I don’t think it’s a surprise that people talk politics on a forum about a punk band, the one music genre that’s all about politics? 😅 especially a band that’s where vocal about where they stand at almost every concert

Guess what?! You guys won, now we're all going to die young! No need to resurrect a 4 year old thread to spew anti-vax bullshit. Stay on Twitter with that shit.

I would love it, but I could see him trying something new before doing another Shot project. The songs he did for Pinhead Gunpowder sound like they could be Longshot songs so if he didn’t save them for that he’s probably not planning another album. I suppose it all depends on what the songs he writes sound like, whether he thinks they’d suit Green Day, an existing project or a new one. I imagine the songs come first then he decides where they fit.

Yeah sorry but if you still support Trump with everything going on right now you are actively supporting a fascist regime. There's no 'both sides are bad' argument of any substance to be made. Most politicians left or right lie and obfuscate, Trump is something else. He is the worst impulses of humanity wrapped in an incredibly thin skinned and cruel old man. Anyway...I agree, at a guess I could see potentially getting some hints in 2027.

Billie typically needs a creative outlet between GD records (while Mike and Tre get to spend time with their younger children), so why not bring back the Shot?

my advice is, if you're under 35 and don't have and dependents, always go for the crazy, impulsive "fuck it" choice.

you are so clever for thinking about that YES i am so excited. As I always say, I love when there are a bunch of people commenting at the same time on a thread, just feels like we are all at a party together hehe

I'm sorry, but if there is 5 people sitting at a table and one of them is a nazi then there's 5 nazis at that table. As @Hermione pointed out earlier, "Border Security" in practice means sending ICE gestapo squads out to rip innocent people from their families without warrants or due process, and "pro life" means forced birth. People seem to not realize how horrific this all is. Also, I find it very hard to believe people when they claim they thought Trump was only going to deport dangerous criminals because we have over a decade of racist anti-immigrant rhetoric from him at this point.

When as a tourist in Copenhagen, Denmark, you order alcohol free beer, get a Heineken 0.0 and think „YES, that’s Billie‘s beer!“😃

Voted again today

I was shocked to see how well this single is doing. Couldn't imagine it having a shelf life like this when it leaked a few years ago lol. I guess it makes sense though, very catchy and fun to sing along to.

Got two boxes but no autoroute guitar pieces… got some rare ones certain cards they only printed 200 of…lol maybe not the best purchase

I’m thinking now Warning Anniversary? This October would be when it is 25 and insomniac 30

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMHGEBuVA7hWX-e1hAe/ They played Redundant 🔥🙌🏻 Pd: you must have a tiktok account to watch the livestream.

What’s making people think there might be more Longshot? I’d love it. My Longshot show was probably my favorite live show I’ve been to so I hope for more but idk if Billie will bring it back.

True but it's relative. I imagine he (along with many left leaning Americans) would support US "left" parties moving further left/being closer to European left standards if that was on the table I like it. And it seems plausible since Billie seems to be a writing machine that never stops so he's gonna have to do something between albums

I also like forums over Reddit. Obviously there are a lot of issues with Reddit but what I can't stand about music subreddits are how you aren't allowed to have a critical opinion about something. I've seen far too many threads saying things like those who don't like xyz album give it another shot!! Or don't listen to the haters! It's fine if you like an album. It's also fine if others don't. That's what makes an interesting discussion. Reddit is too much of an echo chamber.

I’m with @Clockwise and as a European who loves the US, watching what’s happening there, I think now is not the time for the olive branch but to be loud and angry.

Not to go too off topic, but if you're on the fence about mass deportations, trans rights or the genocide in Gaza, then I think you've made your choice. I'm not talking about either of you personally, but more and more these days saying you're in "the middle" just means you're on the right but are too afraid to say it.

woohoooooo I really hope green day gets something lol

Redundant 🥹 But unfortunately that seems to have been the only deep cut (unless we count Coming Clean, and since South America didn't get the full Dookie tour, I guess it should count)

Scott Naggleburg posted that it went to no 1 and was the 4th no 1 from Saviors but am sure it said Mediabase. No idea what the difference is.

Sao Paolo show should be livestreamed As much as I like Coming Clean, I'm sad to see Saviors dropped I wish someone could save those lives since that they didn't stay online afterwards

haha i just got the biggest "...anyways..." vibe from the comments today lol. there's a reason people shouldn't talk about politics lol. Let's get back on topic Yeah, I believe a new album should drop between 2028-2030. I say that because the boys have said they are taking a break for a sec, so I am giving them a year or two more than the "expected" sequence date allows.

I never knew that just now I was like "since when?" loll

I think it was Mediabase, not Billboard.

That time when Billie Joe was a member of Rancid https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN12FRcXOMW/?igsh=MTlqd3I2bTI4cjlkYQ==

Still voting every day!👍

This is part of the cycle. It’ll happen every 3-4 months until the album comes out.

I don't drink, but I really want that bottle

I couldn't lol Billie isn't a centrist he's a leftist liberal and a punk. He will never be a centrist especially not at a time when the right is absolutely insane and doing horrendous damage across the earth Because you have some reasonable stances doesn't make your unreasonable and harmful stances any more justified. If you are pro what ICE is doing right now and pro forced birth and denying women bodily autonomy those are fascist stances and you can expect to be judged for them

I know its a stretch, but considering its a dual anniversary for Insomniac and Warning this year, and songs from those album has been snuck into the setlist as of late -- what if some of the choices is based on the fact that they originate from the Warning era? There's been reason to speculate that songs such as Oh Love and Brutal Love might have existed in one form or another as far back as Warning/Cigarettes & Valentines era. Sadly I don't expect there to be a Warning Anniversary box-set, but if there is it would be so cool if it turned out both Walk Away and Missing You are included as early demos/outtakes from that era. One can dream atleast, right?

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I think the forums being quiet has more to do with that than with anything the band or even the admins and users of the forums are doing or not doing. Me too! I feel on Instagram (I cannot speak to TikTok becase I have never used it) all the interactions are way more superficial, you don't really get to form online friendships on there. Also, there is so much hate in those platforms, I hardly ever read comments on any post anymore. And besides, I feel every time I comment on a public account (Green Day account, news outlet, or my favorite WeRateDogs 😅), I started getting spam or follow requests from soft porn accounts. How is me commenting that a dog is cute or that I hope Green Day plays Fancy Sauce at their next show an indicator that I want to see some lady's "sexy" pictures? So that also discourages me (and I guess others) from participating in any discussion. The forums just feel like relatively safe space, where everyone is here because they love the band, so that means we also share some common values that are openly supported by the band. And here you interact with the same group of people every time so you can form actual friendships and bonds with them that can eventually extend beyond just the shared interest in Green Day.

Really? I guess that is true, every forum I see was made 20 years ago or shut down. What about Reddit? I feel Reddit is more popular than a single dedicated forum Morning, noon and night

With other bands I follow it's mostly X, Instagram and Tiktok. Personally I can't be bothered with Tiktok or X. Parts of one fanbase I'm in, is active on Tumblr which I think is a little funny since so many of them are teens/in their early 20s. I used Tumblr as much as MySpace when I was a teen. 😅

Funny, some days ago I asked my Swiftie daughter about forums. And the answer was, forums aren’t a thing at all. Everything important happens on TikTok and Instagram. Times change, obviously…

I think it's more the general state of the internet though... most people who were really active in the golden years of the forums are now parents with young kids, and/or busy work schedules, so they cannot spend as much time and energy on the forums, or on the band in general. And newer generations are more into social media (TikTok Instagram, etc.), which was not as huge a phenomena back then, so they are not coming to the forums (and that makes me a bit sad because Green Day forums where such a nice place for me when I was a teen, so I feel they're missing out on something). But like I wonder if Taylor Swift forums (to name a really huge artist in terms of number of fans/listeners) today have as much traffic as the GDC or Idiot Club used to have in their golden years?

Hey, this is what I‘m doing. Even if it’s quiet. Maybe this is a „new fan phenomenon“…😂

Ever since becoming a GD fan first thing I used to do in the morning was check GDC/GDA (and again multiple times a day). For years I tried to help keep the site going updating the picture threads but right now I'm taking a complete break (more or less) from the internet plus it's been so quiet on here for a few years now. Some days I don't even check in at all anymore or on Instagram or my Tumblr

damn i have kept up with icp in a while. Good for them

Absolutely. Very deserved break. 🩷 Makes me happy to see how much it looks like they have enjoyed touring. ☺️

I think we have to be ready for a prolonged quiet period. They have been touring for 18 months after all the work around releasing Saviors, they deserve time off.

I know I have said this 326 times before, but I always look at the clock at 10:39. Every day. I then get 1,000 Hours stuck in my head

gee, thanks jkjk. I know i'll get buyers remorse after I buy them, but I kinda want them lol ughhghghghggh what do i dooooooooo

Do what makes you happy!😉

Okay... I am thinking about buying a box on the 27th when they restock again. Should I or should I not? I am so torn, cuz a lot of you are saying that they are a waste of money (and yeah, they are expensive), but the collector side of me is like "screw it, I'll buy it." Any advice ?

My girlfriend pointed out that Billie looks like Kim Jong-un on these things and I can't unsee it now. The Letterman one is funny and I'm impressed that whoever designed it knows the lore, but still, my money is VERY safe

I hate garbage pail kids and they're ugly lol but this is pretty funny and probably cool for people who grew up with the orginal cards. I would never buy them but hope I can see the rest of the designs. The Letterman one is amusing

Well, other addictions here. I ordered that damned coffee in spite of horrendous shipping costs…😆

As a European I have no idea what that is. So my money is safe….. 😅
