feeding bja pictures for everyone ... (can i get the professional fangirl feeder job now?????)

He probably hates you... did you show him something in the past

how could he hate me?! erm i didnt think that would matter...

I yapped to my poster for a painful 17 hours and no billie did i do something wrong??

I'm going through a BJA withdrawal. Pictures please !!

I think you probably went there and didn't remember that... a lot of Billieland survivors have reported forgetting more than 70% of their experience! Getting out of billieland jail is very expensive. They put you in there because if you escaped and come back, they want to keep you there until you turn fully Billie and can no longer escape... You need to tell Billie it was to defend yourself about 1039 times for him to forgive you if you really want him back, lol (i dont know)

Yeah we all thought so for a moment! We're not worrying too much about it right now anyway Well, your band name seems very fitting ... haha get it... out of order... ok i'll shut up and worship my billie joe poster now

I guess i should worship The Joe every year! I don't think my parents would be verryy pleased with that though... My band? Ough... it's very new, it doesn't have a name right now. We all kinda hooked onto the name "dementia" so we can forget everything we do and get away with it but we don't know if we should keep that lol

Happy Green Day birthday!! You should celebrate by lighting a few candles and worshipping a poster of Billie Joe... just a thought . You have a band? That's sick! What's the name ?

Thanks!

I don't know if they're independent. But they're not associated with Apple.

I replied to you in the "random Green Day thoughts" forum as well, but to reiterate, why did no one in the queue stand up fer you? People have to leave all the time in queues! Why did you ask a random guy to hold your space rather than the friend you were with? Also, this is not bullying, it's harassment from what you've said here.

WTAF? None of this makes sense. Did no one in the queue stick up fer you? I've been in loads of GD queues and people save spaces so they can go to the toilet, grab snacks etc all the time. Why did you ask some guy to hold your spot and not the friend you were with though? Just asking for clarification, not saying your deserved any of this shite

If they really don't want to play you could also try to learn something by yourself

That got me excited .

Looking for some help from the music collectors out there; what recording of "Going to Pasalacqua" is featured on the Spanish Longview radio single? The CD just says its duration is 4:21, so it's definitely a live version. You'd think it would be the standard B-side recording in most other territories, that being the live recording from Jannuf Landing, St Petersburg, Florida on March 11th 1994. The problem is the duration discrepancy; that version of "Going to Pasalacqua" clocks in at 4:12. This leads to the possibility of it merely being a typo, seeing how it's easy to goof up 4:12 as 4:21. I believe all B-side live tracks for Dookie were taken from the Florida show, so I'm leaning towards that being the answer. Maybe they chose to include more on stage banter? I'd investigate this myself, but the overseas shipping makes it a little too expensive to gamble on something that might just have the identical track as the common edition of the single. So I figured I'd ask the community, in the chance that someone already owns it.

Haha that was actually me that just updated the Discogs notes after Gonzalo17 linked me to the rip of the CD. Just so anyone else that's curious will know in the future.

Is jannus one

Geat question. Dind' know about this cd

I wanna let you guys know i listen to like a rat does cheese completely unironically. Not even for laughs. Like i just listen with a straight face. I have it on loop for hours sometimes...

True.... a bit ape-like .

LOL. It's just an action photo from the 90s. It's not taken with a camera capable of catching movement so he looks kinda like he's melting. The strips on his shirt and the angle are not helping. In half the photos from my childhood either me or one of my siblings look like this. Funny, I used to hate posing for photos as a kid because we had to stay still for the camera for too long, (oh no a whole 20 seconds!) now I hate it because my friends want to take 20 photos in roughly that same time frame so they can pick "the best" one to put on Insta for literally no one to see.

Why? He is cute on his little skateboard

Thanks so much!

Instead of adding YouTube videos to the social media thread or adding social media posts, I have kind of decided to let the GDC tell me what the news is instead of kind of being a correspondent. My life has been so busy, and I am so much happier. There's nothing really for me to talk about, so, how is everyone? If there's another watch party coming up for a concert, hit me up. I will be the craziest one there .

Well that was fun. Yes, it does have more pages. And the sidebar does work. And i'll never show it. Unless you ask, maybe Good to know i'll never have to touch this site ever again

And the small sizes are gone…. Besides the hood covers half of Billie‘s face, that bothers me. And shipping costs to Germany are horrible anyway.😅

That zip up is sweet! 80 bucks though 😑

Live saviors dvd/cd of saviors in full plus deep cuts played!!

1. Dookie 2. American Idiot 3. Warning -- 4. Nimrod (i think there could have been a bit more demos) -- 5. Insomniac (if they didnt wanna go through with a full box then why include part of a live show rather than putting DWFL, J.A.R, You Lied, Rotting, Good Riddance, Do Da Da and TV onto that second disk?)

That version of "2,000 Light Years Away" was the Kerplunk recording remixed by Rob Cavallo and Jerry Finn to sound more like Dookie's production (Andy Ernst is still credited as the engineer). The version re-recorded in 1993 is still unreleased, probably unmixed. Originally, I thought Richard Dodd remixed the whole album; there was a rumor that the Australian Dookie/Nimrod two-pack featured his remixes instead of the standard release. That seems to be untrue (it seems to just be the exact same CD as the standard Australian release). On the contrary, I found an interview with Richard Dodd that confirms the opposite: Source: https://www.mixonline.com/technology/richard-dodd-online-extra-378080 He mentions only remixing the radio singles. The only released tracks are as follows: Good Riddance Redundant Prosthetic Head You Lied No word on whether remixes were ever made of "Hitchin' a Ride" or "Nice Guys Finish Last." Not sure why "You Lied" was included as well.

im gonna put this here cuz i still really really really like this outfit n i also found more pictures of it today... Ok (I like this one especially)

2,000 light years away’s re-recorded song can be heard on the jerky boys soundtrack and on YouTube. I love it. The Richard Dood remix of nimrod did he remix the whole album and why? If so is that available on YouTube or anywhere? Insomniac has imo the best live tracks they are super fast and raw and peak 90’s GD love the speed of the songs. 21st century breakdown will be the best re release on my view

The only ring I've ever noticed being different is the engraved one that has 80 and a bunch of other stuff engraved on it. I have no idea what magazine I saw that picture on or even when in the last 30 years. I just remember I thought it was so personal and cool. Most of the time when people engrave rings they do it on the inside and I'm always thinking, what's the point of that? It'll wear out and you don't get to see it. Other than maybe a change in metals, I generally don't notice the difference in wedding bands otherwise even on my friends! I am also a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and I had to be told the bride changed her mind and got a different dress than the one we picked out together. I'm not the most observant.

Are we deadass? That track in particular struck me as low quality, but I was assuming it was due to the sources. They also stuck it at the end of the studio tracks in the track listing, when it clearly did not come from the album sessions. I didn't mention that, but I would have loved to hear those. The album essay mentioned how they had to be re-recorded due to fidelity issues, but it feels plausible that they could have been restored with modern tools. I guess we at least get an approximation of those arrangements in the demos (Chump's original ending, Longview's original tempo). An [unrealistic] opportunity to release those would be to release Cavallo's original mix of Dookie in its entirety. The curation of demo tracks comes down to preference, but I tend to value variety: how different they were from the final album. Though it can be hard to balance "vastly different" with "still listenable" when you're dealing with tracks that were never meant to be heard. Things like "Misery" with unfinished scratch vocals are a historical gem, but also not something that I'm going back to super often (ditto with Walking Alone). Though I still like Nimrod because of the eight songs that never made the album entirely.

Gotta say that I'm not too fond on any of them, but for different reasons. Mostly presentation, specially on the demos side. For my consideration, the demos should be able to showcase an evolution (if they choose demos from different stages of writing, like the Nimrod ones) but they end up being presented in a messy way, and it bothers me. Warning demos seems to be the most consistent on that task, as American Idiot ones. I like the AI ones specially because it shows they actually disassembled whole songs to make the record, best example is Lowlife. B-sides are ok, for most part. For the live shows they went stingy and didn't pay for the covers and snippets, witch is sad not to be able to experience a uncut live show. Three special mentions: - Dookie outtakes are good for the most part, but pitch corrected voices on old releases sounds really bad. Chris Dugan did a good job trying to recreate the mixes (as Jerry Finn passed away long time ago, and the songs were never mixed properly), but the election of correcting the voices is lame. I expected a remix of J.A.R, as it never sounded finished to me, that hi-hat is too loud, but didn't happened. - Reprise did a really bad move in trying to masking the demo of walking the dog as a new source but actually is the mp3 rip from ages ago. Raw capitalism. - They missed the chance to finally show the original versions of Chump and Longview.

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to share my thoughts as a Green Day fan and coffee drinker (probably the target audience). I'm no coffee snob, but I really enjoyed picking up a cup of their brew in the morning. I'm usually lazy and settle for K-cup, so having a stronger and more robust brew like this was a treat. I was lucky that I had a participating Speedway near my house and a 7-11 near work, so I was always close to a cup (or a Kerplunk Slurpee in the summer). I was even able to get my Punk Bunny K-Cups from Speedway for home. I didn't know how good I had it back then. They phased out the coffee pots at Speedway and then 7-11. I was crushed because I was secretly hoping it would always be an option. Then they later brought back Mike Dirnt’s “Turn Up The Bass” medium roast at Speedway. Haven't been there in a little while, so I hope that's still there. Anyways, I found the 7-11 Colombia coffee is close enough to Punk Bunny, so that's been my replacement since then. Update: No more brewed Punk Bunny or Kerplunk Slurpee at Speedway 😞. Still K-cups and coffee bags, though

Time for a random photo here. I like this one:

Just realised Sum 41 Thanks for Nothig and GD 21 Guns have the same chords progression EDIT: I mean intro

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.

Happy birthday to Billie Joe! Hope it's great one 🎉

From greendaybrasiloficial on IG, this is so cute:

Was listening to Bang Bang this morning on the train. Still slaps.

Very happy birthday to Billie Joe, wishing him long life, health and happiness. And, once he’s had a good break, inspiration to make more great music 🥳💚😁

I wish him the very best, health and happiness! And inspiration for new music…❤️😊

I think i'll just work on this now otherwise i'll forget about it. Smoothed out slappy hours gimmick website here i come

Yes, i definitely should! I've been thinking of putting something on it since mid-january this year. I don't have any plans though lmao. I'll get back to it anyway. Maybe the entire site should just be smoothed out slappy hours. Who knows

I had two highlights: seeing my beloved band from the front row in Vienna (and hearing Forever Now at that occasion) and spending hours with @Cris. at a beautifully situated cafe in Luxembourg, talking about Green Day and the world…
