Magazine and Book scans (+Stickers and Patches)

[Karl Karlson]

Hey party people (at least I hope that's what those young folks today say),

So I've been a fan for a while and have been collecting some stuff over the years and besides doing scans of artwork I also like to scan magazines and books. Especially this year I focused on a lot of Japanese mags I wanted to share since not too many people outside of Japan have seen these or people from outside of Germany have seen the German mags I also have.
Since I always wanted to have the American Idiot tour book they did (actually "just" tour rehearsal photos and dates) and since it's AI's anniversary, I wanted to share HQ scans of those as well.
Since I'm a perfectionist I edited the pictures to be as close as possible to the original mag or how it "should" look digitized, these took a lot of time and I wanted to share as much as possible at once with you.

There's still stuff to scan and/or edit. Here's a short list of what's coming next:
Warning Tour Book, Crossbeat 2001/12, Guitar Breakers 2004/10, Crossbeat 1995/11, Crossbeat 2000/08, Visions 2009/05, (maybe) Billboard 2009/05, etc.

Well, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hk68uJ_YwpQBby3nlLWhRAWU6_8vdAkE?usp=sharing

Enjoy!

This is awesome,thank you very much

[ThibautDookie]

The Insomniac German promo are so cool! Thank you!

Love seeing promo material for Insomniac!

[jengd]

This is amazing, what a labour of love! Thank you for sharing.  All we need now are translations from someone!

[Mollyluna]

Yes, here! 🙂 If you want the translation for a specific passage, just ask. Translating all of it might be a little bit too much though... 😉

[jengd]

Anything you think might be new or noteworthy would be most welcome! Thank you.

[Mollyluna]

When I have the time, I will see through all these articles. Let's see what I can find. A lot of them are from BRAVO, this was a youth magazine of... let's say not very high journalistic quality... But maybe there are hidden gems!?

[Hermione]

This is fantastic, thank you!

[Mollyluna]

Okay, just for fun I had a look at the first listed article. It‘s from BRAVO, the quality as expected. The author describes Billie‘s clown outfit and clown behavior in detail. You get the same information just by looking at the photo next to the text.

Next there‘s a description of the band‘s behavior on stage which at the time obviously consisted of „spitting like llamas“ with the crowd spitting back. Again a lot of detail here you don’t really want to know… 🤢

Finally some false background information: the guys were all expelled from their highschool in Berkeley in 1987, and Tre is two years older than Billie and Mike.

Might be better if I only write here when I find a real hidden gem… 😅

That would be great, and sensible! Thank you.

Little update:
I just noticed that I forgot to upload the first 3 images (incl. the cover) of "Rockin' On" from 2005/05.

Now added:
"Crossbeat Special Edition" from 2010

Just to be clear, some things are incomplete like some of the Crossbeat Special Edition, which are pretty thick books in comparison and I didn't scan straight interview pages of those books and of some Japanese mags I scanned those pages as well, since they are fewer.

[The Grohl]

This is so great! Thanks so much for sharing

 

[Karl Karlson]

Just added:
Bravo 11/1995 (second page only), New Age Punks (1995), Crossbeat 05/1998, Visions 05/2009, Crossbeat 03/2010 Bonus Book, Crossbeat Special Edition 10/2016, Japan 2025 Tour Flyer

Coming soon (re-discovered scans from around 2015):
Several BRAVO articles from the 90's, Access All Areas (1996), Visions 11/1997, Access All Areas 10/2000, Visions 10/2000, Hard Rock & Metal Hammer 09 or 10/2000, Rolling Stone Germany 11/2000, Gitarre & Bass 11/2000, Hard Rock & Metal Hammer 12/2001

[Karl Karlson]

Today I got some things I found in my GD picture archive I scanned years ago and just put it away for myself:
Some Japanese promo stickers, some album promo stickers, postcards and a few patches I rarely see on ebay. There are some scans of album ads and some pages of songbooks!
I also added some scans of vinyl bootlegs.

To make it easier on everyone I included the file list for those here:

Nah, that would be too much of a hassle for me since I have too many time consuming hobbies, but I have seen a lot of stuff in your collection I don't have - I'm very jealous

[Karl Karlson]

Update:
The files with the name "1995 - New Age Punks" were now identified as being part of the story "Punk" and "New Age Punks" in the Magazine Music Life from May 1995, so the file names were changed accordingly.
Today I received the parcel from Japan I mentioned earlier containing 11 magazines, 10 of those featured Green Day (partially on the cover) and I just scanned them all. So if you're interested in cool photos and interesting ads, stay tuned. There will be updates in the next weeks. I try to only update when I have uploaded a bulk of images.

Just added:
WARNING Tour Booklet (this is quite large and a little tricky to scan and edit, took me quite some time, but I uploaded it all for you ) -> "Green Day Warning Tour Booklet" in the folder 2000-2008

I shared this in another thread, but back in March I acquired this Japanese guitar magazine that features Billie's gear and an interview from the nimrod tour. The publication is called Cool Guitar - Modern Rock, issue is November 1998. I scanned the pages and translated the article to the best of my ability. Enjoy!

interesting, i wonder it and Favorite Son would have gone on the album had either one or both been included
Edit: holy shit this tracklist is like, super different
no Rebel, Are We and St Jimmy havent been split yet, Letterbomb is still called Clusterbomb and the album is divided up into chapters like 21CB and When It's Time closes out the album instead of Whatsername

I just recalled another thought about the tracklist when I saw it: Maybe "When It's Time" and "Favorite Son" were considered as bonus tracks for Japan (since Favorite Son is waaaay down there) and they decided against it. Who knows
