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.

Has anyone heard anything specific about side projects coming up between now and between Green Day working on a new album? I hope it’s the Longshot or something new.

The piano intro is vastly inferior but on the plus side I don't feel insane now. Good find.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 😅
