feeding bja pictures for everyone ... (can i get the professional fangirl feeder job now?????)

He probably hates you... did you show him something in the past

how could he hate me?! erm i didnt think that would matter...

I yapped to my poster for a painful 17 hours and no billie did i do something wrong??

I'm going through a BJA withdrawal. Pictures please !!

You cant unless you happen to get billie pop out of one of your green day posters and pull you in... it slowly turns you into a billie yourself, and it hurts. Maybe you dont wanna go...

Really? So there are millions of Billie minions in an alternate dimension somewhere? Interesting . Thanks for letting me know about the remedy. 1,039 times is a lot, though. I'll stick to his cute pictures in the fangirls thread .

I think you probably went there and didn't remember that... a lot of Billieland survivors have reported forgetting more than 70% of their experience! Getting out of billieland jail is very expensive. They put you in there because if you escaped and come back, they want to keep you there until you turn fully Billie and can no longer escape... You need to tell Billie it was to defend yourself about 1039 times for him to forgive you if you really want him back, lol (i dont know)

You definitely should get into vinyl, even if it is for decorative purposes. I love my vinyls. I actually found the No Fun Mondays limited edition baby blue print at a pawn shop, still in the plastic wrap.

Been getting into physical media again and was looking for albums by my favorite artists that I don't have. The Longshot. Love is for Losers. Just ordered it.

Happy Green Day birthday!! You should celebrate by lighting a few candles and worshipping a poster of Billie Joe... just a thought . You have a band? That's sick! What's the name ?

I don't know if they're independent. But they're not associated with Apple.

I replied to you in the "random Green Day thoughts" forum as well, but to reiterate, why did no one in the queue stand up fer you? People have to leave all the time in queues! Why did you ask a random guy to hold your space rather than the friend you were with? Also, this is not bullying, it's harassment from what you've said here.

If they really don't want to play you could also try to learn something by yourself

Thanks for clarifying, @sergiewoo! They sent me an IG Follow request, and I worried that Green Day was outsourcing their PBC representation. 😆

????? 🤷‍♀️ (Wishful thinking of a new side project here…)

Thanks, nice to have this confirmed. I didn't even think to check YouTube. I also never noticed the duration for Longview was also off by more than ten seconds on the CD label as well, so now I don't even know what went wrong there.

Is jannus one

As far as I know, all the promos from Dookie era which has live tracks are from Jannus Landing or Woodstock or Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1994. And there was a Warner Compilation called trademark of quality, and its version from 1994 has a live version of 2000 Light Years Away from the Garatge Barcelona 94. Other shows were not considered to release live tracks in that era.

Yes! Thats awesome sergiewoo .

LOL. It's just an action photo from the 90s. It's not taken with a camera capable of catching movement so he looks kinda like he's melting. The strips on his shirt and the angle are not helping. In half the photos from my childhood either me or one of my siblings look like this. Funny, I used to hate posing for photos as a kid because we had to stay still for the camera for too long, (oh no a whole 20 seconds!) now I hate it because my friends want to take 20 photos in roughly that same time frame so they can pick "the best" one to put on Insta for literally no one to see.

His arms scare the shit out of me

Same! Maybe not as much as the shorter styles, but he still looks cute .

I don't know what to say to all that, to be honest. I am sorry that is happening to you. I do know about the profile pic thing, though. Here is an image resizing website I use often: https://imageresizer.com/ In my opinion, he doens't sound legit. He sounds like he is bluffing and just saying all of that to get a reaction out of people. All bark, no bite. I am sorry that is happening to you, though! Most everyone is friendly in this forum, except for the occasional internet troll, so you should be safe .

I like it in many forms… 🤣 This too!

I hate this picture of him so much but whatever... Why does he look like that

Was at a show yesterday. Look who greeted us in the entrance lol

Instead of adding YouTube videos to the social media thread or adding social media posts, I have kind of decided to let the GDC tell me what the news is instead of kind of being a correspondent. My life has been so busy, and I am so much happier. There's nothing really for me to talk about, so, how is everyone? If there's another watch party coming up for a concert, hit me up. I will be the craziest one there .

That zip up is sweet! 80 bucks though 😑

Super strange... I don't see "Coming soon". Anyway... probably just a configuration mishap! But I'll be delighted if I'm wrong.

As much as I like to nitpick things (as any obsessive fan would), the recent string of deluxe editions have really been a gift with what I believe is enough new and exciting content to re-buy an album that you already own. But it's been fascinating that they've taken a different approach with each of them, so I wanted to shoutout what I think works. Ironically, the first anniversary edition that started it all, Insomniac, is discounted from the list due to being much more barebones. Though it was seemingly the catalyst that convinced the label that fans are hungry for these types of releases. The best release that I keep coming back to is Nimrod 25. This is where they got it right; the album was supported by a whole disc of demos, and one of my favorite concerts of the era. I can't really think of any glaring omissions. I would like to hear Richard Dodd's remix of the album, but I wonder what the best presentation of that would be. Dookie 30 didn't disappoint either. The Barcelona show wouldn't have been my first pick for a live show, but it's still a nice time capsule. The main attraction was actually the Woodstock '94 show; I was confined to listening to this as a vinyl rip for years, now I have it in pristine CD quality. As for the demos and rarities, the Dookie demos have been the stuff of legend for years, and floated around as shoddy bootlegs. I'm grateful that we got an entire disc filled with demos and outtakes, but I'm still a little bummed at what was left out. Of the cassette demos that were previously leaked, I see the unique songs like Don't Wanna Fall in Love and the instrumental tracks as glaring omissions. There's no way they could have included everything, especially with the redundancy of tracks, but I think the curation of cuts could have been handled better; i.e. we have a demo of J.A.R. included, as opposed to a unique acoustic demo. Nevertheless, the quality of the previously leaked tracks is pristine, and is like listening to them for the first time. Billie Joe helped make this set even more special by donating his early 4-track demos that have never been heard before. One of my favorite parts of the release are the Dookie versions of 409 and Christie Road. Rob Cavallo worked some magic and made these outtakes sound exactly like the rest of the album. The accompanying essay mentions that 2000 Light Years Away was also part of these sessions, so that was disappointing to not include. Not to end on a sour note, but the Shenanigans B-sides and J.A.R. were also included. The inclusion isn't the issue, it's that three widely-available tracks made the cut when there were many, many other rarities that didn't. American Idiot might have been up there in second place, but there was a fatal flaw; they used the wrong master on CD. Everyone knows 2000s CDs were compromised by their loudness, and American Idiot was released smack dab in the middle of that era. The album was remastered in 2012; this was used for streaming and vinyl, but somehow left off the CD? This kind of quality control issue at the heart of an album anniversary release really sets my rating back. Otherwise, my thoughts were pretty similar to the Nimrod release; I loved the choice of live show, and enjoyed the entire disc of brand new demos. There was also another entire disc dedicated to B-sides. Now, I already busted my ass tracking down the CD singles for their B-sides, but I still appreciate having them all in one convenient place. Unlike Dookie, there was no "Shenanigans" for post-Warning B-sides. Only thing missing is the outtakes that were release in the 21CB era. Warning is another straightforward release. Once again, I'm completely onboard with the choice of live concert. However, they allegedly cut two songs from the concert? I still don't know whether it was confirmed that "When I Come Around" and "Church on Sunday" were played at that show, but making the decision to consciously cut them from the set would be pure lunacy, especially since Church on Sunday would become a rare deep cut from the era. We also have another solid assortment of brand new demos. We also have a good deal of recycling with four already widely available tracks; Outsider, Scumbag, Suffocate, and Poprocks & Coke. It's not so much a strike against the album, since it's not like it's taking the place of something else, but their inclusion is inconsistent; Outsider and Scumbag make sense, but then we have Suffocate from the Nimrod sessions. We have Poprocks & Coke from International Superhits, but not the version of Maria recorded for that album. Did they want to include all the tracks from International Superhits and Shenanigans across these releases or not? If you're a completist, you'll still have to buy them. Finally, I'd like to shoutout the rest of the outtakes. The B-sides NOT included on Shenanigans were Don't Want to Know if You're Lonely and the first version of Maria, and the brand new Otis remixes of Macy's Day Parade and Waiting. I think a couple live B-sides weren't included, but I'm not as concerned about those. So there you have it. Even though it was ranked best to worst, I think the quality across all four releases is pretty consistent and the wealth of unreleased content makes them must-buys.

I have already mentioned it in another thread. It's very exciting!

1. Dookie 2. American Idiot 3. Warning -- 4. Nimrod (i think there could have been a bit more demos) -- 5. Insomniac (if they didnt wanna go through with a full box then why include part of a live show rather than putting DWFL, J.A.R, You Lied, Rotting, Good Riddance, Do Da Da and TV onto that second disk?)

That version of "2,000 Light Years Away" was the Kerplunk recording remixed by Rob Cavallo and Jerry Finn to sound more like Dookie's production (Andy Ernst is still credited as the engineer). The version re-recorded in 1993 is still unreleased, probably unmixed. Originally, I thought Richard Dodd remixed the whole album; there was a rumor that the Australian Dookie/Nimrod two-pack featured his remixes instead of the standard release. That seems to be untrue (it seems to just be the exact same CD as the standard Australian release). On the contrary, I found an interview with Richard Dodd that confirms the opposite: Source: https://www.mixonline.com/technology/richard-dodd-online-extra-378080 He mentions only remixing the radio singles. The only released tracks are as follows: Good Riddance Redundant Prosthetic Head You Lied No word on whether remixes were ever made of "Hitchin' a Ride" or "Nice Guys Finish Last." Not sure why "You Lied" was included as well.

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

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.

When the boxset was released I chatted with Todd about it and he told me that. He ran some analysis on that track and his conclusion was that it was a copy of the old mp3, not a different or lower gen source of the demo. And I believe him. They have the tapes somewhere. They are lazy.

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.

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to share my thoughts as a Green Day fan and coffee drinker (probably the target audience). I'm no coffee snob, but I really enjoyed picking up a cup of their brew in the morning. I'm usually lazy and settle for K-cup, so having a stronger and more robust brew like this was a treat. I was lucky that I had a participating Speedway near my house and a 7-11 near work, so I was always close to a cup (or a Kerplunk Slurpee in the summer). I was even able to get my Punk Bunny K-Cups from Speedway for home. I didn't know how good I had it back then. They phased out the coffee pots at Speedway and then 7-11. I was crushed because I was secretly hoping it would always be an option. Then they later brought back Mike Dirnt’s “Turn Up The Bass” medium roast at Speedway. Haven't been there in a little while, so I hope that's still there. Anyways, I found the 7-11 Colombia coffee is close enough to Punk Bunny, so that's been my replacement since then. Update: No more brewed Punk Bunny or Kerplunk Slurpee at Speedway 😞. Still K-cups and coffee bags, though

Just realised Sum 41 Thanks for Nothig and GD 21 Guns have the same chords progression EDIT: I mean intro

Yes, i definitely should! I've been thinking of putting something on it since mid-january this year. I don't have any plans though lmao. I'll get back to it anyway. Maybe the entire site should just be smoothed out slappy hours. Who knows

Made this one today...
