EEEEEEE!!!! y'all the meet n greet was SO fast. The guys were so nice but didn't make conversation that much bc time me thinks. Billie said "you have my dog on your shirt!" I laughed and said he should bring the longshot back, we took the picture and I was out the room. I think they brought us to the pr room so the energy in there was so chaotic. Me and my brother were cheesing when we got back to our seats. He got a fist bump from Mike! The set was so fun! same ol songs but I was in need of a concert so I enjoyed it so much.

According to reddit this is up already for people in certain time zones. Heroes by David Bowie covered by Billie Joe featuring his son Jakob. So I assume it’s dropping everywhere Friday? https://www.reddit.com/r/greenday/s/kr2FMUIS6H

(Seriously that's freaking amazing!)

Today is my two-year anniversary of being a part of this amazing community. Thank you so much my GDC family .

https://www.instagram.com/p/DT1B63UjWOP/?igsh=enNpZm5oeGZ4anN4 just saw this, sounds fabulous. Tomorrow is my birthday, thanks Billie and Jakob. Yes I am taking this as being for me 😂😂

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

I say they come out dressed as The Network and play Ivankkka Is a Nazi.

What a wild thing to say. Nothing proves that David Bowie ever slept with underaged girls. He specifically refused to kiss Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth because of her age, and he had a long string of girlfriends and boyfriends and all of them were full grown adults. Predators don’t sleep with children once and then start dating adults, it’s a repetitive and recognizable pattern. And bringing up the Joey scandal is completely unnecessary, but so is comparing a 22yo kid, dating a 16yo younger kid to a full grown adult grooming a child.

I apologize in advance for the shoddy broadcast. Not much I could really do about that..

Me, before discovering this was being released: "I swear, if one more person covers Heroes, I'm gonna rip my hair out." Also me, after learning Billie Joe and Jakob were covering it: "YES. I NEED THIS."

This should be great, I am working part of the Super Bowl production for this so excited! Glad to get to work the Super Bowl. Excited to see them perform.

So Heroes was recorded to commemorate the upcoming 50th season of Survivor. Why am I not surprised. With the band due to open a major sporting event, not for the first time, the band seem to be the first choice to nominate an existing song or even write one for some sort of major event. The last one being the song Underdog for soundtrack for a new animal series for National Geographic. There have been 17 other songs used for various soundtracks going back to 1995, some existing, others songs written specifically for soundtrack. And this year's no different. Nice one GD. Just shows how really special you continue to be even in the mainstream environment.

Not easy at all and no one is/was like Bowie, so this is a tough task. I really enjoy hearing Billie Joe give it a try and wholeheartedly appreciate getting this stuff from him ❤️ That being said... bring on more Beach Boys!!!

M back home now, so here's a pic of it. I'm playing it now... i very much like these songs!

Absolutely incredible. The chemistry between Billie and Jakob is unreal... their voices blend so perfectly. This cover is such a beautiful gift and a truly extraordinary tribute to Bowie’s legacy... 🤍 Hope he's going to play it at next Coverups show.

Wow, had to find my scrawled notes to get total. But hay, thanks loads. I've just been on an emotional rollercoaster reliving all those amazing live show memories. Kerplunk tour 3. Dookie 7 Insomniac 0 (If memory correct only I show in Brixton, when I trashed my motorbike and broke me leg. lol). Nimrod 5 Reading festival 2 (don't really like festivals) Warning 2 AI 6 (including trip abroad to Amsterdam, and found heaven at Milton Keynes) T in the Park, Scotland. 21st Century Breakdown 6 (Wembley Stadium, oh shit, back in heaven again) Trilogy 1 Rev Rad 5 Hela Mega Tour 1 Saviors 4 (including memorable surprise show at Marquis pub in London, as was in town for Saviors promo 2 days later, but was cancelled as band members where sick. I remember being so sad and worried until got news they would be ok, thanks to update on here). Download Festival 1. 42 in total I think. Thanks for the journey GD. Oh shit, the missus has just come in the room, tears running down me face. 😂

15 music albums and songs that proved 1991 was indeed the greatest year for rock and roll Story by Kalzang Uzor Gurung. He says: "1991 was a turning point that reshaped rock, alternative, and pop culture forever. With icons like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses, RHCP, and more dropping records, the albums on this list topped charts and changed the sound and direction of the entire decade." And at no. 3 is Green Day with Kerplunk. (should be no 1.) 3. Kerplunk, Green Day (1991) - Lookout! Records Kerplunk introduced their classic trio lineup and showcased the melodic, fast, emotionally charged pop-punk sound that would later take over the world. Songs like “Welcome to Paradise,” “Christie Rd.,” and “2000 Light Years Away” helped them build a fiercely loyal underground following and land a major label deal. Without Kerplunk, there’s no Dookie and no pop-punk boom in the ’90s. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/15-music-albums-and-songs-that-proved-1991-was-indeed-the-greatest-year-for-rock-and-roll/ss-AA1UtCzN?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=EDGEDB&cvid=696d374fb99d4fd9869b7c3cd5ffe32a&ei=38#image=14:~:text=Sponsored,in the ’90s.

NFL being my favourite sport with NHL, I can't wait to see this. Biggest sport in America, Green Day will get fucking mainstream and everywhere if they tell the piggy POTUS to stay quiet on stage. Would be so cool to call him and ICE.

You and all recent new members to join us are most welcome. The GD journey started in '80's, now in it's 5th decade. And the band is still going strong attracting new fans allowing GD into their lives, and we get to share their love for GD on here. Aren't we the lucky ones. ❤️

Have you guys listened to "Foreverly", with Billie and Norah jones?? I kept putting off listening to it but i finally did a couple days ago and its pretty incredible

Not an easy vocal style and he nails it. Love the guitar too this is an amazing cover

Went into it with apprehension and then immediately added it to my Billie playlist. Love it!

I really like Billie’s vocal delivery in this. Very classy and tender. Would be interested in this with Saviors vocal production instead of this “he’s far away” sound.

Okay, I can’t relate to those arguments. No logic there I think. I‘m happy for GD to have gotten this honor and hope that the event will turn out well. And of course I hope that they‘ll speak out as usual.

Those things are always chaotic and too short and after you’re like what did I say but I still can’t believe they even did a meet and greet they never do them on tour

My dad would always sing "woah oh, bitches in paradise" no matter how many times I pleaded with him to stop lol.

i absolutely love 21cbd billie as well!!! the outfits he wore in and around that era make me wanna steal his closet . i also love all blonde billie eras, so of course 90's and saviors era goes up there too. i can't decide what goes 1st or 2nd or 3rd, so i'll leave it at that... and runner up is fbht billie, mainly for the outfits ❤️

So having listened quite a few times to this, albeit not yet on quality headphones, I’m actually changing my mind on who sings which part and I see Jakob just posted that they shared the vocals. I said a short while ago I didn’t think they sounded that similar but I think I might have to take that back!

Goddamn, what an awesome surprise. Really great cover, I hope they do more together.

Could be. There’s also a new Bowie doc that’s on Netflix and it inspired me to make a playlist. He could have seen that too. Bowie’s having a moment for sure

I mean if you were going to choose an act to counter Bad Bunny and appease the racists would you pick Green Day??? Who are these woke racists?

Setlist: Nightlife Kill the DJ All of FOAM Source: billies cousin's friend's dog walker told me

Awesome and I’ll be watching in California too. Now I just hope the Rams are in it and it’ll be perfect. During the Rams/Bears game yesterday they had a commercial for Green Day’s Superbowl appearance and it was really long with clips of concert footage I was psyched to see so much promo for this.

My favorite Billie is American Idiot Billie, but I have a huge bias for that era. I think Saviors might come second, I just really like how healthy, both physically and mentally, he looks right now. Out of curiosity, how many GD shows have you been to?

Good Riddance with the count down was the first thing I saw on instagram today, and my day was better for that

That backstage 'frame' performance is so cool and funny. If one day they make a music video just with funny faces, silly walking etc I would watch it forever and it would probably one of my favourites🙂

I'm gonna record the Radio Broadcast.

@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.

Can’t think of a better community to share with ❤️

This is SO good, i didnt know i needed this!

Just listened to it. Loved it. It's wild how much Jakob sounds like Billie!

My IG feed was flooded with statements on the matter and I took the following information from that: It‘s the first time for the Super Bowl to have an opening ceremony, and it’s because of their 60 year anniversary. The organizers booked three acts that don’t go well with the MAGA crowd, beside Bad Bunny and GD there‘s Brandi Carlisle to sing the national anthem. She‘s openly queer and married to a woman. So I get the impression that the NFL maybe doesn’t like the current political climate and wants to make a statement? As for ICE raids I saw a statement by Kristi Noem herself that there will be lots of ICE agents in the stadium… So that seems to be true unfortunately… Edit: Carlisle will not sing the national anthem but „America the Beautiful“, the unofficial hymn. Still… Yes, I‘ve seen that too. And so many statements that this turns people into GD fans!😅 I very much hope that our band won’t disappoint the expectations…

I hope it’s being broadcast. I’ll be watching the game from a bar hopefully they’ll turn it on early and show it

Some backstage stuff has been posted on ig https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTpFHNNjuiH/?igsh=a25mb293dHVnNWp2

They’ve been doing a some Superbowl weekend event most recent years but if this one isn’t livestreamed I have to wonder what the point is of promoting an invite only event no one else will get to see
