If they wanted to ever go dark or edgy then Bang Bang would have been THE song to do it in. Not OEB. I still have no idea the meaning behind the OEB video. I also wish they would add Bang Bang to the set list as it was a #1 single and cut Know Your Enemy or even May hitchin a ride. But overall waste of a video should have put the production and money behind a different song. TADIKM made sense to go wild. Ashamed that that song seems to have dropped from the setlist

That’s a fair point. I think I like it so much because of the potential, but I have been feeling disappointed too because if they had given it more time and care, I really think this could’ve fit right into the album, rather than being a B-Side. These guys have been recycling melodies a bit in recent albums, so maybe this will get a facelift and the care it deserves in a future release? Probably not, but a boy can dream

Oh man, is this my new rep on GDC? The Grohl: Hates LOTAG, said hi to Kevin once, and despises the GD store? I'm very happy you had a good experience with the official store!

For me it'll always be from Dookie to nimrod. Most of it to me is just three dudes rolling up to gigs in whatever they wore the previous day thrashing away on beat up instruments, which I found relatable when I was getting into the band. Nimrod they started to do more of the stage bits, but it still carried the feel I described. Certainly lends itself since they would roll up in mechanics' shirts at that time.

Bad luck, I‘ve got Süd for both nights. 😕 But hey, GDC! Who else would like to meet for queuing? Then we can meet according to the entrance we‘ve got!

What have you got? I just checked and I have Nord (for both nights)

I actually like all of the new songs (minus the acoustics, they are fine but I was expecting something more raw) Green Day loves the Fuck Off riff: Murder City Carolina’s Ultimate Netflix Tweet the end of Letterbomb …probably others I can’t think of right now

Well that took a dark turn 😐 I thought that too... either pedophile or domestic violence? But very dark turn either way. Yeah, totally agree (except there are two other GD videos I really don't like)... and it's a shame too, because the performance bits were quite good, and as mentioned the guys are looking cute as ever.

A little snippet can be heard of (what I believe) is Lenny at 0:15 in Underdog 🐶

As I‘m going alone on the second night I‘d love to meet some of you to queue together. But I‘m not sure when. General opinion seems to be that very early queuing doesn’t make sense because of the VIP tickets. And there seem to be different entrances for the FOS tickets: Nord and Süd. So different queues probably…

I’m doing both of these shows!! I’m VIP for night one, regular front standing for night 2. Would love a meet up. My first time in Austria!! Also, my friend is planning on camping and I definitely will not be doing that so if anyone wants to be queue buds let me know! I can do early but not that early 😂

The problem with Stay Young is the potential it has. The melody is great and with an actual chorus it could be elevated way more. The repetition makes it feel like such a drag and feels much longer than it is. It feels unfinished like they could have worked on it more and brought out a great song in it.

This is the only Green Day video I really don't like. The song is so much fun and seeing someone getting tortured/killed isn't, and neither is a child abuser (if that's what he's meant to be), and everything is ugly. Just an unnecessarily unpleasant video. The original is perfect so I'll stick with that.

It's the only Green Day video I actively dislike. The ONLY saving grace is Billie's hotness and fabulous outfit.

In the Kerrang article he says he is doing long runs and swimming in the sea a lot, it’s clearly good for him, he looks amazing! He says the running is good for his mental health, not an original thought but so true and I’m glad it’s working for him.

…when the simple act of buying tea can turn out to be quite funny. This morning I went to my favorite tea shop (that has a very charming owner) to buy the usual Sencha tea. The owner was there and began telling me about this new brand they had and how good it was, showing me the package. And on the label it said „Japan Sencha Green Day“. Hilarious: I’m very sure this German tea company has no clue that a band by that name exists nor what the expression Green Day actually means…😂 By now the owner probably was wondering why I was grinning all over my face, and so I told him that as a huge fan of the band Green Day I would of course try that tea. And he said that in the past he had also been a fan and bought all their albums. So I recommended Saviors and he promised to listen to it. What a nice shopping experience!😊

Really love reading members views on GD songs. So, fascinated with the fans song ranking on greenday.fm. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-song-chart-top-50/ The link shows top 50, but you can click at end to get full list of 263 songs. Wow. Currently 'Dilemma' is number 3, my fav song 'Look Ma, No Brains', no. 14. And new in at no. 37 is 'Ballyhoo'.

I can confirm they played 2000 LYA! It was so great! And no, the show definitely didn't end after that

You're not the only one. I love stay young and it's green day. I'll take stay young than those three skippable songs from tré album(trilogy)

I’m surprised people aren’t more in love with Stay Young I mean definitely repetitive, but let’s be real it’s GD To me the song just sounds so nostalgic warm fuzzy and ugh. so good.

I haven’t spun saviors in a long time, but my immediate reaction to these deluxe-o treats are the following: all these songs would sound great live in a smaller setting a la pre-trilogy release shows! Belushi: Love it! Just Green Day being fun Green Day! Stay young: sounds a little like U2 meets whatsername. Really good ideas here, a little network like in the vocal styles, I can dig it! F off: hmmm. The guitars and bass rip it up! Might be a grower not a shower. It’s not that annoying, kinda fun. Will have to revisit this at a future date Ballyhoo: I love it! Fun Green Day mode activated! Could have been included on the album. the acoustic songs are just the drums and bass muted, ideally designed for content creators to record their own performances and hopefully get a lot more followers! Wooo! Underdog: I love it! A healthy blend of nimrod and trilogy and would sound great performed live in a music club. I actually appreciate the difference in sound quality in the mix. Would be comfortable on the shenanigans comp. Stay green, my people! Enjoy!

top 3 (not counting the deluxe) 1. Corvette Summer 2. Look Ma! No Brains 3. Fancy Sauce Honorable Mentions: Living In The 20s, Dilemma, 1981, Suzie and Bobby

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.
