“Holiday” pop radio edit

[twentyphanday]

while i was searching for some lost green day content, i stumbled across a thread on the Lost Media Wiki forum about a lost radio version of holiday. essentially, back then lots of alternative rock songs had to be edited in order to comply with the pop radio stations censor.

An example of this is Boulevard Of Broken Dreams which had one version which censored the profanities only, while the other had the bridge and solo removed thus making it a minute shorter than the original.
The same thing happened to holiday, the pop radio edit removes the bridge/bass solo after the guitar solo at 2:17 and comes back into the final chorus at 3:03.

i’ve seen recreations of the thing however from what I’ve read, that version of holiday is COMPLETELY lost. So i was wondering if anyone here possibly has it or atleast heard of it, I’m aware there’s a rule implemented regarding copyrighted material, but I’ve just been so CURIOUS about the entire thing since every discussion I’ve seen about it is from 4 years ago…
