The AI20 booklet basically confirms that Reprise thought it was "shitty" and that's why it got shelved by the band However, there is a bias towards unreleased songs most of the time, so no matter how mid or shit C&V turns out to be, there's a high chance of it fucking over fan opinion for some songs (going off of theories), such as Youngblood/Carpe Diem and also Oh Love

I remember before American Idiot came out and they were telling the story of how an entire album's worth of songs "got lost". I immediately assumed that they didn't like it and so blanked the tapes. Nothing I have heard in the last 20 years has made me think any different

Not gonna lie, this was probably one of my favorite Green Day show. Ever

It was the tattoo for her that he wanted to cover after she broke up with him. A poetic way of saying that. Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.

What could dead skin possibly have done to warrant putting it on trial?

I've really overdone it on streaming Green Day lately. My most played from 4 weeks, 6 months and 12 months are nearly ALL Green Day. I almost told Spotify not to play them yesterday at all.

Schedule is 17:30 Doors/18:30 The Pill/19:30 Hot Milk/20:50 Green Day.

I've always wanted The Saints Are Coming. U2 played it a lot in 2006, and I guess it's more their song than Green Day's but....I love it. It would be a lot of fun, and it was pretty successful.

More Insomniac Westbound Sign and Bab’s Ulva Who need to be staples along with Uptight and Bang Bang

ooooo a few of my favs from this post caption: Midsommar night in Stockholm 🥰 we love you Sweden 🇸🇪

I love that song . Thanks for sharing!

I LIVE for Billie in a vest

I can imagine. It was so many crowdsurfers and a lot of movement in the crowd during their entire set. It's difficult to focus on the stage while you're trying to stay on your feet🙈. Glad you and your friend had a good time regardless. ☺️🩷 I had barrier on Jason's side - not super close, sort of by the big screen, but I was glad I had something to hold unto. Right! He brought so much energy and engaged with the crowd in a real good way. When he went into the pit was like "give me my mic stand please" I was like is he for real. 😂 It was real fun to watch. When Billie Joe went on stage with them it was the icing on the cake. Same here 😊. I'm not a fan of festivals and was suprised by how much I liked it. I was there from it opened and walked around the entire festival to see what it was about before I relaxed in the VIP ticket area - which also was pretty nice. This is adorable 🩷 Weezer made a sweet post about the festival too.

I also found the crowd very alive. It was actually my first time where I voluntarily moved further back during a GD show because I got absolutely crushed. Have no memories from Burnout because I was struggeling so hard not to get pushed over and my friend got several shoes in her head from all the crowd surfers 😅 But it was still fun though. I loved it, it was pure fun. I've seen Frank Carter with the Rattlesnakes once before and expected him to be good and he did live up to it. I think he filled the role super well. Glad to hear you had a good time as well! Also agree with your thouhts on the festival in general. I was very pleasantly surprised. Loved the atmosphere. 😊

Some additional info on performance with Sex Pistols: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/watch-green-day-s-billie-joe-armstrong-join-forces-with-frank-carter-and-the-sex-pistols-to-perform-anarchy-in-the-uk/ar-AA1HxtwM?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=e1063a375c64485a92aaf7fc60ff71cf&ei=23

I hope the setlist will get some changes (even if they are just small ones) for the luxembourg show. I *hate* when bands play almost the same set at festival shows and at their own standalone shows. Way more people know the band and their (non-hit) songs. Nothing against festivals, but its mostly casual fans watching the performance.

NGL i feel like not rotating the deluxe tracks is a bad idea, especially to the people who dont really like Fuck Off and prefer the other deluxe tracks also i feel like for now, some of the more likely to return AI and Dookie tracks (Are We, Burnout, Chump?, and Letterbomb) should also maybe take a rest as well for a while, but thats just my opinion

Seems like it. I'm still manifesting no Fuck Off in Amsterdam. 🤭

@Cris. Of course! It looked bad but seems like it went well after all. 🩷 I'm not a festival person either. The only reason I went to this is because it's where I live and with Stockholm it's pretty close by/easy to travel to so it wasn't too expensive. If you ever come to Oslo feel free to ask if you want tips on what to see. 😊 Also, I just remembered - Billie Joe said Happy Pride month before Bobby Sox. 🥳 Billie Joe must be having it out for Texas.. The women I have seen from Texas are gorgeous. Editing this to not make too many posts: I really liked this review (it's in Norwegian), but if any of the fellow Scandinavians haven't seen it. 😊 https://www.nrk.no/p3/anmeldelse_-green-day-pa-tons-of-rock-1.17461803

Ahh thanks! That’s amazing haha. And I like to think that’s a sex pistols setlist he’s kept, just like us

Thank you @Göta & @Beathe. for the additional details about what happened to the bunny. The videos of them falling looked a bit concerning indeed. I guess if they made a few runs along the barricade before going to the stage side, hopefully the arm was hurt but not broken. And thanks for all the additional details about the show @Beathe.! I'm really regretting not having booked any of the Scandinavian festivals! Even if I'm not big on festival, I think just for trip (and escaping the heat!) it would have been fun, and everyone who's attended these shows actually seems to have had such a great time! I also saw them in Texas last year and thought "well thanks Billie " when I read that hahaha

Some friends are looking for tickets. If anyone is selling please let me know 😊 Edit: all sorted now!

Gosh, there is so much footage, will look later and share if I can find it again. https://www.tumblr.com/mikedirnts-sideburns/787492349544710144 Found one, you have to listen quite hard.
