Cabot_GRRL Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I just ordered Cometbus #54 in China with Green Day. I've been dying to read it and finally found a copy! What are your rare Green Day wish list items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you‘re right, it‘s not that rare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing design. Apparently only 200 pressings. Discogs estimated price 120 dollars. Not traced any for sale yet. I've noticed over years, if you don't buy a GD single when it's released, they soon become collector items, and up shoots the price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted March 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2023 The Dookie Converse are definitely rare in my size I have the Uno and Dos ones though so I'm happy. They'd be my must-haves if I didn't have them! There was merch for sale at the Costa Rica show in 2010 that I never saw anywhere else and haven't seen since. I'd love an official shirt from that leg of the tour. Also, this shirt that was for sale on the 99 Revolutions Tour: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Stacy Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The trilogy on colored vinyl and the shit-brown Dookie vinyl that came out in 2020 are on there. Oh and the Stray Heart promo single, I just think that’d be fun to have. Along with the American Idiot B-sides CD John Roecker posted a few years back… holy grail type stuff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really rare but it means a lot Oh so true. A small, insignificant, inexpensive item can sometimes mean so much to someone, that it becomes priceless. A leaflet that came with the BBC sessions CD, written by Steve Lamacq. It describes what took place during those sessions. Now when I play the CD I can not only enjoy the music, but feel I was there. Now money can't buy that feeling. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Insomniac1984 Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 I would say the Australian Waiting CD Single which has the Original Version of Maria. Also, the Green and Orange Promos for Walking Contradiction (Especially the Orange One), both have exclusive mixes, but I've never heard the orange CD one. WC Orange Promo And this is the mix for the Green promo. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC Orange Promo And this is the mix for the Green promo. Radio Version #2 is easily identifiable because it has a TON of added crash cymbal hits starting around 1:58 and then from 2:04 to the end. They're all in the right speaker and would require 3 arms to play . Once you notice it you can't unhear it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version in this video is from a third WC Promo (Which I own in my collection), and it's called RADIO EDIT #2, this is the same mix from WC Videoclip. The Orange Version of WC has the RADIO VERSION 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcj Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 GD have released so many singles, but you get so much more. Many come with live tracks and some with prev' unreleased non-album tracks, so value for money really. Plus, some amazing artwork over the years. The drawings from the Dookie era are awesome. If I had to choose fav' it would be 'Live Tracks' ep from '94, with drawing of dogs chilling out. Can't imagine what they're smoking. 😏 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from 2016 there are just a few (comparing to the 90s, when you can have 2 or 3 versions of a single... or even more). The Live Eps are memorable, too (Also, considering almost all of them were japanese exclusives... it gives a real feel of satisfaction when you get them in physical). Not all of them have a good art work, but the content (music) is fantastic!! It's a shame that EPs or the vast majority of singles are not available in Stream services. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleasedToMeetMe Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Would be super awesome to get a compilation of alternate versions/mixes like the Cavallo/Finn mix of 2,000 Light Years Away and the Insomniac version of Good Riddance 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac90 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 It‘s weird that the version of the official „walking contradiction“ Video is one of these mixes and not the album version 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance: * Keep Fishin' by Weezer (The mix from the videoclip is the Radio Version. It's available on Keep Fishin' Single) * I wanna be sedated by The Ramones (This is from a Ramones Promo of the song) * My inmortal by Evasnescence (The video has the band version of the song which I think it was a bonus track of Fallen album) * Long time gone by Chris Cornell (This one is available on Chris Cornell's Compilatory released couple of years ago and also in a CD single of the song) * Dammit by Blink 182 (The Drums starts a little bit before in the videoclip version and it's censored. The videoclip version is available and not censored in their Greatest Hits record) * Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden (Videoclip version is different than the Superunknown album.) That's all I can remember for now, but I think you get the idea 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac90 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I thought the drums dammit and Josie were rerecorded with Travis on the drums. But yes, you‘re right. I think „Dreams“ by Beck has also two versions. Especially older songs got a different mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
