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"

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

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.

Billie said last year that he want's to tour with Pinhead Gunpowder I'm guessing that they will do a few shows in the US and that's it I wouldn't expect any more GD stuff in 2026, maybe even 2027.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

One of the things that's made me happiest about streaming is the death of the radio edit. Editing out slurs and not dropping F-bombs on top 40 stations at 8:00 AM, sure, I get it, but there are two long-standing traditions in radio that I hate. One, they speed up the songs' playback. Two, they slice and dice anything they have to to bring a song down to three minutes. That's how 21 Guns on the radio ended up without the guitar solo that the whole thing is built around, and it's why if you've ever thought that Know Your Enemy sounded slightly faster in your car than it does on your iPhone, well, you're right. The radio edit completely ruins songs.

We absolutely need a 21CB anniversary box set. Since Butch Vig said that they had about 70 unfinished songs or part of songs I'm really curious how early version might sound like

Time for some Trilogy vibes…😊

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.

The piano intro is vastly inferior but on the plus side I don't feel insane now. Good find.

Masterpiece

I got it when I was first getting into Green Day, it was the first footage of a Green Day concert I ever saw. I must have watched it 100 times lol

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...

I was there too! Both nights!

would be typical of Green Day to use any way they could to promote a band they liked. Had a quick look at their insta and they seem funny

Every time I watch the video I get goose bumps and an adrenaline rush. It takes be back to being there in Milton Keynes on June 18, 2005 the first of two nights. 65,000 fans. Man it was hot, over 30° C I think. I was at the back of stadium, so band were so far away but could still make out Billie Joe running up and down the stage as always, but the two big screens helped. But didn't give a shit, just followed Billie Joe's instructions and went fuckin' crazy and jumping up and down with everyone else. At end of show I was soaking wet from the heat and fans, but I was gone, I'd died and gone to heaven. lol. The movie brings the show close up which is cool. The only disappointment was it's been cut with 5 songs not broadcast and other things. Memories are a wonderful thing, to remember those good time. But to see it again is something else.

Our biggest mainstream radio station regularly plays a short version of Holiday, sometimes without the bridge, sometimes without the second verse 😅 but hey, rather a short version than no version of a GD song 😅

That promo came out around Warning era. Around that time and ISH era there were several promos with GD Hits. I remember Rock Block Sampler and the one to promote Pop Disaster tour. Also, there was a promo sampler for International Super Hits. Talking about When I come around singles, there were some versions. The most known version is the one which includes Coming Clean and She live from Aragon Ballroom (Chicago 1994). This is the same concert in which Billie starting She he said that "You worry?" speech. Sadly, this was cut in the single. There is a promo which has a live version of When I Come Around from Woodstock 1994. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same version from Woodstock 94 Compilation (The official one, not the GD bootleg) And finally, there is another version which has some live track from Jannus Landing (Tampa, Florida) 1994. These are the covers for all these singles and promos. The most common version of the single. This cover was for Australian and some European versions This is a Spanish Promo. This is a US Promo And this is a UK Promo

OMG THAT LOOKS SO COOL!! :DD happy st paddys day ^^

Is the version you are looking for any of these? https://greendaydiscografias.blogspot.com/2015/08/holiday.html

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:

The only versions I know of are the Radio Edit (with "Sieg Heil" completely silenced and "F*gs" censored) and the Clean Radio Edit (with "F*gs" censored), on both those edits the last chorus starts at around 3:03. If the bridge was cut the last chorus would start on around 2:18 and the whole song would be around 3:03 long. Maybe the version you're mentioning was done by local radio stations and was never pressed on CD's? I'm not sure. I have never seen any Holiday promo CD's out there with such an edit, but I don't want to discourage you in your quest That one BOBD promo with the Pop edits only popped up a few yeas ago, so one like that for "Holiday" might be sold some day.
