Green Day anxiety & getting older

[lucky_stars]

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have to get it off my chest somewhere… for the last few weeks I randomly have been having weird anxiety that GD will never do as big of a tour as they did for Saviors ever again. And the last time I saw them (Citi Field 2024) I had this bizarre sinking feeling of “what if this is the last time I see them live.” It sounds silly as I type it out but I can’t help it!

Y’all please tell me I’m not crazy and other people have had this same thought 😅 I know it’s unreasonable but damn it’s hard to watch the guys get older!

Knowing my best friend got to see them n i didn't makes me all a little more anxious about it :') i haven't seem them yet as a very new fan (march 2025). As they get older i also get that same anxiety thinkin i'll never see them even once, lol. Maybe never even in a cardboard box i'll see em. But... billie is restless. If he breaks his back playing i know he's probably gonna come out on stage on a wheelchair still rocking the hell out

That is very true 😂 welcome to the fandom!! I absolutely LOVE how many new fans joined in the Saviors era!

I suppose I should focus on feeling grateful for how many times I have seen them over the last 20 years ❤️ I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day too! as Mike said in that bass interview last week, he’s a race car not a pace car 😂

To get Billie out of the band you „have to put him in a fucking coffin“. And as long as the band exists they will do shows, they love it. So I‘m not anxious about that. I‘m just missing them right now…

(Besides, being in the fifties doesn’t feel old! I know that….😅)

I understand where you come from. 
I think the feeling is 100% real, and at some point life will happen for the band members, the shows will be less energetic and the "dad rock" will escalate.

We also have a tendency to compare them now and in the past. Yes, Billie isn't jumping as much around on stage and he uses a teleprompter, and they don't play intimate shows that much anymore. 

But, some things we know are the truth:
1. They are as tight as ever

2. They show no signs of not wanting to perform 

3. They just played a tour where they played 2 albums in full + even more songs from other albums

4. They clearly love what they're doing - trust that feeling!
