Took these 4 years ago today. And these one year ago on Wednesday (it feels so much longer).

CHURCH ON SUNDAY CONFIRMED!!!! (I was there) Rev red and letterbomb

Rev Rad is amazing and Somewhere Now/Forever Now is the best two song combo ever

Very random but I’m so glad to see this forum is still somehow active. I’m surprise forums on the internet still exist at all 😂 I remember being here when I was in highschool, in like, 2014? I think, and using so much google translate. I can’t for the life of me remember what username I had or what email address I used, but I distinctively remember the fangirl thread lol, I was surprised that was still active as well 😂 A lot of life has happened in 10 years, I finished highschool, a masters, had 3 jobs, changed countries, came back, left again, but this summer was very hard for me, with a lot of changes, and like any other time when life was hard, I turned to Green Day for comfort. Needless to say the old Green Day obsession came back and hit full force, more than usual, because I don’t think it ever left, it just got a little quieter 😂 And I said, why the hell not, let’s make an account here and interact with the fandom for a bit, until it quiets again. Glad to see so many people still around, some usernames I even recognize haha.

Sorry if the video turned out shit, I still haven't watched it

I think that RevRad has one of the strongest openings of a Green Day album. Somewhere Now, Bang Bang and Revolution Radio are amazing!

I’m predicting an album sometime in late 2027/early 2028. There I said it.

Not to go too off topic, but if you're on the fence about mass deportations, trans rights or the genocide in Gaza, then I think you've made your choice. I'm not talking about either of you personally, but more and more these days saying you're in "the middle" just means you're on the right but are too afraid to say it.

I think we have to be ready for a prolonged quiet period. They have been touring for 18 months after all the work around releasing Saviors, they deserve time off.

Bought myself the Tré Vinyl because the trilogy is GOATED. The rest of the stuff I got for my birthday a few months ago. Gonna add patches to the jacket- just deciding on what to put where That's so cool I love foxboro hottubs!

This is why I never find cute, or adorable or romantic the videos of people doing marriage proposals during a Green Day concert I mean, I'm glad for the couples in the videos I've seen, because they seem happy and excited. But if it was me I'd be like "buddy, can't you see I'm in the middle of something here? we'll talk about this later"

When your boss is giving you a ride, and Billie's cover of I Think We're Alone Now comes on the radio and you have to bite your tongue to keep from saying, "Stop talking! Billie's on."

This photo is so cute 🥹

Made this video essay about Warning. Would really appreciate if some of you checked it out, I worked really hard on it!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DOUSfH9AcRR/?igsh=MWt4c3dkZG9sYjVtaA== This is so cool! Souvenirs from the screening. They gave out demo tapes with two songs, Basket Case and what has to be a new song by Green Day for the movie band called “Bored”. Can’t wait for someone to upload it! Update: according to someone who attended the screening, the credits reveal that Jakob wrote “Bored” https://www.reddit.com/r/greenday/s/JLfQXwMeI8

I don't care about the film but I am excited to try to spot myself in it

Is quite funny. Before the show, somebody started to play drums like a soundcheck in front of all the crowd. Then I heard a known fill. It was Haushinka. And then it WAS PLAYED. Absolutely insane. I never thought that 86 in vienna would be tied so fast lmao

I just knew the first time I heard those Eyy-Ohs he was writing a song with lines for us to sing. Sounds so good live as intended

I've never really clicked with One Eyed Bastard but damn it really does make for a fun live song. Gimme that live album

They're starting to throw in Trilogy songs!! It's only a matter of time before we FINALLY get a live version of Dirty Rotten Bastards!!!!!

I'm sorry, but if there is 5 people sitting at a table and one of them is a nazi then there's 5 nazis at that table. As @Hermione pointed out earlier, "Border Security" in practice means sending ICE gestapo squads out to rip innocent people from their families without warrants or due process, and "pro life" means forced birth. People seem to not realize how horrific this all is. Also, I find it very hard to believe people when they claim they thought Trump was only going to deport dangerous criminals because we have over a decade of racist anti-immigrant rhetoric from him at this point.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I think the forums being quiet has more to do with that than with anything the band or even the admins and users of the forums are doing or not doing. Me too! I feel on Instagram (I cannot speak to TikTok becase I have never used it) all the interactions are way more superficial, you don't really get to form online friendships on there. Also, there is so much hate in those platforms, I hardly ever read comments on any post anymore. And besides, I feel every time I comment on a public account (Green Day account, news outlet, or my favorite WeRateDogs 😅), I started getting spam or follow requests from soft porn accounts. How is me commenting that a dog is cute or that I hope Green Day plays Fancy Sauce at their next show an indicator that I want to see some lady's "sexy" pictures? So that also discourages me (and I guess others) from participating in any discussion. The forums just feel like relatively safe space, where everyone is here because they love the band, so that means we also share some common values that are openly supported by the band. And here you interact with the same group of people every time so you can form actual friendships and bonds with them that can eventually extend beyond just the shared interest in Green Day.

Personally, I don't think we should be extending olive branches to Nazis but that's just me!

Took this pic of an on fire Billie one year ago today. Seriously, how has it only been a year? Feels like forever ago.

One of my friends asked me if I knew Green Day was nominated for the VMA's and I was like "of course lol." Then he told me he was voting for them too. To my knowledge, he doesn't listen to Green Day. We have an ally, people!

Np, I was very confused lol. Context on The Black Parade: I first heard the whole thing in 2015-ish. It’s one of those albums that before I heard it, “Welcome to the Black Parade” was a running joke about emo culture for me. After hearing the whole album, it’s one of the best songs ever. I don’t think the album is quite up to AI or The Wall standards, but it is an underrated all-time great. Yep, “Still Breathing” was originally written for 5 seconds of Summer. Billie Joe decided to rework it into a song for Rev Rad, and it fit perfectly. “Are you scared to death to live?”, is, imo, the best lyric in any Green Day song, full stop. I think Rev Rad is the type of lyrically and musically the type of album that really benefits from a slower closer. “Forever Now” is an amazing song, but it’s a crazy, hectic, all over the map number. Kind of like “American Eulogy” in a lot of ways. Ending the album with it would have felt kind of abrupt to me. Live, it works great when you know there’s an encore on the way. On the album, it needs that slower ballad after it.

this feels very much like live album stuff hope so

Longshot EP or album late 2026. New Green Day early 2028.

I couldn't lol Billie isn't a centrist he's a leftist liberal and a punk. He will never be a centrist especially not at a time when the right is absolutely insane and doing horrendous damage across the earth Because you have some reasonable stances doesn't make your unreasonable and harmful stances any more justified. If you are pro what ICE is doing right now and pro forced birth and denying women bodily autonomy those are fascist stances and you can expect to be judged for them

I know for me I go through waves of being active on the forums. It's usually that I'm busy with other things or just taking a break from being online. I usually check in everyday but I may not check in with every new topic or my fave topics. The forums are definitely my favorite way to interact with other fans. I've tried other forums but they're not the same or I feel like I can't be myself there. So I'm glad GDC has stood the rest of time. Can't say the same for the blink and HIM forums I used to chat on lol

I just think chatting on the forum feels more natural, but I’m not of the TikTok generation.

For me it feels quite natural to worry about your kids, no matter what position you have in life…

It gets really quiet sometimes, of course it does, but it’s good to be able to see others are suffering through the drought too and we can commiserate with each other and if nothing else, go back to talking about Billie Joe’s hair 😂😂

They have a show in three days. They were touring and doing other stuff pretty much nonstop until the short break though. They deserved a rest

This Holy Toledo Promo, I bought it early this morning!!

First review 7/10 https://exclaim.ca/film/article/tiff-2025-green-day-new-years-rev-film-review

I'll always stand up for Ordinary World. It's in my top 15 GD songs. Like @Tre's Busted Drumkitsaid, it's like an exhale. If they ended on Forever Now, you still have a bunch of adrenaline running through you. Ordinary World allows you to breathe while letting the album come to an end. It's a fitting end to the album.

SIX DAY COUNTDOWNNNNNN!!! keep voting people!

No, but how about Worry Rock next?🥰

HAUSHINKAAAAAAAAA

I don’t think it’s a surprise that people talk politics on a forum about a punk band, the one music genre that’s all about politics? 😅 especially a band that’s where vocal about where they stand at almost every concert

I would love it, but I could see him trying something new before doing another Shot project. The songs he did for Pinhead Gunpowder sound like they could be Longshot songs so if he didn’t save them for that he’s probably not planning another album. I suppose it all depends on what the songs he writes sound like, whether he thinks they’d suit Green Day, an existing project or a new one. I imagine the songs come first then he decides where they fit.

True but it's relative. I imagine he (along with many left leaning Americans) would support US "left" parties moving further left/being closer to European left standards if that was on the table I like it. And it seems plausible since Billie seems to be a writing machine that never stops so he's gonna have to do something between albums

Wow, things went off topic very drastically, very quickly 100% I agree that no one should be extending olive branches to Nazis. That said, I don't think you can categorize every single Trump supporter as a Nazi. Even numerically, if you look at pretty much any poll in the US right now, you can see that the majority of people do not agree with indiscriminate mass deportation, and yet the majority of people who voted, voted for Trump. So obviously there are people who voted for him (many, I would say) who do not agree with mass deportation (the same can probably be said on trans rights, genocide, or any other topic under the sun, but I'll stick to the mass deportation example here). When someone says they are for "border security" that can mean a million different things for a million different people: in the far right end of the spectrum, sure you will find people who want no immigrants at all, no matter their circumstances, background, or how much they positively contribute to the country, and who think indiscriminate mass deportation is great. But for others it will mean deporting only those with a violent criminal record, for others it will be deporting anyone with a criminal record, be it violent or not, for someone else it will mean deporting people with a criminal record as well as those who entered illegally, even if they have no criminal record at all, etc etc.., and none of these people necessarily support mass and indiscriminate deportations, and you can definitely have reasonable conversations with any of them. Many of them might have voted for Trump mainly because he promised to deport criminals, and they believed that wouldn't mean mass indiscriminate deportations, or they might have voted for Trump mainly for another reason and this was just secondary. But if we just label them all as Nazis / fascist / pro mass indiscriminate deportation, we are not going to be able to communicate with them, to understand them, or much less to get them to consider switching sides. I truly do believe that the only way out of this mess is dialogue, and a dialogue where we can see nuances and not just have a binary classification where you are either a democrat or a fascist. And before anyone blames me of being "far right but too afraid to admit it", keep in mind that I am Venezuelan, and half my family is currently in the US based there an asylum seekers, and Venezuelans are the favorite target population for Trump's deportation program right now, so not only am I vehemently again mass deportation, but in the case of the US it is a very personal issue for me, one in which I have actual skin in the game. Also the comment that started all of this was someone imagining a song where Billie talks about Trump's assassination attempt, and how even though he hates the guy, he doesn't want that type of violence, and how that'd be extending an olive branch to the other side. Making a jump from that, to extending an olive branch to Nazi's, it's quite a leap in my opinion.

You could like Green Day…and also not share EVERY opinion of theirs and still be a fan and a good person.

Ever since becoming a GD fan first thing I used to do in the morning was check GDC/GDA (and again multiple times a day). For years I tried to help keep the site going updating the picture threads but right now I'm taking a complete break (more or less) from the internet plus it's been so quiet on here for a few years now. Some days I don't even check in at all anymore or on Instagram or my Tumblr

I cannot believe this had to be cancelled at this stage for a football game! Surely they are planned months in advance and if it had to be changed then it should not have been at the expense of a long planned concert which lots of people will have spent lots of money on. Shame! I am so sorry for everyone who was going.

Hell yeah, thanks for listening! Ran into some unexpected family issues and now the other Connor is on vacation. We'll be back in action early September. Wake me up when September starts?! We will cover every GD song come hell or highwater 🫡

I quite like FOAM (do I have to defend that opinion?), and when I saw a special offer in the UK store I ordered. It arrived today: the rainbow puke vinyl is awesome!😍
