It's a sad sad day after learning that MTV channel, launched in 1981, has confirmed it will stop showing rolling music videos after 4 decades. It blames video-sharing apps such as YouTube and TikTok have killed MTV. Back in early '90, there was no streaming, no downloading, no smart phones. Access to internet was limited and expensive, as where computers. MTV ruled. If a band wanted to me noticed then a music video of a song on MTV on many occasions influenced single and album sales. Back then a big part of each day was to watch MTV. One of the first music videos I saw was Longview, which at it's hight got aired several times a day for months. Thanks for the memories MTV. https://www.pressreader.com/ireland/irish-daily-mail/20251011/281968908889011

FOAM 6-year anniversary boxset/tour?! Hell yeah!

i feel like they might save the next major release for the second Saturday of February next year 😉

Here's a crazy crazy thought. When the thread for Warning 25th appeared on here, some where convinced the release date was January 23, 2026. Where did that date come from? Then of course it was corrected to November next month. Also, Nimrod 25th anniversary was October 22, but box set wasn't released until January 27 2023. Maybe January '26 ? ........... 🤪

Give minority a 4k update

Westbound Sign is Insomniacs highlight I wish they did or released something for the 30th

If you check the International Superhits! DVD rips, there are definitely clear traces of film grain.

2 possibilities: either they lost the reels, or they simply didn't shoot on film. It would make sense for the era. It's quicker and cheaper to just shoot to video, and the boys weren't at the height of their fame at the time

Yep. They even changed the title of the video to designate it as an upscale. Credit where it's due at least, this is a much better upscale than the one for Nice Guys Finish Last. Still, it's a bit puzzling why they didn't rescan the film negatives.

Short/reel they posted on the left, original video on the right. Safe to say this is an AI upscale

It deserves an anniversary box set with all it's b sides

Thank God, I thought my YouTube app was malfunctioning.

Basket Case used in the trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ new film Bugonia with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. Also apparently features prominently in the movie.

They're saying the Warning video got upgraded to 4K? I'm still not seeing it

Thank you! Right now I have the impression that my hands are too small.😅 But I hope that more practice will solve that problem. Besides I‘m doing it just for fun. And it really IS fun!😃 I’ve been thinking of those lyrics too…😂

And what an amazing album and brilliant follow up to Dookie. A mere 20 months later following the '94 awesome tour. And then just as you thought things might slow down a tad, the jaw dropping Carry The Banner album is released at end of '94 by Pinhead Gunpowder. Holy shit. Then as anticipation and excitement grew Geek Stink Breath was released in September '95. And then the album. 14 amazing songs. So difficult to choose favourites but if I had to Stuck With Me and the emotional 86. So lucky to live through it, I knew I'd done the right thing, and given my life to GD. ❤️ Love this video

HAPPY 30th INSOMNIAC

In other news HAPPY 30th to INSOMNIAC

I need to get my brother the glow in the dark t shirt for Christmas

I got my sister a Tre Funko Pop for her birthday cuz he's her favourite and it's also the best design of the GD Funko Pops imo. And I got my brother (their birthdays are 5 days apart) a green Dookie shirt. Also bought myself a Kerplunk patch like this and it's on my backpack

Good luck learning to play the guitar. It's a noble thing to play an instrument, and very rewarding. To play an instrument even if it's just to entertain yourself is an amazing feeling. It'll hurt a tad until your fingertips get used to pressing the strings, but keep at it, it will be worth it I promise you. As Billie Joe said in the song 'Forever Now' "I never learned to read or write so well (freaking out) but I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell " lol.

I'm Justin (aka Lark), 23 from New York, now in Florida. I'm a newer fan (started listening in 2018, first show was Hella Mega in 2021), but these shows have been unforgettable experiences. Each show has its own crazy backstory. There was coercion, deception, broken glass… but I won't go into all of that. Here's the lighthearted version: I made it into the Fremont show in Vegas when they announced the tour. I knew right then and there it'd be something special. The moment tickets went on sale, I scored 2 for the Citi Field show. Months later, the day came and it was awesome! I hate to say it, but all of Dookie in a stadium was way cooler than in a club. By this point though, I had relocated to Florida. Seeing all the videos on socials made me crave more. So I bought a ticket for the Atlanta show and flew up there for a night. Just as amazing. When it was announced they were headlining Rockville… I wanted to say it was a no-brainer, but it took a lot of deliberation. I don't like festivals. I don't like the heat. I didn't even have a car to make the hour-drive to Daytona. But I bit the bullet, rented a car (which was a whole ordeal in it of itself), and rounded out my Saviors Tour experience at Rockville. These shows have been awesome. I feel honored to say I was a part of it.

I'm Seb, I'm 35. I'm from Chile. I have been a fan since 2004. The release of Saviors found me in a really weird spot in my life. Things have been working out decently the last few years but since the beginning of the last year I started to feel that I needed a shake to lift me up. The thing that Green Day released Fancy Sauce, and it induced me such a FOMO that I cried like 50 times in the month of release with that song. They announced the tour, playing Dookie and American Idiot, and I said: "Is ok, they have it done before, is not THAT special" Then the first happened. And it was a kick in the balls. Then I told myself that I needed to see them ASAP. Originally the idea was starting to save money to see them in Europe the next cycle and having some money to see them in Chile and Argentina when they the time comes. It turns out I end up buying a VIP ticket to the second Vienna show in December of 2024. It was jarring. I totally lost my mind. I didn't knew anybody in Europe AT ALL, even if I was talking heavily with someone from Spain who helped me to organize the travel, I didn't know a single person. Then I said to myself: "it would be very sad if I miss the first date" so I went into a two month search for a ticket. I like to see the band as close as I can, but this was a sold out show, so I would buy any ticket at any location if the chance was there. And happily I found one in a late night in February. A seat ticket in the middle of the arena. It could be worse. But it was that or miss the show. No brainer. Time passes. The dates are getting near. They announced south america. Instant buying for the shows in Chile and Argentina. No questions ask, even if I found them expensive, very close to the european prices. You know, YOLO in a nutshell Then the flight to Madrid was really long. My head was rushing all the time. Then Barcelona, that's probably the worst airport in the whole world, to finally get to Vienna. Got into my hostel, that was a terrible choice, but the city was really nice. The first show of Vienna gave me the most shocking surprise of my life. They played 86. Billie Joe announced the song and I fell into my knees, crying like a little kid, realizing that a dream was coming true. I barely got to see them playing the song. I could hardly sing. But that was probably the happiest time of my whole life. The show was flawless, even if they didn't play so much of Saviors sadly. Second show, I arrived early to get in CAS line and it was a very very very sweet afternoon speaking with likeminded people. I remember realizing that I didn't remember that I could speak english that well. I remember sharing with a girl from Romania, called Meike (I'm really sorry if I got your name wrong) and we had a blast talking about videos and registering things. I remember meeting @solongfromthestars and @Cris. too. The show itself is easily the best show I've ever lived. Not only setlist wise, since I got to see Forever Now and Stuart and the Ave with little snippet of Redundant. But also was a very nice crowd. To me, that I come from a country who likes to be messy in shows, and I have been in very hard crowds in Argentina, it was a really really nice change of pace. Loved the show as whole. Easily the best day of my life, even if I have seen the band before (4 times, my first show was in 2010) The whole experience is unmatched. I got to see them later in Chile and Argentina. Chile got the deepest cut of whole tour, Haushinka. It was such a surprise. Somebody was playing the drums before the show. Then I heard a known fill. It was Haushinka. And I said: "no fucking way" And it was Nobody knew the song in the moment. But it was awesome. Argentina was a rough show, I fell off in the middle of the crowd and nobody noticed. I depleted my energy trying to stand up again and I had to leave my close spot. But they played an extended setlist, including Coma City and The Grouch. So it was alright. I left a lot of details out, but I'm really glad this tour happened. I made very very very nice friends, an amazing feat considering the fact that I'm not that fond of people and I never expected to do it in this stage of my life. I pushed my boundaries of what I believed it was possible to make. And I'm so grateful that Green Day once more was part of another personal development. I can't stress it enough. So I started saving already. I cannot wait to repeat. We all die young someday.

No it’s weird that they haven’t released this like they did the last one in 2017. It makes me wonder if we’re ever gonna see it 😕
