Billie won't hit retirement age until 2037 and besides.... he has some pretty significant job satisfaction. lol Green Day will likely put out albums 15, 16 and 17 by 2037. Big tours for each one? Probably. Album 18 in 2039 - the guys are 67. Maybe this "retirement age" phase slows things down a little. Album 19 - 2043 - the guys are 71. Maybe slowing down a tiny bit, but they all seem healthy, wealthy and happy so who knows? Could go for some time. The oldest known musician performed until they were 111, so......maybe Green Day will outdo that record and keep the momentum going until 2084. Green Day Album 30 would be a nice, even number to go out on. Will it be any good? Will we be in the nursing homes blasting it? Maybe. Things will be awesome in 2084, guys. There's no reason to think otherwise. Earth rules! Humans rock! Everything is awesome!

I understand where you come from. I think the feeling is 100% real, and at some point life will happen for the band members, the shows will be less energetic and the "dad rock" will escalate. We also have a tendency to compare them now and in the past. Yes, Billie isn't jumping as much around on stage and he uses a teleprompter, and they don't play intimate shows that much anymore. But, some things we know are the truth: 1. They are as tight as ever 2. They show no signs of not wanting to perform 3. They just played a tour where they played 2 albums in full + even more songs from other albums 4. They clearly love what they're doing - trust that feeling!

My only worry just now is if one of them develops an illness otherwise I see them keeping on going for a few years yet. Tre may have to get back-up though as he has such an energetic performance, not sure how long he can keep that up.

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have to get it off my chest somewhere… for the last few weeks I randomly have been having weird anxiety that GD will never do as big of a tour as they did for Saviors ever again. And the last time I saw them (Citi Field 2024) I had this bizarre sinking feeling of “what if this is the last time I see them live.” It sounds silly as I type it out but I can’t help it! Y’all please tell me I’m not crazy and other people have had this same thought 😅 I know it’s unreasonable but damn it’s hard to watch the guys get older!

"do you have the time *COUGH* to listen to me whine about my broken *COUGH x2* back and my enlarged spleen"

Sweet find! I cherish my trilogy box set. I got it from the Canadian store for like half off.

I'm not super into them but I wanted a few for my collection. I thought they would release regular packs but since they did expensive ass box sets, I bought a few individual cards on eBay for like 1.25. highly recommend that route because you can get the exact designs you want. I remember DESPERATELY searching for that episode because I didn't have cable at the time 😂 now I gotta find it again!

Billie Joe has said the only way he’s leaving this band is in a coffin. Artists like McCartney, Dylan, and the Stones have proved you can tour well into your eighties. That might be a bit more challenging for Green Day given the type of music they perform but if there’s a will, there’s a way. Intermissions, acoustic portions of the set, there are so many different ways of going about it. I don’t worry about a “final tour” anytime soon. How many final tours have Motley Crue and KISS had? The love and joy of what they do isn’t going anywhere. They’re friends. This is what they’ve done since they were teenagers or even before. It’s the only thing they know how to do really. Make music and perform it. They’ll do that as Green Day as long as we have all three members with us. And their music will live on forever.

I agree, I haven't seen them yet despite how much I want too. No one told me they were in my city at the time they were there.

To get Billie out of the band you „have to put him in a fucking coffin“. And as long as the band exists they will do shows, they love it. So I‘m not anxious about that. I‘m just missing them right now… (Besides, being in the fifties doesn’t feel old! I know that….😅)

lmao i cant imagine what great grandpa billie will sing about though

Won't lie, I jumped at the chance to see Roger Waters back in 2011. I didn't think he'd ever tour the US again (wrong), and I was damn sure he'd never play The Wall front to back again (right) and didn't want to miss the chance to see the most important album of my life, the best album ever made, played in full by its co-creator. But was I anxious about missing it? Well, yeah, a little, as evidenced by the fact that I almost skipped an important conference in order to see it before being given the ok to expense the Denver tickets and take a trip to Phoenix to see it the next week.

Me too. I have never seen anyone live because I always have so much going on, and I can never save up enough money to get decent seats nowadays. But I am not gonna worry about if I'll ever see Green Day live; I will eventually, and I am sure Billie won't lose his spark.

Yah I was just like "okay.... cool way to get a nickname I guess?"

I haven't watched it in a while but man, what a time! I got the dvd/CD set for Xmas that year. After we opened gifts I rushed to my room to watch it. After that I would often pop in the DVD and just fast forward to my favorite parts (no man can eat 50 eggs, Billie sleeping, tre putting on eyeliner, vocal warm ups). BIAB is still one of my favorite live releases of all time. I'm a sucker for the documentary mashed with love footage take and this is what I want from live releases. It's kind of like Depeche Mode's 101 another fantastic live film.

I had a weird feeling during the Hella Mega Tour. The 21stcB Tour in 2009 was my first Green Day Tour and that tour was the point for me to go „yep, they‘re my favorite live band“. I never had a doubt during the trilogy and RevRad tour. But then covid began and after a long wait they started the Hella Mega Tour in 2022 in Europe. And don‘t get me wrong, it wasn‘t a bad tour (especially I really like FOB and Weezer), but I didn‘t like the short set and EXACT same songs (maybe they changed Waiting/King for a Day with She and Pollyanna. Btw fuck you „rock n roll all nite 😂). I thought „ok, they‘re still my fave Band and I‘ll go to as many shows as I can, but we‘ve already seen the peak of their live shows“. And you know what? The Saviors tour prove me wrong. It felt like almost the 21st Tour where they changed a little bit during in the middle of the set and towards the end of the set and got a little bit more spontaneous like they used to during 21st/RevRad. Sure Billie isn‘t 35 anymore and won‘t jump around for 2.5 hours a day like he used to. But he still sounds amazing and I‘ve seen a lot of bands in their 20s/30s and Green Day still kick their ass today. Am I afraid to see an announcement for a final tour one day? Oh hell yes, I‘m scared. But I think they got 10 years at least and I think Billie has a lot to say during these shitty days in the world

the feeling is real. But when it comes to this and the million other things I'm anxioius about ALL THE TIME (lol) I try to remember what I can control and what I can't control. There's so little that I can control that it's a relief to let all that go (but it takes practice, it's not a "now that you've read this all you're problems will melt away" situation). I missed years of them touring, pretty much from after the 21CB to the FOAM era, because of being mental (not in the fun way) and that's a huge regret that I'll always carry. Now I put money away for "Green Day" so I will hopefully have enough money to see them more that once if I'm lucky enough to get to see them on tour again. It's really all I can do

That is very true 😂 welcome to the fandom!! I absolutely LOVE how many new fans joined in the Saviors era! I suppose I should focus on feeling grateful for how many times I have seen them over the last 20 years ❤️ I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day too! as Mike said in that bass interview last week, he’s a race car not a pace car 😂

Knowing my best friend got to see them n i didn't makes me all a little more anxious about it :') i haven't seem them yet as a very new fan (march 2025). As they get older i also get that same anxiety thinkin i'll never see them even once, lol. Maybe never even in a cardboard box i'll see em. But... billie is restless. If he breaks his back playing i know he's probably gonna come out on stage on a wheelchair still rocking the hell out
