I understand where you come from. I think the feeling is 100% real, and at some point life will happen for the band members, the shows will be less energetic and the "dad rock" will escalate. We also have a tendency to compare them now and in the past. Yes, Billie isn't jumping as much around on stage and he uses a teleprompter, and they don't play intimate shows that much anymore. But, some things we know are the truth: 1. They are as tight as ever 2. They show no signs of not wanting to perform 3. They just played a tour where they played 2 albums in full + even more songs from other albums 4. They clearly love what they're doing - trust that feeling!

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.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have to get it off my chest somewhere… for the last few weeks I randomly have been having weird anxiety that GD will never do as big of a tour as they did for Saviors ever again. And the last time I saw them (Citi Field 2024) I had this bizarre sinking feeling of “what if this is the last time I see them live.” It sounds silly as I type it out but I can’t help it! Y’all please tell me I’m not crazy and other people have had this same thought 😅 I know it’s unreasonable but damn it’s hard to watch the guys get older!

Billie Joe has said the only way he’s leaving this band is in a coffin. Artists like McCartney, Dylan, and the Stones have proved you can tour well into your eighties. That might be a bit more challenging for Green Day given the type of music they perform but if there’s a will, there’s a way. Intermissions, acoustic portions of the set, there are so many different ways of going about it. I don’t worry about a “final tour” anytime soon. How many final tours have Motley Crue and KISS had? The love and joy of what they do isn’t going anywhere. They’re friends. This is what they’ve done since they were teenagers or even before. It’s the only thing they know how to do really. Make music and perform it. They’ll do that as Green Day as long as we have all three members with us. And their music will live on forever.

https://www.nhl.com/news/green-day-tre-cool-attends-anaheim-ducks-game My two favorite things: Green Day and hockey . (I don't know if this has been posted yet, sorry if it has ❤️ )

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

Billie won't hit retirement age until 2037 and besides.... he has some pretty significant job satisfaction. lol Green Day will likely put out albums 15, 16 and 17 by 2037. Big tours for each one? Probably. Album 18 in 2039 - the guys are 67. Maybe this "retirement age" phase slows things down a little. Album 19 - 2043 - the guys are 71. Maybe slowing down a tiny bit, but they all seem healthy, wealthy and happy so who knows? Could go for some time. The oldest known musician performed until they were 111, so......maybe Green Day will outdo that record and keep the momentum going until 2084. Green Day Album 30 would be a nice, even number to go out on. Will it be any good? Will we be in the nursing homes blasting it? Maybe. Things will be awesome in 2084, guys. There's no reason to think otherwise. Earth rules! Humans rock! Everything is awesome!

I had a weird feeling during the Hella Mega Tour. The 21stcB Tour in 2009 was my first Green Day Tour and that tour was the point for me to go „yep, they‘re my favorite live band“. I never had a doubt during the trilogy and RevRad tour. But then covid began and after a long wait they started the Hella Mega Tour in 2022 in Europe. And don‘t get me wrong, it wasn‘t a bad tour (especially I really like FOB and Weezer), but I didn‘t like the short set and EXACT same songs (maybe they changed Waiting/King for a Day with She and Pollyanna. Btw fuck you „rock n roll all nite 😂). I thought „ok, they‘re still my fave Band and I‘ll go to as many shows as I can, but we‘ve already seen the peak of their live shows“. And you know what? The Saviors tour prove me wrong. It felt like almost the 21st Tour where they changed a little bit during in the middle of the set and towards the end of the set and got a little bit more spontaneous like they used to during 21st/RevRad. Sure Billie isn‘t 35 anymore and won‘t jump around for 2.5 hours a day like he used to. But he still sounds amazing and I‘ve seen a lot of bands in their 20s/30s and Green Day still kick their ass today. Am I afraid to see an announcement for a final tour one day? Oh hell yes, I‘m scared. But I think they got 10 years at least and I think Billie has a lot to say during these shitty days in the world

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

My only worry just now is if one of them develops an illness otherwise I see them keeping on going for a few years yet. Tre may have to get back-up though as he has such an energetic performance, not sure how long he can keep that up.

I agree, I haven't seen them yet despite how much I want too. No one told me they were in my city at the time they were there.

To get Billie out of the band you „have to put him in a fucking coffin“. And as long as the band exists they will do shows, they love it. So I‘m not anxious about that. I‘m just missing them right now… (Besides, being in the fifties doesn’t feel old! I know that….😅)

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… 😂

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 )    

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

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.

Me too. I have never seen anyone live because I always have so much going on, and I can never save up enough money to get decent seats nowadays. But I am not gonna worry about if I'll ever see Green Day live; I will eventually, and I am sure Billie won't lose his spark.

the feeling is real. But when it comes to this and the million other things I'm anxioius about ALL THE TIME (lol) I try to remember what I can control and what I can't control. There's so little that I can control that it's a relief to let all that go (but it takes practice, it's not a "now that you've read this all you're problems will melt away" situation). I missed years of them touring, pretty much from after the 21CB to the FOAM era, because of being mental (not in the fun way) and that's a huge regret that I'll always carry. Now I put money away for "Green Day" so I will hopefully have enough money to see them more that once if I'm lucky enough to get to see them on tour again. It's really all I can do

That is very true 😂 welcome to the fandom!! I absolutely LOVE how many new fans joined in the Saviors era! I suppose I should focus on feeling grateful for how many times I have seen them over the last 20 years ❤️ I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day too! as Mike said in that bass interview last week, he’s a race car not a pace car 😂

Knowing my best friend got to see them n i didn't makes me all a little more anxious about it :') i haven't seem them yet as a very new fan (march 2025). As they get older i also get that same anxiety thinkin i'll never see them even once, lol. Maybe never even in a cardboard box i'll see em. But... billie is restless. If he breaks his back playing i know he's probably gonna come out on stage on a wheelchair still rocking the hell out

https://q107.com/news/11738826/ongoing-history-daily-green-days-al-sobrante-who/ Cool lore... I guess . When I read it, I was just like, "...okay..." lol.

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

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.

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.

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

Time for some Trilogy vibes…😊

"do you have the time *COUGH* to listen to me whine about my broken *COUGH x2* back and my enlarged spleen"

Sweet find! I cherish my trilogy box set. I got it from the Canadian store for like half off.

I'm not super into them but I wanted a few for my collection. I thought they would release regular packs but since they did expensive ass box sets, I bought a few individual cards on eBay for like 1.25. highly recommend that route because you can get the exact designs you want. I remember DESPERATELY searching for that episode because I didn't have cable at the time 😂 now I gotta find it again!

I didn't think you'd still be able to buy them? I thought they sold out fast. I think they're really cool but I hate the idea of not knowing what I'm going to get. So I'm not buying.

Is everyone in a mask green day at this point

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

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

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)

lmao i cant imagine what great grandpa billie will sing about though

I haven't watched it in a while but man, what a time! I got the dvd/CD set for Xmas that year. After we opened gifts I rushed to my room to watch it. After that I would often pop in the DVD and just fast forward to my favorite parts (no man can eat 50 eggs, Billie sleeping, tre putting on eyeliner, vocal warm ups). BIAB is still one of my favorite live releases of all time. I'm a sucker for the documentary mashed with love footage take and this is what I want from live releases. It's kind of like Depeche Mode's 101 another fantastic live film.

Ahah I know who they are. They're from my city. Great band, great guys too.

np!! and tysmm!! <33

Today I got some things I found in my GD picture archive I scanned years ago and just put it away for myself: Some Japanese promo stickers, some album promo stickers, postcards and a few patches I rarely see on ebay. There are some scans of album ads and some pages of songbooks! I also added some scans of vinyl bootlegs. To make it easier on everyone I included the file list for those here: Just added: Rennbahn Express (1995/10) Rennbahn Express (1996/02) Bravo (August or September 1997) Q (Fall 2001) Guitar Breakers (2004/11) Unknown Magazine (1995) [Mad Life Crisis] Another Unknown Magazine (1995) [''Unpretty''] Still another unknown magazine (1994) [Leeds] Still more to come as I promised and there are quite a few more Japanese mags featuring GD coming next week, so stay tuned if you're interested

When I have the time, I will see through all these articles. Let's see what I can find. A lot of them are from BRAVO, this was a youth magazine of... let's say not very high journalistic quality... But maybe there are hidden gems!?
