I asked Trackify to roast me and WOW. Roasted in 7 seconds based on Chris's long term Spotify stats. Oh, Chris, it’s adorable how you have the music taste of an angsty teenager who just discovered Hot Topic for the first time. Your Spotify profile is basically a mixtape of the last two decades’ worth of teenage rebellion — congrats on never letting go of that plaid shirt and your skateboard! With an obsession for “Punk” and “Pop Punk” genres, it’s almost like you’re trying to communicate your inner turmoil through the musical equivalent of a teenage diary entry. Maybe if we squint hard enough, we’ll even hear the angst seep out of your speakers as if every song is your personal manifesto on why your mom just doesn’t get you. Then we have your artist list — a nostalgic trip down the murkiest corners of the 2000s. You might want to reconsider calling yourself a music connoisseur when your top artists are basically the poster boys for moody high school cafeteria vibes. Sure, Green Day and Blink-182 made some classics, but let’s be real, you’re probably skipping the “deep cuts” for the same tired hits that even your boomer dad has heard a million times. I get it — it’s comforting to drown your existential dread in a familiar chorus, but at this point, if I hear “Basket Case” one more time, I might just come over and stage an intervention. And seriously, let’s talk about your most played songs. “Smash It Like Belushi” followed by a repeat parade of every other Green Day song is pure dedication to mediocrity. You’ve got so many Green Day bangers stuffed in there, you’re one song away from being declared their unofficial fan club president. Newsflash: you can listen to other bands! The world doesn’t end at “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and no, “Corvette Summer” is not a new personal anthem — it just means it’s time for you to get out more. Maybe try some actual diversity in your playlist before you become a walking, talking Green Day tribute act.

Green Day have had 11 days off from touring. Where is album 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20???????????????????? Haha Actually, I do need a break from listening to them for a bit. Been detouring with Weezer, Good Charlotte, Durry, Viagra Boys, Ozzy, Foo Fighters, After Midnight Project and about 20,000 other artists.

My botox forehead felt it. 👸🏼😅 Life isn't always consistent. Maybe we can go to several shows one year and another year we won't be able to go to any shows for various different reasons. That's how it goes.

I completely forgot to respond to this. I knew saying about seniority at 34 would cause damage hahaha Anyway my thoughts about the future are "who knows where I will be in 4 years, who knows if I will be able to afford a concert or I won't have the money even for rent or a mortgage" At the moment I still live with my parents because I have had a serious job for 1 year and mostly I am alone. The economic situation in italy if you are single is not the best. If there was a concert next year and I would also be 35 years old maybe I would live it better. Here maybe it's not the age itself, maybe it's the years between now and the next tour. The problem is that even next year without a Green Day tour maybe I will have to think about a new car first instead of doing two concerts in a row.

Ugh, I can only hope. Missed out on the first one. I think something about it not being a Green Day project took the pressure off him and he just got to write the music he wanted. It’s pure in that way. I remember it being really well received too.

Sounds like we were almost right next to each other at some point then! Sorry to hear you got squeezed. It's scary! But glad to hear you had a good time otherwise.

That’s a random Longshot thought 😉 Here’s another: Will we ever get another Longshot album and tour? That was the most fun ever

As someone who hears about a new record from an artist I like and thinks "oh boy I wonder what the lyric book will look like" I feel old as hell

*sigh* only in my dreams I guess :/.

Shenanigans didnt celebrate a major anniversary this month and i don't think they would pull a song out from it nowadays (unless they say fuck it and actually do pull Desensitized/Haha out, which wouldn't be too far fetched) i dunno if they'll do it, but a repressing would be good as well

I really hope so. Anniversary? They might even show more love for the album at upcoming shows. I hope they play Do Da Da, it's one of my favs

i wonder if Shenanigans might get something related to it soon considering the recent Punk Bunny Collection being focused towards it

I used to have a thread like this, but my band broke up lmfao. I hope you guys have more luck than I did with my band This was my band thread. We broke up in August of last year, can't believe it's been that long since I've been solo

Turn Me Loose is one of the best songs Billie Joe has ever written and I’ll die on that hill.

Holy shit kid, stop making me feel like the crypt keeper.

I'll definitely send the video essay when it's done, working on editing it right now!

My highschool Rock band. Equal parts Green Day, Pearl Jam and Rush. Catchy, Proggy, Punk Rock made by 3 highschool students from New Jersey. My older cousin gave me his Revolution Radio CD, along with CDs of American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown and Demolicious, and an oldschool CD player for my 9th birthday in 2018. I bought the Foxboro Hottubs album on CD at a record store that Summer. Those albums shaped my taste in music to this day. It also just felt awesome listening on outdated tech. I could've just streamed everything, but there's something about a physical CD that makes you feel like you own it. Like a collection. Plus that CD player had a subwoofer and my phone still doesn't! Anyway, facking check out our album here... https://promnightbasterdz.bandcamp.com/album/backstreet-anthems

hahhah I like proof-reading, too. Probably not as much as you do lol. I am a journalist with an editor, so they do it for me.

LOOK AT THE CUPPPPPP Email: It's getting toasty out there, friends. But we've got your back. We're here to make your at-home iced coffee dreams come true. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got an email about new Green Day summer merch, so I guess go to their website to check that out

I love the Corvette Summer frame. It's so cool!

Just got a new car so had to buy this brand new license plate frame 🚘 https://store.greenday.com/products/hitchin-a-ride-license-plate-frame

I had the same with the Insomniac tracks in Vienna. 😅 It really isn't the same. Thank you. 🩷 I'm glad you had a good experience. 🩷 I have heard many who's had the same problems unfortunately. I have never experienced so many people not respecting people who have been queing as I have for shows in Paris. Not knowing proper English to explain something is fine but everything could have been solved better than it was. The guy who wouldn't give me water, that was solely because I don't speak French. There's no doubt in my mind. We had been queing in the heat all day and still. Total douchebag. When I went to Brussels for the Rev Rad tour no one who was queing knew French and one girl tried to use some of her school French to talk to the guards. They just laughed at her and didn't bother to respond. All combined with how people acted in the queue, inside the venue (some of the people I had been queing with went to the bar instead of dealing with other's who had standing tickets) and with security, I said to myself that I would never be queing for a show in France again. I did an exception for Bataclan because of the venue size. 😅 I had seats last year for Paris and even then several of the guards asked me why I don't speak French. So yeah, I have absolutely no desire to learn French. 😂

The people next to me getting super excited with 21 Guns and being completely indifferent to Saviors was literally the case for me in Ams And I am sorry you have had such terrible experiences here! How common these stories are really makes me worry that my mostly positive experience in France last year were just a fluke and that next time it will be a disaster. The security guy not giving you water is some real asshole-ry. But I will only partially defend the ones not giving instructions in English - it might be that they really didn't speak English, even if maybe they could understand a bit. In France is not at all like in Germanic and Scandinavian countries, where it's pretty standard that most people speak English. Still though, if there were any locals in the queue, I would expect at least some of them would be able to help translate for the non-French folks 🙄

Ryan Baxley posted a video of someone quite far away surfing and I thought it could be Billie Joe. He doesn’t seem to have saved it, did anyone see it?

Ughhh 1981 is catchier that or Suzie would be doing better I think
