I drew a pretty picture.

Billie is four iHeart Awards tall. 😭

New one. Berkeley Square 1991

I cross stitched Drunk Bunny onto my hoodie. Right as I was finishing the last stitch, I realized I was finishing it on Billie's birthday.

He part owns the Oakland Soul soccer team too. Awesome how he supports his hometown

Did someone call for my boys?

Possibly just based on his romantic description of dancing with him on tour in In China With Green Day and this picture

I think having a full year of full Dookie and AI desensitized us to how un-fucking-believable that is as a set list. Songs like Coming Clean, All By Myself, She's a Rebel, Homecoming, Whastername... those are all some really deep cuts. It's understandable that they focus on hits for the rest of the setlist. This setlist is also 12 songs longer than the shows in Asia. So, you know, it's a pretty amazing setlist. I get wanting to get Scattered, Forever Now, etc., I do, but to say that the setlist is underwhelming is quite a stretch. Personally, I will never tire of AI in full. The setlist could be only those 13 songs and I'd be happy as a clam. And I am quite happy (and a bit jealous that I'm not there) for the Aussie fans who've got to experience these absolutely amazing shows we got to experience last year in Europe and US. Basically, this!

Loved the energy, Dookie in full was everything I hoped for. Such a huge and fantastic production and performance. Absolutely fantastic show.

Yep, can't wait for tomorrow. It will be my son's first Green Day show! My first Green Day concert was in 1996, I am so excited I get to take him to his first one tomorrow! I can't believe it has been 29 years since my first Green Day concert.

A good reason to obey when Billie tells us to put phones away: I recorded Good Riddance so I was trying to put my phone back in my bag afterwards, assuming the band had cleared off, and almost completely missed him doing this... and he was fucking staring at me too He got up right after I looked up. I can't believe I pretty much missed it!

Really hoping they keep the extra Saviours tracks in for the European dates this summer!

When you make your brother drive to your mom's apartment in the suburbs of Caracas (Venezuela) to recover your Green Day CDs collection. Then you make him drive to another city 4 hours away to bring those to your dad. And then you make your dad fly with all those CDs (17 in total, plus Stadium Arcadium from the RHCP) in his suitcase from Venezuela to Orlando, US. And then you fly with them to France after visiting your family in Orlando for Christmas And now you need to buy RevRad and FOAM to complete your collection. And yes, you have American Idiot twice because my first copy ever got scratched from overuse 😅

Great news guys. They've changed their mind. GreenDay.fm is NOT CLOSING https://greenday.fm/

This video is from my first Green Day show ever 😭

No, I didn't make it. Biggest Fomo of my life. But Japan was so so so amazing. Seeing them two nights in a row was like a dream come true. I met so many people who were so nice and amazing and it never seemed like we were meeting for the first time. Ugh, just take me back again.

I think music fandoms have a tendency to worry every tour is the last one, even for younger artists. And I understand things happen and you never know what the future holds — that’s why I take in and appreciate every time I’m able to see them as though it’s the last time. But pending an unexpected bad event, I never think about the artists I like retiring or quitting music. The types of musicians I follow love what they do and I assume they’ll keep doing their job until they physically can’t anymore! All he meant was this was a special anniversary tour that they likely won’t repeat, which is what made it so special, but also what makes it sad that it’s over, I’m sure as much for them as for us.

Just don't even tempt fate. Tbf I genuinely believe, like Beej has Bern saying for years, that Green Day will only end when "one of them gets carried off in a box" - so we're good for a while. Just stay healthy, whole, and loved boys. The world needs you. ❤️

Billie, don’t be sad! We will gladly keep having you perform AI in full as often as you want!

Awwww Billie tearing up singing Whatsername last night "and just like that it's been 20 years" - I wanted to give him the biggest hug.

Last Night On Earth reaching its peak with 346,228 streams, more than Holiday, Brain Stew, When I Come Around, 21 Guns, Welcome to Paradise and Know Your Enemy. Edit: Again, reached its peak with 350,509 daily streams. Amazing!

And this one

Here's the rest of Billie's first Nagoya post (and a summary of other Osaka posts from the other guys) More pics here https://www.instagram.com/share/p/BAHmP8vB8I More pics here https://www.instagram.com/share/p/BAVpRBb8S5 "Back in Japan 🇯🇵" More pics here https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/_qWmJuV2M More pics here https://www.instagram.com/share/p/_mV7H_bFz From Tre's wife There'll be more pics later when I can get them sorted out (so many pics). Not gonna lie I'm still completely broken that I'm not there as I'm supposed to be because of my health and missing @solongfromthestarsso much 😭

But well… Doesn’t he see then that there’s a much (!) better solution to this problem? He has those skinny jeans in his suitcase, we know that!!😉

Maybe he realized halfway through this leg of the tour that his pants are too big and the only immediate fix he has is multiple belts.

I walked into my hostel in Nagoya and heard Green Day's name on the radio, then Working Class Hero played

This is my reaction to pretty much everything Billie does.

I really love how he’s been wearing his hair a bit longer lately. It has a kinda retro look to it and suits him so well. Also, I thank the blonde gods every day that we’ve been blessed with this hair color for so long.

That... was a really special show. Not because of the setlist or whatever (although we did get One of My Lies, RevRad and a snippet of At the Library) but it was just one of those magical times. It was absolutely pissing it down - I'm returning to my hostel twice as heavy because my hair and clothes are so sodden - and that somehow made it even more surreal and magical. I got there at about 12:30 and I was pretty far out, in front of the screen, but I'm so glad I was there because I was surrounded by lovely Malaysian fans who were seeing Green Day for the first time and all that blathering Billie does about unity - I FELT it. I think we all did. Everyone around me was screaming the lyrics, jumping and waving, and whenever I looked behind me the rest of the crowd was going absolutely crazy. I felt like I was seeing Green Day for the first time again because of the vibes all around me. The bloke next to me was worried he wouldn't enjoy the show because he prefers Green Day's slow songs, but we had the same look of awe on our faces when we turned to each other after the show. I asked how it was and he replied 'it was AMAZING!' Agreed. Someone I met in Jakarta (not a Green Day fan, although I almost convinced her to come to the show 😂) asked if I actually remember all these shows and the answer is my expression as this show came to a close. I looked up as the rain was pouring and lightning was flashing as Billie sang Good Riddance, and there was just pure joy and wonder on my face. There isn't any deep story behind me deciding to come to KL. The flight from Jakarta was £30 and the city looked nice on photos so I went for it. I'd had so much bad luck and anxiety since I arrived that I regretted that decision - I was convinced the show was doomed - but wow. It was not.

Why do I feel like Billie lost a bet to Mike and Tre and had to read that speech as a result. They were cackling the whole time.

Here's the full show I'm still not over it. The vibe all around me was amazing and I can still recall that feeling that the whole arena was shaking. Billie and Mike were SO close when they came out onto the catwalk. You know when you were however old you were when Bullet in a Bible came out, and you watched Billie kneeling on the catwalk and sighed wistfully, thinking you'd never be that close? That kid was there with me in Yokohama, screaming enough to make me more deaf than I already am. I was so stressed before I left, I'd had so much bad luck on the trip, and then I was beyond devastated that my mum couldn't make it. The universe was definitely looking out for me when I got shoved into that spot and Green Day put on such a good show. Anyway, I'm writing a GDA recap of the shows I went to in Asia. It'll probably be posted soon.

My co-worker was giving us a musical trivia quiz and the question was "blank Luft Balloons plus blank Light Years Away". My brain got fuzzy for second, because I was like, for sure they can't be including a deep cut Green Day song?

Keeps going up. Up to 366,000 yesterday.

When your boss is trying to think of the name of the movie They Live and you know it solely because of the Back in the USA video. Which you promptly send to him. And when your co-worker offers to get you a Green Day slurpee because she's confused on what the 7/11 collab is.

Do you have a link? 🥺 Ugh, I so hope they release a DVD (or whatever kids use these days) with professional recording of one of the full Dookie and AI concerts. Those shows need to be immortalized.

I really like the setlists I'm seeing from Japan. They are finally able to pull from every era except the two 'depressing' ones, haha. And I feel like Billie may one day change how he feels about those songs. They were created during a bad time, sure. But they are amazing. I know they will never do a ton of deep cuts on regular tours, but Oh Love and Father of All every now and then wouldn't hurt anybody. And if you're a hater of those songs, I know you hold your pee during a concert so there you go. Pee during Father of All, haha.

These full album shows are so especial I hope you all enjoy it. I wish I was there, I know I'll never tire of getting AI in its entirety live.

Looks like Setlist.fm had a blurb about them throwing in deep cuts. Loving what they’ve been doing on this leg of the tour. Just one or two random deep cuts per show, that’s all I’ve been asking for. Just a few days ‘till they go Down Under! https://www.setlist.fm/news/02-25/green-day-dusts-off-deep-cuts-during-japanese-gigs-13d6a151

Fuck yesss I got a ticket! This could not have happened at a better time

Yes, and that fan did a great job! It was fun just watching him… I really like that they play more Saviors songs now. Coma City deserved to be played: the line „bankrupt the planet for assholes in space“ alone is so good! And I love this chaotic instrumental ending…

That was another really good show 🥰 Can't believe they played Coma City. Maybe I can be converted into a Saviors fan after all 😂 It seemed that all the foreign tickets had numbers over 2900. Mine was 2901. I was about third row between Jason and the screen, but I had a great view! My feet weren't on the floor for the first few songs but then I actually had space around me. Great crowd though - everyone was so into it. I was with some European friends but we shared lots of smiles with the Japanese fans around us. Glad I was where I was because the vibe there was amazing. The fan playing Good Riddance was so cute 🥹 The highlight... probably Letterbomb (I LOVE that song) or Jesus of Suburbia again. Or everything? 😂 The Yokohama shows were definitely my favourites of the Japanese ones. I'll post my photos later.

Lovely photo here

I read this without the first s.

Looking at the fan album ranking on green day.fm, Dookie, AI and Saviors take top 3 spots. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-album-rankings/ Imho GD's two greatest albums ever are Kerplunk & 39/Smooth. Of course there's been better quality, better sounding, and better produced GD albums since. And you can now choose your fav with all to compare with. Imagine it's December 1991, you've heard GD on radio for first time. You're seen them live for first time. And a few weeks later you get your first ever GD LP to play, Kerplunk. It's raw, brash, no special effects, totally punk, you've never heard anything like it. Your hooked. This is the most amazing sound to fill your head, nothing will be the same again. These two albums will always be special, coz that's where it all began and you where there and felt it.

Fuck, Billie in glasses is already a whole other level of hot. With eyeliner and that cute new haircut too 😍
