What version of Goodbye Ellston Avenue is that? Recess Records, Lookout, 1234 Go! Records?

Sorry for late reply, I totally forgot this site existed. Its 1234 Go! Records!

[Insomniac1984]

This KILL THE DJ PROMO CD from Denmark. It has 4 versions of this song.

I got my sister a Tre Funko Pop for her birthday cuz he's her favourite and it's also the best design of the GD Funko Pops imo. And I got my brother (their birthdays are 5 days apart) a green Dookie shirt. Also bought myself a Kerplunk patch like this and it's on my backpack

So remember when I said I usually steal Riot Fest posters? I nabbed one that was still hanging around on a pole. I didn't go this year but I still wanted one!

I think is the same track from Live Tracks EP. I'll have to wait until I get the promo at home.

I got 3 Green Day t-shirts

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

I picked up an old Music Week magazine from 2012 with one of the Green Day trilogy photo shoot pics on the front. There's no article inside but there's a full page advert for the show at Shepherds Bush Empire which I've never seen before. I didn't even think it had been advertised at the time. Will have to post a photo when I get the chance.

Very cool! That's surprising since I remember the show was very last minute

[Dingle]

@Rumpelstiltskin2000's post above got me thinking.

This is photo on eBay of Melody Maker from 1995, with my fav GD band photo on cover. Holy shit. I've still got the mag somewhere and kinda remember the article. 

Them where the days. News on GD was either via these mags, underground record shops or MTV. No internet, smart phones, laptops, streaming, downloading, or social media. 😯

If I can't find it I'll buy the one on eBay and post on here if anyone's interested?

There was a delay with the show starting before Tre came out and did that and no one knew why or thought anything of it. But it came out in an interview months later it was because Billie's people were concerned for him and had been trying to convince him to cancel the show and go to rehab, but he refused. The "sick" thing was a different show that was cancelled. This was all within a month before the iHeart incident. Had no idea at the time and it was an amazing show! Pit was crazy. Appreciate it even more now, Billie's dedication is admirable

Epic wall of death

I do think Tré came out that night and said (joking) that Billie had laringitis too!

What a night that was, I made a rash decision booking the trip before I had gotten a ticket, but thankfully it all worked out!

Great decision! What a crazy show, it was soooo hot and the pit was very rough and I've never sweat that much in my life lol. My sister passed out half way through and got pulled out but after 5 minutes resting she wanted to rejoin the crowd so we were over to the side in a quieter area for the rest but still dancing and singing and still joined in the wall of death too. I remember they ended with a fast song with no Good Riddance but that was kind of perfect for such an intense show. I think I heard some trilogy songs for the first time there as well since I'd been avoiding the live recordings before the albums were out. Unforgettable night!

It was soooo rough! I eventually had to move back a bit as I was dying in the heat 😆 but so worth it! 

Yeah we did get a good few of what were new Trilogy songs that night (I think this was like a month before Uno was released maybe?) and some rare cuts. It was so much fun, definitely one of my top GD experiences  

 

Going back to the latest Green Day item I bought - it was probably some concert merch at Riot Fest. I got the album artwork black and white t-shirt with all the different logos, and the tote bag (came in very handy for holding my multiple bottles of water that night 😂).

I want to order the Warning anniversary boxset but alas, I have a lot of bills to pay this month as I'm currently buying a house. I hate being an adult!!

And yes, in my memory it was a secret show. I wonder if it's because Music Week is a trade magazine for the UK record industry?

Yeah to me I thought it was a secret show so no advertising.

I don't know why but I was really excited when I found it

Oh I think I have that somewhere although who knows where! Back when Melody Maker was still a newsprint magazine as opposed to glossy.

That's really cool, must have just been done last minute I guess! I remember they gave out stickers just like that in the queue

Photoshot of each page so far, obviously the print is to small to read. Trying to find way to enlarge, not having much success. otherwise may need to type article for posting on here, sorry. Great photos of band though. Takes me back, 1995, what a time sharing my life with Green Day.

Billie Joe quotes: "We're not coming out with some tit-and-ass beerfest. We say obnoxious things and stuff, but I'd rather have my kid go to see Offspring than Poison."

"We've worked our asses off to get to where we are now, to the point where I'm probably a little bit mentally disturbed."

"We can't go, 'Duh, this sucks, the people paying to see me are the kind who used to beat me up in high school. I want my mummy.'"

Thank you so much! Those photos are great! And I‘d love to read the article but I think typing it would really be too much work for you. It IS rather long.😉
 

Seeing all this I envy you for having followed the band for so long. What a journey! On the other hand I‘m glad I wasn’t here in September 2012, it would have freaked me out…

I'm so happy for you now having Green Day in your life, and I'm sure it will give you many amazing years listening to their music and seeing them perform. So much to look forward to and also to journey back through their history.

I, like all GD fans, at that time, was so concerned and sad for Billie Joe and the struggles he was living through. Non of us are perfect, we all make mistakes, or  things go wrong for many reasons. Its called being human, who are we to judge. Rather than being critical, better love and support can put things right. I though he was incredibly brave to willingly enter rehab' to get well again. All I could do was pray for his speedy recovery and light a candle for him in church. I remember seeing a photo of him in rehab' with his wife Adrienne by his side. He was smiling at the camara giving a thumbs up sign. That was so moving.

Thankfully, he made a complete recovery and was all the stronger. That's all that mattered. And of course, as we know, he went on to continue writing and playing amazing music, that we where able to love and enjoy. ❤️

I‘m really very happy to have found them. The Saviors tour was an amazing experience! And I love digging in their past, music, interviews, videos etc. 

As for the meltdown, I certainly wouldn’t have judged him. But I have an inclination to worry too much about a lot of things. And I know I would have worried so much for his well being and been afraid of the band not making it. Not getting new music any more, or silly interviews or whatever…. So I‘m grateful it all turned out well, and at least that dark time later brought us amazing songs like Forever Now and Still Breathing.
