Glad my thread resurrected, hahah! Wow I haven't posted anything on here in a hot minute...I guess I'll give an update I have gotten three more guitars (two electric, one acoustic). One of the electrics were gifted to me, and the other was on sale at Guitar Center. The acoustic electric was a used guitar at Guitar Center, but I have to buy a new battery slot for it because it was gone when I got it . So yah, two Epiphones, one Cort. I got a new amp as well because the one I got from a pawn shop was trash. Its a fender rumble 25. Great amp . The Guitar Center near me was so fun when I went a year ago. Now the employees are trash, except for one guy who was the only one helping me. I wasn't planning on buying anything, but I started to play American Idiot on guitar, and this random guy just joined me on bass. We both started singing too, hahha. Magical. Glad there's still some cool people near me, haha .

I love bass you should try it, it's such a fun instrument. I want it, but it's pretty expensive I am just now watching that video, and that bass is crisp

This bass looks fantastic but I don’t think I‘ll try it.😅 A few weeks ago I started with guitar and it’s challenging enough. But it’s fun and I love it!

I don’t know… I really love Ballyhoo, Belushi and Underdog. So for me the deluxe was worth it. As for the live show I so much hope for a Saviors live album plus DVD! Maybe for Christmas…?

As a huge fan of a good Billie-Mike bromance moment, I can say this is true, but also that bar is not very high

It's from an interview around the time of Broadway Idiot if I remember correctly. Somehow is asking Billie about how he feels about the the album being made into a musical (if I remember correctly the whole scene) and he's struggling to find the words, and Mike comes to the rescue, gives him a hug and a peck on the cheek while answering the question for him. It lives rent free in my mind, but I cannot remember the source interview right now, so I'm having a hard time finding another link for it

Someone who was a full adult at the time with a good memory, do you remember the day the band announced American Idiot? I know that the single came out on August 6th but what about the aesthetic (new logo cover ecc...) ? I'm curious cause it was the first time the band took such a change in their career.

do keep in mind that there were some tapes that were damaged also those 3 unheard of songs that we've heard for a while that werent in the box are closely tied into Cigarettes and Valentines, so theres that as well overall, im glad it isnt Anthology 4 (which was a fucking shitshow)

it's probably just cuz im another gay dude.. sometimes we wish everyone else was gay 😔

100%

I think 21st Century Breakdown will be the best anniversary release…maybe we get Olivia? Or Dreamcatcher? They wrote over 40 songs and the live at fox theatre where they played the full album would be sick. High quality version of restless heart syndrome?!?! Can’t wait.

As someone from Denmark this is wild to see!

After a long time I picked up the guitar again and I got into recording phase. I want to share some more of what I’ve recorded I remember listening to Green Day when I was 12 and being fascinated by the guitar sound/rhythm, especially Billie's style. Before I started playing guitar for real I used to do so called ,,air guitar'', immitating Billie. So by the time I grabbed a real guitar I arleady had a good sense of rhythm/ strumming in my head. (I certainly don't hold power chords like Billie, and that actually deserves a separate mention too; it's very characteristic; does anyone hold power chords like Billie ??)

I don’t play bass and don’t want to buy one. But watching Mike talk about it is nice…

Randomly found this article about one of Billie's bikes that's sold recently https://www.visordown.com/news/green-day-singer-billy-joe-armstrongs-t120r-sells-song

My BF made me watch the whole thing. So now I'm sharing it with all of you.
