This boxset... I dreamt for years getting this!! By far the best Limited "Book" Editions on Green Day discography EVER!!❤️ (AI, 21stCB, Trilogy and RevRad... and I got all of them)

Well, I did my part…!😄

I picked up the rainbow puke FOAM vinyl! I was surprised to see them still being sold on the web store so I wanted to snag it before they’re out of print.

I remember when i heard Trés voice for the first time and i genuinely did a double take and said "What the fuck is he made out of helium"

I feel like they're on a roll lately with these big numbers lately. 👀 I really dislike that it's a Spotify thing though.

I like thinking of those pictures, lol. I wish i could watch that episode, but I can't cuz i cant find it anywhere (unless i resort to pirating again...) edit: i found it. God i love pirating

Just reading your post has given me flashbacks, because I was at the first night too! Your experience was very similar to mine.🥰 You're right, it was a baking hot day and there was hardly any shade to sit. I'm kind of surprised that we didn't all pass out with the heat and excitement.😆 We didn't get into the front circle because we didn't get there early enough to get a wristband, but we had no clue about any of that because it was our first time seeing GD!lol! We ended up somewhere at the bottom of a slope towards the sides. I remember just standing on tiptoe when GD came on the stage and losing my shit with excitement, because I could see them in front of me, (admittedly at a bit of a distance and quite small) with my own eyes. It was the best feeling!😁 Just to make sure I captured some photographic evidence, I took a disposable camera with me.🫣😅 I still have the pictures somewhere, and I think I was very pleased because you can actually see tiny GD specks that weren't captured from the screens!lol! One other souvenir that I have is the tour programme that I purchased. I remember sitting reading it in the heat, waiting for GD to hit the stage I also vividly remember looking up at the sky and seeing a helicopter overhead, which might have been the one doing some of the aerial shots. I also remember that when we were wandering around during the afternoon, we walked past them interviewing/recording some of fans that they show in the dvd. Of course, we didn't have a clue what was going on.😆 When the show finished I was on such a high. On the way home, I was desperately trying to figure out a way that I could do the Sunday night. Obviously I couldn't, but that was the night I properly fell in love GD.😅 I feel soo incredibly lucky that BIAB was my first GD show. It was so special, and to have it captured on dvd is amazing. I haven't watched it in ages, but I really feel like a re-watch is in order now.😂 I have to admit, some of the fast cut aways are slightly jarring for me, but I still love it.

(over) Caffeinated Shower Thoughts 1.) My bathroom towel has seen some shit. 2.) Why does hot water + caffeine turn into philosophy? 3.) I can see water, but can a fish see air? 4.) How tf do you spell “caffeine?” 5.) Caffeine is the only thing keeping this band together. (i am the band) 6.) My thoughts are measurably louder than the water – I think. 7.) Would it be ethical to charge my dryer rent, if I hang dry everything? (I got this email, these are not my shower thoughts )    

So are we speeding up a Viva Death song before the next album comes out or are we going with a different artist this time? Sound the alarm because everything is tictoc or whatever he said.

Just remembered that Billie Joe played Charlie Chaplin in an episode of Drunk History. Some of the new fans here might get a kick of seeing it if they can find it!

It’s not just you. People have been saying that all these years… 😂

I will be thinking about this one a lot

I have Letterbomb as my ringtone . Idk, I thought it was fitting, I guess lol. Your spelling is pretty accurate, actually; I knew what you were talking about before you even said it was the riff .

I added your mom to my concert tracking website.

You are right about that. I hadn't realised people didn't like long songs until about half a year ago...

Yes, I got it too. It looks so cool!

Good riddance is your ideal go and cry song and you have american idiot as your ringtone so that whenever someone calls you it goes BOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWBOWWOWNOWNOW BRRRRR (My attempt at spelling out the american idiot riff)

I am absolutely not finishing this today but happy st patricks day idk

I love Underoath! I have never heard that version before! Ew . It is very awkward, and the lyrics are now incomplete. I completely agree with this. I never listen to the radio edit versions, and I don't know anyone who does.

Time for some Trilogy vibes…😊

Is everyone in a mask green day at this point

I have no idea if i'm allowed to say this but he kind of looks like putin. I dont know if thats just me

Omg Mike, your hair! https://www.instagram.com/stories/greendayinc/3857263585731070172?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=ODlnZzhuaHpkdnVp

Speaking of ringtones, i have touch me idiot, one of those ringtones green day had on their old site, as my ringtone on my phone... (its true, i never touch my phone anymore)

Ad bot

yea lol same.. i love them tho ^^ i tortured my old class by adding master of puppets and stuff to some class playlist when we were like 6 years old it was rlly funny XD

Yes, it is amazing but it’s also loooong. You need patience and many people don’t have it.

JoS only 250 mil... dont get me wrong, that is BIG!! But i thought there'd be more streams for such an amazing song, lol

For me personally, it's purely nostalgia. Even back in the day, I vastly preferred the album version of Holiday (or even the Sessions @ AOL live version). It's a weird feeling of there no longer being any trace of a piece of media you used to regularly consume. I know people in the wider internet have their own lost media searches for station bumpers or SpongeBob commercials, but my white whale is this damn edit.

My one and only exception to that is "I Want to Break Free" by Queen. For whatever reason, the song on the album is about 3 minutes long and cuts out large chunks of instrumentation that, frankly, the song kinda doesn't work without. I think it kinda doesn't work even with them, but it's really weird getting a 3-minute album cut then a 4:30 radio edit. Gotta wonder what was going through heads there.

70 songs but when the box set comes out it's just a demos of the songs we've heard before, lol. They've probably reworked a lot of these into other things or are holding onto them until the year 4,000. How awesome would it be if they actually had all 70 in a deluxe version? oh man.

Has anyone heard anything specific about side projects coming up between now and between Green Day working on a new album? I hope it’s the Longshot or something new.

It's funny that during the emo/pop punk boom of the 2000s, pop radio tried to minimize screams and guitars where possible. Taking out solos and bringing down the guitar in the mix was normal for the time, and ridiculous in hindsight. As for screams, an example is Underoath's "Reinventing Your Exit." The song is primarily screams, so taking them out just leaves weird empty space.

Masterpiece

^yup, that's definitely Billie playing that microtonal craziness 😅

So you guys know how tre cool said no man can eat 50 eggs? Clearly, he isn't implying that you can't eat more than 50 eggs; he's implying you can't stop eating at 50 eggs... right? So if i do the math correctly... floor(2+3(23/2)×9)÷6−1 (super dumb way of saying 50 + 1)... I can actually eat 51 eggs!, hell, even floor(2+3(23/2)×9)÷6 (super dumb way of saying 50 + 2) eggs! I have finally figure out tré cool

I've been slowly building it up as a fun/visual way to document my concert history & see my friends' show reviews. Check it out if you're interested @ encoreapp.live - free & easy!

Here’s another video clip someone just posted that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before

https://greenday.fm/audio/demos/ Quote from greenday.fm, "Demo leaked in Feb's 2009, with alternative lyrics and a piano intro". See link, 2nd entry down. I love demos, with alternative arrangements and those with alternative lyrics. Must admit I prefer album version I'll wager if they release a 20th anniversary box set in 2009 of 20th C, this will be one of the demos included.

Oh yeah, it definitely looked cool! She said it was a 20 minute photoshop job though, lol. But theres quite a few people that believe the unbelievably fake news article screenshots she makes so i guess that says she should work for the band...

the billieball

Not sure how I've never seen this before. I don't think the raw demo sound suits the song well, and I definitely like the original intro more in the context of an album and show opener. If they ever randomly decide to whip this one out in the middle of a show (where there is Forever Now, there is hope), this intro would suit it better.

On the subject of "lost" media I swear there was a leaked version of 21st Century Breakdown not long before it came out where the acoustic guitar intro was a piano instead.

I have three extra tickets to this if anyone is interested. center balcony

Well, if you speak about remixes from Nimrod era, these are the best ones!! (And I really wanted them on Nimrod XXV) And, this has nothing to do with Nimrod, but I wanted to include it here... shitty movie, amazing remix!!

By the way, I remember on eBay there are many post selling CD from radio stations (you know, singles basically) and there are many cases in which they include radio edits/mixes. For example, this has the radio version for Time of your life:

Well, it's really common that certain countries like France or Denmark has rare edits for Green Day songs. I know there is another Radio Edit for Oh Love which lenght is just 3 minutes. Also, there is a rare radio edit for When I come around which was in a Radio Promo CD from a Mexican Radio station called "Radio Activa". Unfortunately, The song at the beggining is watermarked. Also, I would dare to say the song 21st Century Breakdown has another Radio Edit which is a "Lost media". I remember it has the intro part with acoustic guitar sampler, but the song is shorter than the album version. And finally, one of the biggest "mysteries" in GD's Radio Edits are the Radio Versions for Walking Contradiction. In my youtube channel are available the Radio Edit #2 (The same mix for WC videoclip) and the Radio Version (which comes from a green CD promo). However, there is a "Radio Version 2" from an orange CD Promo. I asked to 3 people who have this CD about this version and one of them told me that (supposedly) is the same as Radio Edit #2. And last year appeared another CD Promo with a "Remix Clean Edition" in discogs. And these are just a few examples...
