The latest Green Day item you bought

[arcadiagay]

Since people always talk about how addicting it is, I will add that I only have one tattoo. I got it back in 2014 and haven't really felt the itch the way people were warning me about. It's only this year I actually have started to want more tattoos.

[GuitarPunk94]

i have zero tattoos, but in january i will get 3 tattoos in a one-day-session

 i hope it wont hurt too much

one will be the puzzle from biffy clyro, and the enter shikari triangle, and the third one being a mix of everything with green day's disappearing boy in the center (basically a guy with a "disappearing" effect)

i didnt want sth that everyone has, like the heartgrenade or the dookie letters etc (still cool tattoos!), and i feel deeply connected to the disappearing boy song, so i choose this for my first green day tattoo (wont be the last one probably) 😊

Depending on where you want the tattoo it often doesn’t really hurt that much.

yeah, i heard of that. i'll try it out when i can and see if i like the feeling or not... 

i think it'd be more about sensation and not pain in my case

Oh thanks! Somehow I didn’t find that. So when I‘ve finally figured out how to best post pictures, I might move there.

Can recommend it!😄 But I warn you, it’s addictive….

I‘ve already got the Kerplunk flower. And sometimes in the future there will be Punk Bunny!

Love it!! Where did you get your latest one

I guess you mean which body part?😅 The heartgrenade is on my right underarm above the wrist. In plain sight…😁 And I wanted the line „I beg to dream and differ“ with it but that was too long and I didn’t like it and decided to look for something else. So on Thursday I will go to the tattoo shop again and get „Rage + Love“ above the grenade.

I already had the fresh current things!😂

And the FBHT album I simply ordered from a German online shop, normal price for a vinyl.
Don’t ask what I paid for the other one though …😅 I found it at Discogs.

I have a question for those that buy physical media (vinyl, CDs, etc.). Do you actually listen to them, or do you still listen via streaming but just like having them in your collection? I have a couple CDs, but I still just stream the music when I listen since I’m usually in the car or working or doing something that makes it inconvenient to use physical media.  But I’m always tempted to buy more CDs or vinyl anyway (even though I don’t actually have a record player).

I collect vinyls, and in the evening I sometimes put them on and that feels cosy somehow and a bit like a celebration of the music. 
Apart from that I use Spotify. And in the car we‘ve got CDs.

Today's technology allows me to download all GD stuff in MP3 onto my moby (cell) all safely stored in a cloud, in preference to streaming. And that's really cool. But, imho, the output quality on mobile phones just ain't the same as vinyl. The sound quality of vinyl is something else, there's no comparison, again imho.

So, out and about it's headphones on with my moby. But at home, it's vinyl time, speakers on full blast, jump up and down and blow my fuckin' head off. Awesome.

Also, maybe it's me, but there's a sorta affinity when buying a vinyl record like a photo, a snapshot in time.

Back in December '91, after seeing GD live for the first time, I couldn't wait to get hold of my copy of Kerplunk from my local underground (literally) record store. The feeling of queuing up to collect my copy from the guy behind the counter. My whole body is shaking with excitement. But first, the inspection. The guy carefully takes the record out of it's sleeve making sure not to touch the record surface. Shows me each side of record. But wait, there's a mark there, is that a scratch. Fuck that, another copy please, it must be perfect. Leave the store with my copy in shiny plastic bag. 

My personal vinyl copy that would be a part of me and change my life for ever. Body, soul and spirit. Both the music and the lyrics. More valuable than a bar of gold.

It's scratched to fuck now, cover totally trashed.(Got a new copy though). And still brings back, not only the thrill of an amazing new sound at the time, but what was going on in my life at the time. And this feeling repeated itself every time I bought each new GD record,  in vinyl of course.

I download the CDs onto the computer and listen to them that way. My record player has needed replacing for a long time so I can't play the vinyls I collect currently

i actually listen to them... i like to listen to them on cd/vinyl before i stream them unless i genuinely cant find it anywhere. i don't know what it is but it gives me a better feeling. i also really like playing my records, since usually i listen to music on my headphones, plus i like speeding things uo and down... its cool, maybe i should be a dj... 

anyways, i do stream my music a lot though. i unfortunately dont have a lot of records and most of my cds i love, however im missing a ton like insomniac, the trilogy, warning, etc, both on vinyl on cd...

I do both, but it is more convenient to listen to streamed music. I have a lot of CDs. Yes, I listen to them a lot, and if there is a nationwide blackout and no electricity, I still have a CD player and batteries. . For vinyls, yes I have a record player, but it is just more of a collecters thing. I only buy records if its an anniversary album or a cool print, otherwise i could just buy the CD for less or stream it.

I believe it supports the band more or the record label more to buy CD's, and who wouldn't want to support their favorite bands

We have 100s of CDs which we loaded onto a pc and then iPods  (yes, I know but they were brilliant in so many ways) but iTunes/Apple music has become such a nightmare that last year we switched to streaming.  I really hate how Spotify etc treat artists but what is the alternative?  We still have some iPods and hubby has been looking into going back to an old version of iTunes but it’s a pain.  I am torn between the convenience of streaming versus physical media.  Physical media will always be better to me but the bulk can become huge.  As @Dingle said, nothing beats the whole experience of buying that album, looking at the sleeve, reading the notes but goodness it’s easier to move a smart phone around!

Christmas presents to myself. Finally got the colour vinyl Dookie box set. Even with a set of pin badges and shipping it was less than half the price of the UK store in the sale of the US store which is insane.

Both. When I’m on the go of course I stream everything. In fact, streaming is great because my bootlegs get folded into my library so it’s really the most complete version of my collection. Vinyl is for when I’m at home and really have the time to dedicate to giving the music the full attention it deserves. 
 

For me there’s no beating the experience of getting a record off the shelf, putting it on the turntable, hearing the needle drop, listening to it, holding the artwork, reading the inserts. It’s a vibe, man.
