billie i was just being funny haha. Wow, I was hesitant about posting the because i thought it was cheesy but it started a whole speculation

When you are bothered again and again by those Reddit folks spelling Billie‘s name Billy!😡

Wow, has to be the most intense performance of it I've seen

Yes, that Holiday performance is great! The show must have been shortly after rehab, right? On YouTube I‘ve just found the full performance of Brutal Love 😃:

It was the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia in 2013. I remember because of the shirt! I've only seen Billie wearing it once and I think it's because the sleeves kept getting in the way of him playing guitar and he had to keep pushing them back up. Crazy the things you remember I made a post about it a little while back if anyone is interested https://www.instagram.com/p/DMVnKa1iKiY/?igsh=MTNoa3plemt5aXN5NA== This was one of my favourite parts - Billie Joe did not forget the words to Holiday tonight

I don’t know if anyone can understand that but it just fascinates me to see so much raw emotion expressed on stage. It’s awesome…

Brutal Love live is the best

The last thing I bought was the Saviors Limited Edition Zentrope Picture Disc.

They should get media un-training and just start being wildly chaotic every interview.

It would have been an interesting addition if it was the whole album of an Otis mix instead of just the two tracks. Nice to get an album remaster nonetheless. It's great we got demos, but the b-sides (mostly) being a re-release from Shenanigans and International Superhits felt like a double dip.

It's a very nice looking box set and the book has a lot of cool information. Hold On was written because a friend of a friend of Billie's was dying, wow. There was a misunderstanding about the orchestral parts on the album because they thought Billie wanted Within You Without You by the Beatles when he asked for With or Without You" by U2. Haha here's the guy who wrote the notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wild

This is my first anniversary box set. I generally don't re-purchase music I already own even if it's a deluxe, remaster, etc. I just listen to the extras on streaming once or twice and then forget they exist. But for the deal on Amazon it was worth it. I've been listening to it non-stop. I put Warning on my Christmas CD list in 2000 (my parents could not be bothered to learn my taste in music, the list was necessary along with instructions on what CDs should not be bought at Wal-Mart). Of course my friends and I had already listened to it via the Napster leaks which is probably the reason I didn't go out and buy it myself when it released. I remember my boyfriend at the time telling me I was lame for liking it. I don't think I told any of my friends that I got it because when you're 16 you care way too much about what your friends think. At the time I didn't think anything could top Nimrod or Pearl Jam's Vs. as my favorite albums and Warning blew them both out of the water. It's remained my favorite album ever since.

That was printed in the original booklet; I'm fairly certain it refers to the whoa-oh-oh gang vocal section.

Maaaaan, this is so heartbreaking, I'm glad they're at least putting these box sets out now so stuff like this doesn't continue getting lost to time.
