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.

My gosh, has it been that long? Crazy. This record changed my life. I still remember listening to it for the first time. I put it on while playing video games and by the time of Christian’s Inferno I paused the game and was simply entranced. 21st Century Breakdown made me a Green Day fan. American Idiot felt like it belonged to everyone but Breakdown felt like it could be mine. Maybe not my *favorite* GD record anymore but the songwriting hasn’t been matched since, the production is the best anyone not named Rob Cavallo has done for them, it’s just brimming with musical ideas. And of course that tour- you just had to be there. The emo aesthetic put a lot non-fans off this record but they’re missing out.

It really is special. While it’s also tragic that Billie writes his best songs when he’s deeply unhappy. I want those great songs and lyrics but I also want him to be happy…

Imho this is why GD has been and always will be so special. As well as awesome unique music. The songs written by Billie Joe, and there are so many, contain lyrics that are, close to his heart, describe his life experiences and trials. Many of them, particularly the '90s, I could relate to having experienced them myself. As well as the music, his life experiences he shared helped me to move on to a better time. ❤️

21st Century Breakdown has been out for 16 years today. I was 14 when it was released and the album is now older than that. How is that even possible?! 😳 It's still my favourite Green Day album and probably my favourite album of all time. Sentimentally my favourite song from it is still ¡Viva La Gloria! but objectively I think American Eulogy is the best and also one of Green Day's best live songs. Only Forever Now can compete.

I would love to win this! 16 years ago today I turned 14 and 21CB was released. That was the turning point for me for turning into a giant Green Day fan, and nothing has changed since

Thank you so much! I like your interpretation, I mean it’s sad but it makes sense to me. And I didn’t know the part about Adeline Street.

The phrase 'meet my maker' does refer to dying, but it could be death by suicide or death by alcoholism. And this has reminded me that there's a quote from Billie (from The Sun I think, but I'm not going to give them any clicks because it's a garbage newspaper) about Goodnight Adeline: 'Goodnight Adeline deals with depression. The very last line is about when I get my shit together, "I know I’m going to climb my way out of this. I know I gotta wait for my Phoenix to rise from the ashes of this." That song makes me think of singing in a stadium in England. It’s got a chorus you can really sing along to.' I'm pretty sure the Adeline in the song is the street in Oakland. Because it's such a long, significant street, it has a lot of bars and clubs, so the drunks of Oakland have spent a lot of time on and around it. However, I do think he's talking to a person, not the street itself or his alcoholism – perhaps saying goodbye to them from 'the gutter' his face is in outside an Adeline Street bar as they walk away ('you're going to say goodbye and let it go') because he chose alcohol over them ('I'm going to drink my wine and let it go'). Or maybe he is saying goodbye to the street as a metaphor for trying to walk away from his alcoholism, but it's too late; the subject is already gone and he gives in again. Since it comes before Suzie Chapstick on the record, I assume that's who he's talking to and that the goodbye in this song is the prequel to 'will I ever see your face again?' When I first heard Goodnight Adeline, my interpretation was a bit different – I imagined someone staring out of their window at Adeline Street, too depressed to move, so that view is their entire world. They can't force themselves out to actually deal with their problems, they stay inside drinking instead, and so someone they love walks away. That would lead into 'outside my window ... it's just another vacant cold and lonely night' and 'outside my window, there is nothing but a sky.' Just my personal interpretations, obvs.

And Billie and Adrienne had Adeline clothing.

When a random celeb who is of Italian descent does one of those special trips to visit and learn about where his Italian ancestor was born, and all you can think about is Billie Joe making pasta and riding horses in Viggiano 🥹

I don't know if it helps but people were discussing possible meanings in this thread after the album came out. There's also a long street in Oakland called Adeline Street and the guys had a record label called Adeline Records which closed around 2017 I think (anyone feel free to correct me if I have the date wrong).

Me please!!!!

Anything? We can say ANYTHING here? Oh man. This is so freeing!!!! I know exactly what I'm going to post.
