Basket Case has been certified triple platinum in the UK https://www.facebook.com/share/1A2pD1CA1q/

This thread has been much too quiet! I‘m watching the following on repeat at the moment: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRbXbj5DfP_/?igsh=MTJrc2V4YWIzcnd2Zw== 😍😍😍

I don’t know if anyone can understand that but it just fascinates me to see so much raw emotion expressed on stage. It’s awesome…

Brutal Love live is the best

They should get media un-training and just start being wildly chaotic every interview.

I think awkward humour is just their thing and always has been lol If it's specifically about that recent interview I think the most awkward thing was the interviewer constantly complimenting them and saying how amazing they are, along with the film promotion stuff it just wasn't the most natural conversation. But in general they've always used awkward humour. They don't need to be fake and press trained

You were at that show?😯 I‘m just a little bit envious….

I saw that the other day. I was there at that show and don't remember the scream at the end!

The last thing I bought was the Saviors Limited Edition Zentrope Picture Disc.

When it's Thanksgiving "Today's the Macy's Day Parade...."

Speaking of chaotic I enjoyed Billie's teeth and Mike's moustache here

At some point in the early 00s I got a bootlegged set, probably from the P2P file sharing platforms everyone used back then. The show was small if I recall - probably from the early 90s pre-Dookie. During a lull in the show when they're doing a bit of audience chat, the quiet murmuring is interrupted by a man in the crowd very loudly shouting "YOU CARPET BASTARD," to which Mike replies - and I'm paraphrasing here - "Me? I've got nothing to do with carpets. I play music" My friend at the time and I used to regularly call each other carpet bastards as a result and every now and then it'll pop into my head. Carpet bastard. That bootleg was lost and I've never heard it since. I wonder what carpet bastard guy is doing nowadays? I'm probably the only person on the planet who regularly thinks about that particular moment in time, and I wonder whether he's aware his insult that day lives rent free in my head?

Agreed, and the whole k pop thing was deliberately awkward too. I think they just don’t buy in to all the nonsense at award shows etc.

In my opinion it’s allowed to be silly at any age. And why should they care. Not doing the expected / appropriate things is punk… I loved this so much:

Do you know that feeling when you wake up and have the urgent need to listen to certain songs? It’s RevRad day today here!🥰 Besides I remembered that about this time two years ago I bought the tickets for the GD Berlin show of 2024. (Because I wanted to see the opening band, shame on me…😅) How could I know then what a fascinating journey would begin this way? Bit sentimental today, sorry… Have a nice Sunday, all of you!

It was. The shows had been rescheduled which is when we were able to get tickets

Yes, that Holiday performance is great! The show must have been shortly after rehab, right? On YouTube I‘ve just found the full performance of Brutal Love 😃:

It was the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia in 2013. I remember because of the shirt! I've only seen Billie wearing it once and I think it's because the sleeves kept getting in the way of him playing guitar and he had to keep pushing them back up. Crazy the things you remember I made a post about it a little while back if anyone is interested https://www.instagram.com/p/DMVnKa1iKiY/?igsh=MTNoa3plemt5aXN5NA== This was one of my favourite parts - Billie Joe did not forget the words to Holiday tonight

Same, I think that's why we're all here

Thanks for sharing this, the scream at the end gave me goosebumps 🥹 What show was this? And I'm a bit jealous to be honest! I really wish I had seen Brutal Love played live I totally understand it!

System of a Down are one of my favorite bands, which is.....frustrating. lol.

The documentary series is really cool. The songs totally fits the intro. And very happy that you hear quite a bit of it in every episode.

Redundant and Prosthetic Head both got “wide mixes” back in the day and it always puzzled me. Why in 1997 would you create a mix specifically dedicated to a wide soundstage mix? Car stereos. Mid-late ‘90’s is when CD players in cars started to become prevalent and unlike most hi-fi setups or even computer speakers, car stereos are wide by their very nature because of the speaker’s position in the doors. Makes sense to experiment with mixing towards that at the time.

I think that's the best thing because unless you happened to have seen the film and remember it really well you'd have no clue so like 99% of the audience there probably had no idea . They thrive on awkwardness lol I wish I could find the clip (I think it was only on Instagram) but one of my favourite recent awkward humour moments was in one of the red carpet interviews last year when the interviewer asked Billie if he had any advice for someone looking for love and he immediately started singing his song from when he was 5 years old "Look For Love" and then told people to google the song lmao

I think they have likely had some media training, no record label would have let them get this far without it. Whether they pay a lot of attention to it, that’s different. I think they are just themselves and relish the weird interviews. Imagine how odd it would be if they suddenly became super slick spewing sound bites….yeuch!

I've never had an issue with their interviews, but I do understand where the comment is coming from. I hope they never get any media training though, keeps it more genuine, even if a lot of the time they are just joking around to get out of giving a serious answer to a question. This was gold! I choose to believe Mike and/or Tre wrote that and Billie was reading it for the first time I especially love the "you know"

i like to think that billie used to follow the hanky code. like he is openly admitting to being a bottom its a little funny to think of. but it's a dotted bandana... and he stopped using putting it in his pocket a while ago anyways, i doubt it actually is for that purpose

Just now getting around to listening to all the new stuff (I'm a patient fan, I like to take my time). I thought it was interesting that more of the demos were written in first person. I always wondered if was referring to the band itself. It just seemed like such a pointed line to write at that point in their career. They were in such a vice at the time. The subgenre you helped pioneer is still popular but you need to evolve as artists and if you go back and make Dookie Pt. II it might be well received but it's an implicit admission that 'yep, these are all the tricks we have in the bag'. Especially after making such a musically expansive record as Nimrod. Warning didn't set the world on fire but they'd be damned if they'd play to type and do what's been done. That's why they've had staying power in the long term.

Brutal Love live is amazing 😍 I'm so glad I got to experience that at my very first GD show! Billie looks like an escaped convict in that shirt 😂

I am just now hearing the insane amount of handclaps on Father of All 🤣 All the singles and Graffitia are jam packed with non-stop clapping. It's the perfect crime.

yeah thats fair enough... they used to be my favourite. until daron started being an asshole on instagram .

doing the inspect element equivalent to making silly edits of songs to some setlists makes me wonder how many great setlists bootleggers are truly gatekeeping from the general public (full Prauge 96, Bottom of the Hill 99, the show where American Idiot and JOS debuted, etc etc)

surprisingly i probably don't know even more than 5. the only ones i can recall are longview, king for a day, and jaded, despite the fact that i fixate on one of their songs plenty of times and long enough time to know the lyrics to it. maybe it could be because i'm a fairly fresh green days fan, but when i first got into soad, i pretty much knew their entire discography in less than a year. oh well!

This is genius! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Sometimes I type Green Day into the spotify search and scroll through to find stuff like this. Lots of covers, joke songs and name drops if you dig in. I would like to find songs the guys have written for other artists or collaborated with but there aren't that many.

This is SO funny!😆 I know the German band but I didn’t know that song. Thanks for sharing!

The next albums will probably be out in Late March / Early April of 2027. I guess whenever the first rumblings start, either by illicit l-e-a-k-s or the band themselves mentioning something. Mike might say "we're firing on all cylinders". Billie would say "ya know, writing, ya know ya know ya know ya know" and tre would say "Sometimes ninja's do the doo whop in the chocolate rain. Sometimes they do it at the make out party"

When is the right time for a new album speculation thread?

imo rather than only releasing Prosthetic Head in Germany and making Nice Guys its own single for some unknown reason, they should have just made Prosthetic Head and Nice Guys 1 combined single with like, 1 or 2 studio outtakes (Full band Alison and DUI?)

Just found this little gem where they sing about Billie: Das Lumpenpack - WZF?! (English Translation) Lyrics [Verse 1: Max & Jonas] Sorry for disturbing, you slept very long And you said yourself: "Wake me up when September ends" There is an impression on your cheek, your eyes are tired While you are tired and smiling, you ask "What happened in twenty-twenty? Billie, sit down at first, here's a very strong coffee You must have been there to understand everything The question is not, what happened, just: "Where do I start? And then we brought him up to datе [Chorus: Jonas, Jonas & Max] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What thе fuck?

Green day IG post: this one on repeat tomorrow (Macys Day Parade) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRhzaWNDxDJ/?igsh=MXF3MjBkMGZlaTZtag== 10 minutes later.. black friday sale on the GD store Oh the irony..

Oh!!! Thanks for clarifying! I did not get the reference at all. That's hilarious though

It's from the film Boogie Nights when Mark Wahlberg's character accepts an award for being a pornstar

Maybe this is unpopular, but I like 21st Century Breakdown more than American Idiot.

It was a bonus clip from the Broadway Idiot DVD

I know exactly the clip @Cris. is talking about, it lives in my mind too, I love it! Thanks both for clarifying.

I don’t know… I really love Ballyhoo, Belushi and Underdog. So for me the deluxe was worth it. As for the live show I so much hope for a Saviors live album plus DVD! Maybe for Christmas…?

I wanna play. in an ideal universe where time, stamina and pleasing casual listeners are not constraints, and cows are a perfect sphere (physics book joke): 1. 1000 Hours (because this is how long the show is gonna be, it's a fitting song to open with ) 2. Going to Pasalacqua 3. Paper Lanterns 4. 2000 Light Years Away 5. 80 6. Who Wrote the Holden Caulfield? 7. Burnout 8. She 9. F.O.D. 10. Armatage Shanks 11. Brat 12. 86 13. No Pride 14. Panic Song 15.
