Well, this is cool. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244804661/abba-green-day-national-recording-registry

A wonderfully awkward little interview:

1981 does have more streams that the other non-singles though, probably just because it's the first non-single you hear on the album and maybe the fact that it was the first song we heard for the album (live) You can look for the streams each Green Day song and album is getting here Songs - https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY_songs.html Albums - https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY_albums.html There's a lot of interesting things to take from these figures. Saviors (the album) is getting 296k daily streams now, less daily streams than AI/Dookie/Nimrod/21CB/Insomniac but still much more than the last few studio albums, though in the coming months/years, that figure will continue to fall. I think Saviors will continue to perform better than FOAM and the trilogy in terms of streaming however. Revolution Radio has a lot of total streams, being their 5th most streamed studio album, but is gaining much less streams than all their studio albums from 1994-2009. Father of All has more streams than Dos & Tré but less than Uno. I wouldn't be surprised if Dos starts gaining streams at a faster rate than FOAM at some point. Stray Heart is gaining daily streams faster than any other trilogy song, even more than Oh Love which is the hit of that era and has the most total streams. Considering Oh Love can be heard on both Uno and God's Favorite Band, this is surprising. Last Night on Earth is gaining a lot of streams, currently no. 12 in terms of daily streams, even though it was never released as a single.

Full show: From the description: Here is the first of many rare and previously uncirculated Green Day tapes from Arica Pelino's archive. Huge thanks to Arica for bringing them over and handing them off to me last month. I am going to let Arica introduce this one: "this show has only been released on audio format prior to this. This video is being released in its entirety for the first time and includes RARE after-show footage with: Lint/Tim Armstrong Marshall Stax (on stage) Damon O'Manic Joel Wing Kaz Hope Anna Armstrong Filmed by: Arica Pelino Opening Bands: Blatz, Jack Acid, Alter Ego, Grimple" Transfer by: Shayne Stacy Equipment used: Panasonic AG-1980 — Datavideo TBC1000 – Tevion USB Adapter — Virtualdub Enhanced in Adobe Premiere Elements/Neat Video (lighting/denoise)

That was my first show 21st Century Breakdown Tour truly was magical.

Shame about Billie! But the other two would work well on either end of a shelf/display as a pair. The one time I bought an album bundle was to get those candles and once I had them I just had to make a Green Day shrine . They're my favourite piece of GD merch I never spent a lot on merch just got all albums on CD and bought or (more often) got gifted some random things over the years

I think a good idea for the Bobby Sox one would be to have, rather than Bobby Sox on the back, to have Girlfriend Boyfriend Best friend with a check box next to each one. I could see them being worn at Pride Parades.

Alternative Airplay- 3, up from 5 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- stays at 2 Also, I noticed a couple weeks ago it hit #50 for hot rock and alternative songs. Edit: Ope, just noticed it's now #47 for Hot Rock and Alternative Songs.

I liked this one.

The Grammys are posting quite a lot about Green Day recently. Hopefully that's a good sign

I've started scheduling stories on the GDA Instagram that are throwbacks to gigs played on that day however many years ago. If I'm going to all that effort, I might as well post this stuff here as well. However! I'm only focusing on gigs (not album releases or anything) and I'm very likely to forget to post here anyway, so if you remember anything that happened on a certain day years ago (or if you feel like copy/pasting from the GDA Instagram), please contribute! Even stuff like music video releases and chart positions on certain days would be interesting to look back on. So, on this day (16 April) 19 years ago (2005), Green Day played in Orlando, FL. 11 years ago (2013), they played the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. And 9 years ago (2015), they played the House of Blues in Cleveland before their Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Yes, I did get the year wrong on Instagram. Enjoy looking back at what our favourite band have been up to!

They were dying until Billie saved it with the AI comment 😂

I'm still listening to it once or twice a day, but I know I'm a freak of nature!

The performance of Whatsername at this show was beautiful so I took some screenshots Video below

I know! I giggled when it said Smashing Pumpkins were supporting because they used to talk tons of shit about them in the 90s lmao. I recently listened to a folder of random old audio interviews I found and they made negative comments about them in three different ones including one with Ben Weasel where he and GD agreed on them as a band to be eliminated from existence. They thought they were boring and pretentious. But to be fair they did used to talk shit about virtually every band out there that wasn't a small/unknown one from 1990s to early 2000s. Edit: Nice discussion from a 1996 interview where they praise the music but instead talk shit about them as people This interview also contains this gem from Billie on the subject of GD not being grunge/shoegazers (not about Pumpkins but hilarious) Half the interview is them shit talking various acts lol https://punkrocker.org.uk/punkinterviews/greenday.html

Made these for a few fellow GDCers.

Agreed, my first GD show was 21st CB tour in 2009, and saw them again the next summer at Wembley. Amazing setlists and performances! I think the absolute peak has to be them playing one of those epic long arena shows in London, then driving across town and playing a 2 hour Foxboro Hot Tubs show at 1am the same night (which I was lucky enough to see, total trip seeing GD for the first time one week and then that the next and I will never get over it lol). Great sense of community thanks to GDC too talking about it all on here and meeting people at the shows. Favourite era.

Some pics that recently emerged from the very long queue on the GDA Tumblr (Kesselhaus, Berlin, 7 May 2009) (Longshot tour) (Also Longshot tour) (Paris, France, 26 August 2012) (Brooklyn, NY, 7 April 2013) (San Francisco, CA, 1 November 2011) (Kerrang, 2012) (Recording the trilogy) (Chula Vista, 2010) (Osaka, Japan, 19 August 2012)

Wonder how it’ll stack up against their 2012 Echoplex show, that one was pretty special.

Billboard update Alternative Airplay- 2, up from 3 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- 1, up from 2

The second night at MSG was my first show! So cool how many lifelong fans came out of those shows.

I sent all the prints out today so they should start arriving this week in the UK and later in the month overseas. Do let me know when they arrive!

The Devil loves Green Day, it seems.

Some screenshots of Billie (Perry!)

30 years ago "Longview" was at #13 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks

Yes it is . One of the Rev's

The sad thing is when I googled Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins the only thing that came up the other way was Billy Corgan giving them a lot of praise in the 00s. Hopefully the band doesn't know lol. But I guess they were a lot younger then and they're all old enough to know that opinions and attitudes change.

I'm still waiting for an interviewer to ask them about Saviors starting life as 1972.

Funny that the song was released in December and now it gets its commercial recognition 😅

I really like that shirt, but I can't justify $36

Agreed. Absolutely the best live era

Best Green Day live era ever….2 encores on most nights 33-34 songs…saw them in MSG on the breakdown tour they played Disappearing Boy, Drama Queen (then unreleased) and would just ask fans what they wanted to hear. Peak GD that album tour.

This is really amazing. For a band that always wanted to have a legacy and leave something important behind yet were told you couldn't get big making their kind of music, it's a tremendous achievement. Congrats to our boys

Finally got my hands on a unicorn plush off vinted they’ve been out of stock for like forever so pretty pleased. Will sit with my bunny 😂

I wonder how God feels about that. They are his favorite band after all.

Green Day's YouTube subscribers have reached 6.66M 😈

At first I really liked it, but now I LOVE IT. One of the best song of the album and the more I listen to it the more I think it would have worked very well as track #1.

Still got Saviors on repeat I love it so much.

There is just something about this song that draws me in. From the moment we heard the poor recording in Canada (Montreal I think) the melody was stuck in my head. I think it might be my favourite, though not the one I think is the best song on the album, if that makes sense

Mine too, and I think I’m still getting over it.

Not sure why this popped up now but glowing review of hall of fame performance. https://www.themusicman.uk/green-day-basket-case/

Anyone else watch their 1997 Fillmore performance in honour of this? Good shit
