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

Can' wait for tonight! Love it here. The bands have been great so far. Here is a write up from a local paper https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/napa/ultra-q-green-day-bottlerock-napa/?artslide=0

Craziest story from my 7/11. I went back to get the straw and speaker, but I had to go to this really sketchy one to get it because the nicer one didn't have any. Anyway, I got the straw, and this homeless guy was following me around the store. So I left, and he ran out with stolen merchandise, and the owner had to run after him. I felt so bad for him because he was so nice New email ONE EYED BASTARD NEW VIDEO + MERCH DROPS TODAY BADA BING Hey friend, ICYMI: Green Day dropped the new One Eyed Bastard video today (catch it here). We're keeping the good times rolling with some fun new OEB inspired merch (including a subscriber-only item)! BADA BOOM Tune in and craft some chaos. xx, Your Friends at Punk Bunny Coffee

I KNOWW. I just got done saying how I got butterflies when he flipped off the camera, hahah

...creative? Whatever it is, all I can think about is Billie flipping off the camera. That gave me butterflies lolll. Besides that, I don't get it, but our boys look fabulous in the performing parts

I volunteer to get the vinyl

What' the name of that one song? Ya know, the one that goes "stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young"? I can't think of the title. more lyrics include "stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young stay young"

No artist ever intends to release uninspired songs but sometimes they may feel forced into doing that. And while I generally don't think Billie, or the band, does that, that's what I get from a track like Here Comes The Shock which imo was clearly released just because they needed to release a song for the NHL. Obviously I can't say that for sure cus I'm not Billie but that's just the vibe I get from that song specifically. These songs could be a similar thing where they had to release tracks for a Deluxe album because every new album seems to be getting a Deluxe release too. Of course, I'm not saying that is the case but it could be. The acoustics specifically feel very lazy to me. Regarding FOAM, Billie was clearly into that album, to this day he still says that he likes that album. So despite my dislike of that album, I wouldn't say that was uninspired or made out of obligation (or to fuck over their label, which is a theory amongst some fans).

Sorry, didn't see that. Thank you!

I respect and agree with you but I'm a tad unsure with the word 'obligation'. Imho I've always felt that Billie Joe's songwriting has always been inspired. What's in his head, what HE wants to convey, never what WE want to hear. What the band decide to release, whether the lyrics make sense or not, is their choice. They're not out to please us. FOAM is a prime example, unpopular maybe, but that's what the band wanted to release. Billie Joe said he wanted to experiment with other styles of music.

These songs were not to bad for being b-sides, neither to good for a new album, so a Deluxe edition for them is reasonable These songs were not to bad for being b-sides, neither to good for a new album, so a Deluxe edition for them is reasonable

We've got a thread here for that -
