Absolutely! I think Bouncing Off The Wall came on for me the other day, and I was like, "Dang, I'm craving Rev Rad," haha . I honestly haven't listened to that album in a hot minute.
Yes, it's the Special Edition with a bonus DVD including the videos for Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams and an interesting and funny Making of for both videos.
It's this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/9680988-Green-Day-American-Idiot
Very happy birthday to Billie Joe, wishing him long life, health and happiness. And, once heβs had a good break, inspiration to make more great music π₯³ππ
Here's a very rare picture of Billie scanned from my collection of old magazine clippings and posters

This one didn't used to be rare but don't see it around much anymore

I would absolutely love something like 21st Century Breakdown again just one more time in their career. The incredible production, the wide variety of instruments and arrangements, Billie Joe's vocal range, etc etc etc. An unbelievable record start to finish.
How did that come to be? The band feeling adventurous after American Idiot? Warner/Reprise asking them for an epic follow up to American Idiot? Butch Vig's touch?
By European standards heβs definitely not a leftist, more of a center-left, but Americans categorize Bernie as a leftist, and heβs center left at most on a good day, mostly a centrist.
American politics are so fucked up that advocating for basic human rights turns you into a βleftistβ.
in the last couple years they almost completely dodged their recent 6(!) albums ... really weird and i hope they make some significant changes to their setlists
I think Billie said in the Amazon audio book that he has a really hard time listening to this album because he was in a bad psychological shape while recording the album. Would make sense to me. But beside that it's my favorite GD album and I also hope that they play more songs of the album at the upcoming tour!
