The problem with Stay Young is the potential it has. The melody is great and with an actual chorus it could be elevated way more. The repetition makes it feel like such a drag and feels much longer than it is. It feels unfinished like they could have worked on it more and brought out a great song in it.

This is the only Green Day video I really don't like. The song is so much fun and seeing someone getting tortured/killed isn't, and neither is a child abuser (if that's what he's meant to be), and everything is ugly. Just an unnecessarily unpleasant video. The original is perfect so I'll stick with that.

It's the only Green Day video I actively dislike. The ONLY saving grace is Billie's hotness and fabulous outfit.

In the Kerrang article he says he is doing long runs and swimming in the sea a lot, it’s clearly good for him, he looks amazing! He says the running is good for his mental health, not an original thought but so true and I’m glad it’s working for him.

…when the simple act of buying tea can turn out to be quite funny. This morning I went to my favorite tea shop (that has a very charming owner) to buy the usual Sencha tea. The owner was there and began telling me about this new brand they had and how good it was, showing me the package. And on the label it said „Japan Sencha Green Day“. Hilarious: I’m very sure this German tea company has no clue that a band by that name exists nor what the expression Green Day actually means…😂 By now the owner probably was wondering why I was grinning all over my face, and so I told him that as a huge fan of the band Green Day I would of course try that tea. And he said that in the past he had also been a fan and bought all their albums. So I recommended Saviors and he promised to listen to it. What a nice shopping experience!😊

Really love reading members views on GD songs. So, fascinated with the fans song ranking on greenday.fm. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-song-chart-top-50/ The link shows top 50, but you can click at end to get full list of 263 songs. Wow. Currently 'Dilemma' is number 3, my fav song 'Look Ma, No Brains', no. 15. And new in at no. 38 is 'Ballyhoo'.

I can confirm they played 2000 LYA! It was so great! And no, the show definitely didn't end after that

You're not the only one. I love stay young and it's green day. I'll take stay young than those three skippable songs from tré album(trilogy)

I’m surprised people aren’t more in love with Stay Young I mean definitely repetitive, but let’s be real it’s GD To me the song just sounds so nostalgic warm fuzzy and ugh. so good.

I haven’t spun saviors in a long time, but my immediate reaction to these deluxe-o treats are the following: all these songs would sound great live in a smaller setting a la pre-trilogy release shows! Belushi: Love it! Just Green Day being fun Green Day! Stay young: sounds a little like U2 meets whatsername. Really good ideas here, a little network like in the vocal styles, I can dig it! F off: hmmm. The guitars and bass rip it up! Might be a grower not a shower. It’s not that annoying, kinda fun. Will have to revisit this at a future date Ballyhoo: I love it! Fun Green Day mode activated! Could have been included on the album. the acoustic songs are just the drums and bass muted, ideally designed for content creators to record their own performances and hopefully get a lot more followers! Wooo! Underdog: I love it! A healthy blend of nimrod and trilogy and would sound great performed live in a music club. I actually appreciate the difference in sound quality in the mix. Would be comfortable on the shenanigans comp. Stay green, my people! Enjoy!

top 3 (not counting the deluxe) 1. Corvette Summer 2. Look Ma! No Brains 3. Fancy Sauce Honorable Mentions: Living In The 20s, Dilemma, 1981, Suzie and Bobby

Looking at the tracklist for Saviors made me realize it's so hard to pick just one! Dilemma is great, Corvette Summer is a fucking banger, LMNB is just punk rock goodness, and Suzie Chapstick tugs at my heart strings. But I have to give it to Fancy Sauce. For a song with such a silly title, it's so heavy in what it tackles. In a way the title is disarming. It lures you into these false sense of security. Oh this is going to be the silly song. And then you're getting an exhausted Billie singing about feeling like he's going crazy in a world that's going crazy. I love every minute of it.

I totally forgot we got an animated video already. So their choice to make an underwhelming live action video is even weirder now. Give me Fancy Sauce instead!

No disrespect to Jon Batiste but I'm soooo sick of these hear for the first time videos. Most of the time I think people are hamming it up or lying for the camera.

Nice to look forward to an in print version of Kerrang. I ordered my copy!

Billie is giving the camera such good face

The video was fine. I loved the performance bits. Billie looks fabulous. The whole time I was thinking he shouldn't have so much hair at his age! The overarching story? Eh....sure?? But the real star of the show is the OEB plushie. I want one, please.

I've only done one listen through the deluxe edition, but as others have said, I'm underwhelmed. Stay Young starts off pretty good, and then we get to the clunky hook. It's repetitive, and the song overall seems unfinished. Fuck Off....ugh it's not great. It's trying way too hard to be edgy. It just doesn't work. And thank you, everyone who said it sounds like Murder City! I knew it sounded like another GD song, but I couldn't place which one. Smash It like Belushi is such a throwaway track. It's not bad; it's pretty catchy, but nothing special. One of those songs I'll forget about it and then go "oh yeah" when it comes up on shuffle. Ballyhoo, I actually like a lot more now. I think it's the strongest out of the bunch. It actually sounds like it could be on Saviors and feels like the most complete song. Underdog is pretty good too! I quite enjoyed that one. The acoustic versions are disappointing. Are they really just the regular versions of the song with certain elements isolated or removed? No wonder they sound exactly like the originals. And why Father to a Son? The song is already a ballad. An acoustic version isn't really gonna do much for it. Honestly, this deluxe release is pretty meh overall. Even if they wanted to include all these songs, I would've loved it if they included some live tracks of Saviors songs or maybe even some demos. That would make the release feel a bit more worth it to me.

setlist fm is claiming 2000 LYA (yet isnt showing it for some reason) update: apparently the show ended after 2000 LYA, which i really doubt for several reasons

no live stream?

Wow, it’s a lot like that actually.

Let me know what happens. I am excited for you guys, ahhah

I'm here too! They go on in 10 mins. Eeeee! So excited

This is a live reaction; I am listening as we speak (minus the acoustics, I don't have much of an opinion, I still love them as much as the originals. Well, I actually like Suzie more) Stay Young: I actually really like it. Super repetitive, but Billie's voice is my favorite. Fuck Off: Legit murder city. Atleast I already know how to play it on guitar loll Underdog: Not as bad as Fever, but if you all have read my other posts, I despise fever. Def at the bottom, but not terrible Rankings: 🥇Ballyhoo 🥈Smash It Like Belushi 🥉Suzie Chapstick (acoustic) 4. Stay Young 5. Fuck Off 6. Father to a Son (acoustic) 7. Underdog
