Sorry if this this has already been shared, but Kerrang radio say GD will be in the studio on Wednesday morning. Looks like they are back in Paris though from Britt's IG.

That's very cool too but Trump Towers are actually a thing so "pulverize the Donald Trump Towers" sounds way more powerful to me, no matter if the point of view gets a little bit confused.

Another amusing anecdote about my mum and Green Day I was telling her about Matty Healy (lead singer in The 1975) being pulled onstage to play bass at a Green Day concert when he was a kid/teenager. Me: Matty was onstage with Green Day when he was a kid Mum: What? How old is he? Me: 27 Mum: ... when did Green Day form? Me: Uh. In the 80s. Her: How old is Billie? Me: Um, 43? 44? Her: HOW LONG AGO DID WE SEE THEM?! Me: The first time? Eleven years ago. Or seven years ago for the second time. She then proceeded to have a bit of a meltdown and demanded I show her a recent photo of Billie, which she was incredulous about and thought was from the AI era

Yeah, now that you mention it, I do get that sort of Muse vibe in places!!!

And, I don't know if you agree, but in that part I feel like it was a Muse song (as I have already said in another thread). I mean, powerful toms and snare and changes between guitar and bass are so Muse-like.

Nice observation! I never really noticed that before!!!

it's funny you say that because whenever I listen to the live version that is what is in my head when i think of the song. I didn't realize how much more it actually resonates with me because I usually like studio versions better but you have a good point. Just like when I listen to the live version of JOS that stays with me more too. Certain songs when I think of them the broadway version actually comes to me like Too Much Too Soon.

And then of course, my IDEAL set list: 1. Scattered 2. BANG BANG BANG 3. Holiday 4. Boulevard of Broken Dreams 5. Still Breathing 6. She 7. Too Dumb to Die 8. Uptight 9. F(woo) Time 10. X-Kid 11. Stray Heart 12. At the Library 13. 80 14. Pulling Teeth 15. Stuart and the ave. 16. American Idiot 17. 86 18. Nice Guys Finish Last 19. Redundant 20. Worry Rock 21. Take Back 22. Walking Contradiction 23. 21 Guns 24. Minority ENCORE: 25. Letterbomb 26. Jesus of Suburbia 27. Whatshername 28. Down in the Willow Garden

When I had the above conversation with my Mum, she said ''so are GD in their 60's''!! She couldn't believe it when I told her that they're 43/44 years old

I forgot how much I loved this until it came up in my reccomended. Haven't seen this in years!

I've got his number.

Dude, I had the same thought. I did a cover of holiday for an event earlier this year, I modernized it by saying "sieg heil to the president trump man" which I thought made way more sense.

😂😂😂 A 50 year old! Bless. I love parents.

Reminds me of how BIAB was on TV a while ago and mom was like "wow he looks good for a 50-year-old!" I told her he was 33 at the time and she said: "he looked good back then and he looks good now!"

New pic of Billie taken in Paris at Oui FM where I think a fan won the chance to meet the band

Random: the bridge in Outlaws it's VERY similar to the end of Restless Heart Syndrome.

Maybe it's his back. I think he gave us a hint in that picture interview some weeks ago

Anyone notice that Billie wears his guitar higher now?

Random thought; is it just me or does Mike always look so majestic when he's playing? Idk he just kind of makes me think of a big, majestic lion. Like Mufasa or something... I mean; (Googled pictures, let me know if it's yours and you want it taken down) Am I making any sense? I'm really sleep deprived and this thought just popped into my head and I was like; yeah, that makes sense...

I will be doing a 4 hour drive to go to an event on the 20th (and then 4 hours back) and it occurred to me that it might be fun to fill that time by playing as many GD albums as I can in order. I definitely wouldn't get all the way through, but I haven't actually listened to a full album in a long time (other than RR). Maybe even make a blog post about it if it inspires anything

That's what I'll tell my grandchildren about one day.

Anyone still remembering freaking out about the 'One week' post back in the 'Green Day in the studio 2016' thread? EDIT: Those were the days. On Saturday we heard rumors about Bang Bang and the day after an unofficial track list (which we now know to be completely accurate) was published. That weekend was legit the one the year's best.

He would have felt the "crazed fan" waves coming off of me and ran for his life.

Yeah and Billie will hug her

Keep drinking, the band will probably walk in any minute

so they are playing Bohemian Rhapsody in this little dive bar that we frequent and all I can think is in 4 months I'll be singing this with 12,000 people and it's bringing a tear to my eye.

My fiance does not agree with my assessment of Youngblood You're not crazy!! Even though I've been lucky enough to see them a lot of times before I'm still super happy and overwhelmed that I get to see them multiple times again. Let alone when I think that I'm going to see them at one of the venues I first saw them in 2009, I go all fuzzy inside and get emotional. Other than my mum and my partner no one in my life gets it either, but we're just too cool for them

I think I can understand you. GD in some ways changed my (rather short) life during a bad period, so it means a lot to me too... OK: No. You are not crazy! I can tell you this is real life, the boring, difficult life... But over 365 boring days, 5 of your days will be green. I'll live just one green day, the first of my life, and you can't know how much I am excited. I think about GD more or less 30 times a day, I have always music in my head and songs recall me different periods of my existance. Every time I listen to a song I think about the first time I heard it, then I start wondering when it was, what happened and so on. I shiver every time I do that and that's one of the greatest things a one could do. This is just my modest opinion. I hope I got the point.

I kind of need someone to hold my hand and tell me I'm not crazy or dreaming. I've now bought my tickets to see Green Day for every date they're playing in Australia. It was a bit of a rash decision to add Perth and I guess I didn't believe it was happening until I clicked to pay for my ticket. This is all very overwhelming. I've never seen them more than once on a tour before, and now I'm seeing them five times in less than two weeks?! Help me, I don't know how to process my emotions right now. Is this actually real life? I can't really talk to anyone about this because no one seems to truly understand how much this band means to me

I agree. Static Age has always been one of my favorites. It is so catchy and fun, it would have made a great single.

I've come to realize how Static Age should have been the next single after 21 Guns. It is so powerful, catchy and radio friendly (especially back then) I'm sure it would have done pretty well on the charts. I've never understood why they gave up on promoting properly the singles after 21 Guns anyway.
