Rolling Stone 100 Best Protest Songs (#25 and mentioned in #36)

Billie wearing non-tight pants makes me uncomfortable. 😄 It's very unBillielike. People in the real world keep telling me I'm autistic. These two things may or may not be related. You guys would know - my posts are always totally normal, right?

Still blows my mind that this song gets so many Spotify plays in general. It's a great song, but how do so many people know about it?

@solongfromthestars Take the time you need. You’ve done an amazing job and it’s been so interesting to read it all. I’ll be patiently awaiting your return. When you have the time and are ready. ❤️

On Feb 1, LNOE had 170,000 daily plays. It went up to 224,000 a day later.

Even higher yesterday- 250,000.

I believe it was Woodstock 1994 vinyl back in 2019. Already six years since I've bought it, time flies man..

Billboard chart update- Alternative Airplay: 5 (down from 2) Rock & Alternative Airplay: 10 (down from 4) Mainstream Rock Airplay: 23 (down from 15) I'll update if there's any new peaks, but it looks like it's already gone as high as it'll go.

One minor thing I find a little bit irksome about this song... The verses go "do you wanna be my..." 1. Girlfriend 2. Boyfriend 3. Best Friend... right? So in the outro, I always feel like that should be reflected but they just repeat "boyfriend" twice. Do you wanna be my girlfriend? Do you wanna be my boyfriend? Do you wanna be my boyfriend? I always want the last one to be "best friend"

Totally. Relax. 😘

Sorry, just read your post properly 🫣

Yup. 25 is American Idiot, 36 is MDC with the no trump, no kkk, no fascist USA chant mentioned.

They are amazing, been listening to them all day! Their guitarist is so full of energy and crazy!!

Support acts for @GreenDay's upcoming Japan tour are finally announced! @aburinatown for Osaka, and @otobokebeaver for Nagoya and Yokohama! Girls rock #greenday #greendayjp25 All girls band!!

Hah sounds like one of those "unfinished business" dreams where you try to fall asleep to go back .

@solongfromthestars thank you so much for all these amazing posts. Take the break you need, take care of yourself. Xx

4 February 2025 On this day 27 years ago (4 February 1998), Green Day played Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium on the Nimrod Tour. 32 years ago (4 February 1993), Green Day played Emo's in Houston, TX. More photos (by juarezma on Flickr): 5 February 2025 On this day 8 years ago (5 February 2017), Green Day played the FirstDirect Arena in Leeds, England on the Revolution Radio Tour. I wasn't supposed to go to this show either Someone on Twitter was selling a pit ticket for face value and I was already in Manchester, so I got the train to Leeds and sprinted off to the arena. Not sure why I bothered running when I was going to get there at doors anyway, but the barrier was so long that I did get onto the end. The recap I wrote back then: 'In all honesty, I hadn’t slept for days and I was exhausted, my ribs were bruised from Paris and I was panicking about the Manchester queue. The crowd initially seemed unresponsive too, until Billie roared "I want to hear your loud English voices!" and it was as if we all woke up. I was no longer tired and it was a surreal experience, being back where it all began for me, in arenas in England. Because there is no experience like Green Day in England. There’s no energy like this, no atmosphere like this, anywhere else. To be one of those voices, a collective voice so loud it feels like it could shake the bowels of the earth – it’s surreal. I’m not at all patriotic, but Billie screaming "fuck you I’m from ENGLAND!" at the top of his lungs in Youngblood, then thanking us for welcoming him home was something else. They also played Armatage Shanks and I may have temporarily died (of happiness, obviously).' More photos: 20 years ago (5 February 2005), Green Day played the Brighton Centre in Brighton, England on the American Idiot Tour. More photos: 27 years ago (5 February 1998), Green Day played the Live Music Hall in Cologne, Germany on the Nimrod Tour. 31 years ago (5 February 1993), Green Day played Club Clearview in Dallas, TX. This will be my last post in here for a bit. I'm very sad to have to leave it when I'm so close to finishing the project, but I'm so busy and stressed that I'm on the verge of a meltdown (not looking for sympathy, just explaining) and then I'll be away without my laptop for a while. If people are interested I can post the stuff I'll miss when I've got more time. Otherwise I'll resume the project when I can, probably in mid-March. I have prepared over a month of stories and posts for the GDA Instagram. They're not as in depth but they do give some information.

That's so Billie Think I've seen them called fidget toys too

This photo of Billie with Rob Halford at the Grammys is so sweet. ❤️

I don't think this has been posted here? Some pretty profound words from Billie: https://www.facebook.com/reel/630638289635490

I understand losing to The Beatles. Now and Then, while not my favorite Beatles song, is still a really good track and is the final Beatles song with all of them playing on it. Many people around the world, including myself, listened the moment it was released. The track was worked on for years, as recently as 2022. And, AI just separated the tracks on John's demo for better mixing/clarity. I wish Paul McCartney never said anything because now so many people think that John's voice was artificially created — which is not the case. I encourage everyone to watch the short film on YouTube to understand the work that went into the song. Also, Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré are all huge fans of The Beatles and The Stones so I don't think losing will sting that much — especially after the gigantic Saviors tour which grossed $132 million and was the band's best-selling tour to date. They'll be fine, haha. What I don't understand is Dilemma losing to Broken Man by St. Vincent

My husband has a great love of little noise machines (he has a whole assortment of fart machines, cartoon sounds etc) and just loves using them at the most inappropriate times, Billie’s little gadget made me think maybe he’s as bad!

Oh my god it really is the same thing every time. It sucks that it's in every comment section but it's just cringe Trump worshippers who were never fans. It's not people who used to like them changing their opinion it's just haters and people who know nothing about them getting exposed to posts about them when they wouldn't have in the past because of how shitty the Facebook algorithm is now purposely ragebaiting people to comment by showing them things their demographic might dislike. The lesbian comment is so stupid because they wouldn't even consider it an insult since they're not bigoted losers.

Their performance of Last Night On Earth was really beautiful. I love this clip. Makes me feel like I am listening to them for the first time again ❤️

Congrats to Tre! Well deserved. Hope it’s a good omen for the Grammies.
