They make arguably their best album since 2009 and decide to release THIS song as a single? What an odd choice 😅.

I have Mega Evolved into Mega Fangirl over Billie taking my flag. That thing has been with me since the Paris show in 2010. It's been to all kinds of places but its most exciting adventure was definitely Costa Rica where it made it onto TV. Framing it has flag shagger vibes, but I think I'm going to have to retire it and frame it with photos some of Billie holding it.

I feel like this gif belongs here

Well, this needs to be here. Damn.

Making a thread to link to the GDA article. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6167/ "You're going to have the most turbo-charged, chrome-plated, plush-lined, high-gloss, super-speed customized time of your life. The Corvette Summer music video comes out next Tuesday, July 23rd at 10am PT. Starring Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, Mike Dirnt, Mark Hamill, Hannibal Buress, and a whole lot more."

Just posted on his Instagram. It’s not letting me post it for some reason https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9xdhWrPgtx/?igsh=MWJ1Mzg1ZTdicDZyaA==

Just saw Billie's Suzie Chapstick performance on instagram and I'm swooning over here

Did another monthly update. Songs that they played live on tour are holding up in numbers or have gone up. Spotify position is the song's position within Green Day's catalog.

Saviors is still such a great album. Often when I can't decide which album I want to listen to, I simply start Saviors because it's just fun to hear from start to end 😌

Second batch of pics from Getty Images Getting confused there's so many so I'll probably leave it there for now

That was so terrible and I loved every second of it

OMFG. I might actually not have to go to Dubai. Asian tour is imminent!!

I realize I'm in the minority but I love Corvette Summer and am SO stoked Mark Hamill is going to be in this.

It’s nice to have a new music video! Just wished it wasn’t Corvette Summer, one of the weakest song from the album. Still better than nothing 😀

Any time they got asked if they would continue doing low ticket prices at the time they always said they would do what made sense for each tour and that they weren't making a statement etc though. They never claimed it as a "belief" and wouldn't allow interviewers to put them in the category of bands taking a stand against high ticket prices. Also I don't think you'll find another band at their level that has much lower tickets prices than them now, they could charge a lot more. And the way bands make money has changed, they make nothing from record sales now and touring is how they make it. I do wish tickets could still just all be the same price throughout venues but now and 1994 are two different situations as far as how the economy of bands works so you can't really compare the two. Green Day still have decently low ticket prices for a band of their stature.

Solid show. My favourite of this tour is still Glasgow, but then I think stadium shows are generally speaking not my thing, also just sonically. That said, I believe Billie really likes London and it showed all throughout the night. He was grinning like a kid at Christmas . I suppose it’s refreshing as a part-Brit to hear a positive outsider’s perspective on the UK and London, and to be fair not all is rotten in this country Anyhow, it seems he’d been looking forward to this show and kept some energy reserves for this night, I mean he and the band really gave it their all. And I could also really sense his gratitude for the fact that after more than 30 years of touring and 14 albums later, and even 20 years after their last major commercial break, they still managed to fill Wembley in full (sold out). You could hear the gratitude in his voice and also genuine concern for people in the moshpit too. Great night.

My stuff at home isn't in any organized fashion, but I have pics I've taken at all of my shows on magnets on my filing cabinet at work.

When I got GD prayer candles I had no choice but to make an actual shrine. Newest thing I added was awesome GDA sticker @solongfromthestarsgave me at the Wembley show last month along with the cool One Eyed Bastard confetti . Favourite things on it besides the candles are the Rev's beer can, Billie birthday card my nephew made me, mini Blue from my brother, pink Claire's makeup bag from AI era and Mike's pick that the lovely J'net very sweetly gifted to me at my first GD show when he gave her it In the box on the right I have lots of gig mementos like confetti, wristbands and tickets as well as other random stuff

Looks like I'm also heading to Central Park!

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't listen to all of Saviours until after I'd seen them live again the other week, but oh my god, it is such a good album. An instant classic, I think, up there with Dookie and American Idiot in terms of their best albums. Really really awesome.

Just got the confirmation email from GMA. funnily enough, I had booked that bus ticket to get me there 30min before, lol Finally seeing the guys in Central Park , woo!

The most adorkable thing at the Wembley show was when Billie told a crowd of 80,000 people "knock knock" while having no punchline to say TWICE . He was very sweetly stopping the show to make sure security helped a fan at the time so he got away with it.

I can’t believe the European leg of the tour is already over. It was great seeing them live again, even if it was only one show. It was a great tour and it seemed like there were only positive vibes. I really hope there’ll be another leg or a new European tour soon. I don’t want to wait for multiple years. It was also good to see that they’re apparently still able to sell out these massive venues. Numbers don’t matter but it’s still nice to know that so many people genuinely care for the band and their music.

22 cameras and I heard they interviewed fans too. Cameraman talks about seeing the final result of something - sounds like we’re getting a new concert film ❤️

I can’t believe the European leg is over just like that! Watching clips from these shows has been incredible and has me even more excited about my upcoming US date. I think this is one of the best setlists they’ve had in a long time and they just seem like they’re having so much fun on tour. Great energy all around.

I loved seeing him at the end of Good Riddance just quietly taking it all in before leaving

I can't believe it's over already! This tour seemed so short. I've missed Green Day 🥹

Hopefully they return for an arena tour next year

Indeed.

Plus a little snippet of Free Falling earlier in the night! Great night, I was about 5/6 people back from the end of the catwalk. The crowd around me were good fun! I'd have to echo the above. Billie sounds unbelievably good at the moment 😍 the Dookie part does feel a little rushed, but once they get through that and into the mixed part before AI, it feels more relaxed. I've gotta say the new songs sound amazing live, Look Ma, OEB and Bobby Sox as a closer work so well live! I do wish there was a bit of variety to the set lists but oh well. The only song that's missing from the traditional GD set list for me is Hitchin a Ride. I didn't think I'd like this two full albums approach, but I think I could listen to AI in full at every show ❤️ On to Wembley 😎

Billie is looking completely gorgeous, we are getting flashes of hip and bellie and in Glasgow he had a couple of shirt buttons come undone. I’m not looking for any photos of that though, no sir, not hoping there are good, clear photos out there 😙

On my way to Dublin for the concert tonight, the excitement is real. Too bad the airport pissoir has to wait a few years to get its favorite record played back to back live.

Loving the tour so far - such a shame that I don't get to see them this year (fingers crossed for a 2nd leg) + Homecoming sounds and seems to be the highlight of the show (please do not remove this song from future setlists, ever) + Lot's of sing along with the crowds, but less interaction between songs + Dilemma and Minority beeing played a step down from eb tuning, my guess is that they do this to spare BJ's voice (you can clearly tell that the high notes is a problem for him sometimes (OEB, Homecoming, Look Ma etc) + Bobby Sox is fucking amazing as a closing song - I think that BJ nails the high notes on this one, better than in the beginning after the release of the album - Please drop KYE

I think I might agree. The only downside is Billie has less interaction with the crowd, he has a lot to get through. I thought it might feel like they were just ticking boxes but though they blast through each song I got no sense of them just going through the motions, they are clearly getting a kick out of playing both records and new stuff.

I'm calling it now. This my favourite album / tour cycle since 21CB.

Billie taking selfies and the end result

In May 2023, one of my favorite artists Jesse Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He's slowly recovering and will be going back on stage for two triumphant comeback shows at Beacon Theater, NY in December with bunch of guests. He's releasing a special tribute and benefit album on September 20th called Silver Patron Saints, where a bunch of artists and friends covered his songs, including Billie. He did ''Black Haired Girl'' from Glitter In The Gutter (2007.) and it's out now. All proceeds are going to Jesse Malin’s Sweet Relief artist fund.

I used to have a kind of GD shrine by my bed but it's never been set up again since we had to move back in 2011. Found this though - a picture of my desk at work from August 2010!

So "When I Come Around" enters in the green day song podium on their spotify. it's in the second place now, and if we'd look on the numbers, its gaining insane daily numbers now, more than any other single (currently 819,000 daily -+). What is happening? Is it some Tiktok hype thing?

His hair has been so fluffy this entire Saviors era. I love it so much. I always preferred the black hair but I really feel like the blonde hair is working with this level of fluff.

Thank you for this thread! First of all - I think the front row should be for the most dedicated fans, not for the richest. Period. And speaking of the actual Saviors tour in my opinion both VIP packages were just a scam. Every venue had a different number of VIP tickets, so it was like a lottery - in Berlin were too many VIPs and a lot of them didn’t get the barrier, but in Arnhem or Glasgow it was totally possible to be in the front row with regular GC ticket. So VIPs were still queuing for shows because they didn’t know what to expect. People with regular tickets also were queuing or even camping and ended up in second or third row. Actually at every show some VIPs from the front row (usually from the most expensive package) didn’t know a lot of songs and were singing only Basket Case and Boulevard Of Broken Dreams. So they were just rich people (not all of them of course). Also VIP merch was a joke - only tote bag is fine and useful. LP cover when a lot of people don’t have an LP player? Fingerboard? And my favorite - fucking fake guitar picks. We paid almost €300 and we didn’t even get real Green Day guitar picks. VIP host? Has anyone seen the VIP host? In Berlin people had a problem with tickets from the official resale site. In London people had problem with tickets scanning. Where was this VIP host? As I said before, if they want to sell VIP tickets - fine, go for it. But make it real VIP - very limited, so VIPs won’t need to queue and people with regular tickets still will have a chance to get the barrier.

Now that Europe had their fun, let's bring this thread back to life! 😁

I was singing along to OEB! I don't know if I might have mentioned it in one or two posts, but I LOVE this song!🤣😉 I did kind of notice that the crowd seemed a bit quieter during the new songs, which is a shame. One of the things that made my day was being gifted a GD bracelet by a very kind stranger! Did anybody else meet the lovely lady who was giving away beaded bracelets? She asked if I'd like one, so I asked her if she had any OEB ones and she said she had bada BING bada BING bada boom, so I knew I needed that one! How fabulous is this?!🥰

Totally agree with you, I really like how Coley has fitted in, Jason has been too much for me for some time now. I don’t particularly like his sax solos but the organ sound does not fit to me and he overdoes it. I think you could feel the band’s love and gratitude this whole tour so far. That footage of Billie sitting in the stage at the end is just beautiful. 💚🥹💚

It was a totally awesome show! Amazing energy start to finish and Billie was really on form. Seeing Dookie played in full was amazing, but getting American Idiot in full was definitely the highlight for me. It was great to hear some of those songs live for the first time (for me). I was lucky and got barrier a few people back from the catwalk, and had an awesome view. Arrived at about 12 noon to join the queue. My highlights were St Jimmy (Billie's energy during that is incredible), and Homecoming when the whole crowd were singing "we're coming home again", it was a real magical, spine-tingling moment that I will always remember. Also Mike and Tre running on at the end during good riddance to goof around with Billie was so cute. It's so great to see how much they are just loving being on stage and being together. You really feel the love and deep friendship between them. Billie said "we're gonna keep doing this forever", I really fucking hope they keep putting out music and touring, these guys are still just right at the top. It was my first Green Day show for 11 years, so pretty special for me. I felt super emotional during the show and also an overwhelming gratitude that these guys are still there for us. IMO GD shows are as much a chance for me to show them my love and gratitude for their work as for them to put on a show for us. Just love these guys so much, they are so unique and special ❤️
