i found hairspray billie in the mv really cute and for a whole i thought of drawing him. here's hairspray billie

It‘s hard work! He’s quite stubborn!😂

They did and there were cool Green Day wristbands too

That's really cool, must have just been done last minute I guess! I remember they gave out stickers just like that in the queue

Progress! The transformation has started !!

Here's the pics https://www.instagram.com/p/DQpaLV6jSVO/?igsh=MTV2ZzhhZjNkaXo4cQ== And yes, in my memory it was a secret show. I wonder if it's because Music Week is a trade magazine for the UK record industry? Yeah to me I thought it was a secret show so no advertising. I don't know why but I was really excited when I found it Oh I think I have that somewhere although who knows where! Back when Melody Maker was still a newsprint magazine as opposed to glossy.

My personal least favorite is Too Dumb To Die. I just don't really vibe with it. I also am NOT a fan of the American Idiot Musical.

Oh I would really love to see that, as hermione said don’t recall any adverts as it was a surprise show of a sorts

Getting so close and losing definitely woke me up more than my morning coffee could. It really got the adrenaline going lol

It was soooo rough! I eventually had to move back a bit as I was dying in the heat 😆 but so worth it! Yeah we did get a good few of what were new Trilogy songs that night (I think this was like a month before Uno was released maybe?) and some rare cuts. It was so much fun, definitely one of my top GD experiences Going back to the latest Green Day item I bought - it was probably some concert merch at Riot Fest. I got the album artwork black and white t-shirt with all the different logos, and the tote bag (came in very handy for holding my multiple bottles of water that night 😂). I want to order the Warning anniversary boxset but alas, I have a lot of bills to pay this month as I'm currently buying a house. I hate being an adult!!

Lately when I get to my bus stop in the morning, I think back to missing my bus for the sake of the Green Day scramble and trying to win entry to this event. Stressful but kind of fun!

The project of brainwashing my Swiftie daughter has entered a new phase: she has just told me that last night she dreamed she was at a Green Day show and that Billie brought her up on stage. She just had the problem of not knowing the lyrics but she did her best!😂 Edit: @jengd Another work in progress!😉

Yes, that was my first thought too! Then be happy that you weren’t in Luxembourg when that guy on stage tried to play Wonderwall instead of Good Riddance…😅

Blink 182 have been considering similar to GD if I'm correct ??? If so, I would add them to your list. Although, I used to like Blur back in '90s but wouldn't have put them in same category as GD. I have this strange reaction that every time I even see the name Oasis, I wanna throw up. 🤮

My BF made me watch the whole thing. So now I'm sharing it with all of you.

What are some bands similar to Green Day that you DON'T like? Looking at their similar artists on Spotify, here are the ones I do not enjoy: Oasis, Wheatus, Paramore, Blur, Hoobastank and Radiohead.

You just need to consider them “works in progress” 😂😂

Great decision! What a crazy show, it was soooo hot and the pit was very rough and I've never sweat that much in my life lol. My sister passed out half way through and got pulled out but after 5 minutes resting she wanted to rejoin the crowd so we were over to the side in a quieter area for the rest but still dancing and singing and still joined in the wall of death too. I remember they ended with a fast song with no Good Riddance but that was kind of perfect for such an intense show. I think I heard some trilogy songs for the first time there as well since I'd been avoiding the live recordings before the albums were out. Unforgettable night!

This really is to be appreciated!👏 Here the non-fan husband ("Saviors is a really good album but I don't need the rest...") actively looked for Holiday on Spotify and listened to it! No deep cuts though...

On a similar vein to this... When your partner, who can been quoted saying that "their only good song is Wake Me Up When September Ends" (I know 🙄), is nearly constantly humming some Green Day deep cuts because of how often you play their music at home (last night it was Deadbeat Holiday, I was very proud of him )

I do think Tré came out that night and said (joking) that Billie had laringitis too! What a night that was, I made a rash decision booking the trip before I had gotten a ticket, but thankfully it all worked out!

There was a delay with the show starting before Tre came out and did that and no one knew why or thought anything of it. But it came out in an interview months later it was because Billie's people were concerned for him and had been trying to convince him to cancel the show and go to rehab, but he refused. The "sick" thing was a different show that was cancelled. This was all within a month before the iHeart incident. Had no idea at the time and it was an amazing show! Pit was crazy. Appreciate it even more now, Billie's dedication is admirable Epic wall of death

Very interested! Thank you!😍

wasnt that also the show where they had to start with All By Myself because Billie was "sick" or whatever

@Rumpelstiltskin2000's post above got me thinking. https://ebay.us/m/nSPx5u This is photo on eBay of Melody Maker from 1995, with my fav GD band photo on cover. Holy shit. I've still got the mag somewhere and kinda remember the article. Them where the days. News on GD was either via these mags, underground record shops or MTV. No internet, smart phones, laptops, streaming, downloading, or social media. 😯 If I can't find it I'll buy the one on eBay and post on here if anyone's interested?
