Was listening to Bang Bang this morning on the train. Still slaps.

Time for a random photo here. I like this one:

My birthday is on a 17th. My son's is too.

Every good thing I have or had in life is thanks to this man.

Absolutely! I think Bouncing Off The Wall came on for me the other day, and I was like, "Dang, I'm craving Rev Rad," haha . I honestly haven't listened to that album in a hot minute.

I completely understand why we haven’t seen any pics, but I would love to see him with his grand daughter!

Happy birthday to my favorite youth vamp- I mean rockstar, Billie Joe! 🎂🎉

Very happy birthday to Billie Joe, wishing him long life, health and happiness. And, once he’s had a good break, inspiration to make more great music 🥳💚😁

Some more pics from an old Italian magazine (scanned). Again not sure where to put these (maybe I should make a thread?) https://www.instagram.com/p/DUyU4qnjYqP/?igsh=MTRyZjFqcGVmZzA2Mw==

Huh, I must be blind because I never noticed he changes his ring. Even though I regularly zoom in on them lol. 🙃 I thought he always wore a fancy one. 😅 When my sister and I watched the performance the both of us appreciated how extra Tre was. 😍 I love how he always matches his make-up and outfits.

Happy birthday billie!! ❤️ Fanart i drew for him

Happy birthday billie

Looks like there will be a video with Mike soon on a popular Scott's Bass Lessons channel!

Yes, Tre was a fashion highlight. I was impressed! I got video footage of the show on IG regularly, and in the comment section there always were people suspecting that Billie was wearing a wig. The floof must be too impressive too be true…😂

My sister in law and her boyfriend were over last night and she was looking at my CD collection and was impressed by how many Green Day albums I have and asked if I had them all, I said "except for two" (RevRad and FOAM), and my partner says "except for DOS!" So proud of him. I started laughing and his sister and the boyfriend were confused so I had to pull out the album DOS and explain. I'm not even sure how it has registered with him that that album exists, since I hardly ever play or talk about the trilogy.

It's Green Day day again today https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Am2ARMvqb/

Happy Birthday to Billie Joe!

Happy birthday to Billie Joe! Hope it's great one 🎉

I wish him the very best, health and happiness! And inspiration for new music…❤️😊

Just watched the Super Bowl performance again and I noticed Billie is wearing a different wedding ring. This is a gold one but it looks fancy rather than plain, but definitely not the dark one he has been wearing recently. I can’t decide if he has loads and just changes them or loses them regularly. Also, how smart was Tre with his matching drums/tie/high tops and the stripe on his shorts!

This popped up on my notifications, thought you guys might enjoy it! https://mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/columnists-hickmancountytimes/coming-back-out-of-the-dark/

Just listening through to the album again for the first time in a while and I still love it. So sad I only ever got to see them play TADIKM and missed the rest of the tour (health and stuff).

I had a dream where i was on gdc and someone announced green day would be having a secret show today and that theyd say whatever the fans wanted at the end. So like i suggested billie says "billie joe is boot cool!" And when i was watching it SOMEHOW i got him to say it. What the fuck. Thats not the full dream but dont even remember anything. And the rest of it is just gdc.

From greendaybrasiloficial on IG, this is so cute:

21CB was a phenomenal album. The first time I listened to it I was blown away! It was (and still is) the most amazing album I have heard in my life. I wonder if Butch Vig did influence that. Of course, I suppose I am a bit biased, being from Madison.

Here's a very rare picture of Billie scanned from my collection of old magazine clippings and posters https://www.instagram.com/p/DUOEQmEgpAk/?img_index=1&igsh=MTF2dTR4bzA4dmE1ZA== This one didn't used to be rare but don't see it around much anymore https://www.instagram.com/p/DUn4p9bAtJS/?igsh=MWpqZjczeTIwMmxyaA==

I would absolutely love something like 21st Century Breakdown again just one more time in their career. The incredible production, the wide variety of instruments and arrangements, Billie Joe's vocal range, etc etc etc. An unbelievable record start to finish. How did that come to be? The band feeling adventurous after American Idiot? Warner/Reprise asking them for an epic follow up to American Idiot? Butch Vig's touch?

What the hell did I just read? I think what I like the most about it is that it looks and feels like a website from 1997.

aint that a kick in your head? second pose aint drawn as well as the first, but i hated the pose a lot and couldnt even freehand the hands like i usually do... anyways i'll finish these when i get to it. also, the fink + rev bromance i said i was gonna add here over a week ago... (im never finishing that)

2,000 light years away’s re-recorded song can be heard on the jerky boys soundtrack and on YouTube. I love it. The Richard Dood remix of nimrod did he remix the whole album and why? If so is that available on YouTube or anywhere? Insomniac has imo the best live tracks they are super fast and raw and peak 90’s GD love the speed of the songs. 21st century breakdown will be the best re release on my view

Amy is to Green Day as Candle In The Wind is to Elton John. This post is brought to you by Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Interesting, I wonder how they'd incorporate that. Like it'd be interesting to have it actually added to the sequence of the album, as opposed to tacked on the end. On that note, I was looking up the Australian bonus track version on Discogs, and it claims that "You Lied" was the remix by Richard Dodd, but I don't see mention of that on the CD. That mix would have been on the Good Riddance single, though. Like I said earlier, it'd be nice to have a home for the radio remixes, though they're not as drastic as the Otis remixes from Warning. The Dodd remixes of Redundant and Good Riddance would have been the hit single versions, yet they're pretty rare nowadays. You'd think the greatest hits album(s) would provide a home for them. I think you can still hear the remix of Redundant on the music video, but the audio for Good Riddance might be subbed out. I think Insomniac's only remix was Walking Contradiction; you can still hear Steve Holroyd's remix on the music video. If a proper Insomniac anniversary set gets released down the line, that and the original Good Riddance are prime candidates.

The only ring I've ever noticed being different is the engraved one that has 80 and a bunch of other stuff engraved on it. I have no idea what magazine I saw that picture on or even when in the last 30 years. I just remember I thought it was so personal and cool. Most of the time when people engrave rings they do it on the inside and I'm always thinking, what's the point of that? It'll wear out and you don't get to see it. Other than maybe a change in metals, I generally don't notice the difference in wedding bands otherwise even on my friends! I am also a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and I had to be told the bride changed her mind and got a different dress than the one we picked out together. I'm not the most observant.

Gotta say that I'm not too fond on any of them, but for different reasons. Mostly presentation, specially on the demos side. For my consideration, the demos should be able to showcase an evolution (if they choose demos from different stages of writing, like the Nimrod ones) but they end up being presented in a messy way, and it bothers me. Warning demos seems to be the most consistent on that task, as American Idiot ones. I like the AI ones specially because it shows they actually disassembled whole songs to make the record, best example is Lowlife. B-sides are ok, for most part. For the live shows they went stingy and didn't pay for the covers and snippets, witch is sad not to be able to experience a uncut live show. Three special mentions: - Dookie outtakes are good for the most part, but pitch corrected voices on old releases sounds really bad. Chris Dugan did a good job trying to recreate the mixes (as Jerry Finn passed away long time ago, and the songs were never mixed properly), but the election of correcting the voices is lame. I expected a remix of J.A.R, as it never sounded finished to me, that hi-hat is too loud, but didn't happened. - Reprise did a really bad move in trying to masking the demo of walking the dog as a new source but actually is the mp3 rip from ages ago. Raw capitalism. - They missed the chance to finally show the original versions of Chump and Longview.

This made my day

Yes, it's the Special Edition with a bonus DVD including the videos for Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams and an interesting and funny Making of for both videos. It's this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/9680988-Green-Day-American-Idiot
