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).

That’s funny, I think he’s the straightest of them.

100%

Saviors deluxe gave us five new songs at least. Had we gotten five never before heard tracks with this Warning boxset, we’d all be losing our shit over it. My favorite things to come out of these boxsets are songs like Black Eyeliner and Place inside my Head not to mention all the American Idiot goodies.

im not sure what it is, but mike dirnt, to me at least, just gives off transgender vibes....... no idea why very confusing...

It would have been an interesting addition if it was the whole album of an Otis mix instead of just the two tracks. Nice to get an album remaster nonetheless. It's great we got demos, but the b-sides (mostly) being a re-release from Shenanigans and International Superhits felt like a double dip.

This. It's the same for the Dookie anniversary. We get it, 10 minutes of chaos and noice was cool at Woodstock. But that's it. I want music, good recordings and not Longview and Basket Case for the 1769th time and half of the live album consisting of shenanigans😅 I literally cannot hear the difference between the remastered tracks and the originals. Where do I look? 😂

11 minutes of knowledge, followed by 10 minutes of minority ... 😐

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.
