Rev Rad is amazing and Somewhere Now/Forever Now is the best two song combo ever

Is quite funny. Before the show, somebody started to play drums like a soundcheck in front of all the crowd. Then I heard a known fill. It was Haushinka. And then it WAS PLAYED. Absolutely insane. I never thought that 86 in vienna would be tied so fast lmao

Made this video essay about Warning. Would really appreciate if some of you checked it out, I worked really hard on it!

Np, I was very confused lol. Context on The Black Parade: I first heard the whole thing in 2015-ish. It’s one of those albums that before I heard it, “Welcome to the Black Parade” was a running joke about emo culture for me. After hearing the whole album, it’s one of the best songs ever. I don’t think the album is quite up to AI or The Wall standards, but it is an underrated all-time great. Yep, “Still Breathing” was originally written for 5 seconds of Summer. Billie Joe decided to rework it into a song for Rev Rad, and it fit perfectly. “Are you scared to death to live?”, is, imo, the best lyric in any Green Day song, full stop. I think Rev Rad is the type of lyrically and musically the type of album that really benefits from a slower closer. “Forever Now” is an amazing song, but it’s a crazy, hectic, all over the map number. Kind of like “American Eulogy” in a lot of ways. Ending the album with it would have felt kind of abrupt to me. Live, it works great when you know there’s an encore on the way. On the album, it needs that slower ballad after it.

I don't care about the film but I am excited to try to spot myself in it

I'll always stand up for Ordinary World. It's in my top 15 GD songs. Like @Tre's Busted Drumkitsaid, it's like an exhale. If they ended on Forever Now, you still have a bunch of adrenaline running through you. Ordinary World allows you to breathe while letting the album come to an end. It's a fitting end to the album.

SIX DAY COUNTDOWNNNNNN!!! keep voting people!

When you get excited every time you notice someone one wearing a Green Day shirt during your runs, and wish you could acknowledge it/them somehow

No, but how about Worry Rock next?🥰

HAUSHINKAAAAAAAAA

Wow it actually looks like a lot of fun!

This looks really good and I like that it’s properly centered on Green Day as the central plot. They’re not downplaying their role at all and trying to just make a generic road trip film. I hope it draws a good sized audience it should do more than Ordinary World did which wasn’t a Green Day movie There’s gonna be so many fun easter eggs in this. The kid onstage with the dreadlocks really looked like 1993 Billie for a second. I do have one complaint though — that Bunny is too clean!

Finally I got it!!

i just hope they win because 1. they are amazing and deserve to win 2. I have been voting since the beginning of August, so if they don't win I will be a tad pissed

Ballyhoo would be extremely cool! That song is just awesome, could have fit well on the actual album.

Bang Bang is definitely not safe just based on the fact it is from the POV of a mass shooter. That single might be the ballsiest lead single they ever put out there with AI or Geek Stink Breath. That song is also straight fire and has an Insomniac vibe to it. They music video I think was a bit of a let down and played it safe considering they lyrics/context. Still Breathing also is very personal from the POV of Billie’s struggles and lyrically I don’t think plays it safe that’s one of his most honest compositions. Forever now and somewhere now are also pretty honest “My name is Billie and I’m freaking out”. Sound wise maybe parts of the album play it safe but great lyrics. Every album Billie seems to have a deep personal song like Dilemma pretty much all of AI and 21st. Brutal Love and Lazy Bones, Macys Day Parade, 86, No Pride, he’s not afraid to put his heart out there.

Floof, dirty blonde, eyeliner, shirt a little open….. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOEeHRejV8m/?igsh=MWcwbmNzaHIwd200cw== 🔥🔥🔥

This is hilarious . I love it though and glad there's no noticeable autotune. Yes please live album! I loved seeing this song live so much, the people around us weren't singing the new songs and it was me and my sister jumping up and down shouting bada bing bada boom lol

Excuse me? Whatsername is a perfect song to close a perfect album. Macy's Day Parade and Fancy Sauce are the only other closers in Green Day albums that come anywhere near. No arguments here though

I was so shocked and delighted when Billie announced they will play HAUSHINKA, I yelled so loud!! Nimrod is my favorite album, and as a Chilean fan, waiting 7/8 years average to watch them live... IT BLEW MY MIND!! What an EPIC MOMENT!! Amazing to get this deep cut here in Chile!! And the band still sounds incredible!! Also, before Dilemma, Billie sang a little bit of One of my lies!!

I don’t think we’re getting any official live product that isn’t at least pitch corrected these days. It’s just considered professionally standard. I also agree that it isn’t necessary and I’d prefer to hear the vocals without any processing but good luck getting the suits at Warner to agree to put something out (ie spend money) they’d consider “unpolished”. I’d be curious to see what the last live cuts that we got without vocal tuning were. Bowling Parking? Tune In Tokyo? It doesn’t diminish my excitement. Having these is like a memento of the tour, a snapshot of a moment in time. A really amazing tour and era for the band deserves commemoration. Would I prefer to have my cake and eat it too? Of course. But I’d rather get live tracks with vocal tuning over them taking their ball and going home because they’re playing purists. They’ve always been willing to play ball to advance their careers betting that in the long term their music will stand the test of time.

They just played Haushinka live an instagram account just posted it and wow the crowd sang along and it sounds awesome with the extra guitars!!! I hope we get this on a proper live release talk about a deep cut!! They play westbound sign or uptight and I can die happy

Ok Green Day just played Haushinka live!!! And the instagram account that caught did a great job it sounds awesome and the fans go nuts. Must be the first time they played this since 91/92?!?? I pray if there is a live cd/dvd this is on it it sounds awesome with the extra musicians

I like Rev Rad a lot. Didn't think I would, because I felt like the Trilogy got worse by the song, and I honestly wasn't sure how BJA's very public struggles would affect the band's sound and chemistry. I'm happy I was wrong. I don't really dislike any songs on the album. I think Still Breathing and Revolution Radio should never have been split up in the track order, because they work together as well as 21 Guns and American Eulogy or WMUWSE and Homecoming do. Still Breathing has what I consider the best lyric Billie Joe has ever written, and I will defend that song to the death as vastly underappreciated by fans who can't get past the fact that BJA originally wrote a very different version of it for a pop band. Forever Now deserves a place among GD's best "album climax" songs with Homecoming and the GOAT (American Eulogy). Somewhere Now is also a criminally underrated song. I get that the band may not have wanted another "slow burn" opener like 21CB, or maybe they just didn't want to play the song over again at the end during Forever Now, but I think it would have been a perfect opener for the Rev Rad tour. I think of Rev Rad as the sort of thing that would happen if Billie Joe walked into a studio and said, "I want lyrics as raw as AI with music as polished as 21CB." Does it always work? No. There are songs that sound "sterile", or like they were trying to make something that sounds like BOBD or Letterbomb. And the elephant in the room, yes, even though I like Ordinary World, it's just stuffing an acoustic track at the end reminiscent of Good Riddance, and it serves the double purpose of using a BJA solo song from his movie to pad the album's length. It's not the best album ever, but I do think it balances out to be their best post-21CB work.

billiejoearmstrong Got to finally meet this legend today in São Paulo Brazil. @beastmode @oaklandroots 🇧🇷🙌 east bay for life! https://www.instagram.com/p/DOPmzSJDWAC/ radio92fm Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool, of Green Day, attended the duel between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, held at the Neo Chemical Arena in São Paulo. The band's passage through Brazil has gained another special chapter, with the musicians taking advantage of the sports weather and the energy of the Brazilian fans at the NFL event. 🏈🤘🇧🇷 https://www.instagram.com/p/DOPZ74mDf3f/

for anyone who wants this logo i recreated it !! free to use

It would be really cool if WMUWSE hits a billion Spotify streams in September. It’s at 925,467,070 now.

They've played Uno and Tre songs.....will a Dos track be played live soon? Father of All?

I still don't care about this movie It looks fine! It would be cool to host a watch party on GDC. I'd rather see it with my Green Day peeps than just by myself.

To be fair with the South American fans, the frequency with which they tour South America is much lower than the frequency of US / Europe tours, and the intensity of the South American tours is also lower (more rest between shows. In US and Europe is not uncommon that they play two nights in a row, and have only one night off between the other shows), so it's nice that when they finally do go there, they make the wait worth it. Also the crowds in South America I think are spicier than the crowds in US and Europe, you can kind of feel it from the videos, but it's also been my experience: to this day, the crowd for their show in Venezuela is by far the craziest crowd of any Green Day concert I've been to. I guess they also feed off that. The lesson for us fans: save money to go to their South American tours if it is within our means Yeah I think it'll be the "standard" 1 or 2 deep cuts. Just not four 😅

They won’t, they’ll come back to the states and they’ll do a greatest hits set. They’re like a different band when they play South America it’s like this every time.

FOUR DAY COUNTDOWNN I'm so excited for Sunday !!! Keep voting. I hope our boys win something

Warning (the whole album) is a fucking banger. Has always been one of my favorites. I wish this album could get more love. Warning (the song) is great too

I love that you said that! The trilogy is 100% underrated and needs more love

The way he described it I think it stopped being a 5 Seconds of Summer song shortly after he sat down to start writing it lol. He said he was writing it and was like hang on these are really personal lyrics and I don't want to write this for someone else, and called and said sorry I'm not writing you a song. So it was pretty much fully written as his own song really

yyayayay hehe. Thanks for letting me know it is back !! Also, I love how we all say floof and everyone is totally serious about it. Not fluff. floof.

In 95 they were touring and MTV streamed a live version of them playing Stuck with Me from Stockholm I think? It had the “spit cam” lol. I suppose they could do the same. I love how on all their MTV VMA performances they don’t always play the “hit single” like when they played Armarage Shanks in 94 instead of Basket Case/Longview/When I Come Around. And Stuck With Me instead of a Dookie track or BrainStew or Geek Stink Breath. They did play Blvd. But that song was EVERYWHERE. After that though East Jesus Nowhere instead of Know Your Enemy or 21 Guns. Then instead of Oh Love they played Let Yourself Go. So if they were to stream a song maybe they’d play an album track/non single or maybe a single but not on of their biggest. Ballyhoo would be cool.

Sadly I've been kinda sick (earlier this year I couldn't go to the Japan shows because of dangerously high blood pressure and just haven't been right since). Also been trying to stay off the internet too. Starting to feel a little more human the last couple of weeks. Hope you're keeping well.

I have hundreds of magazines still to be photographed or scanned. I'd say a few really old ones but don't remember what's in them any more as they've been boxed up for about 13 years. If I do find it down the line will post but it could be a while

Still doing that twice every day!👍

Bang bang needs to be the opener in concerts that song rocks live I wish they didn’t drop it

I don't think Ordinary World would have worked anywhere else on the album though. I was fine with it as a "let the air out of the balloon" closer like Whatsername or See the Light, or what Good Riddance does at the end of shows. It really doesn't fit the album, which is to be expected for a standalone single that gets tossed in there because it's recorded already (except Under Pressure, which is just a perfect song in every way). It does serve its purpose at the end, and while it's not up to Good Riddance or Macy's Day Parade levels, it's far from a bad song.

RevRad is great. I still remember first listening to Bang Bang debut on the radio and loving it, particularly once that little drum solo hit. I remember it being liked by even “old” Green Day fans. I also heavily associate it with Autumn given the release and sort of melancholic vibe of the record. I loved stories of them recording it in that apartment studio. I loved stories how the drums sound. I wish Billie’s vocals weren’t so filtered. Guitars and vocals with Saviors production would bring a lot of the songs more energy. Some of them fall flat at times. And the mixing is sort of unbalanced in a few tracks. It’s a solid, mature record. Only a few songs on there that I never revisit.

The Grouch, Redundant, and now Haushinka... someone remind me why I decided to stay home? 😅

Wow, would not have predicted them playing Haushinka, would have loved to have been there for that.

with todays show, Haushinka has officially beaten Sweet Children's record of longest time between 2 plays live, at over 1559 (fully verified) shows inbetween plays there are only 5 songs that could break Haushinka's record now. (counting verified setlists) Best Thing In Town, Rest, and Strangeland+ I Want To Be Alone and The One I Want (assuming they weren't played in 97)

I'm a bit younger, by the time I was born all that stuff was out. I did still grow up on it though. American Idiot was one of (I believe it was THE) first album I ever listened to in full when I was about 11. 7 years later and I have a collection of over 300 different albums by various artists I love (10 of which are Green Day).

Bang Bang was their strongest single ever, imo. The album is absolutely amazing, but it’s a bit to ‘stale’ if that makes sense, and also (like @jengd) mentioned: They played it a little safe. Bang Bang and Forever Now are easily in my top 10 GD songs of all time.

When (still as a tourist) in Copenhagen you visit the free city of Christiania and absolutely have to tell your husband the story of Sleepy head…

I like how they picked a version where he fucks up the lyrics, multiple times😂
