I would absolutely love something like 21st Century Breakdown again just one more time in their career. The incredible production, the wide variety of instruments and arrangements, Billie Joe's vocal range, etc etc etc. An unbelievable record start to finish. How did that come to be? The band feeling adventurous after American Idiot? Warner/Reprise asking them for an epic follow up to American Idiot? Butch Vig's touch?

I won tickets to this show on the radio! I'm so excited to see the guys again XP

Seeing the Coverups last January, what a treat!

i actually got into them through my best friend and some other people. his favourite band has been green day for a long time, so i asked a few friends online for some suggestions. the first three green day songs i ever listened to were dilemma, east jesus nowhere, and longview.

For me, it was definitely seeing them at Riot Fest. I camped out at the stage since 11:15 am, but the barrier was already claimed by Green Day fans (The festival opened at 11)! I became super dehydrated to the point of my cheeks sinking into my face. I moshed until I felt like I had to puke. It was the most glorious time I’ve ever had at a Green Day show. It was also great to be there on my own and not have to worry about anyone and if they were having a good time. 100% would do it again. I’d do it tomorrow.

Totally random misheard lyric but in Android, I used to think 'it keeps my head spinning around' was 'it keeps my husband in the ground' 🙃

I gave Saviors another spin today because the (second!! how can that be!?) anniversary is coming up. It's very much a winter album for me. Never connected with Goodnight Adeline much until just recently. Maybe it's a slow burn or emotional turmoil that's bringing it to the front for me but I was really digging it. Shares a lot of connective tissue with 21 Guns, similar chords, similar emotional tenor. Gotdang that Billie Joe sure can write him a song.

i can record this event and share it with you guys! ill be using OBS

Another random thought while listening to Green Day. Father of All Motherfuckers is likely a result from Revolution Radio being the first time the band backtracked in their career. It was constant evolution and forward momentum until the backlash from the trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, Revolution Radio still brought fresh ideas, but it was a return to a more familiar sound. Father of All Motherfuckers was a return to doing new things and trying to continue an evolution, even if it was unsuccessful. (This might be obvious, but it sounds profound in my state of mind right now ha)

Listening to Saviors on a new pair of over the ear headphones I got for Christmas and man did they deliver such a treat of an album. They did not have to do this. I had a couple of drinks and am dancing around to a bunch of the songs. They are masters man.

If I remember correctly Billie said that 21st CB is one of his favorite albums, but that the majority of the songs reminds him of being drunk, tired and having mental problems during that time, and that's why they don't play anything of that reord, besides KYE, 21 guns and Murder City obviously.. I can't see that we're gonna get a new album like this again 😕 I really hope that they go beyond their "comfort zone" and just put out a album with variety, all from acoustic songs to ballads to short and fast songs or anything in between

When you hear Good Riddance playing from your boss' office and have to resist running in there. Cause, ya know, I haven't heard it enough times.

Lots of fangirl moments in their roundup… https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS7yOz6EYlH/?igsh=dTJ0bDl3a2JpdnNu

My personal highlights were the nights when I stayed up to watch live-streamed shows with everyone, like the Fire Aid show. Those days were fun . Wow, two days until 2026......

Talking of which, Saviors is holding its own in the latest fan rating charts on greenday.fm, staying at 3rd place. FOAM sadly still bottom in 17th. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-album-rankings/

definitely agree about this ! i'm more than certain father of all got a shit ton of backlash too and that's probably what created saviors. do new stuff on the trilogy, get like 1.5/5 on ratings for all of them or something around that then make RR to please your fans. then do new stuff on father of all, get 1.5/5 on ratings for it or something around that then make saviors to please your fans. and i'm pretty sure father of all was one of billies favourite records he'd put out too. poor guy. bobby sox is something i had to let grow on me. i didn't like it much. i think father of all isn't actually objectively shit like a bunch of people say. i think i could let that album grow on me if it weren't for the claps. stab you in the heart is a bit of a recent ear worm i've had. can't wait to see what they'll do for the new album!

Every single time you say y'know (and I say it a lot, even before I was into Green Day) you immediatly start thinking about Green Day

Yes, and anytime a GD song comes on anywhere, you can’t leave til it’s done.

Same here. I'd love to see something with that level of ambition again.

The GD year 2025: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS7yOz6EYlH/?igsh=MXMzanB4c3p0dnI1aw==

i forgot i had this. i was gonna put this here on christmas but i forgot... anyways, christmas billie

its not a lot, but the day i finally got into green day was this year, 8th of march. actually, maybe that is a lot. im a newbie, and i missed the one time they came to australia this decade.

Hugging Billie Joe in Vienna

Bobby Sox was a grower for me too. I went from feeling completely indifferent to it, to it being one of my favorites from the album. It gives me that nostalgic vibe of reminding me of my first love. And I actually like FOAM. It's not among my favorites, but every now and then I get really into it for a few days. I don't know if it is because I only listened to it years after it came out and in a moment when I had no expectations, for good nor for bad, about the band's new material (I listened to it for the first time a couple of days before the small show in Paris in the Saviors promo tiny tour)

i tested my brother (who says he doesnt even like GD) on how many songs of each band he knows, green day were the ones he could name the most of lmao i think he could remember the names of abt 40 off the top of his head XDD slow progress but im sure ill turn him into a proper fan some day

Okay, let‘s continue in this thread. Really looking forward to the event!😊

I completely forgot there was a 2026 live date scheduled I had to look up the details again. I hope we get some video I miss them. There’s not even a thread for this appearance maybe we should have one

I can 100% relate to that!

Check out the GDA roundup of this year's highlights! https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6272/ What was YOUR personal highlight? Mine was hearing Suzie Chapstick live, but the bits of Stay the Night and Redundant acoustic that we got in Vienna were close seconds.

The concerts in Vienna. I mean we got 2 (two!!) solo Green Day shows. Doesn't happen that often that international bands play some extra shows here..

Seeing the second show in Vienna 🔥

I like how the first 3 songs you listened to were all released 15 years apart from the last, covering a good chunk of their discography. Welcome to the fandom!

Could really be an age thing… Interesting! I love this album. Also because it’s different. ❤️

Yes, absolutely!🥰😍 I love this! And I miss them…🥲

I guess that IS a lot. How did you get into them?

seeing the band live on my birthday, 3rd of March in Sydney! Amazing show!!

That has some dark connotations...

My friends recently started catching on that I say y'know way too much (is that even a thing though?), especially when I ramble and forget a word, and then they just look at me and answer y'know and then I just start laughing

Well, in fact @Rumpelstiltskin2000 did!😅 That would be awesome!

I just uploaded the following: 1996/03 - Crossbeat 1997/12 - Player 2005/05 - InRock 2005/12 - MusicPlus (not ALL pages, but every page with something interesting. If someone needs the missing pages, let me know) Link to the folders: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hk68uJ_YwpQBby3nlLWhRAWU6_8vdAkE?usp=drive_link There will be more scans in the next weeks/months, since I bought some more magazines from Japan (Crossbeat 1997/10 and probably Crossbeat 2001/09 [Fuji Special])

The show is in two weeks!😃 I‘m so looking forward to seeing some video footage on IG or YT. All this time without a glimpse of them is just sad…

Ditto

billie "y'know" armstrong ...

Another rock opera would be really great. At the beginning of the Saviors era I thought that they release a zombie-themed concept album because of the website, video, and so on. On the other hand I think that 21CB was also the product of Billie's mental state at this time, so I don't expect another album like this ever again (maybe luckily for Billie's health).

when you walked into the local pub (cause there was live music on) and the person is playin good riddance and you have to resist the urge to jump up and start singing along Xb i did lmao-

Just got a dookie t shirt for xmas (thanks mom) Gonna try and get a shirt for every album!

Seeing them live at Download festival during the Summer. Such an amazing atmosphere and the crazy timing of the rain starting on cue during WMUWSE.

Seeing the live definitely, it was so surreal seeing so many people shouting out the lyrics and just as crazy as me all in one place, and not to mention the performance was so awesome And them performing missing you was just chef's kiss

I had two highlights: seeing my beloved band from the front row in Vienna (and hearing Forever Now at that occasion) and spending hours with @Cris. at a beautifully situated cafe in Luxembourg, talking about Green Day and the world…
