I‘m Elke from Germany, age is not important.😉 I only discovered GD with the release of Saviors (which I deeply regret…), so the Saviors tour was the first tour for me. In 2024 I saw two shows, Nuremberg (Rock im Park) and Berlin. Nuremberg as the „first contact“ was amazing, and somehow I ended up in the - admittedly quite tame - moshpit. It was a lot of fun and I only got out of there for a while when Billie wanted a wall of death.😂 Berlin was great, too, of course but somehow I don’t remember much. I seem to have spent the evening in a kind of daze… I remember that there was a light rain and that the atmosphere was magical somehow, but sadly not many details. In 2025 it began in Vienna. At the first show there, I (and my husband) had front of stage tickets and a great evening. But you know: the second night is always better than the first! I went alone, I had a VIP ticket and I queued for the first time in my life. It was a great experience to see and get to know so many like minded people in the queue, including some from the GDC.😃 With the help of the VIP ticket I managed to get front row. It was awesome to be so near to the band and be able to see everything in detail. One of the deep cuts was Forever Now, and I love love love this song so much! It was one of the best nights of my life. About two weeks later we went to Luxembourg. And this was special, too. First it was nice to see that a lot of those crazy fans from Vienna were there again. Besides Luxembourg is a charming place in itself, and this combined with the hype of GD fans everywhere and extraordinary heat (hottest week of the year) made for an atmosphere never to forget. The show up on a hill in the city was perfect. I was extremely happy. …and felt quite depressed during the following days when seemingly everyone went on to Amsterdam for the next show. For which I didn’t have tickets. Feeling left behind in still horribly hot Luxembourg wasn’t nice. But then we went on to Belgium to see GD one more time at Rock Werchter. This is a pleasant festival. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and finally at 11 pm GD came onstage and everyone went crazy. What a night! My highlight was them playing Saviors, my favorite song of the album. Slight post concert depression for the following weeks until the South America tour began. Then at least I could watch all those fan videos on Instagram and get hyped up about the question what deep cut had been played. And now? As a relatively new fan I‘ve never experienced a time „between eras“. What to do now? I decided that I somehow had to fill this void they left behind and bought an electric guitar. You are never to old to start learning an instrument….9 points

I'm Seb, I'm 35. I'm from Chile. I have been a fan since 2004. The release of Saviors found me in a really weird spot in my life. Things have been working out decently the last few years but since the beginning of the last year I started to feel that I needed a shake to lift me up. The thing that Green Day released Fancy Sauce, and it induced me such a FOMO that I cried like 50 times in the month of release with that song. They announced the tour, playing Dookie and American Idiot, and I said: "Is ok, they have it done before, is not THAT special" Then the first happened. And it was a kick in the balls. Then I told myself that I needed to see them ASAP. Originally the idea was starting to save money to see them in Europe the next cycle and having some money to see them in Chile and Argentina when they the time comes. It turns out I end up buying a VIP ticket to the second Vienna show in December of 2024. It was jarring. I totally lost my mind. I didn't knew anybody in Europe AT ALL, even if I was talking heavily with someone from Spain who helped me to organize the travel, I didn't know a single person. Then I said to myself: "it would be very sad if I miss the first date" so I went into a two month search for a ticket. I like to see the band as close as I can, but this was a sold out show, so I would buy any ticket at any location if the chance was there. And happily I found one in a late night in February. A seat ticket in the middle of the arena. It could be worse. But it was that or miss the show. No brainer. Time passes. The dates are getting near. They announced south america. Instant buying for the shows in Chile and Argentina. No questions ask, even if I found them expensive, very close to the european prices. You know, YOLO in a nutshell Then the flight to Madrid was really long. My head was rushing all the time. Then Barcelona, that's probably the worst airport in the whole world, to finally get to Vienna. Got into my hostel, that was a terrible choice, but the city was really nice. The first show of Vienna gave me the most shocking surprise of my life. They played 86. Billie Joe announced the song and I fell into my knees, crying like a little kid, realizing that a dream was coming true. I barely got to see them playing the song. I could hardly sing. But that was probably the happiest time of my whole life. The show was flawless, even if they didn't play so much of Saviors sadly. Second show, I arrived early to get in CAS line and it was a very very very sweet afternoon speaking with likeminded people. I remember realizing that I didn't remember that I could speak english that well. I remember sharing with a girl from Romania, called Meike (I'm really sorry if I got your name wrong) and we had a blast talking about videos and registering things. I remember meeting @solongfromthestars and @Cris. too. The show itself is easily the best show I've ever lived. Not only setlist wise, since I got to see Forever Now and Stuart and the Ave with little snippet of Redundant. But also was a very nice crowd. To me, that I come from a country who likes to be messy in shows, and I have been in very hard crowds in Argentina, it was a really really nice change of pace. Loved the show as whole. Easily the best day of my life, even if I have seen the band before (4 times, my first show was in 2010) The whole experience is unmatched. I got to see them later in Chile and Argentina. Chile got the deepest cut of whole tour, Haushinka. It was such a surprise. Somebody was playing the drums before the show. Then I heard a known fill. It was Haushinka. And I said: "no fucking way" And it was Nobody knew the song in the moment. But it was awesome. Argentina was a rough show, I fell off in the middle of the crowd and nobody noticed. I depleted my energy trying to stand up again and I had to leave my close spot. But they played an extended setlist, including Coma City and The Grouch. So it was alright. I left a lot of details out, but I'm really glad this tour happened. I made very very very nice friends, an amazing feat considering the fact that I'm not that fond of people and I never expected to do it in this stage of my life. I pushed my boundaries of what I believed it was possible to make. And I'm so grateful that Green Day once more was part of another personal development. I can't stress it enough. So I started saving already. I cannot wait to repeat. We all die young someday.7 points

I got my sister a Tre Funko Pop for her birthday cuz he's her favourite and it's also the best design of the GD Funko Pops imo. And I got my brother (their birthdays are 5 days apart) a green Dookie shirt. Also bought myself a Kerplunk patch like this and it's on my backpack6 points

I'm Justin (aka Lark), 23 from New York, now in Florida. I'm a newer fan (started listening in 2018, first show was Hella Mega in 2021), but these shows have been unforgettable experiences. Each show has its own crazy backstory. There was coercion, deception, broken glass… but I won't go into all of that. Here's the lighthearted version: I made it into the Fremont show in Vegas when they announced the tour. I knew right then and there it'd be something special. The moment tickets went on sale, I scored 2 for the Citi Field show. Months later, the day came and it was awesome! I hate to say it, but all of Dookie in a stadium was way cooler than in a club. By this point though, I had relocated to Florida. Seeing all the videos on socials made me crave more. So I bought a ticket for the Atlanta show and flew up there for a night. Just as amazing. When it was announced they were headlining Rockville… I wanted to say it was a no-brainer, but it took a lot of deliberation. I don't like festivals. I don't like the heat. I didn't even have a car to make the hour-drive to Daytona. But I bit the bullet, rented a car (which was a whole ordeal in it of itself), and rounded out my Saviors Tour experience at Rockville. These shows have been awesome. I feel honored to say I was a part of it.5 points

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.4 points

Haha, he stood away from performing for exactly 14 days😆 this mean makes music and performs like he breathes. It’s so nice to see he wasn’t burned out by Saviors Tour, and that he still wants to do stuff like this randomly. Can’t wait for the next chapter ❤️4 points

And what an amazing album and brilliant follow up to Dookie. A mere 20 months later following the '94 awesome tour. And then just as you thought things might slow down a tad, the jaw dropping Carry The Banner album is released at end of '94 by Pinhead Gunpowder. Holy shit. Then as anticipation and excitement grew Geek Stink Breath was released in September '95. And then the album. 14 amazing songs. So difficult to choose favourites but if I had to Stuck With Me and the emotional 86. So lucky to live through it, I knew I'd done the right thing, and given my life to GD. ❤️ Love this video4 points

My name is Stefano, I'm from Italy and I'm 35. I've started following the band on 2009 after became a fan in 2005. I can't get to a show on the 21st Century Breakdown world tour but I've seen the band live for the first time in 2013 *(after I've attended to a cancel show the year before). After that I'd saw the band in 2017 and 2022, and everytime the band did a tour, it seems to me it's getting better than the previous times and the Saviors world tour was no exception. The whole Saviors era felt special to me because I love the album so much (the standard edition it's in my top 3 album) and also it's my first time seen the band twice (almost 3 times) during a whole era. Talking about the shows, after I couldn't get the tickets to the club show in 2023, I've finally saw the band in Milan the year after. I can say that the show was awesome, everything was amazing the scenography, the band was on fire as always and the setlist. I've love Saviors 's songs even more on a live setting and been able to see American Idiot and Dookie in their entirety exceeded my wildest dreams. I was in the pit rocking to every songs while I did a few photos and videos to had the memories after the show ended. I was only disappointed that the band had to cut Minority and Bobby Sox of the setlist 'cause I'd love to hear it, especially the new one, but I still couldn't know how the following year would go. The band return to Europe in 2025 and I've got the ticket to see them in Firenze. Made the trip and also stay a few days to visit the city and also I'd walk by the hotel where the band was supposedly staying since I saw lots of people with Green Day t-shirt, unfortunately I didn't see the band members. Anyway let's get to the show. I was in the pit a little bit closer to the stage since the venue was a little bit smaller. The show was amazing even though it was shorter. The band was on fire and the setlist was awesome. They played Minority and Bobby Sox which left me disappointed the year before in Milan but that was expected. This show's setlist was shorter but filled with surprises. They played 80 and Murder City in full ( and I'd lost my brain to both) plus a partial versions of One of my Lies to 86 and At the Library. I was exalted after the show and even I was tired I was so full of energy. Of course I was singing the entire show while I was doing photos and videos. It's a very amazing tour and Saviors also became the soundtrack of this two amazing years. I was also amazed by the livestream we've got (Rock am Ring, Isle of Wight and Corona Capital in 2024, Coachella, Hurricane and The Town in 2025) which of course I've watched it all, even if not in real time. My favourite Saviors's songs is Dilemma which reminds me of a few tough years in my life (a few years before COVID-19 and the lockdown period) which I've experienced dark thoughts and it seems to became like an addiction to me. Of course seen the song love in person and on the stream had made me emotional. A soft spot also belongs to Bobby Sox since my best friend is homosexual and a few days after Firenze's show he proposed to me to become his best man to his wedding. A special era ended and I can't wait to know what the band do in the future4 points

I just saw how much Green Day make from their Youtube channel: 68,000 - 203,000 a month. They are ranked #4,400 out of every channel on the site. For comparison, I make 100 a month and am ranked 7 millionth or so, which ain't bad considering there are 115 million channels or so, haha.4 points

Absolutely, not a yesterday band of long past, long forgotten era, with occasional comeback show regurgitating same old, same old. GD are unique, timeless, and still getting noticed by old and new fans alike, through making new awesome music and wowing audiences with electric live shows. Even though been very unlucky not to win anything recently, after 30+ years they are still being nominated for awards.3 points

You could skip the first fifteen to twenty minutes. That’s usually some personal banter, funny but not concerning the song. AND I often listen to them while doing some boring housework. Makes this work much more enjoyable!3 points

As yes, the Green Dudes. I still listen to those guys quite a bit - and got mentioned in one of their shows. I shouted them out in the comments section of the youtube video of the song they were going to be covering, and sure enough they saw it. I don't remember what song it was, but yeah. I'm in there somewhere.3 points

Fans have called it 'life changing' and 'the best tour yet.' It wouldn't have been what it was without the fans, so of course, we have to commemorate it with a GDA article featuring those fans! If you'd like to be featured in the article, go ahead and share your feelings, stories, tattoos, fanart, or anything else you think is relevant, in this thread. Please include your country and the name or alias you'd like to use. If you feel comfortable sharing your age, please include that too. You're also welcome to share anything in this thread even if you don't want to be featured in the article, but please state that so I know not to include you. If you don't want to post in the thread, you can PM me or contact GDA on Instagram or Tumblr. You can also contact me personally if you have me on social media or WhatsApp. ---------------------------------------- The deadline to be featured in the GDA article is 20 October 2025. Of course, you can still share whatever you want in this thread after the deadline, but it won't be included in the article. ---------------------------------------- Rules There aren't any! It doesn't matter how young or old you are, how many shows you went to, or even if you couldn't make it to a show. You're still welcome to share your experience of following the tour online or wishing you could go. ---------------------------------------- If you're not sure where to start... Some questions you could answer: Had you seen Green Day before? How did this tour compare? Did the Saviors Tour inspire you to do anything? What was your favourite moment or photo? Did you get onstage or meet the band? How was it? How many shows did you go to? If you couldn't make it to a show, did you follow the tour online? Did you watch any livestreams? Which song meant the most to you when you heard it or watched a video of it? Have you made any fanart relating to the Saviors Tour or era? Did you get any Green Day tattoos during or after the tour? You don't have to use these questions. They're just examples in case anyone isn't sure where to start. The American Idiot article might also give you some ideas. Can't wait to read all your stories!3 points

Still confused way no demos of minority or remastered versions of church on Sunday?! Poprocks and Coke i don’t want to know if you are lonely have ready been released so unless they are new versions of remastered versions what’s the point? I still ordered everything but this is just making me look even more forward to 21st Century Breakdown’s anniversary that i think we will get some goods like dreamcatcher and maybe some C&V tracks that they maybe demoed again or were morphed into album tracks…plus a live version of that album at GD’s peak would be fantastic!! Plus the merch was great that era!!! Still hope they release a live saviors in full album since when they played it in full several times Baxley recorded it as well as the tour and I need to hear Haushinka live!!! But 21st Century Breakdown I think will be their best boxset/anniversary2 points

It's a sad sad day after learning that MTV channel, launched in 1981, has confirmed it will stop showing rolling music videos after 4 decades. It blames video-sharing apps such as YouTube and TikTok have killed MTV. Back in early '90, there was no streaming, no downloading, no smart phones. Access to internet was limited and expensive, as where computers. MTV ruled. If a band wanted to me noticed then a music video of a song on MTV on many occasions influenced single and album sales. Back then a big part of each day was to watch MTV. One of the first music videos I saw was Longview, which at it's hight got aired several times a day for months. Thanks for the memories MTV. https://www.pressreader.com/ireland/irish-daily-mail/20251011/2819689088890112 points
