I download the CDs onto the computer and listen to them that way. My record player has needed replacing for a long time so I can't play the vinyls I collect currently

Today's technology allows me to download all GD stuff in MP3 onto my moby (cell) all safely stored in a cloud, in preference to streaming. And that's really cool. But, imho, the output quality on mobile phones just ain't the same as vinyl. The sound quality of vinyl is something else, there's no comparison, again imho. So, out and about it's headphones on with my moby. But at home, it's vinyl time, speakers on full blast, jump up and down and blow my fuckin' head off. Awesome. Also, maybe it's me, but there's a sorta affinity when buying a vinyl record like a photo, a snapshot in time. Back in December '91, after seeing GD live for the first time, I couldn't wait to get hold of my copy of Kerplunk from my local underground (literally) record store. The feeling of queuing up to collect my copy from the guy behind the counter. My whole body is shaking with excitement. But first, the inspection. The guy carefully takes the record out of it's sleeve making sure not to touch the record surface. Shows me each side of record. But wait, there's a mark there, is that a scratch. Fuck that, another copy please, it must be perfect. Leave the store with my copy in shiny plastic bag. My personal vinyl copy that would be a part of me and change my life for ever. Body, soul and spirit. Both the music and the lyrics. More valuable than a bar of gold. It's scratched to fuck now, cover totally trashed.(Got a new copy though). And still brings back, not only the thrill of an amazing new sound at the time, but what was going on in my life at the time. And this feeling repeated itself every time I bought each new GD record, in vinyl of course.

Today is the 34th anniversary of Kerplunk. I love this record. And I love „Words I might have ate“, and I‘ve just found the following video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSQcxLIiI-x/?igsh=MThsbmc0MzdibDBlcQ== Billie sounds amazing, and Tre singing is so cool (so it’s Tre Cool😜). Love it!

I collect vinyls, and in the evening I sometimes put them on and that feels cosy somehow and a bit like a celebration of the music. Apart from that I use Spotify. And in the car we‘ve got CDs.

yeah, i normally use cds most of the time :DD (my parents have so many from when they were young) like, especially in our car cause i hate the songs on the radio so much lmao XD and i have a cd player in our house too which is pretty handy :3 i use spotify an all sometimes like at school and shit tho XDD

I have a question for those that buy physical media (vinyl, CDs, etc.). Do you actually listen to them, or do you still listen via streaming but just like having them in your collection? I have a couple CDs, but I still just stream the music when I listen since I’m usually in the car or working or doing something that makes it inconvenient to use physical media. But I’m always tempted to buy more CDs or vinyl anyway (even though I don’t actually have a record player).

I am unreasonably disappointed about missing this concert. This was about 3 hours away from me, so definitely could have driven there. But I didn’t know about it until it was happening. I know that realistically I probably couldn’t have gone on the spur of the moment like that anyway, because I have too much happening at home and work right now. But I still can’t help feeling that I really missed out, I guess because their concerts are few and far between. I really hope there will be more Bay Area shows in the near future!

woah nice this thread exists?? these two are pretty old, havent made some fan art for months 😩 but ill make some more tomorrow sure Xb OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING HOLY SHIT THE LIGHTING IS AWESOMEEE TOOO OMG EPICCC ✨🔥❤️🤘

I already had the fresh current things!😂 And the FBHT album I simply ordered from a German online shop, normal price for a vinyl. Don’t ask what I paid for the other one though …😅 I found it at Discogs.

leave your windows open, wide open... let in that fresh air... joking, of course... i love foxboro hottubs though. i would kill for that album

Got myself some early Christmas presents!😃

i just realised this thread exists... anyways, i finished this today: it doesn't really look all that much like billie, but i'll go with it i wish i could do realism off of paper, but it's cool to do other stuff too.

Yes, he said "Nice try!" and took back the guitar. But we preferred to have Billie play it himself anyway!

i saw that too... didn't billie kick him off and just play good riddance on his own after that?

I saw this guy on stage trying to play Wonderwall instead of Good Riddance.😂

I didn't see this. But my sister read about someone having to go to the hospital afterwards because they got Tre's drumstick thrown in their face, lol. They were happy because they got the drumstick though lol.

i really dont know tbh, for myself, nothing too overly special happened.. i mean ig if you think that confetti flying everywhere counts then yeah but let me know, what have you seen at a green day concert that makes it special?

we might all 😔

I hate him (affectionately) 😭

my first was Bad brains second was greenday and third was husker du

Mine was either Good Riddance or Brain Stew

something about this outfit...

I had a dream the other night that I brought my horse along to a Green Day show. Luckily he was just vibing, lol. But it was kind of weird.

Handsome rewards for all!!!! 🎅
