Got my 3 day pass yesterday. Letting you guys know first. Breaking news. I will be staying at the Green Day stage the entire day to be as close to the stage as possible. Beer shall be a noble sacrifice. Water too, but who needs that…actually I’ll bring a water backpack. Let’s go September!!! P.S. I was going to write this in the “random Green Day thoughts” thread, but I saw this was already made ✊. Sometimes I forget I can make a thread too lol

Along with the walk of fame star celebration they are releasing Ballyhoo next Friday too!!! Check on your mailbox guys 😃

Love what Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer, said in a statement about Green Day Quote: "Green Day's music has not only inspired generations but also served as the soundtrack to our lives." ❤️

Don’t forget 3 Grammy nods, not to be sniffed at! You are right, they are having a great year. I am reading so much positive press about their Coachella shows and getting their star on Hollywood Blvd too, general feeling seems to be that it’s about time.

I am so glad to see our boys winning so much this year. They headlined Coachella, nominated for iHeart Radio, won something at Webby Awards, and now this. AND the AMA's just yesterday (or whenever, I don't remember lol). So proud .

oh. my. goodness. That made my day hehe. I have seen pictures, but don't think I've ever seen a video of it, surprisingly. Sooo much better in action. @Yosuke Hanamura thank youuu

Shirtless Billie - video of Billie stripping off in 2010. EXCUSE ME SIR.

Prima Donna.

Couldn't agree more, I just watched it and the show was fire 🔥. Awesome to have a high quality full show to watch and see Billie in all his floofy glory!

Top flight fangirl material throughout the whole show! Great performance and great camera work by someone who knew what we needed…..lots and lots of lovely closeups of BJ. Not only the stare but we got hair floofing too. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

You gotta say hi to Billie and Kevin for me

Can you imagine if you'd been in the front row?!

Ballyhoo is coming on May 2nd https://www.instagram.com/p/DI2l6TkAqG4/?igsh=MTNiN3g1eG9sMW92OQ==

@Cali89 @jengd @GreenDayJunkie86 You can find it in the download of @Yosuke Hanamura at about 1 hour 30 minutes! That should be the moment!😍

Greenday.fm confirms release of Ballyhoo on May 2, stating as celebration of receiving their Walk of Fame star day before.

Screeching Weasel, the Riverdales, Pinhead Gunpowder, Rancid, Op Ivy, Squirtgun, Groovie Ghoulies, Crimpshrine, basically most of the Lookout bands

This! And The Clash

I'm honestly flattered at all the love sent my way!

It definitely looks cool. Now is announced that some bands will play whole records I'm very tempted to go. I mean, what a better deal than seeing Bad Religion playing Suffer and end up the week seeing Green Day playing whatever they want to play Besides, it would be an amazing gift for my gf that is finishing her studies. But is that or waiting for the southamerican dates... Let's see what happens

Ballyhoo comin out soonnn

Oh, I'd love to go. But I'm flying out the week after and well, it would be so irresponsible to do this. To anyone going - have a great time!

That sounds like a fun festival!

This has been a long time coming. Can't believe they're headlining for the first time. AND blink? Do I smell Pop Disaster 2 coming?

Making a thread to link to the GDA article. Tickets: https://www.tixr.com/groups/riotfest/events/riot-fest-2025-126536

Kind of what it says on the tin, but are there any bands or artists that you've gotten into or explored directly because of Green Day? Either they've mentioned them in an interview, collabed with them, mentioned them as an influence etc. etc. I'm always looking for more bands and artists to explore, so interested to see what people say. There are lots of my part but I'll start with a few: - Operation Ivy (fairly obvious, but through the cover and then exploring the original) - The Ramones - Rancid (Again, East Bay punk scene cited as influence). - Frank Turner (saw him support GD at Wembley Stadium in 2010 and he was awesome, been a fan ever since). - The Linda Lindas (watching them kill it last summer as support on the Saviors tour made me check out their stuff). There are many more, but those just to start!

oh tons of bands, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network, The Longshot, The Coverups - oh no wait More seriously though, I'd say that although I had known of these artists previously, Green Day still helped get me more immersed in the likes of The Clash, Generation X, The Who, David Bowie and Tom Petty, mostly as a result of their live covers and talking about their influences in interviews. The Who in particular. It's always been my dad's favourite band and well, I guess the link to Green Day created some great bonding-through-music experiences He was particularly impressed with their A Quick One, While He's Away cover, as am I. The Who are a brilliant band. As my dad used to say, the quintessential rock band and I think I agree. It's hard to describe The Who as anything else other than a rock band, no further labels or qualifications needed. I think Billie must have got part of his flamboyant stage antics from them and Tre definitely seems to have taken inspiration from Keith Moon in some ways too. Though American Idiot (and 21CB) appear to be conceptually inspired by Tommy, which is a pivotal album no doubt, my personal favourite of theirs is Quadrophenia, which I think is a superb album. Truly a rock opera in every sense of the word. And the accompanying feature film is actually pretty decent too.

The Clash was another one for me after Mike had that restaurant 'Rudy's Can't Fail' (does he still part own that?), and named his son Brixton. 😅

No bands in particular apart from Weezer. But I like to listen to the original version of whatever songs Billie covered with Green Day or other bands

Very interesting question. Of course GD's unique new sound "89/'90s spawned many new bands, some becoming famous. But imho no comparison. Billie Joe's family was into music in various forms which influenced him. I'm always fascinated how songwriters and musicians, are influenced by songs prior to their birth. Billie Joe is no exception. So yes, Ramones, obviously. But also '60 British Bands, including The Who, and The Kinks, for example.

I think you may be right. Just watched the download from @Yosuke Hanamura (thank you again) and I think there is a hint of eyeliner or maybe mascara about Mike! Well spotted, maybe for tv they all had to have. Also, you can’t see Billie’s moles on his cheek, so make up def there.

WAIT NO I MISREAD NO I DID IM SORRY i read it is may 23rd not 2nd. im so sorry lolll fixing it now ....... forget this ever happened lol so sorry im tired lol again so sorry it is next friday so like a week lol @nowshesgone I am so sorry. I feel so bad

oh i thought you meant the song lmao

Omg thank you so much! I found it! What a gorgeous human he is Felt like he was staring into my soul haha

Oh yeah how could I forget his pics with Billie . That's cool, look forward to seeing both speakers

He is and they’ve recently gotten to know each other after the guys licensed Good Riddance to them for Deadpool and Wolverine. Billie was a guest at his football club for a UK match during his last visit Livestream will be at walkoffame.com

Another update— guest speakers will be Serena Williams and Ryan Reynolds https://www.instagram.com/p/DI1WfqztaSs/?igsh=MTdnZ3VlODdubXVmeg==

More info here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DI0xddTNoFb/?igsh=anp0Mm5seHh5ajE1 Star and ceremony will be outside Amoeba Records. Event will be livestreamed at 11:30am PT on the Walk of Fame website

I have no plans to. I really need to save money plus I don't like festivals. Last time I went to riot fest I didn't have the best time. BUT if I get free passes....you know I'm going

It's the smallest to biggest thing that just makes the most sense (ofc it *would* having used it all my life). But the day comes first as those are repeated (mostly) each month, then when in the year, and then if you're really confused the year itself. 😅 The one that always gets me with Americans is the time thing with the TV. Like when I see stuff that says it's on at "8/7 Central" - wtf does that mean? I get you have different time zones, but why are the numbers backwards??

Consequence is late to the party Green Day to Receive Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame https://consequence.net/2025/04/green-day-hollywood-walk-of-fame-star/

wooo as soon as I saw the ig story I asked for the day off 😛

Hahah I saw that no one reacted to my thread, and I was all hyped, so I was yelling "WHERE IS EVERYBODY" lol I missed it tho cuz the dumbass webby awards didn't announce the time until it was too late lol. I wanted to see itttt (if it was streamed idek if it was)

This via Green Day Youtube idk if this is posted anywhere else. Cute vid

Just noticed Billie hit 3 million followers.

I already told my BF Green Day announced my bday gift, so he needs to make a note of that Did we get any more information about the zine? It looks like the lyric book.

'1972' to 'Final Album Name' is like 'Class of 13' to '21st Century Breakdown'. It was a title they played around with a lot and one that fits with overall theme of the album and appears in lyrics - but in the end they've found something a lot better and more fitting for a project that they've put this much heart into. Although it's possible 1972 is the name of a documentary or something along those lines that goes along with the album, I find it a bit strange that people are jumping to the conclusion that 1972 is something seperate like that as opposed to just an admittedly not perfect marketing strategy to generate hype for this new record. If the number 1972 isn't somewhere on the front or back cover of the final record I'll drink my Nimrod
