If they do, hopefully it would be mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. Bullet in a Bible sounded so much better than all other live albums I know.

I wrote a little essay comparing the Beatles life and career to Green Day’s and the similarities are pretty surprising if you’re interested: https://archiveofourown.org/works/67989676

thank god Hold On nor Worry Rock werent hits, since theres a decent chance (SOME) beatles fans would be up in arms about those songs basically being I Should Have Known Better and Nowhere Man respectively (authors note: green day is why im into the beatles...sorta)

.

i think they could have done a less demanding follow up if they did a mix of Stop Drop & Roll, most of act 3 of 21CB (up to 21 Guns or American Eulogy) and like, maybe 2 or so other hold outs from C&V+Stay The Night and maybe even 99 Revs

2004 and 2009 brought two mega-hit albums full of deep, introspective lyrics, strong stories, and more social commentary than you could fit into a two-hour fireside chat with Rachel Maddow. Then along comes this triple album that's two-thirds filler and all about sex, partying and drugs with little bits and pieces of commentary thrown in. Oh, and it drove Billie Joe to the brink. Time's eased up on that a bit. The whole "AI, 21CB, this shit," isn't as noticeable now that we have a couple of really good albums and one incredibly shitty one since then. When listened to as the follow-up to AI and 21CB, it's just bad. When listened to in its own right, I mean, it's still pretty shit more often than not, but songs like "Stay the Night", "Let Yourself Go", "99 Revolutions" and a few other not-shit examples of music benefit from not having you thinking, "We went from American Eulogy to this?". I think Billie Joe said once that he regrets not having just made Stop, Drop and Roll the Green Day followup to AI instead of relegating that one to a side project and throwing another massive mega-album at the wall as the followup instead. I wonder if that was in his mind when he and the band decided to do three "nothing to do with anything" albums after 21CB instead of jumping straight back into the sociopolitical undertones of Rev Rad. One fucking minute?

i have a funny feeling inside that, much like the South American leg of the 21CB tour, theres gonna be some super major bustouts

Holy mother of floof - what a great phrase/prayer, I will be using this from now on! 😂😂

Minus the 4th guitarist thing, this is my plan. I’ll hang out with a friend Saturday and do Riot Fest-y things but Sunday I shall get as close to the stage as possible like I did with the Harley Davidson Fest. I love Chase Petra who is also playing Sunday but I plan to be at the Green Day stage lol. I’ve been way too spoiled with barrier at shows.

Holy mother of floof ❤️ what a beautiful human being

I’d take it! I agree with @solongfromthestars re the Trilogy and think with time people will come to FOA which I have defended many times too.

I think it's just that a lot of people hated it because of the circumstances when they wouldn't have hated it otherwise, but now the circumstances are a distant memory so those people are able to enjoy it. It was also uncool to like it when it came out, but most fans will have grown out of that by now or if they're new, they don't know that was even a thing. I've been a trilogy defender from the start and I'm glad people are realising how great it is! Billie's best love songs are on those albums and Love is for Losers. I'd take it for Meet Me on the Roof and Nightlife. I can always go for a toilet break during Teenage Teenager and What Else Are Junkies On?

Father of All in full every single night with a 20 minute version of Nightlife as the encore.

Father Of All is probably why tbh

I would do disgusting, horrible things to hear 8th Avenue Serenade played live. On that topic, I wonder why the trilogy has become a fan favorite. Rose colored glasses? Not that I’m complaining, that’s the first project I was a fan for from beginning to end so it has a very special place in my heart. It just seems to have the widest variance between general reception and fan opinion.

My bf called me out the other day. He made fun of my fan girlisms by going "ooo Billie is so hawt. Oh Billie Joe is soooo cute." Glad he thinks so too 😆

That was a massive show! Without several eyewitnesses AND complete recordings I wouldn't have believed people, just looking at the setlist.

I'd take American Eulogy over anything else. It's one of their two best live songs along with Forever Now. Wouldn't be hard to change the problematic lyric. I would also love more trilogy (8th Avenue Serenade!!!!!!) but I'm sure I've said that before

What was the full set list? And why not just release the whole thing already?

I think "Just a bunch of snowflakes" works perfectly well.

So this time when my boyfriend and I were in the car listening to Sirius we heard a bump from Mike! He was introducing She. Now I just need to hear a Tre bump on our next trip lol

i mean, dont we have the full audio from this show (including covers)? really feel like it was pointless though to throw on ABM from this show as a bonus to the AI20 doc instead of like Take Back

Awesome find! However, I do not like his comment regarding the Warfield recordings (the part where he says we will never see the rest of it) 😂😒
