The Great Green Day Christmas party

[Dakke]

Because Santa is nigh upon us whilst his reindeers ploughs through the snow of Scandinavia (or Canada), I thought it would be nice to reminisce about two of the best things in the world: Green Day and Christmas. Please share anything that's related to Green Day and Christmas which bring you in the mood for the greatest time of the year. To kick off: our favourite Green Day Christmas song

Good god not this song again. This song made me worried that THIS was the kind of sound green day was going for in the future. I didn't truly think they'd sound like this.....but it still worried me.

It's clearly a Trilogy leftover given the style and filters, possibly recorded in 2011 as part of the 60 songs Billie had written for the Trilogy. Last year it was more a gift to fans than anything else? But I agree, it's vocally awful.

Speaking of which: I'd like to hear the dirty Christmas song demo's they recorded for Cigarettes & Valentines.

HOLY CRAP! Where this been all my life?!?!?! I'm in love! Where and when did this come from?

[St. Jonny]

I like the solo in Xmas Time Of The Year and I haven't heard that cover before either, not bad! Guessing that Christmas album will be coming eventually.

Whaaaaat?! Why I haven't I ever heard this?! And why don't release it? It sounds awesome!

Also, what about this?

Only Green Day song I am fine with only listening to once in my life

It was a voice message Billie Joe posted on the official website in 2001 or 2002

 I love all Green Day Christmas things . Just a shame those Christmas song recordings Billie posted (by playing them down the phone I believe) are such bad quality that they're almost unlistenable. To make up for it they need to release the "album's worth of dirty Christmas songs" they apparently recorded while making AI.

I feel so bad for young Billie that I can hardly stand to watch this

Same, it's sooo awkward 

[platypus136]

omg I didn´t even know there are Green Day Christmas songs! I love this thread

[MaraGreenDay]

My favorite one is that one with Jimmy Kimmel 

And not exactly  Green Day, but I really love that EP Billie did with his family, I love to listen to it at this time of the year

I was thinking about making a thread for that song lol. It's funny that people were worried that the new album was gonna sound like that. It's crazy how many times I listened to that song, not because it was good. But because it was new

[The Grohl]

I was pretty stoked when I heard that GD Xmas song. They hadn't released anything in a while so it was a nice treat. I never worried that it was the direction of the new album. Just thought it was a nice holiday tune.

[MaraGreenDay]

Confession: I just listened 'Xmas Time Of The Year' for the first time. I know bad fan, but omg I loved it!! 

Billie sounds kinda like John Lennon lol, I really liked it and now that's another favorite 

[End Of The World]

Along with Xmas Time of the Year, last Christmas, this song was playing in my house:

I know it's not GD. But I hope Ramones are invited to the "Great Green Day Christmas Party" too...

I remember not being too concerned about it, it is clearly a Trilogy leftover with extremely dominating vocal filters which blemished the Trilogy with that 'sterile' sound. I too was listening to it on repeat because it was simply something new after three years of no new music (not counting State of Shock). I was pretty desperate back in the day.

[Christian's Inferno!]

Anybody listening to this song today?

[unextraordinarygirl]

The Christmas songs by Green Day are amazing! I've never heard them before, but now I'm playing them over and over again. So cool!
