If they agree to no political songs and no political messages I will be highly disappointed.

the super bowl halftime act never gets any money payed as far as i remember so GD could maybe also get no money at all and since this is the NFL and broadcasted live around the world i could imagine there could be some sort of contract on what songs they are allowed to play and/or that they wont make any political statement during their show i also guess they will pre-record the instruments audio prior to the show, so it will just be billie with his voice who is actually live?

I don't think its a well known fact, then. If you were to check your copy through a spectrogram, I guarantee that it is lossy. I have been searching for a real lossless version for years lol never really thought of asking here though about further info

I don't have enough data really. I definitely don't think Green Day are doing it just for the money but because they want to, and probably because they think it's a nice big platform to send a nice big public message to ICE. Now, is the super bowl doing this just to appease the people who are pissed that Bad Bunny in all his Puerto Rican and Spanish speaking glory is the half time act? I don't know. Have they always had an opening ceremony, or is this something they invented this year? (it's the first time I hear about it, but it might be because I just don't normally care for this event). If it was invented this year, then yes, having an English-speaking band might be a choice to balance a bit the Bad Bunny thing. But still, Bad Bunny remains the main act, so I don't see how this takes away from him? And if they chose Green Day to appease the MAGA crowd well... they have a surprise coming their way, and the people who made that choice without spending 5 minutes googling the band would surely be fired the day after. All this to say, I think they probably chose Green Day to send the message of "fine, we'll give you an act from an American band, singing all in English, with the 3 whitest dudes, but they also hate you, so you should really take a look at yourself" rather than to appease the MAGA folks As for the comment about ICE raiding the crowd during the show, I have no idea if there's any information to back that up. I seem to remember reading at some point that Bad Bunny didn't want to do many US dates in his current tour because he was afraid that ICE agents would target his shows given the predominately hispanic crowds he draws (this is something I might have seen in passing on Instagram so no idea if it's true or not), so I guess maybe the comment from that? Really? I'm pretty much counting on them definitely doing American Idiot and Holiday, would be surprised if they didn't.

Billie could dedicate One Eyed Bastard to a certain someone.

What makes you say it's lossy on every platform and medium? Never heard of this statement before.

This looks so cool!😍

Wasn't sure where to post this. A while back someone on here asked me what the programme for the 2009 show at the Fox Theatre looked like (don't remember who it was). Finally found it and my daughter has kindly sorted out the scan so here you go https:/www.instagram.com/p/DTx6TWtArXD/?igsh=aDBlcWZwenNsbDZm

If Billie doesn’t tell Trump to fuck off in the middle of American Idiot or Holiday, I’m going to be very disappointed 😂

None of the promo CDs or compilations contain an actual lossless version

Yes, this is a privately sponsored event. At this point I think they’ve done every Superbowl adjacent gig they can possibly do short of screaming “Just pick us for the halftime show already!!”

I mean if you were going to choose an act to counter Bad Bunny and appease the racists would you pick Green Day??? Who are these woke racists?

Sí, no nos importa que hables de Green Day, pero aquí todo el mundo habla inglés, si te es posible.

Hola y bienvenido! Hablamos de Green Day todo el tiempo pero la lengua es ingles…

Hola Solo quiero hablar de Green Day sin que me tilden de intensa porque soy una fan muy intensa espero que aquí eso sea cool

It was released lossless. On the cd.

I'm sure this has been mentioned at some point in time on this forum, but does anyone know why Working Class Hero has never had a lossless version available on streaming or physical media? Was the incorrect master file sent to the campaign? As far as officially released Green Day songs goes, I think this might be the only song from their discography that is exclusively lossy. I'm really curious if anyone knows an actual reason behind this or have the real lossless version. In other words, if you have an *actual* lossless version of Working Class Hero, pls share

It would be interesting to know if the orange man will be at the stadium. They could definitely play Ivanka is a Nazi haha. No, seriously, I'm pretty sure all the greatest hits are possible, except American Idiot. I can't imagine that.

I say they come out dressed as The Network and play Ivankkka Is a Nazi.

Okay, I can’t relate to those arguments. No logic there I think. I‘m happy for GD to have gotten this honor and hope that the event will turn out well. And of course I hope that they‘ll speak out as usual.

Just imagine a riot starting during GD's performance (just like the riot during their Boston 1994 performance). Now that would be legendary and unforgettable... and it will be broadcasted LIVE 🙂

Apparently because they feel they've been put there only to appease the racist people who are pissed that Bad Bunny is the half team act, and it will take away from his act somehow? and because ICE agents will be in the crowd arresting people (?? no idea if this is a known fact or speculation or a rumor?), and they are in this only for the money, obviously. Opinions from the comments I read, not mine. As I said in another thread, I'm willing to bet they will say something against ICE in their act.

😂 And why? Is it a sellout? Not punk rock? …….

I just found out there are some Green Day fans who are super pissed that Green Day is playing this 😅

One of the funniest things about making gifsets on tumblr is how people tag them lol. On my latest gifset of Billie he's been called both an angry dog and an angry rabbit. Not by the same person btw.
