This is the content I’m craving. I want two hours of this kind of footage

Such a perfect ending to an era. This video changes the song for me. I've always felt like it was an incredibly sad song, but now its feel nostalgic, peaceful and almost happy.

Just now getting around to listening to all the new stuff (I'm a patient fan, I like to take my time). I thought it was interesting that more of the demos were written in first person. I always wondered if was referring to the band itself. It just seemed like such a pointed line to write at that point in their career. They were in such a vice at the time. The subgenre you helped pioneer is still popular but you need to evolve as artists and if you go back and make Dookie Pt. II it might be well received but it's an implicit admission that 'yep, these are all the tricks we have in the bag'. Especially after making such a musically expansive record as Nimrod. Warning didn't set the world on fire but they'd be damned if they'd play to type and do what's been done. That's why they've had staying power in the long term.

The interview will finally be released in a few hours!

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 💚

It's so funny when it changes from random clips to him singing the song to the camera with the hairspray Happy Halloween fangirls! Remember when Billie had the hottest Halloween costume

Today I caught my husband singing Warning to himself (the song, not the whole album 🤣). He admitted that it’s a good song! Now I am proud! It’s a long way but we’ll get there…

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!

OMG that was so sweet and Billie with the hairspray killed me . Perfect choice of song for it

Basket Case has been certified triple platinum in the UK https://www.facebook.com/share/1A2pD1CA1q/

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…?

This was a fine boxset. Demos are interesting. Otis mixes are good. The live show....it was good but jeez does it need some editing. I do not want 11 minutes of Knowledge. I also don't want long pauses with faint crowd cheering where I assume the guys are doing something on stage. Watching it is fine but whatever is happening doesn't translate well for an audio recording. Some of the live songs I loved like Castaway and Blood Sex and Booze but everything else? Eh.... It really wore out its welcome. Also I compared warning 25 to the other sets and while warning 25 is solid I'm so happy for the price drop because the bonus goodies are lacking. The dookie one had so much cool random stuff that made the sticker price worth it. I'm always happy for a green day anniversary release but I agree they should take a break from it. They're starting to feel a bit undercooked (cough cough Saviors deluxe).

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

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!

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

Photoshot of each page so far, obviously the print is to small to read. Trying to find way to enlarge, not having much success. otherwise may need to type article for posting on here, sorry. Great photos of band though. Takes me back, 1995, what a time sharing my life with Green Day. Billie Joe quotes: "We're not coming out with some tit-and-ass beerfest. We say obnoxious things and stuff, but I'd rather have my kid go to see Offspring than Poison." "We've worked our asses off to get to where we are now, to the point where I'm probably a little bit mentally disturbed." "We can't go, 'Duh, this sucks, the people paying to see me are the kind who used to beat me up in high school. I want my mummy.'"

i found hairspray billie in the mv really cute and for a whole i thought of drawing him. here's hairspray billie

I love these bts videos, could watch this sort of stuff for hours.

Do you know that feeling when you wake up and have the urgent need to listen to certain songs? It’s RevRad day today here!🥰 Besides I remembered that about this time two years ago I bought the tickets for the GD Berlin show of 2024. (Because I wanted to see the opening band, shame on me…😅) How could I know then what a fascinating journey would begin this way? Bit sentimental today, sorry… Have a nice Sunday, all of you!

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

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.

The remaster sounds great, the demos are pretty standard but have some highlights. Church On Sunday demo is a big stand out for me despite not being very different from the final version. Wish the vocals on Jackass demo were louder because I really can't make out any of the different lyrics at all. I like the Otis mixes and love the idea of them overall, but I don't seem to be as hyped on these as some others have been. Macy's Day Parade is great and Waiting is good, but I can't help but feel that the feedback on the guitar detracts from Waiting in certain spots. Particularly after the long pause. Not having everything kick in altogether loses a bit of punch. Still need to dig into the live show more. Overall, a solid box set. Probably the least interesting overall (excluding Insomniac's anniversary release) and my least favorite, but again the remaster alone was worth it. Sounds phenomenal. Current ranking for anniversary box sets would probably be Nimrod, American Idiot, Dookie, Warning.

Yes! Really loved these two demos (especially Misery), with the half-baked lyrics and Billie (I think) being like "it's the bridge" in the middle of Misery Loved it. I know everyone is obsessed with the Otis mix of Macy's Day Parade, and I love it too, but I m actually obsessed with the demo. I just love it. All the sounds towards the end give it a tropical vibe (in my brain at least 😅) that reminds me of my hometown and gives me all the feels.

My partner is learning to play the saxophone, and my first reaction was to run to him and tell him, "here, you need to learn to play this now"

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.

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

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.

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...

This is the most singles Green Day have ever put out for an album, right? it gets tricky with the "promo singles" and "other charting songs" but gosh darn, no matter what you count or don't count - it's a lot. Dream, Brains, Dilemma, Bastard, Sox. Corvette Summer was a promo single. Smash it Like Belushi and Ballyhoo were the singles from the deluxe version. Suzie Chapstick feels like a single. 1981 and Goodnight Adeline charted. Breakdown had about 8 songs that charted some kind of way, but yeah. Saviors was the gift that kept on giving.

This really is to be appreciated!👏 Here the non-fan husband ("Saviors is a really good album but I don't need the rest...") actively looked for Holiday on Spotify and listened to it! No deep cuts though...

Maybe the best music video I've seen from them in a long time

I can’t help myself, this video belongs here. The boys are just too cute in it. I need to watch this on repeat!❤️🥰❤️

I think awkward humour is just their thing and always has been lol If it's specifically about that recent interview I think the most awkward thing was the interviewer constantly complimenting them and saying how amazing they are, along with the film promotion stuff it just wasn't the most natural conversation. But in general they've always used awkward humour. They don't need to be fake and press trained

This is my first anniversary box set. I generally don't re-purchase music I already own even if it's a deluxe, remaster, etc. I just listen to the extras on streaming once or twice and then forget they exist. But for the deal on Amazon it was worth it. I've been listening to it non-stop. I put Warning on my Christmas CD list in 2000 (my parents could not be bothered to learn my taste in music, the list was necessary along with instructions on what CDs should not be bought at Wal-Mart). Of course my friends and I had already listened to it via the Napster leaks which is probably the reason I didn't go out and buy it myself when it released. I remember my boyfriend at the time telling me I was lame for liking it. I don't think I told any of my friends that I got it because when you're 16 you care way too much about what your friends think. At the time I didn't think anything could top Nimrod or Pearl Jam's Vs. as my favorite albums and Warning blew them both out of the water. It's remained my favorite album ever since.

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.

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 😊

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.

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 🤣

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

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

Absolutely loved this song from the first listen. The guitars are awesome!

The project of brainwashing my Swiftie daughter has entered a new phase: she has just told me that last night she dreamed she was at a Green Day show and that Billie brought her up on stage. She just had the problem of not knowing the lyrics but she did her best!😂 Edit: @jengd Another work in progress!😉

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. 🤮

On a similar vein to this... When your partner, who can been quoted saying that "their only good song is Wake Me Up When September Ends" (I know 🙄), is nearly constantly humming some Green Day deep cuts because of how often you play their music at home (last night it was Deadbeat Holiday, I was very proud of him )

I picked up an old Music Week magazine from 2012 with one of the Green Day trilogy photo shoot pics on the front. There's no article inside but there's a full page advert for the show at Shepherds Bush Empire which I've never seen before. I didn't even think it had been advertised at the time. Will have to post a photo when I get the chance.

I love it! And I like that not only did the chorus become a song a couple years later but the melody of the verses was used 21 years later (Kill Your Friends from The Longshot)

I want to play too!🙃 For me the worst song ist Drama Queen: those lyrics are so cringe I can't stand to listen to the song (even if musically it's okay). And Drama Queen is closely followed by Amy which I dislike as a whole. But all the rest of the songs are fine for me I think... Edit: I was thinking about Haushinka, the starting point of this discussion. I didn’t care much for the song until I saw the videos of Chile some weeks back. And I began to appreciate it. Sometimes a live version can make a difference!
