This is the content I’m craving. I want two hours of this kind of footage

i know i said this in the random thoughts thread a while back but like, Green Day should pull a metallica and make every single concert in their archive available for streaming, downloading, hell id kill for live SBD All the Time on CD or vinyl

The interview will finally be released in a few hours!

Such a perfect ending to an era. This video changes the song for me. I've always felt like it was an incredibly sad song, but now its feel nostalgic, peaceful and almost happy.

This is such a deep discount even before the release date I wonder who decided to do this and why. Is it because the preorders did well or not well enough? Feels like a gift to fans in light of the current economy with layoffs and exploding healthcare costs. Much appreciated whatever the reason. I was a buyer at $49 (or whatever the original price was) and this almost seems unfair, like clearance prices, but not complaining when the cost of everything else in life is so high. I’ll take the win 💚

It's so funny when it changes from random clips to him singing the song to the camera with the hairspray Happy Halloween fangirls! Remember when Billie had the hottest Halloween costume

I think out of all the anniversary box sets (not counting Insomniac), this one might be my least favorite, but I still enjoyed it. The demos are cool and have a rougher sound to them, but I'm kinda sad we didn't get more from this era, songs like "Waiting" and the title track not having demos are also kinda weird (maybe they never got demos recorded, who knows). The Otis mixes are cool, I hope they do something like this for future anniversary box sets too (like the "Uno Dos Tre" trilogy), the Otis mix of "Waiting" might be my new favorite version of the song. The 2025 remasters are also pretty neat, the songs sound a little cleaner, it's cool to hear this album get more polish and love. The live concert is cool to have, their Japan 2001 shows are awesome, but I noticed Billie's voice sounds a bit rough in this recording. Considering the concert the next day was the Shibuya-AX show, where Billie's voice was completely shot, I wonder if he was partially sick at this show too. Pretty interesting they chose this concert to include on the box set. I'm sad "Church on Sunday" and "When I Come Around" from this show got omitted for whatever reason, I guess their recordings of the songs got messed up or something. Hopefully the bootleg show of this show turns up so we can have the full thing available again. I hope the next box set will be 21st Century Breakdown or the Trilogy!

OMG that was so sweet and Billie with the hairspray killed me . Perfect choice of song for it

I'm actually so fucking excited for this, Warning is my (current) favorite Green Day album.

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…

Would you believe my painter showed me snippets that look very like this. He’s Polish and a pal of his shot some of this I believe, he was actually there for some of the shows!

The 99 Revolutions Tour shirt is the best one. The back: Also the commemorative 21st Century Breakdown Tour shirts for each show. And it's not a Green Day shirt, but a special mention for the Longshot tour shirt that I made

Photoshot of each page so far, obviously the print is to small to read. Trying to find way to enlarge, not having much success. otherwise may need to type article for posting on here, sorry. Great photos of band though. Takes me back, 1995, what a time sharing my life with Green Day. Billie Joe quotes: "We're not coming out with some tit-and-ass beerfest. We say obnoxious things and stuff, but I'd rather have my kid go to see Offspring than Poison." "We've worked our asses off to get to where we are now, to the point where I'm probably a little bit mentally disturbed." "We can't go, 'Duh, this sucks, the people paying to see me are the kind who used to beat me up in high school. I want my mummy.'"

i found hairspray billie in the mv really cute and for a whole i thought of drawing him. here's hairspray billie

I love these bts videos, could watch this sort of stuff for hours.

First off, I want to say sorry to @solongfromthestars as I know how hard she works for us all here and that I really appreciate it, so I feel bad for taking so long to get round to posting this and know that I have missed the date for her article. I have loved the Saviors tour/album cycle right from the record release party (couldn't believe there was a store about 100 miles from us taking part) which was fun. (I walked past another store on the same day who were already selling the album and went in and told them to stop it 😂). Anyway, I loved the album from first hearing, Fancy Sauce stuck in my head as being really different and I still love it and play it regularly. Along came tour dates and I went for the show nearest me (Bellahouston) and also went for Manchester. Manchester was first and one of my GD friends came down that day to meet us go with hubby and me (she was on her own) and there we met up with @Goofygoldfish who I don't think still visits here (sorry and Hi if I'm wrong) and some more of her buddies and had a great time. The rest of the gang were all heading in nearer the front but as I am one of the older folks here and it takes me a couple of days to recover from a show at the best of times, I don't need beaten up in the pit! 😂 It was a great show, there a light shower just before the band came on but it was quite a nice night and they were in great form. The crowd was well into it, the band looked and sounded great and we got that amazing set list. Sadly no Dookie dogs, we assumed due to dodgy weather forecast. One of the my favourite songs in the whole word is Whatsername and to hear it live brought me to tears, all in all a great show. Public transport out to the ground was completely mobbed but really good natured with folk singing on the way back into the city. Second show was Bellahouston (Glasgow) which I wish they wouldn't use, transport out to it is rubbish but nevermind! It's not as big a crowd as Manchester but we met up with a few friend and although we got pretty much the same show, it was great all over again, just slightly colder 😂 I had always talked of going to see GD abroad and while I have always thought I would see them in the states, I don't plan to visit the US anymore (sorry, you are lovely people....) we decided a few days in Vienna would be nice. We had a great trip, the venue was quite easy to get to, my friend again came to meet us and off we went. The setlist was different but a great one for me, we got OEB, Forever Now, Hitchin a Ride, Stuart and The Avenue, Dilemma, Minority, She, WICA, Bobbysox and a little bit of Redundant, some of my favourite songs again so I was really happy. Seemed to me an odd venue as the bar was right in the hall so there was quite a lot of drink being consumed. I was beside a really tall, Viennese guy and he offered to put me on his shoulders 😂. I declined, would probably have killed him. It was a great show and a huge crowd walked back into the city and a bar that was just closing stayed open for us to quench or thirst for a short while. We felt a lot of places had missed a trick, yes it was Wednesday night but the band had played two nights in a row and there were lots of people about. Anyway, I'm rambling now, but I have loved this era, the band seem well and happy, have obviously enjoyed the shows themselves and I haven't even tried to keep up with all the videos folk have shared, I will watch them during the drought we are sure to undergo now as they take a well deserved rest. It will be ice when they pop up again in January, albeit I think it will be brief. I should say, we had tried to meet up with more fans after the show in Vienna but unfortunately the venue picked was totally in the wrong direction for us and I think it was for most as it didn't seem to come to anything.

Thought this might be appreciated in here too - a new photo from Alice Baxley (not on her Instagram - might be from her website - first saw it on some of the other fansites)

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)

I've just listened to the demos. Deadbeat Holiday, Castaway are the standouts. Misery has different lyrics and more raw sounding as is Jackass. Blood, Sex and Booze, Church on Sunday and Fashion Victim are similar to the final versions with few different details. Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix which is without drums and bass sounds better than the album version. I wish this was the album version. Waiting Otis Mix is cool and makes me think why Minority didn't get an Otis Mix. It would be lovely.

You joke but this is a quote from 2000 (I have a scan of the interview but can't access it at the moment because I can't get on imgur):

a bit ago i got my first green day cds: saviors, american idiot, 1039/sosh, nimrod, and dookie around june this year i thought of listening to all of them in full for once! i know streaming exists, but i like to listen to new albums on physical if i can. maybe tease with a few on streaming of course, just not the full thing since i have time, i'll finally be able to listen to them all especially without extra distractions around me with all the probably 100 apps on my computer compared to just a booklet, cover art, and back cover. and that also means i'll finally be able to listen to welcome to paradise without my friend bugging me all the time. unfortunately saviors will have to wait i only have so much time and stamina to just stare at billie's handwriting...

This is the most singles Green Day have ever put out for an album, right? it gets tricky with the "promo singles" and "other charting songs" but gosh darn, no matter what you count or don't count - it's a lot. Dream, Brains, Dilemma, Bastard, Sox. Corvette Summer was a promo single. Smash it Like Belushi and Ballyhoo were the singles from the deluxe version. Suzie Chapstick feels like a single. 1981 and Goodnight Adeline charted. Breakdown had about 8 songs that charted some kind of way, but yeah. Saviors was the gift that kept on giving.

This really is to be appreciated!👏 Here the non-fan husband ("Saviors is a really good album but I don't need the rest...") actively looked for Holiday on Spotify and listened to it! No deep cuts though...

Maybe the best music video I've seen from them in a long time

I can’t help myself, this video belongs here. The boys are just too cute in it. I need to watch this on repeat!❤️🥰❤️

You don't need to apologise for anything! Deadlines can never be right for everyone. Thank you for sharing regardless 🩷 I'm so glad we all got to hear Whatsername! That Lyon show will always hold a special place in my heart not only because the show was amazing, but because the vibe was amazing. Thanks for being my gig buddy at such a special show and thanks for sharing your story! As wonderful as these stories are, I feel that it wouldn't be fair to add them because I've already told several people outside of GDC that they're too late. It will also get me into the territory of constantly editing the article because then it would be understandable for someone else to ask for theirs to be added. Sorry! I think they'll actually get more attention here anyway, since people have already read the article and won't be expecting an update. A big thank you to everyone who has shared stories and photos. This thread will always be open for anyone who wants to share something about the tour 🩷

I love these box sets, in particular for live tracks from previous live shows, I just can't help it, I'm so crazy about GD live there's nothing like it. I'm all for streaming music but live stuff is generally only available on record. Just listened to Blood, Sex and Booze (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, from March 2001). Released today. Holy shit that was awesome. Amazing quality. Like to close my eyes and pretend I'm there with all the fans. Can't wait for the box set to be released to hear rest of show. Thanks GD ❤️

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.

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

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.

Damn I love this band

My $17 Amazon box set arrived today! I noticed that all the B-sides are mixed much quieter than the Shenanigans version. All the demos are like this too. Top is Outsider from the box set and bottom is from Shenanigans CD.

Just listened to the demos: Most of them are final versions, just like the demos from American Idiot. Exception is Misery, which has different lyrics on verses, almost like placeholders for a final song. The demos sound more 90's Green Day, louder guitars and slightly fast tempos. Waiting otis mix is awesome and I wonder if all those guitars were recorded back then and discarded on the final mix Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix is like the acoustic songs from Saviors deluxe, they only removed bass and drums from the track Maria is the single version

Walmart has it for 17 right now also

CD Box Set price error? Amazon has it for $17. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTMXCCTM

Well I was 15 when I first got into Green Day and since I made it my occupation to get all of their albums and my family could not keep up with which ones I already had and which I didn't, they all took to getting me "similar bands" albums for every birthday, Christmas or special occasion. I could just imagine them walking into a record store and asking the staff for their recommendation of bands a 15 year old girl into Green Day might enjoy. This resulted in my getting a lot of Blink 182, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, and other bands I cannot remember, and me hating them all because I just felt so patronized I have since revisited a few of them and still don't like them (although I have really grown to appreciate MCR's Black Parade since my friend made me listen to it to get me to go with him to their show next year, but I am still firmly not into the rest of their stuff). At that time instead I turned to discovery older punk and older rock on my own, and I did become a huge fan of those. But I do wonder if the situation had been reversed, and my auntie had given me a The Who album for Christmas when I was 15 instead of Good Charlotte, if I'd be a huge fan of Good Charlotte right now Anyways, very verbose answer, sorry. I really like Radiohead, but I would not think they are at all similar to Green Day

Lately when I get to my bus stop in the morning, I think back to missing my bus for the sake of the Green Day scramble and trying to win entry to this event. Stressful but kind of fun!

Blink 182 have been considering similar to GD if I'm correct ??? If so, I would add them to your list. Although, I used to like Blur back in '90s but wouldn't have put them in same category as GD. I have this strange reaction that every time I even see the name Oasis, I wanna throw up. 🤮

I picked up an old Music Week magazine from 2012 with one of the Green Day trilogy photo shoot pics on the front. There's no article inside but there's a full page advert for the show at Shepherds Bush Empire which I've never seen before. I didn't even think it had been advertised at the time. Will have to post a photo when I get the chance.

I knoww! One of my favorite parts I wish I was able to be on here for Halloween yesterday! Can you all believe it is already November?! Yes, that Billie costume has to be one of my favorites ❤️ . I think I had it as my wallpaper on my phone at some point 😅

I love it! And I like that not only did the chorus become a song a couple years later but the melody of the verses was used 21 years later (Kill Your Friends from The Longshot)

This Japanese promo called "Singles", new and sealed!!

I want to play too!🙃 For me the worst song ist Drama Queen: those lyrics are so cringe I can't stand to listen to the song (even if musically it's okay). And Drama Queen is closely followed by Amy which I dislike as a whole. But all the rest of the songs are fine for me I think... Edit: I was thinking about Haushinka, the starting point of this discussion. I didn’t care much for the song until I saw the videos of Chile some weeks back. And I began to appreciate it. Sometimes a live version can make a difference!

I tried to contribute to this but I couldn't finish my story on time... However, I wanna share it!! Well guys, my name is Ricardo and I'm a proud Green Day fan from Chile, since 2000. I went to the GD show in Santiago, Chile on August 30th. Although this was the shortest GD gig I've been, it was the perfect mix of my experiences lived from the first two shows I attended in Chile (2010 and 2017). Why do I say this? Well, in 2010 I was so hyped for my first time to watch Green Day live, 10 years waiting for that moment and the show BLEW MY MIND, almost 3 hours the band playing, so many classics and deep cuts like Geek Stink Breath, Nice Guys Finish Last, Stuck With Me, Paper Lanterns, Burnout, 2000 LYA, etc. However, I was alone. I met some people and we shared our expectations prior to the show. Then in 2017, the band played in the same place as 2010 (Bicentenario de la Florida Stadium, Santiago Chile) and I enjoyed it, too. However, I didn't feel the same impact I think. On the other hand, they played one of my favorite songs ever... WAITING. Also they played Knowledge. The best thing for me in that show it was I met some Internet friends from Chilean GD forurms and GD Chile fan club. I got some pictures with those friends. Finally, my third show, Saviors era... What can I say when the word "Special" is not enough to describe my feelings about how glad I was to be there? Now I'm 41, I've been a fan for 25 years and I had the chance to go to the show with one of my dearest cousins, Julio (or "Julín", as he likes to be named). I love him as a big brother, he's 43. Thanks to him, when I met Green Day music, he taught me about punk bands like Ramones and other punk bands from Chile and Argentina when we were teenagers. He is not a Green Day fan, but he loves Dookie album since that times. However, he wanted to go and listen to the band live for first time. He just knew Dookie tracks and some of the biggest hits like BOBD, Brain Stew, Holiday, American Idiot, Hitchin' a Ride, Minority, etc. The show was shorter but I was so happy to watch Green Day, they looked so inspired and enjoying to be there with all of us. When Bohemian Rhapsody started, it was a huge "sing along" moment, then my cousing enjoyed the Punk Bunny show with Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop. Then, Green Day came out and we reacted with all the exciment , singing, jumping like we were teenagers again. When the show almost ended and Billie started to play Time of your life I cried like a little boy meanwhile I was trying to sing and hug my cousin, telling him: "Thank you Julín to be here, living this moment with me". He was telling the whole night and the day after how good the concert was, how good green day are live, and stuff like that. He got a great impression from the band. Also, the best moment of the show... HAUSHINKA!! GOD I WAS YELLING SO LOUD!! What a deep cut?! From my favorite album, NIMROD!! Splendid surprise from Green Day to all of us, the Chilean fans!! After the show, I met again with some friends (the same ones from 2017 show), and they took some photos. Then we had to leave, because my cousing had to be at his job in a restaurant. There was a The Doors tribute band playing there. However, before we left the Estadio Nacional, I wanted to give a souvenir to my cousin and bought something for me, too. So, I bought a T-shirt for him and a Hoodie for me. He wore that T-shirt with proudness. With no doubt, one of the best times of my life and being a Green Day fan!! I'm the guy with the blue jacket and next to me is my cousin.

New photo of Billie from Alice Baxley popping up on the fansites. Can't see it on her Instagram. Might be from her website?

Another album another tour. So many since the first in '91, and all so special with unforgettable memories. And Saviors is no different. So many special moments. This was the first, when it all begins, the journey goes on. Québec July '23, first song from album performed live, 1981. This view of the band like so many times, not near the stage, but sharing the elation surrounded by adoring fans. There's no better place to be. Even when things go wrong. That's live music for you. Prior to album release I was so lucky to catch the band in London pub, up close and intimate, took me back to those live shows in tiny venues in '91. After high of local pub, the low of the planned live show in London with band being sick. So concerned and worried, not knowing if they were ok until next day. Still got to see them later though on Saviors tour. The set lists was something else. And as always, those special moments meeting fans and making new friends, and meeting up with old friends from previous tours. And then, as always, expect the unexpected. Up pops a new Pinhead Gunpowder album. Just like the '90s when new GD album arrived PG not far behind. Not to forget the 2 aniv' box sets. Another high, got to see Coverups for first time. One thing I do want to mention which I think is important. I want to say a big thank you so much to everyone on here. I feel as though I've been on tour with the band. Thanks to everyone sharing their photos, experiences at shows, and set lists. From Quebec at the start to San Bernardo at the end. Can't wait till the next time. Thanks GD you did it again. Lov yer. ❤️
