If I manage to be a person they pull on stage, I will say hello to them all and hopefully talk myself into the touring band. I mean their live shows have been pretty good and all, but a 4th guitarist/backing vocalist could really put them over the edge 🤣

Oh gosh, there are so many. The Who is my all time favorite Classic Rock band because of the covers. Queen, The Replacements.....just recently got into Poison Idea. I might make a massive, rambling list later but Dude Jr is yelling at me.

theres a difference though between the gillman scene (where GD was born) and a bunch of dumbasses who have nothing better to do then support a fascist leader

Which mailbox? Are u on something?

I think American Idiot is far and above the most cohesive of the bunch, though I do really have a soft spot for the aesthetics of 21CB & Trilogy eras

Haven't seen this thread in a while! My new fav rn is Shenanigans. No explanation needed.

there's some fun, old Green Day stuff in these scans from Musician magazine

The thing I find funny is the number of people insulting them on fanpages. Not the band/members pages, but like Green Day Italy, etc. It's sad enough to be on the official page of someone you hate, but how empty does your life have to be to hate obsess on a fanpage?

Hey party people (at least I hope that's what those young folks today say), So I've been a fan for a while and have been collecting some stuff over the years and besides doing scans of artwork I also like to scan magazines and books. Especially this year I focused on a lot of Japanese mags I wanted to share since not too many people outside of Japan have seen these or people from outside of Germany have seen the German mags I also have. Since I always wanted to have the American Idiot tour book they did (actually "just" tour rehearsal photos and dates) and since it's AI's anniversary, I wanted to share HQ scans of those as well. Since I'm a perfectionist I edited the pictures to be as close as possible to the original mag or how it "should" look digitized, these took a lot of time and I wanted to share as much as possible at once with you. There's still stuff to scan and/or edit. Here's a short list of what's coming next: Warning Tour Book, Crossbeat 2001/12, Guitar Breakers 2004/10, Crossbeat 1995/11, Crossbeat 2000/08, Visions 2009/05, (maybe) Billboard 2009/05, etc. Well, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hk68uJ_YwpQBby3nlLWhRAWU6_8vdAkE?usp=sharing Enjoy!

Never thought I’d see the day where Green Day, The Beach Boys, and Knocked Loose are all on the same bill but here we are 😛

This is going to be a hell of a festival GYM. CLASS. HEROES.

Oooh, same! I’m so interested, I’ll move to DM so we don’t clog this thread LOL

Thanks I used to post them, but I deleted my account, heh. I have done a gazillion covers. Distillers, All Time Low, Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Misfits, Ramones, The Network, NOFX, Pinhead Gunpowder, and ... more that I can't remember at the moment, lol. I sing as well, so I did some vocal covers of Hole, No Doubt, and the Cranberries.

Every rock genre & subgenre you can think of, hehe. I just finished playing some Distillers, NOFX, Pinhead Gunpowder, Spitalfield, and Green Day (obviously, lol) last night . All jokes aside, super smooth, fun to play, great guitar overall OH and can't forget the Ramones!! played some of them too OH and Alkaline Trio, lol why does my memory suck

Oh that’s a nice one, what kinda stuff are you playing with it?

Aim high! I like the way you think 😂

Rancid and Screeching weasel

Yeah, I saw PD support as well and didn't love them that much 🫣 Other bands Green Day has directly influenced me to check out: The Interrupters - not sure what the connection is here, but I definitely remember it being something to do with GD. The Replacements - after Beej talked about them once (Here Comes A Regular is still one of my face songs of all time).

Sorry going of at a tangent a tad. But you've reminded of the time back in '90s when they where vilified and even hated, for signing to major label to make Dookie, although it was the right thing to do. And having to leave 924 Gilman Street as well. That must have really hurt. I remember I was so sad for them.

I can only think they are envious of GD's success. Album sales of almost 94m, shows how much the band are appreciated, enjoyed for so many years and loved. And the band know and appreciate that. They don't realise what they are missing. Sad really. I'm sure the band just ignore them for what they are.

Exactly! Same when someone calls them Green Gay…

I keep seeing conservatives trying to insult Billie and Tre on social media with 'they look like old lesbians' and I never wade into the cesspits that are internet comment sections, but in these cases I'm really having to restrain myself from pointing out that Billie and Tre would not be offended.

I believe it’s live-streamed on YouTube.

I love thatt (especially the ring holder, hehe) I forgot this thread existed lolll. Well, everyone is probably like "STOP TALKING ABOUT UR NEW GUITAR" by now lol, cuz I have posted it now three times, haha. Anywayyyy here it is From other post: I bought a new Epiphone today. I was trying to branch out from the Gibson-brand guitars (since I already have a Maestro Les Paul), but the guitar was too perty to pass up hehe https://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Special-Satin-E1-Electric-Guitar-Heritage-Cherry-Sunburst-1500000014896.gc

I think Mike probably has worn eyeliner quite often as part of regular stage/photoshoot/event makeup, just usually in a subtle not meant to be noticed way. Probably just a bit more added as he's older in the same way they all have more of that type of makeup now alongside Billie and Tre's bolder statement eyeliner/eyeshadow. Maybe more noticeable on this good quality video.

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

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.

You gotta say hi to Billie and Kevin for me

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

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

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

I forgot to mention that is listed as Explicit Track on streaming, so...

Stay young or Suzie should be a single

that doesnt really give much insight into it not being an instrumental besides the fact that its not as reflective as Stay Young it could just be a really long solo that is as explosive as Belushi and presumably Fuck Off

It's not instrumental 1234 Go has a brief description about the new songs: "This expanded version includes 7 bonus tracks: the explosive “Smash It Like Belushi,” “Fuck Off,” “Ballyhoo” and “Underdog,” a reflective “Stay Young".

Ballyhoo showing up on Amazon Music (although not playable yet) so looks like another song release may be imminent.

I've encountered some bands that did.

Green Day getting banned for something they didn't do is wtf. Also i noticed that on itunes saviors deluxe store page. All saviors tracks are in pre-order state. Are we getting a saviors remastered tracks? Dookie 30th anniversary and american idiot 20th anniversary had all their standard tracks available to play /download after you pre-order the album. The reason why i said "REMASTERED" is because keane did this on their hopes and fears 20th anniversary where the remastered standard tracks are not available to play until release day and it was a new different remaster mix instead of using the 2009 remasters.

Yeah I knew about the mic (which is why I probably should've fully guessed about the ear pieces!). I can just imagine them cracking jokes into it from time to time.

The nice thing about in ear monitors is each one is customized for each player so they get the mix that suits them best and can hear what they need to. They can also communicate with each other on stage through the in ears via one microphone that you can sometimes see set back near the drum kit. Billie can speak in that one to call an audible or make a comment and the other players can hear him but the audience can't.

This might be the best combination of words I have read this year

We had a similar experience at a show with the Donots (that German punk band that opened for Green Day last summer in Berlin and Hamburg): the band‘s tech guy accidentally exchanged the in-ears of the singer and the guitarist. The result was endearingly chaotic…😂 But I can imagine that Billie can cope with such a situation, no problem…

I think it’s a great sign we’re getting a deluxe. For YEARS this boys have been far behind on music promo, and this new era seems to have new management behind the scenes getting these videos, tracks, and social posts out there. It’ll also tie in nicely with their upcoming Coachella set, which you’d want new music prepared for. Whether you’re a fan of deluxe editions or not, it’s very commonplace these days in music and from a marketing perspective it does a lot to extend the otherwise short lifespan of an album in the current music landscape. That said, I’m happy the boys have a competent team behind them now, and it shows because we are getting FED! 🥳

To answer this I decided to do research and count up how many songs from each album are in my GD favorite songs playlist. 21 CB/Warning tied for first and RevRad/Saviors tied for second…and the science is right, because those four are exactly what I would’ve picked as my favorite Green Day albums. I’d say the common theme between all four is the sharp writing. 21CB is so sweeping and ambitious, I love acoustic rock and so Warning has always appealed to me, and I love the mix of old and new sounds on RevRad and Saviors. The latter two are both just fun albums that really convey what Green Day feels like to me — warm, heartfelt, honest, and worried about the world.

Nimrod AI Saviors Love the variation on Nimrod/Saviors and AI is just purely iconic

21st Century Breakdown. It has always been and always will be my favourite. Such a great tracklist.
