  1. 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 💚

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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!

  6. 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):

  7. 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.

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

  12. 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.

  13. Macy's Day Parade (Otis) is *much* more than what the Saviors acoustic tracks are tbh. This is like a full on remix and I love it Actually makes me so sad that they didn't remix the full album in the same style The fact that they didn't use the single version of Suffocate is so funny to me. It still ends abruptly because the rest of it is supposed to transition into Desensitized... now I'm even more confused as to why they put this one on here, because originally I thought it was included to keep the full end of the song intact for streaming.

  14. 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

  16. It's a cash grab. If you just want to listen to it, download it. If you want to own it physically, buy it, but maybe you'll find it cheaper somewhere. A torrent tracker states: CD 1 - KSAN FM Broadcast - Club Rio, Tempe, AZ - 13th September 1994 CD 2 - WBCCN FM Broadcast - Aragon Ballroom, Chicago - 18th November 1994 CD 3 - WROQ FM Broadcast - House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, SC - 6th May 1998 CD 4 - WFMU FM Studios - East Orange, NJ - 28th May 1992 I'm not sure about CD 1. I've never heard of that show and there's no thread in the download section for that date. But it has been available digitally for at least 4 years: https://www.qobuz.com/mx-es/album/green-day-ksan-fm-broadcast-club-rio-tempe-az-13th-september-1994-green-day/vkrxb2esz0tob Here's a FLAC download link if anyone's interested: https://mega.nz/folder/M6pBUSTa#NbPhaIYj9MwG4QHpKhnjkg

  17. 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.

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

  20. I don't want to create a new topic, so I'll post it here For those interested in playing guitar, especially Billie's style, I've recorded a short tutorial. This video may help you to take a closer look at his technique. I think Billie's style is very distinctive and unique – fast strumming with downward sudden breaks. This video may help you to take a closer look at his technique.

  22. Check out this brand-new 45-minute documentary about Green Day concert, which took place in post-communist Poland in Novbember 1991. It’s a record of memories shared by musicians, fans and above all - organisers. Great stories. Video down below; I hope the link works; if not - search by name. Channel on youtube: video4bands / title: A jednak tu byli - film dokumentalny o koncertach GREEN DAY w Polsce w 1991 roku

  23. Billie's vocals on the Blood Sex and Booze demo are slightly creepy and I like it. The unintelligible words/shouting at the end is different lol, is he actually saying anything or just random sounds? Glow in the dark Warning man shirt for my brother's Christmas present just arrived 😊

  33. Usually it will be stream on every iHeartRadio platform in audio and video. I have on my computer a Blink 182 show from 2020 and last year's Sum 41 show in video format. Will it probably US only, but a recording will surface

  35. I think Nimrod was the only box set where they didn't lower volume on any of the tracks. Warning box set has all the demos, b-sides, and live album at half volume. The Warning remaster CD is the same volume as the original.

  40. That’s fair. I did take the insane decision to come over for it… if they do disappear as expected after this… could be one of very few shows this year so I took the jump! I am also excited to Good Charlotte live for the first time and cage the elephant were fab at Ohana. Also be good to see twenty one pilots as never gotten the hype myself so maybe now I will see!

  42. I just think the Warning man is such a great design it was criminal not to put it on the cover. I have the physical CD from 20 years ago and it's fine but not their most interesting cover That's really weird lmao. I'm kind of glad I'm not buying this and just listening to it for free

  47. 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...

  48. 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

  49. 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...

  50. On a similar vein to this... When your partner, who can been quoted saying that "their only good song is Wake Me Up When September Ends" (I know 🙄), is nearly constantly humming some Green Day deep cuts because of how often you play their music at home (last night it was Deadbeat Holiday, I was very proud of him )
