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?

I like how the first 3 songs you listened to were all released 15 years apart from the last, covering a good chunk of their discography. Welcome to the fandom!

If I remember correctly Billie said that 21st CB is one of his favorite albums, but that the majority of the songs reminds him of being drunk, tired and having mental problems during that time, and that's why they don't play anything of that reord, besides KYE, 21 guns and Murder City obviously.. I can't see that we're gonna get a new album like this again 😕 I really hope that they go beyond their "comfort zone" and just put out a album with variety, all from acoustic songs to ballads to short and fast songs or anything in between

when you walked into the local pub (cause there was live music on) and the person is playin good riddance and you have to resist the urge to jump up and start singing along Xb i did lmao-

Yes, and anytime a GD song comes on anywhere, you can’t leave til it’s done.

Another rock opera would be really great. At the beginning of the Saviors era I thought that they release a zombie-themed concept album because of the website, video, and so on. On the other hand I think that 21CB was also the product of Billie's mental state at this time, so I don't expect another album like this ever again (maybe luckily for Billie's health).

When you listen to Goodnight Adeline and feel sad knowing you'll never get to buy from that fashion brand again.

i actually got into them through my best friend and some other people. his favourite band has been green day for a long time, so i asked a few friends online for some suggestions. the first three green day songs i ever listened to were dilemma, east jesus nowhere, and longview.

Hugging Billie Joe in Vienna

Check out the GDA roundup of this year's highlights! https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6272/ What was YOUR personal highlight? Mine was hearing Suzie Chapstick live, but the bits of Stay the Night and Redundant acoustic that we got in Vienna were close seconds.

Seeing the Coverups last January, what a treat!

everyone in reply to this called him a dumbass for saying "billy joe" billie joe himself (if im not mistaken) also stepped in and called him an asshole

Green Day pop up a time or two and this video is pretty good.

Same here. I'd love to see something with that level of ambition again.

Could really be an age thing… Interesting! I love this album. Also because it’s different. ❤️

When you hear Good Riddance playing from your boss' office and have to resist running in there. Cause, ya know, I haven't heard it enough times.

Yes, absolutely!🥰😍 I love this! And I miss them…🥲

i forgot i had this. i was gonna put this here on christmas but i forgot... anyways, christmas billie

I guess that IS a lot. How did you get into them?

For me, it was definitely seeing them at Riot Fest. I camped out at the stage since 11:15 am, but the barrier was already claimed by Green Day fans (The festival opened at 11)! I became super dehydrated to the point of my cheeks sinking into my face. I moshed until I felt like I had to puke. It was the most glorious time I’ve ever had at a Green Day show. It was also great to be there on my own and not have to worry about anyone and if they were having a good time. 100% would do it again. I’d do it tomorrow.

My personal highlights were the nights when I stayed up to watch live-streamed shows with everyone, like the Fire Aid show. Those days were fun . Wow, two days until 2026......

Seeing them live at Download festival during the Summer. Such an amazing atmosphere and the crazy timing of the rain starting on cue during WMUWSE.

Seeing the live definitely, it was so surreal seeing so many people shouting out the lyrics and just as crazy as me all in one place, and not to mention the performance was so awesome And them performing missing you was just chef's kiss

Every single time you say y'know (and I say it a lot, even before I was into Green Day) I immediatly start thinking about Green Day

no idea, but there's a good chance it would and wouldnt be. such a large majority of people my age despise the entire father of all album. i know i do, because i can't even listen to the songs unironically without throwing my headphones across the room due to my sensory issues... and i also get mad at stab you in the heart just because of it's recycled use of fuck time and whatnot. a lot of other people also say it just doesn't sound like green day. to me i'd agree mainly in terms of vocals mainly but i see why they say that. i can't hear what billie says in any part of the song despite not having as strong of an accent as he did in insomniac... seriously, i hear his words better in insomniac than in any foamf song. to be honest i've only met one person who likes any part of the album around my age. in the end, there's probably a big group of people who still love it anyways. i wouldn't know.

Do you guys think Father of All will be included on a greatest hits collection when it's time for one?

Lots of fangirl moments in their roundup… https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS7yOz6EYlH/?igsh=dTJ0bDl3a2JpdnNu

its not a lot, but the day i finally got into green day was this year, 8th of march. actually, maybe that is a lot. im a newbie, and i missed the one time they came to australia this decade.

seeing the band live on my birthday, 3rd of March in Sydney! Amazing show!!

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…

Welcome to the Fancy Sauce fan club! 😂 It's been my favorite from the album since day one, and I am no where near to getting tired of it. Father to a Son is probably my least favorite from the album.

it makes sense and all.. but I'd wish he'd just delete the app 😭

When you are bothered again and again by those Reddit folks spelling Billie‘s name Billy!😡

By European standards he’s definitely not a leftist, more of a center-left, but Americans categorize Bernie as a leftist, and he’s 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 “leftist”.

I couldn't lol Billie isn't a centrist he's a leftist liberal and a punk. He will never be a centrist especially not at a time when the right is absolutely insane and doing horrendous damage across the earth Because you have some reasonable stances doesn't make your unreasonable and harmful stances any more justified. If you are pro what ICE is doing right now and pro forced birth and denying women bodily autonomy those are fascist stances and you can expect to be judged for them

Not to go too off topic, but if you're on the fence about mass deportations, trans rights or the genocide in Gaza, then I think you've made your choice. I'm not talking about either of you personally, but more and more these days saying you're in "the middle" just means you're on the right but are too afraid to say it.

Personally, I don't think we should be extending olive branches to Nazis but that's just me!
