Mike and family have a new dog, Johnny

¡Dos! Is still their best album from start to finish. It doesn't contain their best songs, but it's a banger after banger with easiest story to follow through and every song can be played without playing other album songs (except See You Tonight, which is still the best intro to album that is all about sex, drugs and rock and roll).

I love Christians Inferno

Well, I guess when it rains it pours because I had another in depth GD dream last night: I was seeing signs of Green Day everywhere when I went to visit family in another state and thought that was odd because they haven’t done much recently in regards to new content. There was a rental car (I think) and in back pocket of the front passenger’s seat there was a stage play magazine that had them on the cover and a blurb about an article inside. I opened it and looked at the table of contents to find where the article was and flipped through the magazine to it, but went a little past it and ended somewhere in the middle. For some reason, this was a massive magazine and the Green Day thing was somewhere around page 233 or something. I wanted to go to the beginning of the article so I flipped back through and it kept going and going. This was at least a 25-30 page thing and was basically step by step of what was in a current play going on. I found out where it was and went, and it ended up being along the side of a really famous street or something. It wasn’t really a play, but each snapshot of what was in the magazine, but extremely strange and surreal. The only way I can describe it is as you walked by, it was almost like you were transported to these particular moments in time and it felt real, but you were just a witness and still remained where you were in reality. This “play” encompassed the entire early history of Green Day and focused on things that were previously completely unknown. It covered everything from the disgusting to the utterly fascinating of what goes on behind the scenes that people never see of when they tour. There was so much detail that I can’t remember all of it, but highlights are probably that they often get into drag to go out without being recognized, Tré kissing a wild duck on the beak on an off day when they all went to a lake, and recalling the handful of times they’ve gotten so “piss” drunk that there had to be changes of pants for a couple of them. All of this seemed to be mostly Dookie through Nimrod eras, but there was some of late AI towards the end and Billie had longer, fluffy hair in those parts. There was a place to buy it in different forms, such as a matchbook sized, duct tape cover booklet, a CD case that opened to reveal the content, or zine. The purchased versions were basically what had been in the magazine article.

I might have posted this before but I still love this video of American Eulogy from the Shoreline Amphitheater in 2010. Doubt they'll ever play it again but it would be so cool if they did

I agree. It’s an underrated album for sure. Very fun to listen to and it sticks to the theme the best out of the trilogy. I like to see it as a sequel to Stop, Drop & Roll.

I love Christian's Inferno, but hating it isn't an unpopular opinion. This live performance was amazing

Yeah, he certainly knew about that Forever Now single. and that American Idiot movie. and that book the band were going to release. Ya know?

Sorry, I didn't mean it was you who made it,. It was just a general opinion.

I rarely dream at all but last night I was somehow at a weird small club for a GD show. It had a two tier stage and at one point Mike appeared on the top floor in a red check maxi skirt, chunky boots and a shaved head Billie was dressed exactly like he was for New Year 2019/20. There were about three rows of faceless people in front of the stage and I was sat at a round table on a big white wooden chair at it behind them. My shoe broke (random I know). Next thing a woman pulls a curtain round the stage and Billie says something to everyone about going for a helicopter ride We were flying over water (Caribbean looking?) and I woke up I love that we looked like our avatars

I love Pinhead Gunpowder, but it did take awhile for me to appreciate them. I think the 2010 dress show is my most rewatched GD related show. Favorites are everything off the 2008 ep and Second Street. ETA also Landlords, Life During Wartime, At Your Funeral, and MPLS Song.

I love these dreams lol. They're so vivid! Meanwhile MGK appeared in my most recent dream. In the distance but still 🤢

I third that Pinhead Gunpowder is meh. A few good songs but nothing remarkable imo

I love that dream, at least it seems I got near Billie in someone’s dreams!

Do you think we’ll every have a Green Day track that features a guest vocalist or we’ll see them do a proper duet with someone ? Is there any existing GD tracks that would have suited a special guest.. I was only listening to “East Jesus Nowhere” the other day and thinking how awesome it would have been to have Sinead O’Connor singing on it. She would fit perfectly with the sentiment of the song and i think her voice would compliment BJ’s also. I think “Oh Love” would have made a great duet with Paul McCartney also… To be fair there are so many songs BJ has written that could be sung with Paul. Anything else ?

Yeah it was never released

Yeah, that's not Billie

Fake, but nice try.

I love all pinhead gunpowder/network music, probably more than than anything post-idiot.

Wish that was longer I was hoping for a complete breakdown of the song and process.

There's a new masterclass available by Chris Lord-Alge on how Boulevard of Broken Dreams was mixed: https://mixwiththemasters.com/videos/deconstructing-a-mix-44-green-day-boulevard-of-broken-dreams

Ordinary World off God‘s favorite Band

Nightlife (feat. Lady Cobra)

Only thing I agree with on that old comment is that Dookie is overrated. I think Insomniac is waaaaay better.

From an old live (found the screenshots whilst clearing out my phone )

He keeps making up things that Green Day’s going to do. Sometimes they even do it!

It actually had 72 posts since the time we were speculating about it, before FOAM was announced. I actually started getting the American Idiot vibes from the 3rd teaser. And even this one, the second teaser, reminds me of Give Me Novacaine

The very first 1972 teaser (Rak studios) sounded almost like a FOAM song, same with the "share this song with your dog" teaser. All the newer teasers sound much more American idiot, and in general a bit heavier. I wonder if a reason this album is taking so long is because they decided to re-record some of the songs with Rob to make a more authentic Green Day sounding album 🤔🤔🤔 Oh and also songsforassholes account now has exactly 72 post. Lol no fuckin way it's a coincidence

Meh, I'd say walking catastrophe or anniversary . Everything else is kinda bland

Great dream, now you know why I am happy to be in someone’s dream! 🤣🤣

Billie was in my passenger seat in my dream last night. I don't remember exactly how he got there but I think Green Day were playing in my city and they trusted me to drive Billie around now I've passed my driving test. Anyway, a bird shat on my windscreen and I tried to park to wash it off, but the handbrake wouldn't work and even the footbrake had gone to shit because the car just rolled everywhere. Billie even had a go at the handbrake but it didn't help. At some point I must've got the car stationary and I tried to use the screenwash to get rid of the bird poo, but it wasn't working. The screenwash was clear at first but it was apparently full of gunk and horse poo. It eventually exploded all over my windscreen and flooded the engine until it sounded like the car was about to explode with us in it. We jumped out and I was like "Billie! You know all about cars! Do something!" And then I saw Mike getting a parking ticket so I ran to the machine, but the only options for parking there were "getting a bus" and "shopping" and I was just like "my car is exploding, don't give me a ticket!" I started to get quite annoyed with Billie because he was just staring at the engine and walking around the car. Then he got back in and tried to drive it. I don't know if it ever exploded. The dream changed to something else I don't remember. Green Day, you can trust my driving, but you can't trust my peasant wagon. It might be full of horse poo. Anyway, this was definitely a driving anxiety dream featuring Billie and Mike, not a Green Day dream. Edit: I just remembered what the dream changed to... we discovered that "I never had a problem dissecting the math" was FAKE NEWS and the true lyric was "I never had a problem dissecting a man" after all. I was going to post about it on GDA but something delayed me (probably the exploding car) and then I wasn't sure if it was worth posting anymore. How foolish! Of course that would be worth posting! I'm very late to this post but it made me snort my chocolate bar, thanks

I’m convinced the album will release on tre’s birthday. evidence: -it’s a Friday this year, and that’s now when albums tend to come out - 1972 makes most sense both released this year and once everyone is 50 And I’m going to say first single around my birthday because it’s nice to think positively

Wow, after months of no Green Day dreams I had a pretty in depth one last night: I was in some bleachers/seats that I believe were in an arena, because Billie was on the stage, but it just seemed to be him and he was talking instead of playing an instrument (all the details are fuzzier now because I didn’t get to write it down in the morning right after). I realized that I could get closer, pretty much right up to the railing/barrier, because there actually weren’t that many people there. Whatever this was seemed to be fairly informal and Billie was talking with the audience. I went up close to the front and got pretty close to him and was fangirling a little because he walked past me. Don’t remember much more from that part, but it somehow morphed to a different situation with all the same people there. Some of them were GDCers (@jengd and @Rumpelstiltskin2000 I think even though I don't know what you look like! I think it was like your avatars or something). It seemed to be Billie’s house (?) but it was small and everything looked very old (like “old person” style). Billie was messing with setting up a very small, black and white antenna TV from like the 50s or 60s that he had apparently restored because we were all going to watch something. The other TVs in this house were old as well. He did not appear to have a flatscreen anywhere. I was looking at the TV thinking ‘are we really going to watch something on this?’ and was right up in front of it, inspecting it. Billie was right next to me, fiddling with it and trying to get it to work. All I can remember about his appearance is he had shorter hair and was wearing a brown sweater. He got the TV working and it started playing something. It was this weird old timey thing about fur trappers and hunters or something that lasted about 10 mins and ended up just being a commercial for cigarettes. I turned to Billie asked him if he had finished Stranger Things because I wanted to tell him about Fear Street (a new slasher movie trilogy on Netflix) since Sadie Sink (who plays Max in ST) is in a couple of them as well as Maya Hawke (who plays Robin). However, before I got the chance to say anything to him about it, my alarm went off and I woke up.

Look I’m sorry, not meaning to sound rude, but how do you want them to keep those songs permanently on their setlist, if you haven’t even heard them yet?

Wow the views on all their TikToks are in the tens to low hundreds of thousands but for some reason the one with Billie signing autographs at O’Hare Airport has 3.4 million. They need to get him to do more.

So this came up on Tumblr...

Clearing some stuff off my phone and found these which I don't think I've posted Poland 2017 Italy 2017 Brussels 2017 Some others from the Hella Mega North American Tour 2021

It's like the new Where's Waldo- Where's Billie's midriff?

Hallelujah!
