I haven't watched it in a while but man, what a time! I got the dvd/CD set for Xmas that year. After we opened gifts I rushed to my room to watch it. After that I would often pop in the DVD and just fast forward to my favorite parts (no man can eat 50 eggs, Billie sleeping, tre putting on eyeliner, vocal warm ups). BIAB is still one of my favorite live releases of all time. I'm a sucker for the documentary mashed with love footage take and this is what I want from live releases. It's kind of like Depeche Mode's 101 another fantastic live film.

Sweet find! I cherish my trilogy box set. I got it from the Canadian store for like half off.

I'm not super into them but I wanted a few for my collection. I thought they would release regular packs but since they did expensive ass box sets, I bought a few individual cards on eBay for like 1.25. highly recommend that route because you can get the exact designs you want. I remember DESPERATELY searching for that episode because I didn't have cable at the time 😂 now I gotta find it again!

Billie Joe has said the only way he’s leaving this band is in a coffin. Artists like McCartney, Dylan, and the Stones have proved you can tour well into your eighties. That might be a bit more challenging for Green Day given the type of music they perform but if there’s a will, there’s a way. Intermissions, acoustic portions of the set, there are so many different ways of going about it. I don’t worry about a “final tour” anytime soon. How many final tours have Motley Crue and KISS had? The love and joy of what they do isn’t going anywhere. They’re friends. This is what they’ve done since they were teenagers or even before. It’s the only thing they know how to do really. Make music and perform it. They’ll do that as Green Day as long as we have all three members with us. And their music will live on forever.

I had a weird feeling during the Hella Mega Tour. The 21stcB Tour in 2009 was my first Green Day Tour and that tour was the point for me to go „yep, they‘re my favorite live band“. I never had a doubt during the trilogy and RevRad tour. But then covid began and after a long wait they started the Hella Mega Tour in 2022 in Europe. And don‘t get me wrong, it wasn‘t a bad tour (especially I really like FOB and Weezer), but I didn‘t like the short set and EXACT same songs (maybe they changed Waiting/King for a Day with She and Pollyanna. Btw fuck you „rock n roll all nite 😂). I thought „ok, they‘re still my fave Band and I‘ll go to as many shows as I can, but we‘ve already seen the peak of their live shows“. And you know what? The Saviors tour prove me wrong. It felt like almost the 21st Tour where they changed a little bit during in the middle of the set and towards the end of the set and got a little bit more spontaneous like they used to during 21st/RevRad. Sure Billie isn‘t 35 anymore and won‘t jump around for 2.5 hours a day like he used to. But he still sounds amazing and I‘ve seen a lot of bands in their 20s/30s and Green Day still kick their ass today. Am I afraid to see an announcement for a final tour one day? Oh hell yes, I‘m scared. But I think they got 10 years at least and I think Billie has a lot to say during these shitty days in the world

I agree, I haven't seen them yet despite how much I want too. No one told me they were in my city at the time they were there.

I love it when 2 of my fave things come together! I'd knew of Al Sobrante but I just thought his nickname was because he came from there or something

the feeling is real. But when it comes to this and the million other things I'm anxioius about ALL THE TIME (lol) I try to remember what I can control and what I can't control. There's so little that I can control that it's a relief to let all that go (but it takes practice, it's not a "now that you've read this all you're problems will melt away" situation). I missed years of them touring, pretty much from after the 21CB to the FOAM era, because of being mental (not in the fun way) and that's a huge regret that I'll always carry. Now I put money away for "Green Day" so I will hopefully have enough money to see them more that once if I'm lucky enough to get to see them on tour again. It's really all I can do

I understand where you come from. I think the feeling is 100% real, and at some point life will happen for the band members, the shows will be less energetic and the "dad rock" will escalate. We also have a tendency to compare them now and in the past. Yes, Billie isn't jumping as much around on stage and he uses a teleprompter, and they don't play intimate shows that much anymore. But, some things we know are the truth: 1. They are as tight as ever 2. They show no signs of not wanting to perform 3. They just played a tour where they played 2 albums in full + even more songs from other albums 4. They clearly love what they're doing - trust that feeling!

To get Billie out of the band you „have to put him in a fucking coffin“. And as long as the band exists they will do shows, they love it. So I‘m not anxious about that. I‘m just missing them right now… (Besides, being in the fifties doesn’t feel old! I know that….😅)

That is very true 😂 welcome to the fandom!! I absolutely LOVE how many new fans joined in the Saviors era! I suppose I should focus on feeling grateful for how many times I have seen them over the last 20 years ❤️ I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day too! as Mike said in that bass interview last week, he’s a race car not a pace car 😂

Knowing my best friend got to see them n i didn't makes me all a little more anxious about it :') i haven't seem them yet as a very new fan (march 2025). As they get older i also get that same anxiety thinkin i'll never see them even once, lol. Maybe never even in a cardboard box i'll see em. But... billie is restless. If he breaks his back playing i know he's probably gonna come out on stage on a wheelchair still rocking the hell out

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have to get it off my chest somewhere… for the last few weeks I randomly have been having weird anxiety that GD will never do as big of a tour as they did for Saviors ever again. And the last time I saw them (Citi Field 2024) I had this bizarre sinking feeling of “what if this is the last time I see them live.” It sounds silly as I type it out but I can’t help it! Y’all please tell me I’m not crazy and other people have had this same thought 😅 I know it’s unreasonable but damn it’s hard to watch the guys get older!

I didn't think you'd still be able to buy them? I thought they sold out fast. I think they're really cool but I hate the idea of not knowing what I'm going to get. So I'm not buying.

Sooo I was thinking: is anyone into the Green Day Garbage Pail Kids cards? When they came out, I really wanted them, but nowadays I'm like meh lol. Anyone still buying them?

Ahah I know who they are. They're from my city. Great band, great guys too.

Is everyone in a mask green day at this point

^yup, that's definitely Billie playing that microtonal craziness 😅

angine de poitrine is a new mysterious rock band. Due to their disguises, they could be Green Day.

I like thinking of those pictures, lol. I wish i could watch that episode, but I can't cuz i cant find it anywhere (unless i resort to pirating again...) edit: i found it. God i love pirating

Just remembered that Billie Joe played Charlie Chaplin in an episode of Drunk History. Some of the new fans here might get a kick of seeing it if they can find it!

Good thing i solved it for you

That promo came out around Warning era. Around that time and ISH era there were several promos with GD Hits. I remember Rock Block Sampler and the one to promote Pop Disaster tour. Also, there was a promo sampler for International Super Hits. Talking about When I come around singles, there were some versions. The most known version is the one which includes Coming Clean and She live from Aragon Ballroom (Chicago 1994). This is the same concert in which Billie starting She he said that "You worry?" speech. Sadly, this was cut in the single. There is a promo which has a live version of When I Come Around from Woodstock 1994. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same version from Woodstock 94 Compilation (The official one, not the GD bootleg) And finally, there is another version which has some live track from Jannus Landing (Tampa, Florida) 1994. These are the covers for all these singles and promos. The most common version of the single. This cover was for Australian and some European versions This is a Spanish Promo. This is a US Promo And this is a UK Promo
