Can't believe I found one of these online over Christmas. It's one of the cool trilogy hoodies (couldn't afford one at the time)

Here's a really old photo you don't see around. It's from an Australian magazine from when Green Day appeared at the HMV Studios in Sydney on 8 February 1996. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTYK-fCDYq7/?igsh=MW84Yzh5eTVzcGwxYg== My daughter has painstakingly been scanning all this for me this last week and deserves a medal!

This one's not such a rare photo but kinda funny. A poster from AstroGirl (a teen entertainment magazine) from the American Idiot era. "Stargazing with Green Day" You might think I possessed this poster because my daughter wanted to be an astronaut but no, it was just part of the collection https://www.instagram.com/p/DTf0Ccagh_i/?igsh=czhiN2l0bWVoM2dl

A great misheard lyric courtesy of my sister and nephew: "Coffee and cyanide for llamas in disgrace"!🤣 She asked me one day, what did the llamas ever do to Billie? I was like what?! She then explained how they had misheard the lyrics in 1981 and had to Google them. I now sing llamas instead of lovers because once you hear it, you can't unhear it! You're all welcome!😉😅

What an amazing question, but so so difficult to answer. There's so many times to choose from, this band's live shows and Billie Joe's songwriting has been so consistent and awesome over past 30+ years. First has to be when I fell in love with GD through Kerplunk and seeing them live for first time at Wigan in Dec' '91. Of the many live shows I've been to, two I'll never forget, 21st Century Breakdown tour at Wembley Stadium and AI tour at Milton Keynes. 2=

Most special thing was them picking a disabled girl to play Knowledge and she rocked it playing the guitar with Billie's help and got to keep the guitar, very awesome Craziest was everything at Foxboro Hot Tubs lol. And strictly at GD my sister passing out in the crazy crowd at Shepherds Bush and getting pulled out but being back dancing to King for a Day 10 minutes later

Absolutely. So grateful to them both. Those photos, a snapshot in time, for us all to relive so many treasured memories with GD. ❤️

Another misheard lyric courtesy of my dad. He thought the 'woahhh-oh Christian's Inferno' during the chorus was 'woahhh-oh big shit inferno'. The worst thing is I can hear it now 😂

@Dingle I have such envy for those who saw them anywhere during AI…but Milton Keynes… fabulous, lucky you. Favourite era, got to be 21CBD (anyone who visits the fangirl thread will know I just adore that era when Billie wore the stiped pants 🔥🔥🔥) and AI which I can’t choose one over the other. Going with Saviors too as it’s been a great tour , Billie is aging better than fine wine and it’s been great to see them all looking well and loving the tour.

Rather lose sleep over a thought like that than something negative. 😄 My first place would also be the 21st CB Billie, as in the 21st CB video! Second place would be the classical American Idiot Billie; the level of iconicness is umatched. Third place for me would be the trilogy Billie, mostly because "¡Tre!" Has been my favorite album for years and I really enjoy the trilogy-aesthetic. :'D

My last item must have been the Saviors (Edition de luxe) colored vinyl, what a beauty it is! 🥰

My obsession is still very much here!😆 It’s a bit different when live shows are concerned. I love live music and go to shows of many bands (mostly punk, also „smaller“ bands). But when listening to music at home I always return to GD very quickly. It’s a kind of addiction… And the fandom‘s enthusiasm fuels that addiction (looking at you @Dingle 😉). But I love that and would never want to change it. It makes me happy.😊

i lost too much sleep debating my top three Billie years 😅 i think i finally came down to 1st place 2009 21st CB tour, 2nd 1993 Billie specifically recording dookie with the longer hair and then 3rd 2013 right after rehab gives me dad/uncle vibes lol id love to hear yours!

Absolutely, they are amazing and add so much to the album. They also got beautiful sites in the fanzine. :D

Nice one, it sure is. I didn't think you could add to Saviors original release it was so good, but Imho the de luxe version with those additional tracks is awesome. And those three new songs, Underdog, Ballyhoo and Smash it Like Belushi, holy shit, they blow me away, I can't stop playing them.

Thank you @solongfromthestars for helping @Rumpelstiltskin2000 give us so many new/old photos! ❤️

This is really extremely cool!😍

That's the thing you see. This is what happened to me 30 years ago. Once the GD sound touches you, it surrounds you, enters you and flows through your veins. Other bands just can't come close. There's no escape, resistance is futile. It's a commitment for life 'till the end of time. You so lucky. Just enjoy. And if I may say, I'm so happy for you and proud of you.

So, how rich are the GD band members, and how do they fair with the wealthiest musicians of the 1990's. According to the enclosed article , Billie Joe lies 15th out of 23 with a net worth of $75m (£55m), Tre $55m (£41m), and Mike $60m (£44m). https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/the-wealthiest-musicians-of-the-1990s-ranked/ss-AA1TJAiX?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=EDGEDB&cvid=696125c871e748dd8f2c1991efefaee8&ei=46#image=9

there's way too many misheard lyrics i hear with that exact line 🫠 "christian just farted now"...

Tumblr is also a good call for image hosting. It's free and you can post privately if you don't want to post publicly. Unfortunately I don't think Imgur will be unblocked in the UK any time soon.

I use filegarden.com. Works fine. I think @sergiewoo recommended that.

I was there

Especially Ballyhoo is sooo good! Should have been on the actual album!

And as for posting nice IG stuff, I like this video VERY much too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTilmauDVDs/?igsh=bnkzYW1lcnlvdGh2

Greendayitalianrageandlove have posted a „dancing Billie“ on IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTiPgnPjEX5/?igsh=MXFpY3EyM2VsZjlwcA== He‘s so cute!🥰

Not this shit again..

my green day dreams are always so vaguely green day related but whatever. skip to paragraph 3 if you just want the green day bit today i had a dream where i got on a game with it's servers full, supposedly for an event. one of my school friends just so happened to be there and all of a sudden we we're actually in the game. with our real bodies... anyways the event i believe started 5 minutes after i joined. soon enough the place went dark, a lot of places were removed or extending for extra space and there were now rows of shelves. then there were big cards all over the new seats and the ground and stuff, and we had to collect the best ones for the end of the event. anyone in a pair had to whisper to each other n stay silent. HOWEVER. eventually, we went through the shelves. look who's there? billie joe armstrong. just picking something out on the shelves. presumably '97 billie, except he had bright blue (not teal) (not aqua) (not blurple) hair, and the same colored as his jacket. and i was like what the flip thats billie joe armstrong... he was on his own too. just doing something by the shelves. i dont know what. so we pass by not the be weird and get out of the shelves and continue the event. 5 minutes we go into a different row of shelf and he's there. again. just doing something. then i notice how fucking short he is and is barely taller than me in the slightest and im like "wow he's pretty short" to my pair. n we try not to make him hear cuz we're right behind him (thank fuck he didnt). then we leave the shelves again cuz we're just scared ... so we continue and then we run into him AGAIN. outsidw the shelves this time and its like "fuck this shit" and we pass by again. and he just so happens to not be looking at the insides of the shelves this time and he. he like. turns to face our direction and his eyes just fucking gone it was just this big void of black and. lets just say this was my reaction good thing he was gonna do something else cuz. what the flip. anyways dream ended at some point. im scared

there really is something about green day... my friend hardly listens to anything else and says (almost) everything that isnt green day sucks. harsh but damn, i can't blame him. thanks not into metalcore but i need recs first to get into it. i wouldnt mind the genre! and thanks again! agreed! and of course, we all love @Dingle for being cool. thanks (again) ❤️

Yeah, near the beginning, I strictly listened to Green Day because I was OBSESSED with them when I first heard them. They opened doors to so many more bands to be though. So nowadays I listen to soooo many bands. I am listening to a lot of Silverstein, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, and As I Lay Dying atm. If anyone else is into metalcore on here, please let me know because as far as I know, I am like the only one Btw, great picks, @sergiewoo.

So… hey fellas my tickets come with a meet and greet with THEBAND. I plan on wearing that longshot shirt with Lenny on it 😛 hope I amuse Billie with that ahhhhHH

A place for your collection. To start this off, here is mine as of 2026: https://imgur.com/a/LpYGKGk My CDs. :3 https://imgur.com/a/QzbRKCH The corner for vinyls and limited editions. https://imgur.com/a/IPLJpHW My poster that I got from the listening event for saviors. ^^ https://imgur.com/a/qnBHt7w Shirt that I won at the listening event by being fastest in a quiz. :3

You are right. I was lucky enough to see the Coverups in London in Feb 2024 and it really is quite a different Billie. He’s still amazing but it felt more personal and low key. A great experience.

Sounds really cool, sadly Imgur is blocked in UK. Thanks away. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/41592665292443-Imgur-access-in-the-United-Kingdom

I will certainly try !😃

i actually remember seeing a video of that disabled girl. i think it was very wholesome!!

i had another somewhat green day related dream 2 days ago... i was gonna mention it yesterday but i forgot. unfortunately i'd only remembered the end of it as i was just about to wake up. im pretty sure green day appeared somewhere else in the dream but i remember none of it. here we go.. since i was starting to become aware of my surroundings, the setting was my room and... well... i was in bed. while i was laying there i saw this big, floating radio over the foot of my bed and i was like. "huh"... so then i sat up and then the entire radio (except the base of it) just like. slid off and there it was. 2016 green day sitting on there with their legs curled up to their chests staring at me. and lets just say this was BOTH of our reactions (the seal is back (and hes talking)). anyways dream ended before either of us could go "yo what the hell" and then i woke up in a cold sweat.

nice! lmk what you think!

OMG THANK YOU I thought I was the only one!! I've listened to Bad Omens and liked them, but I have never heard of From Ashes to New. I'll check them out.

YouTube blocks Nirvana, Green Day, Adele and more amidst U.S. licensing dispute A wide variety of music has been impacted by the block, from Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," "Problem" by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea, and Green Day's "American Idiot", to iconic tunes such as R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan. Official videos aren't the only ones affected either. All videos which use SESAC-licensed audio are no longer accessible, taking out fan-edited music videos alongside ones from the artists themselves. Covers are being blocked as well, so you won't even be able to enjoy KIDZ BOP's rendition of "Wake Me Up When September Ends." https://mashable.com/article/youtube-music-blocked-green-day-nirvana-sesac

Same here metal/metalcore was my 2nd most listened to genre! You should check out bad omens or From ashes to new, both excellent

93.1 in Chicago is the goat for playing the song Warning on the radio right now

Got my first ever tattoo today Its a reimagination of green day's song "disappearing boy"

I’ve always heard ‘I blame the fool whose stable smells so bad’ in Words I Might Have Ate and I realised I don’t even know what the real lyric is. It’s ‘I blame the fool whose stable soul’s gone bad.’ Kind of disappointed it's not as far off as I thought.

My favorite miss heard lyric is from Nuclear Family, where instead of hearing "I just want some action so give me my turn" I hear "I just want some action so give me Mike Dirnt"

Me proposing to my GF when Billie started Bobby sox, I was shitting my pants
