Well that was amazing! Great show, personally I’d have like more Billie, less Courtney but clearly the crowd were very excited when she appeared. Had a nice chat and selfie with Bill as they were finishing up, lovely guy, told us that they were going down like flies when they cancelled the gig in November, only 2 out of whole team left standing and Billie could barely speak, they felt so bad cancelling. Never dreamed I’d get so close to such gorgeousness, the closer I get, the more amazing he gets! ❤️ . Almost walked smack into Adie as she was leaving, they were right in front of us but disappeared really quickly and then a lux looking people carrier appeared so we assumed that was her. Folk were calling out to her and she was smiling at everyone.17 points

That was wild. Incredible seeing Billie in such a legendary venue in my own country. Even when we were splayed on the amps and stage, me and everyone around me was smiling and laughing. I'd normally roll my eyes at someone inviting themselves onstage but Maddie was amazing when she got up there! And I will gladly wait in the rain all day just to see Love is for Losers any time. I won't spam it like I did last time, but I will say LOVE IS FOR LOSERS! Again! In my country Billie "forgot" those lyrics again, by the way. Summer of '69 was another highlight. What an anthem. Billie's reaction to an "I can sing Bowie" sign was "yeah I can sing Bowie too" which was hilarious but then he gave the fan a chance to sing anyway. If I had to choose, I think the Garage show was my favourite of the two, but of course I almost loved them both equally. For anyone who cares (not me, I must admit), the songs Courtney Love sang were professionally recorded. The reaction to her here was definitely cooler than the one at the Garage, haha. We were speculating the guest might be Tiffany but no. Also! The staff of the 100 Club deserve praise for being so kind, patient and acknowledging the time fans spent queuing. They took responsibility for the queue when private security tried to move us on, and I think if any drama had gone down they would've handled it. Very rare to get that from venue staff. Whoever gave me the Coverups pin badge because I was at the front of the queue, thanks! On another note, I got my Big Camera in, so photos are coming along with a GDA recap of both shows I'm on the National Express home right now though and I might fall asleep before I can edit and post any. The lighting was also terrible for photography and I was trying not to be too obvious (felt a bit rude), so I don't know how many of my photos are any good but yeah I'll share them anyway.12 points

Listening to an old interview w/Rolling stone from the RedRad era and some interesting takeaways considering where Green Day are now: The interviewer said he loved the Trilogy and told Billie there were lots of great songs on there that maybe weren't appreciated at the time because of all the content, but will eventually find their audience He was right! Now it's no longer a hot take that the Trilogy is actually good, especially in light of FOAM. But it's really nice to see more folks coming around to it, flaws and all. I really liked the Trilogy when it came out, but started to wonder if it was just my bias at play when so many people came out against it. It's just nice to think about how the Trilogy is perceived now versus its release and even during the RevRad era. Billie also gives love to the trilogy saying they were fun records to make and he loves the songs. Soooooo why don't they pull out a few on tour? Just saying... 👀 Billie says "Gosh" a lot in interviews I noticed all his "Goshes" during recent interviews, but he has a big one here when talking about Still Breathing. Just funny to note because most people talk about his "Y'knows" Billie said Still Breathing isn't only about his rehab I think we all know this, but it was interesting to hear him talk about how he wanted to write a song that could apply to anyone struggling. He said he didn't "want to be greedy" with it. I just thought it was an interesting way to frame that. They talk about the origins of Revolution Radio (the song) and how it was inspired by the Ferguson protests and the start of the Black Lives Matter movement It's just wild how relevant this song is and how it's a topic Billie would talk about again on FOAM in Graffitia when the Black Lives Matter movement really exploded. And one that he would talk about AGAIN on Saviors. It's crazy to think about and it's just sad that really nothing has changed. Billie talks about missing touring, the interviewer said it's their longest break between tours, and Billie described it as being unemployed and questioning your purpose Boy, does this sound weird post COVID! If only Billie knew what was coming... It's a nice listen! Nothing we don't know now but it's kind of nice to look back at the RevRad era via this interview and see what's changed and what hasn't. I just really loved the observations about the trilogy because it was spot on! Check it out here if you want to listen:12 points

Before everyone starts referencing the One Minute Left joke, these are the AWARDS, not the festival. Two completely different beasts. Either way, I am really hyped!! I just checked, and the boys are also nominated for "Alternative Artist of the Year"11 points

It was a really fun night, echo what someone else said felt super intimate, a little unpolished in a good way and for me I’ll never get to see Billie/Jason up close like that in such a setting so it was deffo worth going. Setlist I think needs a little more refinement over here and Billie kinda acknowledged it a bit at one point saying “we’re gonna play some more contemporary stuff” before blasting into Last Nite. It really was great fun when they played the big songs everyone knew, some of the punk stuff was lesser known amongst the crowd, and was slightly surprised they didn’t cover Oasis or The Rollling Stones. Some nice surprise in the set though, Ever Fallen in Love & Courtney Love joining was great. Do I need to see it again? Probably not, if it was near me I’d deffo go again though and I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to attend tonight.11 points

Love these behind the scenes clips! Side note about this song in general: Every time I hear it, it makes me smile. There's just something about it ❤️10 points

Yeah. Their promotion felt really geared toward people who were already fans and hyped for Saviors. Which we all very much appreciated and clearly enjoyed a lot! It was for us, and I felt it. We got so many great interviews and stuff like the listening parties were so cool. But instead of spending energy on things like the EA Sports party, which was announced as some sort of promo gig but ended up being private/not Saviors-heavy, I would’ve preferred a late night appearance or two. The Jimmy Fallon thing was cute, but didn’t really showcase the new album. Similarly, Billie’s podcast appearances were great, but barely touched on the new album at all, which seems to sorta defeat the purpose. It felt like they were everywhere the first couple weeks in January, which was so special for us as fans, but it didn’t feel like targeted stuff that would make a splash outside of the fandom, other than Dick Clark. SNL and a late night talk show would’ve been ideal, particularly a week or two AFTER the album came out to keep pushing it. There are also a lot of fun YouTube series run by different magazines and stuff that could’ve been cool promotion for the younger crowd (I personally love watching those autocomplete interviews, lie detector tests, etc. — quick fun entertainment). Or imagine them covering a current popular artist on something like BBC One Live Lounge? That would make waves! Promoting it before it’s out only goes so far. I don’t think they should run themselves ragged or anything, but 2-3 more strategically placed performances post-release would’ve helped a lot, I think.10 points

Green Day can also use this as publicity for Saviors. A simple IG post calling attention to the 1 billion feat, and work in bringing all their songs to a billion, including the songs on their new album, Saviors. Boom.9 points

Hey, so I work in live sports television (Bally Sports, specifically, Cleveland Guardians and Cavs) and one of our March Artists of the Month is Green Day! Interestingly enough the song we're allowed to use is Corvette Summer, so basically you'll hear this song used in highlights and stuff during the broadcast. Kind of an odd choice to use for the NBA, but could definitely see this working for MLB/summer. Here's the email I got.9 points

This isn't an alternative to Green Day doing something. It's just something Billie's doing in his time off while in England instead of watching TV or sitting in a pub lol. Seems like they're having some downtime after the album release/before touring, or any one of them might have other commitments who knows. They can do as much or little promotion as they want, they're not a new struggling band.9 points

This is great. The article linked has even more stuff: https://pnn.phmschools.org/news/meet-gods-favorite-directors-ryan-baxley-and-brendan-walter/?doing_wp_cron=1708438342.3968710899353027343750 For the Bobby Sox video: “Billie had suggested he wear his shirt from the now 30-year-old music video “When I Come Around,” but unfortunately, that outfit didn’t make the cut. “ That would have been cool. I wonder if he’s really talking about the striped Longview shirt that we know he still has Also this: “Ryan Baxley will be going on the Saviors tour this summer with Green Day. The band is considering more videos for the ‘Saviors’ era in the future, both Walter and Baxley would love to tackle the track 1981 as a possible next music video although nothing is set and stone.”9 points

I wonder what Green Day (or Warner) will do with the $3.50 coming their way from 1,000,230,452 streams of Basketcase on Spotify. In all seriousness, a billion streams is a big deal. Starting out as the rickety story of Swank and Houston, Basketcase was rewritten and given the Cavallo treatment to become one of the biggest songs in the world. As a weirdo who likes a good deal of other Green Day records more than Dookie, even I recognize this song's appeal. It's relatable, funny, sad, rockin' - it really is a perfect song and deserves more plays than "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. Anybody here NOT like Basketcase? I'm all about some hot takes so I won't give you crap about it.8 points
