I know people with millions who would shoot themselves if they didn't have other depending on them and the happiest person I know doesn't have two dimes to scrape together and lost his fiance at 22. I don't mean to preach, and I know your comment was benign but I am feeling transcendent today here as I do my weekly read through the posts. Damn How can you be broke and having lost a beloved yet be happy. I wouldn’t be able to do it probably. How strong you have to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Article from NME about Matt Healy playing with GD when he was 13 (another article spawned from other recent interviews): https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-1975s-matty-healy-reveals-he-played-bass-on-stage-with-green-day-aged-13-2612009 "I met them years later and told them the whole story and they weren't remotely interested" Will Richards 7 mins ago The 1975‘s Matty Healy has remembered the time he was brought up on stage by Green Day to play bass with them when he was just 13 years old. Speaking to Zane Lowe for a new interview with Apple Music, the frontman recalled being one of the lucky fans that the band pulled up on stage at every show. “I played with Green Day once,” he told Lowe. “So I was like 13 and they did that thing where they get kids up on stage. And I was at the front and then I got up and played bass with them.” He went on to reveal that he recalled the incident to the band when he met them many years later. “I told them the whole story and they weren’t remotely interested. So yeah.” _____________________ No idea if this is another new interview with Tre or not as it isn't available to the UK/Europe. I posted another Talk Radio interview with Tre the other day ... https://alt1053.radio.com/blogs/dallas/tre-cool-joins-dallas-on-green-day-day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also gone on and even mentioned being interested in the band and supporting them. Just another excuse of a sub-par using GD for attention.

I didn't get why he mentioned that they weren't interested part tbh but I remember Billie mentioned him in past as a guy from The 1975. I think he already knew the band and just didn't know him or didn't remember his name. I don't know when exactly he had a chance to talk to them but don't really think they ignored him right away.

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Another article here about GD in PA: https://eu.ydr.com/story/news/2020/02/20/green-day-makes-some-fun-stops-lancaster-county/4825034002/ Green Day makes some fun stops in Lancaster County It was just a regular Wednesday night in Lancaster County until Green Day showed up at a couple of local entertainment venues, according to Lancasteronline.com. Members of the Grammy award-winning band started at Decades Lancaster for some food and bowling before belting out some karaoke songs at the Belvedere Inn. It was all to celebrate frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s birthday. He turned 48 on Monday. Sid Barnete, who hosts the karaoke night, said on Facebook that Armstrong sang David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust,” drummer Tre Cool sang Hall & Oates’ “Sara Smile” and Frank Sinatra’s “Summer Wind.” There was no word why Green Day was in the area, but it could have something to do with this year's Hella Mega Tour. Green Day will be performing at Hersheypark Stadium on Aug. 16 with Weezer and Fall Out Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I was looking at all the Green Day releases and the sales numbers. And you know what, even their worst performing releases have done well. Tre is their least successful major studio album and it sold over 62,000 copies! That's huge! Even their compilations and live albums chart well for what they are. But let's go back further. 1039 sold 55,000 copies. Kerplunk an astounding 4 million! Dookie - 20 Million Insomniac - 2.1 Million Nimrod - 2 Million Warning - 3.5 million American Idiot - 14 Million Breakdown - 1.5 Million Uno - 450,000 Dos - 267,000 Tre- 218,000 RevRad - 700,000 FOAM - 42,000 (so far) Bullet - 700,000 Awesome - 25,000 Woodstock - charted at #28. Superhits - 2 Million Shenanigans - 183,000 Favorite Band - 100,000 American Idiot Cast - #1 Demos - #1 Supervideos - 100,000 Cuarto - #26 The Studio Albums - charted #49 Most of their EPs charted. Poprocks and Coke didn't chart anywhere that I can find, but I'm sure it charted somewhere in the world. Same thing with Maria, I Fought the Law and Shoplifter, although I know for a FACT that they had some success with that cover. It was the #1 itunes song back when I was your age, sunny! So even their flops charted. How many of your songs have charted? I guess what I'm saying is this: Everything Green Day puts out makes them money. If you don't like it that's cool. But even the worst album sells are netting them at least half a million. So......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Vote Green Day vs Simple Plan - https://neiuindependent.org/15191/arts-life/first-round-green-day-1-vs-simple-plan-16/ Here at the NEIU Independent, we’ve organized a tournament to determine which band ruled the mid-to-late 2000s, otherwise known as the MySpace Era. A generation that gravitated toward rock and its various subgenres, the mid-2000s were defined by the emergence of punk, pop punk and emo, three subgenres that experienced peak commercial success. While rock and its subgenres no longer monopolize the airwaves, the bands that propelled punk and emo to the tops of charts possess a resiliency that keeps them near and dear to the hearts of listeners. This first round matchup is between Green Day and Simple Plan. Green Day Self-described as “God’s favorite band,” Green Day is credited with helping popularize the punk scene in North America. Following the commercial success of 1994’s Dookie, the 2000s saw Green Day furtively mature their sound, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Active Rock Charts with their seventh album, American Idiot. Featuring hit singles such as the eponymous “American Idiot” and the introspective “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” Green Day became a cultural icon, solidifying their spot atop the rock mountain and embedding their name in the very soul of punk rock.

Popular Post JardyOfSuburbia Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 So, I work for Fox Sports Ohio/SportsTime Ohio and I received an email today that Green Day is our artist of the month for March. Super excited to edit some Cavs/Indians highlights to some songs from FOAM. Here’s what the email said: We’ve cleared four songs by Green Day, off their new album, Father Of All.. for use for all Fox Sports Programming from March 1st 2020 to March 31st 2020 Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, CA, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 70 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative streams. Their 1994 breakout album Dookie, sold over 10 million and achieved diamond status, is widely credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock, catapulting a career-long run of #1 hit singles. In 2004, Green Day released the rock opera American Idiot which captured the nation’s attention, selling more than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Green Day’s thirteenth studio album Father Of All... was just released on February 7, 2020. Their current single, “Oh Yeah!” Is rocketing up the charts with over 7 million streams, follows the lead #1 smash single and title track “Father Of All...”. This summer they will be embarking on a MLB Stadium Tour alongside Weezer and Fall Out Boy. Approved Tracks (vocals and instrumentals) Father Of All… Fire, Ready, Aim Oh Yeah!
