I am selling a signed Billie Joe Armstrong Program from the American Idiot Musical on a night in which Billie Joe performed as St. Jimmy at the St. James theater in NYC and much more. I am willing to not list this item if anyone is interested in any part of what I am offering. I would like to get these super cool items into the hands of a true fan and am willing to make a deal. The American Idiot Playbill Program is in excellent shape, and the magazines and spare playbill program, and inserts from the actual play itself are near mint and have been stored away under lock and key as part of my personal Green Day collection since returning home from New York City. The (3) Rolling Stones Magazines range from 2009-2016 and detail the debut of 21st Century Breakdown, the iHeart Radio meltdown and eventual sobering up of BJA and then the release of the Revolution Radio album. The ticket from the St James Theater, in which I used to attend the show in which the item was signed by BJA and 7 cast members remains in excellent shape and was scanned meaning it was never torn or ripped !!! I meant to make an awesome display using the two playbill programs, and the three magazines inserts but never got around to framing it so my loss is your gain. I have decided my collection needs to be thinned out a bit as it's taking up too much space in my home. I also have a in a Pinhead Gunpowder "Unt" poster as well as their new Vinyl relase of "Unt" featuring Billie Joe Armstrong and Jason White of Green Day and will throw in an entire Rudy Can't Fail Menu direct from Emeryville during the time in which Mike Dirnt of Green Day co-owned the restaurant if the offer to buy all or most of this is a good one. Thank you in advance. Please contact me if interested or want to see tons of pictures of these items

Another interview with Billie Joe to add to @solongfromthestars if ok. The American Dream Is Killing Me: In an interview with Ayesha Rascoe of Washington DC-based NPR (National Public Radio) in January 2024, Billie Joe discussed the inspiration for the song. "I think being in California and seeing, like, houseless people just on the street and people without options in life and the cost of living going up, it, like, creates that chaos and depression that is sort of what the song sort of reflects." Billie Joe went to explain why he feels the song needs to be redefined. "It's like the working class has become sort of a service industry, and we're not really giving very many options to people. You know, in the 1970's, my dad was a truck driver. He was a teamster. My mom was a waitress. Six kids in the house, and they were able to afford their own home. But I think now I don't really see that being very feasible for a lot of people." I can't remember reading the following before, so soz if repeated: An overview comment from Billie Joe again from Vulture in January 2024. "We had a large batch of songs that we recorded in London, and when we saw it come together, I remember thinking, 'Oh, this is the connection'. Saviors does fell like a trifecta with Dookie and American Idiot, where it feels like a life's work. I went from not knowing what the hell I was doing, to going, 'Oh gosh, we managed to bridge the gap between those two huge albums'." (both articles taken from The Story of Green Day)

Christian's Inferno needs to replace St. Jimmy for at least a few shows. On another note it took me a bit to realise my post had been turned into a thread and that I hadn't just forgotten I'd done it 😂

Wait 4 more years for the Deluxe edition 😟

I wish they would team up with Bitch Vig again. The sounds on this album are perfection.

ill never understand why CI specifically was only played 4 times imagine if they pull it out this year whenever they get LNOE back on the setlist

Happening tomorrow. GET HYPEPPEDDDDD. I'll enjoy yall's posts from the comfort of my home lolll

That's a very smart idea, hahah

I found the slurpee today! I was glad they had the cup in stock but I didn't want that much of the slurpee so I filled up a small cup and put it in the big cup lol. Personally I didn't care for the flavor that much, it didn't taste like grape to me, it kinda tasted like smarties candies (the American version) with a hint of pineapple. Not saying it was bad, just saying it's not for me https://www.instagram.com/p/DJsS-1pu2dB/?igsh=MTBuazR6bjd5aTgyaQ==

I really hope they’ll play the song 21st Century Breakdown live again someday. I love that song—ever since the first time I heard the demo version.

Got my ticket!

Oooh, maybe if we start campaigning now we will get a live show for the 20th anniversary?

So beyond excited for this tomorrow! 💪

We are so excited to see you tomorrow at Welcome to Rockville! My 14 year old son who is an aspiring guitarist/singer will be attending too!!

I suppose it's to late now of any chance of a Bullet in Bible 2, double CD/DVD of 21st C live show?

I know that, I didn't mean that they can't make good stuff today, because they clearly can (Fancy Sauce is my top 2 Green Day song of all time), and by no means I want them to go that path again with all the backlashes it had. I'm truly greatful they are still making music in their terms, and in the end, that's what is the most important to me. This won't change my opinion that 21stCB era is clearly their golden era from a fanbase point of view. Their best shows were made there. Promo was amazing, MVs mostly flawless, my first show was in 2010. I can't overstate this enough

I heard this will be streamed? Can anyone confirm? If so will someone record? Please

Probably. But taking into account how much this effort cost Billie, I think it’s okay. Very happy with the level of Saviors!

Still by far their best. It had everything. We won't see this level again

Your right the 21st C tour was amazing, although AI is still my fav. If you want to see and experience the ultimate live show on planet earth, only GD has done that.

Goodness, how is that possible! I remember running out of work up to the record shop to buy the CD and it was playing when I went in. It’s also the first tour I saw them live and I just couldn’t believe how amazing they were live. We had a ton of hassle with tickets but it was still worth it. Still love the whole album and listen to it regularly.

This is their best along with Insomniac. Still shocked that Last Night On Earth wasn’t a single or Restless Heart Syndrome.

Static Noise reboot when?

21CB remains one of my top 3 Green Day albums. Honestly probably top 2. I always go back to it. East Jesus Nowhere and Horseshoes and Hand grenades are still two of the most pump-ass songs Green Day has released.
