I was there (running away from the train 😂) but I wasn't involved in creating the video. I do have loads of photos of the sunrise at Christie Road that I haven't posted yet though. There's also the Tre Edition of the landmarks tour which takes you up to Mendocino and I did that on my last trip. I'll write an article about it eventually! You're very welcome! I hope you can do it one day. Glad to hear it! There's also this post that I wrote about my own experience of doing the tour if you're interested. https://atlasandacamera.com/2025/07/20/welcome-to-paradise/

does this count? i made this art class yesterday. i made a pin of billie joe in his cup noodle costume as well, but it turns out i forgot 2 lines and now i hate it. anyways, i wasn't sure to put it in the fan art thread or this one, since i drew it myself. i could've done better, but it's pretty hard to draw on a 2.5cm circle.

Thought you guys might like this one I just posted on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DSxbX4UAjSq/?igsh=NW4xNDZ1NjNoY3k0

wayback machines being annoying so i'm finding it a bit hard to browse. there aren't a lot of snapshots for the page, so these are the only ones i got a hold on i also got 2 of the e cards... not sure if you got those all too, but they were the only ones saved...

It was partial showing, 15 minutes from May 4th 2009 for launch of 21st Century Breakdown release on 15th, seen before and on tube. Played AI, 21 Guns and Know Your Enemy, and included some band interviews. Were shown first, then Chillies, then Muse. Maybe attracted some new fans to our awesome band. Tend to forget what an amazing lead guitarist Jason White is. No worries, it's on UTube, see above. Have an awesome Christmas with your family. ❤️

Thanks again. I have to say I was well impressed the way you took the phone off the hook. The action, the look, real punk attitude. lol. Billie Joe would be proud. 🤪

this is absolutely incredible thank you so much! its so nice to see the actual places with all their "history" i want to visit the united states at some point in my life, but not now with the orange kid in the office

Nothing at all… Billie deactivated his IG account some days ago. Social media detox probably.

From Green Day Italia on IG:

The Classic Rock Station in my town (Rock 101) has been changed to a Country station. The New Rock Station (93.3 the Planet) has said they will have a classic rock show from on Fridays, and will add more Classic Rock to the mix. Green Day is mentioned here: "We are told The Planet will include even more classic rock from iconic artists such as Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Queen and Tom Petty, mixed with active rock favorites including Metallica, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Green Day." I looked at 93.3's playlist, and was surprised Boulevard of Broken Dreams isn't in rotation that much anymore. They play Good Riddance, Basketcase, Idiot, September, When I Come Around, Welcome to Paradise, 21 Guns, Brainstew and Jaded.

https://www.facebook.com/greendayinc/videos/billie-joe-armstrong-marshall-headphones-ad-greenday/553484583686674/ Im not sure if anyone has seen or discussed this, but have you all seen the new Marshall ad

Adorable .

I think it's perhaps Marshall Christmas advertising? The headphones came out earlier this year.

Oh I‘d love to see your sunrise photos. From what I’ve seen until now the scenery around Christie Road seems magical… I can imagine how it inspired this beautiful song.

I like it, it looks great!👍

Speaking of GD landmarks @solongfromthestars: were you a part of this? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSYXZmYCLMj/?igsh=MWhscTcyazh5a2E2cQ== It is so well made, and I thought I recognized some names in the comments…

@solongfromthestars this is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could kiss you. If we can't visit Green Day land in person just yet, what you have made and shared is the next best thing. I'm overwhelmed, sorry, I'm all emotional. I will read and study this article very carefully, you've made me so happy.

It was an amazing thing for Billie Joe to do, inviting a fan to play on stage with the band, even for just a few minutes. You could tell they where gob smacked. So made up, and a special memory that would be with the fan forever. I understand they got a guitar to keep as well? Nice one GD. Yes it's a beautiful song. As far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, live version at Manchester 2010, part of soundcheck. https://greenday.fm/audio/unreleased-songs/ Hope the link works

still don't know where to put half of these things. not sure if most people here already saw this (and there's a very good chance...) but this is sick! he didn't play the full song, but i love this anyways. awesome kid and awesome song

For those in UK or have access, there's a TV programme on Sky Arts at 2am Monday 22nd, that may be if interest, hopefully. "Live from Abbey Road studios, Season 1, episode 4, the very best of, with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Muse." It's 60 minutes long. Says it's new, but that could mean to this channel. I can't recall it, so even if it's old, hope its good. Freeview channel, 36; Sky 124/125; Virgin 123; Freesat 143. Additional series info states: "Top musicians record a session in a studio environment, interspersed with intimate interviews without an audience. Performances range from classic tracks to innovative covers."

I'd usually encourage any Green Day fan with the means to do the 'pilgrimage' to do it. It's an incredible experience. Of course I have an article for that, too https://atlasandacamera.com/2025/01/29/green-day-landmarks/ But yeah, but the vibes aren't amazing right now, even in California. It'll be a better experience when things change.

Maybe he needed to feel some comfort and safety…😅

It also looks like Billie is really squeezing Tré's hand lol. They're so cute hahah

Welcome! It’s not been released yet, we are all waiting to hear.

Works fine, thank you!😊

woah nice!! and thanks so much <33

Wow, I‘ve just found this on YouTube: I‘m fascinated by the song Dreamcatcher. I guess there’s no decent recording of the song out there somewhere…?🫠

i think i actually have a slight memory of watching this a bit ago... this is awesome glad i didn't have to do some weird vpn shenanigans with apple tv or something.

aww man im in the UK from tomorrow... so ill just miss it 😞 im irish but all my family live in the north and im goin up there for xmas Xb

Wow, that's as good as the one that came with Dookie 30th. I can imagine how difficult that was as you said. I'm sure your proud of it. I understand about hating the other one. An artist strives for perfection. It it's not right, the only option is to trash it and start again. You will succeed.

New GDA article featuring my photos from 924 Gilman Street this year. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6271/

Update 2025/12/19: Added scans of my booklet of the Special Limited Edition of WARNING. This booklet was unused, so it was hard to scan. I only scanned the plastic bag (front, back), the front of the digipak, the CD and the special booklet, not the regular booklet). Yes, this is the only version of the "Warning"-CD in a Digipak and as far as I know the only official version where the color of the CD is green, not orange. Here's the folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NcREWY8wuyegjxcxOwXZ3Ar7eggyU0RO?usp=sharing Another update with magazine scans will follow soon

Christmas presents to myself. Finally got the colour vinyl Dookie box set. Even with a set of pin badges and shipping it was less than half the price of the UK store in the sale of the US store which is insane.

We have 100s of CDs which we loaded onto a pc and then iPods (yes, I know but they were brilliant in so many ways) but iTunes/Apple music has become such a nightmare that last year we switched to streaming. I really hate how Spotify etc treat artists but what is the alternative? We still have some iPods and hubby has been looking into going back to an old version of iTunes but it’s a pain. I am torn between the convenience of streaming versus physical media. Physical media will always be better to me but the bulk can become huge. As @Dingle said, nothing beats the whole experience of buying that album, looking at the sleeve, reading the notes but goodness it’s easier to move a smart phone around!

It's been extensively talked about over here

Thank you so much!

Oh okay, thank you ! Yeah I just saw it a few weeks ago and was wondering if it was new or not.

thanks! i am definitely proud of it i think it took me around 30 minutes to do that, but it was still difficult to get it as accurate as possible i wont trash my other one... trashing your art as a growing artist no matter how bad it is isn't the greatest mindset, so i think i'll keep it around and wait for next year to be able do it again.

Me proposing to my GF when Billie started Bobby sox, I was shitting my pants

Wrote about this tattoo in another thread, so here it is. It healed well and I‘m VERY happy with it!

Found this pic on IG. Isn’t it cute how they are holding hands?🥰

Fan drawings of the band, album covers, backgrounds etc etc

Both. When I’m on the go of course I stream everything. In fact, streaming is great because my bootlegs get folded into my library so it’s really the most complete version of my collection. Vinyl is for when I’m at home and really have the time to dedicate to giving the music the full attention it deserves. For me there’s no beating the experience of getting a record off the shelf, putting it on the turntable, hearing the needle drop, listening to it, holding the artwork, reading the inserts. It’s a vibe, man.

I do both, but it is more convenient to listen to streamed music. I have a lot of CDs. Yes, I listen to them a lot, and if there is a nationwide blackout and no electricity, I still have a CD player and batteries. . For vinyls, yes I have a record player, but it is just more of a collecters thing. I only buy records if its an anniversary album or a cool print, otherwise i could just buy the CD for less or stream it. I believe it supports the band more or the record label more to buy CD's, and who wouldn't want to support their favorite bands

i actually listen to them... i like to listen to them on cd/vinyl before i stream them unless i genuinely cant find it anywhere. i don't know what it is but it gives me a better feeling. i also really like playing my records, since usually i listen to music on my headphones, plus i like speeding things uo and down... its cool, maybe i should be a dj... anyways, i do stream my music a lot though. i unfortunately dont have a lot of records and most of my cds i love, however im missing a ton like insomniac, the trilogy, warning, etc, both on vinyl on cd...

woah nice this thread exists?? these two are pretty old, havent made some fan art for months 😩 but ill make some more tomorrow sure Xb OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING HOLY SHIT THE LIGHTING IS AWESOMEEE TOOO OMG EPICCC ✨🔥❤️🤘

It’s not current. His sister got married about four years ago. That was his pandemic beard

Alice Baxley posted this new pic on her Instagram story (looks to be from when they filmed the Bobby Sox video)

He once outrageously claimed he's 5'8 as well (top of last column in this interview full of great stuff including him also pointing out that Tom Cruise is shorter than him) http://www.greendayauthority.com/articles/121/1/ Some serious rounding up going on

You are so right! I’ve always said he’s the perfect height when some folk appear to be saying he is too small for them, I’ll take him 😉😉 @Montclare I think there are pics of BJ without the hat and he looks fractionally taller than Matt Bellamy, would need to see his feet though 😂😂. He’s def taller than Tom Cruise, that’s a fact!
