Photoshot of each page so far, obviously the print is to small to read. Trying to find way to enlarge, not having much success. otherwise may need to type article for posting on here, sorry. Great photos of band though. Takes me back, 1995, what a time sharing my life with Green Day. Billie Joe quotes: "We're not coming out with some tit-and-ass beerfest. We say obnoxious things and stuff, but I'd rather have my kid go to see Offspring than Poison." "We've worked our asses off to get to where we are now, to the point where I'm probably a little bit mentally disturbed." "We can't go, 'Duh, this sucks, the people paying to see me are the kind who used to beat me up in high school. I want my mummy.'"

You joke but this is a quote from 2000 (I have a scan of the interview but can't access it at the moment because I can't get on imgur):

The 99 Revolutions Tour shirt is the best one. The back: Also the commemorative 21st Century Breakdown Tour shirts for each show. And it's not a Green Day shirt, but a special mention for the Longshot tour shirt that I made

This is such a deep discount even before the release date I wonder who decided to do this and why. Is it because the preorders did well or not well enough? Feels like a gift to fans in light of the current economy with layoffs and exploding healthcare costs. Much appreciated whatever the reason. I was a buyer at $49 (or whatever the original price was) and this almost seems unfair, like clearance prices, but not complaining when the cost of everything else in life is so high. I’ll take the win 💚

I've just listened to the demos. Deadbeat Holiday, Castaway are the standouts. Misery has different lyrics and more raw sounding as is Jackass. Blood, Sex and Booze, Church on Sunday and Fashion Victim are similar to the final versions with few different details. Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix which is without drums and bass sounds better than the album version. I wish this was the album version. Waiting Otis Mix is cool and makes me think why Minority didn't get an Otis Mix. It would be lovely.

Walmart has it for 17 right now also

a bit ago i got my first green day cds: saviors, american idiot, 1039/sosh, nimrod, and dookie around june this year i thought of listening to all of them in full for once! i know streaming exists, but i like to listen to new albums on physical if i can. maybe tease with a few on streaming of course, just not the full thing since i have time, i'll finally be able to listen to them all especially without extra distractions around me with all the probably 100 apps on my computer compared to just a booklet, cover art, and back cover. and that also means i'll finally be able to listen to welcome to paradise without my friend bugging me all the time. unfortunately saviors will have to wait i only have so much time and stamina to just stare at billie's handwriting...

Absolutely loved this song from the first listen. The guitars are awesome!

i found hairspray billie in the mv really cute and for a whole i thought of drawing him. here's hairspray billie

Macy's Day Parade (Otis) is *much* more than what the Saviors acoustic tracks are tbh. This is like a full on remix and I love it Actually makes me so sad that they didn't remix the full album in the same style The fact that they didn't use the single version of Suffocate is so funny to me. It still ends abruptly because the rest of it is supposed to transition into Desensitized... now I'm even more confused as to why they put this one on here, because originally I thought it was included to keep the full end of the song intact for streaming.

Just listened to the demos: Most of them are final versions, just like the demos from American Idiot. Exception is Misery, which has different lyrics on verses, almost like placeholders for a final song. The demos sound more 90's Green Day, louder guitars and slightly fast tempos. Waiting otis mix is awesome and I wonder if all those guitars were recorded back then and discarded on the final mix Macy's Day Parade Otis Mix is like the acoustic songs from Saviors deluxe, they only removed bass and drums from the track Maria is the single version

CD Box Set price error? Amazon has it for $17. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTMXCCTM

i fear that this is true... my mom loves oasis, but i hate them so bad.

It was worrying at first but he went right to rehab and the band and their families kept us updated via social media quite a lot and everything was very positive all the way along. It was clear right away that he was getting help and everyone was rooting for him. And just a few months later he was back with GD playing shows doing much better. I also don't remember anyone judging him, he's always been open about his struggles with alcohol etc so it would be pretty silly to. Everyone was supportive

I think we were all very worried, I don’t remember much judgement. I personally worried it was the end of the band and am very glad it wasn’t.

Alright, alright, alright at Matthew would say. Billie Joe says to tell him when it's time.....and I'm telling ya right now, it's time! Time for an album 15 thread. Now that the guys have all that Saviors stuff out of their system, it's time to get back to that Father of All Trilogy vibe that we all love so much. But push it to the extreme this time. a massive, 30 disc set every month for 12 months - each packed with doowhoop, falsettos, lady cobras - but here's the twist! Every song will be brimming with features, swedish song writers, trap beats - and so much cut in the product it will sound like a horror flick. But for real, the biggest question for me at this moment is how the next album will be received. I know I'm gobbling up whatever these guys put out, but would Green Day put out a Father of All sounding record is that's where they are at again? A trilogy? Trying and failing is better than not trying. American Idiot was a huge swing and it could have flopped and turned them into the laughing stocks of Rock music But they tried something and it worked out. So I'm all for them trying out some different things. Who knows what Green Day will be going into the 2030s.

Maybe at a push include "Underdog" which was used for the National Geographic Underdog series, promoting specific animal species. Love this song.

Nimrod demo disc on the 25th anniversary sounded so good I think of it as Nimrod II. American idiot demos more like alternate universe american idiot album

With that price, I couldn't resist!! Just around 35 bucks including taxes and shipping... and I live in CHILE!! BEST PRICE EVER!!

My vinyl box set from the UK store shipped yesterday. 😁 Let’s see when it arrives here….

As a great man once sang, "life is too short to be normal"

That sounds good. Still... a stressful time. But good to know so many people care about him and helped him.❤️ And now back to the topic of this thread: it's not exactly a GD item I bought. But I've finally found a black blouse I like to go with the red tie from the anniversary box last year! 😃 I just don't know if I dare to wear this for work...?

This is the most singles Green Day have ever put out for an album, right? it gets tricky with the "promo singles" and "other charting songs" but gosh darn, no matter what you count or don't count - it's a lot. Dream, Brains, Dilemma, Bastard, Sox. Corvette Summer was a promo single. Smash it Like Belushi and Ballyhoo were the singles from the deluxe version. Suzie Chapstick feels like a single. 1981 and Goodnight Adeline charted. Breakdown had about 8 songs that charted some kind of way, but yeah. Saviors was the gift that kept on giving.

I joked to my niece what I wanted for Xmas was a private Green Day show and she got excited and said she wanted to go with me! She said two songs she really likes are American Idiot and Brainstew. It's alllll coming together...she'll be a fan in no time 🤣

Randomly found this article about one of Billie's bikes that's sold recently https://www.visordown.com/news/green-day-singer-billy-joe-armstrongs-t120r-sells-song

Easiest cop of my life

Hi GreenDay my name is Abbie. I’m 16, loud, messy, and burning with punk. My first Green Day concert lit a spark, the musical fanned it, and I even wrote a song inspired by “She’s A Rebel.” I’m the daughter of rage and love—my parents are messed up, they divorced when I was 4, my life’s messy, and I don’t bend to anyone.

Hey, welcome! Just fyi, we don’t think the band members visit the forum but know that Bill Schneider does from time to time. Enjoy. 😁

Absolutely, as that same great man has instructed us many a time on the road, "Let's go fuckin' crazy." 🤪

Wow, that’s convincing!!😅

definitely wear it to work! it would look awesome!!!

ooh nice!! i wore mine to school with a black shirt when we had a non-uniform day XDD you should!!:D it would look awesome! ✨🔥❤️

currently wearing an american idiot one XD istg tho literally no one in my school knows what Green Day are help guys ooh.. my faves?? idk, maybe my dookie one?? (thats the second one in ya comment) honestly i love them all XDD

Just a crazy post from someone who's crazy. We've had fav album, fav song, even fav live venue. But what's your fav Green Day Tee, that you just have to wear out and about, for all to see and wonder. Telling them that you just love the bestest and greatest punk rock band in the universe ever. And if you aint listened to them yet, well yer don't know what yer missin'. So, if yer not wearing a Green Day Tee today, well yer just not properly dressed. 🤪 Here's my top three.

Well I was 15 when I first got into Green Day and since I made it my occupation to get all of their albums and my family could not keep up with which ones I already had and which I didn't, they all took to getting me "similar bands" albums for every birthday, Christmas or special occasion. I could just imagine them walking into a record store and asking the staff for their recommendation of bands a 15 year old girl into Green Day might enjoy. This resulted in my getting a lot of Blink 182, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, and other bands I cannot remember, and me hating them all because I just felt so patronized I have since revisited a few of them and still don't like them (although I have really grown to appreciate MCR's Black Parade since my friend made me listen to it to get me to go with him to their show next year, but I am still firmly not into the rest of their stuff). At that time instead I turned to discovery older punk and older rock on my own, and I did become a huge fan of those. But I do wonder if the situation had been reversed, and my auntie had given me a The Who album for Christmas when I was 15 instead of Good Charlotte, if I'd be a huge fan of Good Charlotte right now Anyways, very verbose answer, sorry. I really like Radiohead, but I would not think they are at all similar to Green Day

Checked my account and looks like I got the $17 price! They charged $19 total for tax. What a steal!

Just ordered through Amazon. Used my Amazon Visa reward points so my price was basically $0

i cannot wait for the booklet to be dissected

Went ahead and ordered a copy so hopefully it stays at this price 😀 thanks for the heads up!!!

I’ve wondered where Jane street was too. I tried to find a Bay Area street with that name, but never found one. This makes sense!

That’s fair. I did take the insane decision to come over for it… if they do disappear as expected after this… could be one of very few shows this year so I took the jump! I am also excited to Good Charlotte live for the first time and cage the elephant were fab at Ohana. Also be good to see twenty one pilots as never gotten the hype myself so maybe now I will see!

I've compiled a bunch of clips to produce a "better" quality complete concert, also tried to combine clips for better audio so enjoy!! Manually made subtitles are available!

@GREEN DAY IS MY LIFEEE @sergiewoo You two seem very convinced!😂 I will think about it….

Awesome, I'm impressed.

I‘m really very happy to have found them. The Saviors tour was an amazing experience! And I love digging in their past, music, interviews, videos etc. As for the meltdown, I certainly wouldn’t have judged him. But I have an inclination to worry too much about a lot of things. And I know I would have worried so much for his well being and been afraid of the band not making it. Not getting new music any more, or silly interviews or whatever…. So I‘m grateful it all turned out well, and at least that dark time later brought us amazing songs like Forever Now and Still Breathing.

Blink 182 have been considering similar to GD if I'm correct ??? If so, I would add them to your list. Although, I used to like Blur back in '90s but wouldn't have put them in same category as GD. I have this strange reaction that every time I even see the name Oasis, I wanna throw up. 🤮

i know i said this in the random thoughts thread a while back but like, Green Day should pull a metallica and make every single concert in their archive available for streaming, downloading, hell id kill for live SBD All the Time on CD or vinyl

i have no idea if this counts... but i liked the play at the start, it's pretty funny

I had the honor of seeing this speech in person (my first green Day show!) and it felt so special. Not only was it the first show of the 99 Rev tour, it was right after Billie's stint in rehab and you could just feel all the love. He looked so touched that the fans waited for him and supported him during a rough time. I often think back to this moment when I'm feeling down.
