This is such a deep discount even before the release date I wonder who decided to do this and why. Is it because the preorders did well or not well enough? Feels like a gift to fans in light of the current economy with layoffs and exploding healthcare costs. Much appreciated whatever the reason. I was a buyer at $49 (or whatever the original price was) and this almost seems unfair, like clearance prices, but not complaining when the cost of everything else in life is so high. I’ll take the win 💚

Would you believe my painter showed me snippets that look very like this. He’s Polish and a pal of his shot some of this I believe, he was actually there for some of the shows!

I think out of all the anniversary box sets (not counting Insomniac), this one might be my least favorite, but I still enjoyed it. The demos are cool and have a rougher sound to them, but I'm kinda sad we didn't get more from this era, songs like "Waiting" and the title track not having demos are also kinda weird (maybe they never got demos recorded, who knows). The Otis mixes are cool, I hope they do something like this for future anniversary box sets too (like the "Uno Dos Tre" trilogy), the Otis mix of "Waiting" might be my new favorite version of the song. The 2025 remasters are also pretty neat, the songs sound a little cleaner, it's cool to hear this album get more polish and love. The live concert is cool to have, their Japan 2001 shows are awesome, but I noticed Billie's voice sounds a bit rough in this recording. Considering the concert the next day was the Shibuya-AX show, where Billie's voice was completely shot, I wonder if he was partially sick at this show too. Pretty interesting they chose this concert to include on the box set. I'm sad "Church on Sunday" and "When I Come Around" from this show got omitted for whatever reason, I guess their recordings of the songs got messed up or something. Hopefully the bootleg show of this show turns up so we can have the full thing available again. I hope the next box set will be 21st Century Breakdown or the Trilogy!

You joke but this is a quote from 2000 (I have a scan of the interview but can't access it at the moment because I can't get on imgur):

a bit ago i got my first green day cds: saviors, american idiot, 1039/sosh, nimrod, and dookie around june this year i thought of listening to all of them in full for once! i know streaming exists, but i like to listen to new albums on physical if i can. maybe tease with a few on streaming of course, just not the full thing since i have time, i'll finally be able to listen to them all especially without extra distractions around me with all the probably 100 apps on my computer compared to just a booklet, cover art, and back cover. and that also means i'll finally be able to listen to welcome to paradise without my friend bugging me all the time. unfortunately saviors will have to wait i only have so much time and stamina to just stare at billie's handwriting...

I've just listened to the demos. Deadbeat Holiday, Castaway are the standouts. Misery has different lyrics and more raw sounding as is Jackass. Blood, Sex and Booze, Church on Sunday and Fashion Victim are similar to the final versions with few different details. Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix which is without drums and bass sounds better than the album version. I wish this was the album version. Waiting Otis Mix is cool and makes me think why Minority didn't get an Otis Mix. It would be lovely.

Walmart has it for 17 right now also

CD Box Set price error? Amazon has it for $17. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTMXCCTM

I don't know if it's a sarcastic remark or I'm just not getting it, but in the liner notes of the vinyl box it says "...it hurts so good that Warning's 'Blood, Sex & Booze' explored S&M - a hard-hitting theme first addressed head on by Green Day on Tré Cool's 'Tortured Love Slave'...". Written by David Wild. Did nobody went over his text? Just proves that people who threw this together didn't care enough to fact check.

Macy's Day Parade (Otis) is *much* more than what the Saviors acoustic tracks are tbh. This is like a full on remix and I love it Actually makes me so sad that they didn't remix the full album in the same style The fact that they didn't use the single version of Suffocate is so funny to me. It still ends abruptly because the rest of it is supposed to transition into Desensitized... now I'm even more confused as to why they put this one on here, because originally I thought it was included to keep the full end of the song intact for streaming.

Just listened to the demos: Most of them are final versions, just like the demos from American Idiot. Exception is Misery, which has different lyrics on verses, almost like placeholders for a final song. The demos sound more 90's Green Day, louder guitars and slightly fast tempos. Waiting otis mix is awesome and I wonder if all those guitars were recorded back then and discarded on the final mix Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix is like the acoustic songs from Saviors deluxe, they only removed bass and drums from the track Maria is the single version

i fear that this is true... my mom loves oasis, but i hate them so bad.

It was worrying at first but he went right to rehab and the band and their families kept us updated via social media quite a lot and everything was very positive all the way along. It was clear right away that he was getting help and everyone was rooting for him. And just a few months later he was back with GD playing shows doing much better. I also don't remember anyone judging him, he's always been open about his struggles with alcohol etc so it would be pretty silly to. Everyone was supportive

https://www.instagram.com/p/DRCr-4-kbQe this may also explain why demos are missing (I.E: Warning, Waiting, Hold On and Minority)

The front of the boxset box is what the cover of the album always should've been! Nice to see the warning man used properly

Check out this brand-new 45-minute documentary about Green Day concert, which took place in post-communist Poland in Novbember 1991. It’s a record of memories shared by musicians, fans and above all - organisers. Great stories. Video down below; I hope the link works; if not - search by name. Channel on youtube: video4bands / title: A jednak tu byli - film dokumentalny o koncertach GREEN DAY w Polsce w 1991 roku

Billie's vocals on the Blood Sex and Booze demo are slightly creepy and I like it. The unintelligible words/shouting at the end is different lol, is he actually saying anything or just random sounds? Glow in the dark Warning man shirt for my brother's Christmas present just arrived 😊

Damn I love this band

My $17 Amazon box set arrived today! I noticed that all the B-sides are mixed much quieter than the Shenanigans version. All the demos are like this too. Top is Outsider from the box set and bottom is from Shenanigans CD.

Nimrod demo disc on the 25th anniversary sounded so good I think of it as Nimrod II. American idiot demos more like alternate universe american idiot album

I joked to my niece what I wanted for Xmas was a private Green Day show and she got excited and said she wanted to go with me! She said two songs she really likes are American Idiot and Brainstew. It's alllll coming together...she'll be a fan in no time 🤣

With that price, I couldn't resist!! Just around 35 bucks including taxes and shipping... and I live in CHILE!! BEST PRICE EVER!!

My vinyl box set from the UK store shipped yesterday. 😁 Let’s see when it arrives here….

As a great man once sang, "life is too short to be normal"

That sounds good. Still... a stressful time. But good to know so many people care about him and helped him.❤️ And now back to the topic of this thread: it's not exactly a GD item I bought. But I've finally found a black blouse I like to go with the red tie from the anniversary box last year! 😃 I just don't know if I dare to wear this for work...?

The 99 Revolutions Tour shirt is the best one. The back: Also the commemorative 21st Century Breakdown Tour shirts for each show. And it's not a Green Day shirt, but a special mention for the Longshot tour shirt that I made

Maaaaan, this is so heartbreaking, I'm glad they're at least putting these box sets out now so stuff like this doesn't continue getting lost to time.

I never thought I would utter these words, but here we go: I kinda liked the saxophone during 2,000 Light Years Away.

I think Nimrod was the only box set where they didn't lower volume on any of the tracks. Warning box set has all the demos, b-sides, and live album at half volume. The Warning remaster CD is the same volume as the original.

Suffocate must have been in nimrod 25, not here...

Just ordered through Amazon. Used my Amazon Visa reward points so my price was basically $0

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

Easiest cop of my life

Hi GreenDay my name is Abbie. I’m 16, loud, messy, and burning with punk. My first Green Day concert lit a spark, the musical fanned it, and I even wrote a song inspired by “She’s A Rebel.” I’m the daughter of rage and love—my parents are messed up, they divorced when I was 4, my life’s messy, and I don’t bend to anyone.

Hey, welcome! Just fyi, we don’t think the band members visit the forum but know that Bill Schneider does from time to time. Enjoy. 😁

Absolutely, as that same great man has instructed us many a time on the road, "Let's go fuckin' crazy." 🤪

Wow, that’s convincing!!😅

definitely wear it to work! it would look awesome!!!

ooh nice!! i wore mine to school with a black shirt when we had a non-uniform day XDD you should!!:D it would look awesome! ✨🔥❤️

I wasn't going to buy this.....but it's 17 bucks on amazon so I just bought it.

Let’s hope so!😊

Usually it will be stream on every iHeartRadio platform in audio and video. I have on my computer a Blink 182 show from 2020 and last year's Sum 41 show in video format. Will it probably US only, but a recording will surface

Only just started listening but right off the bat, I love how raw and punchy the guitar is on the Misery demo.

i cannot wait for the booklet to be dissected

Went ahead and ordered a copy so hopefully it stays at this price 😀 thanks for the heads up!!!

That’s fair. I did take the insane decision to come over for it… if they do disappear as expected after this… could be one of very few shows this year so I took the jump! I am also excited to Good Charlotte live for the first time and cage the elephant were fab at Ohana. Also be good to see twenty one pilots as never gotten the hype myself so maybe now I will see!

I've compiled a bunch of clips to produce a "better" quality complete concert, also tried to combine clips for better audio so enjoy!! Manually made subtitles are available!

@GREEN DAY IS MY LIFEEE @sergiewoo You two seem very convinced!😂 I will think about it….

Just a crazy post from someone who's crazy. We've had fav album, fav song, even fav live venue. But what's your fav Green Day Tee, that you just have to wear out and about, for all to see and wonder. Telling them that you just love the bestest and greatest punk rock band in the universe ever. And if you aint listened to them yet, well yer don't know what yer missin'. So, if yer not wearing a Green Day Tee today, well yer just not properly dressed. 🤪 Here's my top three.

Blink 182 have been considering similar to GD if I'm correct ??? If so, I would add them to your list. Although, I used to like Blur back in '90s but wouldn't have put them in same category as GD. I have this strange reaction that every time I even see the name Oasis, I wanna throw up. 🤮
