Garbage opinion, both of those songs are nice.

Really hope they keep playing Fancy Sauce and hopefully add it officially to the setlist. Billie gets so into it!

Six years ago today (24 April 2018), The Longshot played The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa. 13 years ago (24 April 2011), the American Idiot musical ended its run on Broadway and Green Day played after the final performance. Some people have probably already read my recap on my personal blog, but I've just transferred it to GDA if you haven't read it yet. More photos: 22 years ago (24 April 2002), Green Day played in Inglewood, CA on the Pop Disaster Tour. 23 years ago (24 April 2001), they appeared on Musique Plus in Montreal to talk about Waiting. And 31 years ago (24 April 1993), Green Day played the Revolver Club in Madrid.

Billboard update Alternative Airplay- stays at 2 Mainstream Rock Airplay- 1, up from 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- stays at 1 Back on Hot Rock and Alternative chart at 45, new peak

I’m missing Suzie Chapsticks that should be a staple

Another pretty special one today. 14 years ago (22 April 2010), American Idiot opened on Broadway. Fun fact: this photo is of the action that inspired the name "Fuck Time." “One of the actors from the American Idiot musical, Theo Stockman, called himself the ‘King of Fuck.' Before every performance the cast got into a circle and shouted: 'One, two, three, it’s fuck time!’ So I named a song after it. We played it as the Foxboro Hot Tubs at Don Hill’s and the song should have stayed there... but then we realised we shouldn’t give It’s Fuck Time away to our alter-ego, but use it for Green Day!” – Billie Joe More photos from the opening night:

Yeah this looks like what could possibly be their tour setlist this summer, dookie, some saviors, ai I could imagine they could switch some songs from show to show, and according to setlistfm it was a 2h10min show, so still 10minutes they could play longer for the european festivals Please keep fancy sauce as closing song And i know dookie and ai in full is epic, but i hope the next tour will have some more love for songs they rarely play live (trilogy songs pleeeeease)

On this day 8 years ago (23 April 2016), Green Day and Joan Jett performed at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Ordinary World. More photos: 14 years ago (23 April 2010), the Foxboro Hot Tubs played at Don Hill's in NYC. I was also looking at some of those setlists the other day and laughed at them playing Fuck Time eight times at the Bowery Electric, but I'd forgotten they outdid that at Don Hill's with nine Fuck Times. More photos: 19 years ago (23 April 2005), Green Day played the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. More photos:

It's weird not seeing Billie in skinny pants 🤯

Fancy Sauce is the best closer song they ever got. Period

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C57rYVXuZIq/?igsh=M2x2bHN5bXo1dWpi They played Fancy Sauce after Minority!

Pretty good indication of what we can expect to see on the tour. Miss the Saviors deep tracks already

From reddit Dookie Five songs from Saviors AI

Special one today. 9 years ago, Green Day were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They also played the LA Sports Arena 11 years ago today. The 99 Revolutions Tour was 11 years ago? WHAT?! HELP. 19 years ago, they played the USF Sun Dome in Tampa on the American Idiot Tour. There was a review up at some point, but the links are dead, so all we've got is "Billie Joe Armstrong asserts his personality while performing with Green Day on Monday night before a sold-out crowd." 30 years ago, Green Day played the Satyricon club in Portland.

The venue posted about the 2012 show (and this one) https://www.instagram.com/p/C536D2LP1kb/?igsh=MWhuM2YyY2RjcnNmdg== In 2012 I remember staying up all night waiting for tweets that a GDCer was posting for us from the venue!

That is great. I looked up the setlists of the very Fuck Time heavy New York FBHT shows recently and they're the funniest setlists I've ever seen

It’d be a disservice to humanity to not play Coma City on the summer tour.

I put this in random thoughts earlier today forgetting this thread existed but on this day in 2018 The Longshot released their album Love is for Losers This one is from the week ending 14 April 2001 but Green Day were on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks at #26 with "Waiting"

I was drawn to this picture too. I always love black and white shots of him.

On this day 34 years ago Green Day recorded the Slappy EP at the Art of Ears Studio https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRwboFgQ8G/?igsh=YjZ6YWJ6dGU5aDhz

Happy to see Fancy Sauce was played. Really hope they keep this song for the big tour. I read comments pointing out that Billie was motioning for Tre to repeat the last part of the song, he seems to love playing it too. Or maybe he just was just not ready to stop playing in general just yet…either way I love his passion 💕 my wishlist for Saviors songs for the tour (limiting myself to 5 but would be happy for more): Dilemma, Fancy Sauce, 1981, Suzie Chapsticks and Goodnight Adeline

Even more photos, this time from Greg Schneider

Drinks menu and a couple of other pics from the Echoplex setting up for last night

T'was a joke. Trust me I remember that cursed collab they did in 2012:

I love Letterbomb live. Billie sounds so good tonight!

Part of me doubts Bobby Sox will stay in the main tour lineup, at least not every night, because it seems like an awfully good way for Billie to mess up his voice.

Yeah those are the ones we're gonna see get permanent spots on the setlists, for sure. They rounded it down to those. Plus Fancy Sauce maybe as the closer. Not that I hate those tracks..... but yeah I'm definitely also gonna miss Suzie Chapstick and Coma City. Hopefully they rotate them often. 🙂🤔 But that's already 34 songs, plus 2 or 3 more surprise tracks. I don't expect them chug out the entire Saviors album with Dookie and AI haha. The days of the 43 song sets are in the past I'm afraid. Especially not during a co-headliner tour.

From Tre's Instagram story and Alice Baxley posted this of all their gear covered in Green Day stickers

Last time they played in Tiki Bar, they were hilariously drunk and performed probably sloppiest and slowest Jesus of Suburbia ever. Whole Foxboro + Green Day set was the most beautiful trainwreck I have ever seen. This time around it's probably gonna be more chill, but I find it awesome how they have a such history with Tiki Bar. Performing 16-17 new Trilogy tracks as Green Day out of nowhere in 2011 and then 2019 set as The Coverups, which changed to Foxboro + Green Day. Oh, it was also Tre's birthday. Wonder will he be there this time around? Anyways, that beautiful trainwreck of a set.

This is very random so belongs here I guess. Everton F.C. manager Sean Dyche talking about being almost bullied to see Green Day by former football player Stuart Pearce. He loved it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Ge7Dco_M1/?igsh=MTVsMmt4MzUwd2lncw==

Green Day should form a secret band and keep it secret. Start a new band with no promo whatsoever and keep a tight lid on it, playing little hope in the walls. Heck, maybe they are doing that and have kept it hush hush.

Some cool videos and pics https://www.instagram.com/p/C6BgoWptqC8/

This one? I so nearly put that one in because it's lovely of Billie and Tre but Mike's looking away at something else

As requested by @GreenDayJunkie86here's some pics I've picked out from the show at the Echoplex. I think this is a really nice action shot of Kevin and theres something about this pic of Billie I like (can't put my finger on it but I think it's cool) Billie making faces Smiley action Billie and this one looks like Jason is sticking a long tongue out It's a cool pic Are there some others you'd like me to add @GreenDayJunkie86? If you like you can click on the images you like and say "copy" and then you can paste the link into the thread There were so many cool pics I couldn't decide

It's still one of the best things Billie has ever done. When you hear songs all the time you're not necessarily listening to the lyrics, but every time I actually pay attention to "I searched the winter for the bride of Frankenstein" it hits me in the gut. The whole album is just SO GOOD, but that lyric is one of the most poignant and beautiful portrayals, ever, of two people who can't be together. I'm so glad I got it tattooed.

Rare full recording from 2001 of The Frustrators (Mike’s side project) from Arica’s birthday party: Video post for Friday, April 19- link below Frustrators- The Minnow, Alameda Ca 9/22/01 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape w/ Green Day's Mike Dirnt It's Friday- video time! As promised, here is 1 this weekend from Arica Pelino's magic suitcase. Like I said last week, I wish I could have hung out with Arica and attended her birthday show. What a lineup. Enemies/Frustrators/Dickies. For those unaware of The Frustrators, they were a band in the early 2000's with Mike Dirnt (from Green Day), Jason Chandler (Plus Ones), Terry Linehan and Art Tedeschi. They put out an album and 2 EPs on Adeline Records. There's not much available in terms of live footage from this band- some interviews and a short/likely incomplete 12min video. This seems to be the only full length show out there.

No Suzie Chapstick is disappointing. I love that song.

I think the real sign that Saviors is a great album is it has been out for 3 months and everyone still has different favorites and least favorites. Really has something for everyone on it. The last time I remember something like this was 21CB. Every album from that seems to have a majority consensus on favorites.
