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== 😍😍😍

Wow, has to be the most intense performance of it I've seen

Alice Baxley posted this new pic on her Instagram story (looks to be from when they filmed the Bobby Sox video)

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

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

I do think its Billie i was just being funny haha. Wow, I was hesitant about posting the because i thought it was cheesy but it started a whole speculation

When you are bothered again and again by those Reddit folks spelling Billie‘s name Billy!😡

@Rumpelstiltskin2000 interesting about his shirt, I liked it even though I agree with @The Grohl about it looking like a convict’s, thought it suited him. So many emotional things around these shows but I remember the Holiday lyric fail 😂😂

I know right I guess Tre decided to try out the prehistoric version of drums

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

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.

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...."

As a young teen in early '90 as well as being blown away by GD's music, I knew the lyrics of all songs from 1000 hours ep to Dookie. They where part of my life and I could relate to and live by them every day, being a part of me for ever in my heart. Now learning alternative lyrics from Basket Case from Dookie 30th, the bestest of box sets imho. demos rule, Awesome. https://genius.com/Green-day-basket-case-4-track-demo-lyrics

I think I know almost everything because I learn it all by reading it like I'm learning to recite poetry lol. I still need to properly learn some of the bonus Saviors songs. There would be a LOT of Insomniac lyrics I would never know if I didn't read them. I remember when I first listened to Westbound Sign I couldn't make out a single word before "westbound sign"

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 😂

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

True! I think it’s funny! To say it with Monty Python: And now for something completely different…😂

Same. There are times I think “what did he say” 😂

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.

It's in the title! I wanna see how much we love Green Day 😍 Didn't do mine, I'm waiting after work.

I spent 18.931 minutes with GD and so am in 0,002 % of global fans, fan no. 2.436. My top song is Smash it like Belushi which surprises me. I'm sure I like Ballyhoo better!😂 My top albums are: 1. Saviors deluxe 2. American Idiot 3. Saviors 4. 21 Century Breakdown 5. Dos (really??? not sure about that!😅) And now the top artists: 1. GD 2. The Longshot 3. Smile and Burn (German punk / indie; love them!) 4. Pinhead Gunpowder 5. Foxboro Hottubs Oh, and my top podcast is Green Dudes. Hey @Clockwise: I listened to you for 4.781 minutes! Will I be handsomely rewarded?🤣

I supposedly listened to 89 genres(😱) and 121 artists, punk alternative rock, classic rock, soft rock and proto punk were my top 5, listening age is 21 (😂😂😂😂), top song was Saviors then Dilemma, Fancy Sauce, Ballyhoo and OEB top 5, 29 albums with Saviors as top, listened to GD for 6,478 minutes making me in too 0.02% of global fans, making me fan no 19,180! First full year on Spotify so fairly interesting, to me anyway.

oh yeah, i get that a ton with insomniac lyrics too... i love geek stink breath but i keep getting stuck on it just because of the time he said "just a cripple running the rat race". seriously, it does not sound like that at all!! and although i know all the lyrics to it, that isn't helping me either

considering the story behind title track, im gonna say billie recorded an entire handclapping track as a demo and Butch Walker sampled it for the final album

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?)

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.

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? [Verse 2: Max & Jonas] It already began on New Year's Eve, when the monkeys burned Trump almost started the Iran war with a drone The sky above Sidney was red, Australia was on fire While not far away someone won the jungle camp In February, we all noticed the system has cracks In Erfurt fell a bouquet of flowers, in Hanau fell shots Oh, the mask, yes, we've got it with us But more about the pandemic in verse three See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists You might also like Bad Bunny - DtMF (English Translation) Genius English Translations Creep Radiohead What’s Up? 4 Non Blondes [Chorus: Jonas, Jonas & Max] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? [Verse 3: Jonas & Max] The virus came in March, everything has ended We bought very much, we washed our hands This worked so good, really, no lie Every German suddenly had a favourite virologist Europe closes the borders, suddenly for us too Help for the Lufthansa, pity for the art And now take a deep breath, when you thought, it was all Trigger warning, Kobe, when you like basketball Fuck, there is racism, we noticed in May We post black tiles, thought, now it's over Demonstrating two times, shit, it unfortunately doesn't work There is still racism, but now we hate the TAZ [Chorus: Jonas] What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? [Bridge: Jonas & Max] He is sitting upright in his bed, totally perplex "I wish you never waked me up" Billie, if you think now, it'll disappear, if you sleep The word will still be the same (When September ends) He is sitting upright in his bed, totally perplex (When September ends) "I wish you never waked me up" (When September ends) Billie, if you think now, it'll disappear, if you sleep (When September ends) The word will still be the same when September ends [Outro: Jonas & Max] When September ends When September ends When September ends When September ends

Today I caught my husband singing Warning to himself (the song, not the whole album 🤣). He admitted that it’s a good song! Now I am proud! It’s a long way but we’ll get there…

my top five goes: Green Day My Chemical Romance The Network Bastille Ed Sheeran Out of those five only Green Day, My Chemical Romance and The Network managed to get into the actual playlist they create for you 😂 I think you have to have the app? I can't see it anywhere on pc.

How do I look without the app . I dont have the app. But im sure one of my tops is Green Day for sure

You think it's Tre doing the actual clapping? I assumed it would be Billie, but it could by anyone on Earth - or artificial.

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?

Such a perfect ending to an era. This video changes the song for me. I've always felt like it was an incredibly sad song, but now its feel nostalgic, peaceful and almost happy.
