We absolutely need a 21CB anniversary box set. Since Butch Vig said that they had about 70 unfinished songs or part of songs I'm really curious how early version might sound like

Every time I watch the video I get goose bumps and an adrenaline rush. It takes be back to being there in Milton Keynes on June 18, 2005 the first of two nights. 65,000 fans. Man it was hot, over 30° C I think. I was at the back of stadium, so band were so far away but could still make out Billie Joe running up and down the stage as always, but the two big screens helped. But didn't give a shit, just followed Billie Joe's instructions and went fuckin' crazy and jumping up and down with everyone else. At end of show I was soaking wet from the heat and fans, but I was gone, I'd died and gone to heaven. lol. The movie brings the show close up which is cool. The only disappointment was it's been cut with 5 songs not broadcast and other things. Memories are a wonderful thing, to remember those good time. But to see it again is something else.

I remember when i heard Trés voice for the first time and i genuinely did a double take and said "What the fuck is he made out of helium"

Just spent two nights in Berkeley…possibly the original one near Bristol in England. Certainly very old tiny town, no Green Day references at all 😂.

I think you're absolutely right. With 2028 being the most likely, I think. It'll probably bleed into the 21st Century Breakdown anniversary box set. Or the other way around. Wether they'll be 100% on a break until then. I don't know. But I don't see new music (at least nothing related to an album) before that.

most schools here do 'Lá glas' for st patricks day, which is basically just where you wear green clothes to school. but Lá glas translates to english as 'Green Day', so i guess yall know what im wearing tomorrow XD

Things are different this time around as the band didn't do a massive tour in 2020. They had a lot of downtime to prepare for Saviors, so that's perhaps why we got some much so soon before Saviors came out. So it's not necessarily a bad thing that we don't have any rumblings or leaks right now. Billie and Mike have both said the same "we're relaxing after years of work and we'll see what happens next" kind of statements. So they are writing. Looking for the next vibe, the next thematic idea. I'm thinking the rumblings, the leaks, the rumors will start coming in by the end of 2027. Then in early 2028 we will get an official announcing for a may release. Hopefully sooner than that, as that would be over over 4 years after Saviors. A more optimistic approach is that they are secretly tinkering more than they are letting on right now. Later this year, they will admit to some studio time in a vague, no commitment kind of way. Between June and September of 2027 they make the big announcement. Sometime between September and November the album is released. That would equate to their standard 3.8 years between albums kind of deal. Let's say November 19th, 2027.

Recently, a coworker was telling me the story about the bullet in the bible - the guy that was saved by the bible. I had to bring up Green Day.

Hahaha, you're right, Mollyluna . He is getting bored lol. Omg imagine having the ability to go, "you know what, I'm bored, I'm just gonna do a show for all of my beloved fans ," .

https://greenday.fm/audio/demos/ Quote from greenday.fm, "Demo leaked in Feb's 2009, with alternative lyrics and a piano intro". See link, 2nd entry down. I love demos, with alternative arrangements and those with alternative lyrics. Must admit I prefer album version I'll wager if they release a 20th anniversary box set in 2009 of 20th C, this will be one of the demos included.

I was at a record store yesterday and they wanted $40 for the Blu-ray version of it, which surprised me! I have the DVD version (which I only paid $6 for 😄) and it made me realize that I need to do a rewatch.

Me too! I asked my mum to buy me a Green Day CD and she took me to a record shop in town. The bloke working there started gushing about how they're better live so I should get the live album... and I apparently took that advice very seriously

This was just posted, I've never seen it:

So excited to see more Coverups! Just wish they’d play shows outside California. I think I might die of happiness to hear any Longshot material played live.

Awesome! Great cause and more Coverups shows is always good. Seems like a really fun and laid back way for Billie to get his music performance fix!

I know right 😭. Oh my goodness, I didn't even think about that. Yes, he is, I am sure, maybe in a year, he'll be like "Okay, break's over," .

Time for some Trilogy vibes…😊

I picked up the rainbow puke FOAM vinyl! I was surprised to see them still being sold on the web store so I wanted to snag it before they’re out of print.

I love Underoath! I have never heard that version before! Ew . It is very awkward, and the lyrics are now incomplete. I completely agree with this. I never listen to the radio edit versions, and I don't know anyone who does.

Billie said last year that he want's to tour with Pinhead Gunpowder I'm guessing that they will do a few shows in the US and that's it I wouldn't expect any more GD stuff in 2026, maybe even 2027.

It's funny that during the emo/pop punk boom of the 2000s, pop radio tried to minimize screams and guitars where possible. Taking out solos and bringing down the guitar in the mix was normal for the time, and ridiculous in hindsight. As for screams, an example is Underoath's "Reinventing Your Exit." The song is primarily screams, so taking them out just leaves weird empty space.

Masterpiece

Oh yeah, it definitely looked cool! She said it was a 20 minute photoshop job though, lol. But theres quite a few people that believe the unbelievably fake news article screenshots she makes so i guess that says she should work for the band...

the billieball

I was there too! Both nights!

One of the things that's made me happiest about streaming is the death of the radio edit. Editing out slurs and not dropping F-bombs on top 40 stations at 8:00 AM, sure, I get it, but there are two long-standing traditions in radio that I hate. One, they speed up the songs' playback. Two, they slice and dice anything they have to to bring a song down to three minutes. That's how 21 Guns on the radio ended up without the guitar solo that the whole thing is built around, and it's why if you've ever thought that Know Your Enemy sounded slightly faster in your car than it does on your iPhone, well, you're right. The radio edit completely ruins songs.

Our biggest mainstream radio station regularly plays a short version of Holiday, sometimes without the bridge, sometimes without the second verse 😅 but hey, rather a short version than no version of a GD song 😅

I was playing Geoguessr with my sister. Normally we suck at finding the location in the US. But this time I found a tiny sign saying Berkeley. Thanks Green Day, lol.

And for a great cause as well.

I feel like they're on a roll lately with these big numbers lately. 👀 I really dislike that it's a Spotify thing though.

Well, I did my part…!😄

Hey all. I just recently watched Green Day's documentary-styled concert movie the other day. It was directed by the same person who has created several of Green Day's music videos. I personally love it. For many years, like most fans, I spend my free time listening to Green Day. When this came out in the mid-2000s, and also during the American Idiot era, I bought the album about a year later and also purchased Bullet in a Bible. Today, you can stream it online which is amazing. I am curious though, does any like any iconic parts from the movie or like I mentioned initially, have heard of it?

I got it when I was first getting into Green Day, it was the first footage of a Green Day concert I ever saw. I must have watched it 100 times lol

https://nationaltoday.com/us/ca/san-francisco/news/2026/03/11/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-to-perform-at-oakland-benefit-concert/ Billie Joe is to perform with Coverups.

Sooooo difficult!😂 I actually used that code and ordered. The discount pays for those horrible shipping costs. And I got addicted to Soundcheck…🙃

Hey! So they do include the after show - people have called to ask. It just hasn’t been worded very well on the website

If their movie ever comes out maybe they release a single? Maybe Olivia as that’s the name of the girl in the movie. Then around the movies release we get that love album/dvd

Maybe a standalone single or a loosey goosey side project from Billie. A Sort of Fun Tuesdays solo record or something before the Green Day machine begins anew in 2028. Early 2028 wouldn't be so bad.

Damn right I remember it! It feels relatively new to me but that's because I'm old and don't understand time (actually I just refuse to acknowledge time but same diff) lol

You beat me to it! I'll have to do that later today .

You did! Must've summoned him hahah. Can't wait to get a fix through new pictures 😂

YES! Absolutely…🥰 Didn’t I write this in another thread today?😅 Life would be sad without little glimpses of BJA…

It's technically the album/DVD that got me into Green Day when it came out, so I'll always love it We had gotten it for my brother for Christmas for some reason (no idea why) and I was obsessed, it effectively became mine, and now here we are 20 years later. The BIAB version of Jesus of Suburbia is one of my top songs of all time.

I am absolutely not finishing this today but happy st patricks day idk

My one and only exception to that is "I Want to Break Free" by Queen. For whatever reason, the song on the album is about 3 minutes long and cuts out large chunks of instrumentation that, frankly, the song kinda doesn't work without. I think it kinda doesn't work even with them, but it's really weird getting a 3-minute album cut then a 4:30 radio edit. Gotta wonder what was going through heads there.

This one ain't easy Here’s how this works: Every messed-up line lives on the same record The record title is your discount code Enter it at checkout for a SECRET amount off   I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it’s lack of coffee Bringing me down to my knees I got no motivation Where is my mind? I’m all wound up and nowhere to go Running on fumes and bad timing I was alone, I was all by myself No one was looking I was thinking of you and nothing else And now I’m pacing Like a problem that won’t fix itself Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mug pours on its own It all keeps adding up I think I’m cracking up Am I just tired Or am I overdue for better coffee?     NAME THAT RECORD   Game ends Friday (3/13/26) @ Midnight  

The talent section on the website mentions that their full set is during the After Party: https://www.notesandwords.org/talent. The $175 balcony seats don't include the After Party.

Interesting article! Thank you! So cute that he orders merch from small bands he likes! And as for not hearing Billie in the backing vocals, maybe we were listening to the wrong version of the song...?

I'll watch Bullet In A Bible every so often, and it inspires me every time. I absolutely love it ❤️.
