I get that it's a 39 smoothed reference but why have billie and mike put two pictures on there instagram with the caption 39 smoothed?

Coincidence that they both decided to take pictures and the time was, or nearly was, 10:39. Probably nothing more than that.

What's the biggest crowd Green Day has played for? And I mean at a Green Day show, not Woodstock or other festivals. :)

Is the title of the song "Rusty James" making fun of the way Billie pronounces "Rusty chains" in the song?

The biggest show they've ever done was in 2005, at the Milton Keynes Bowl (UK). I think there were about 130,000 people in the crowd.

What festivals will have stream this year? Of course where Green Day will play.

Are you sure about that? That was over a two day period with 65 000 each night. I thought they had played larger crowds on the 21CB tour?

as someone already said it was 130 000 on two days. so 65 000 each. i think they had 60 000 on saturday at the Emirates

That's correct about Milton Keynes being 65,000 a night, and when they played there it was their biggest crowd to date. But I'm pretty sure it was more at Wembley Stadium in 2010, although I've never heard an official figure. The venue held around 80,000 but it wasn't full, I think it was more like 70,000 there which would make it more but I don't know for certain.

I thought there was something a while back that Green Day wouldn't sell their albums in Walmart anymore? Today I saw Dos there for sale.

i think it's just with 21stBD because they didn't want to change the lyrics but not sure. i've seen Dookie, AI and the trilogy there lately so no problem with them.

Well you see, it would be far too much effort for Wal-Mart to actually care about the music they stock, so they just reject a few occasionally (21CBD, In Utero, Marshal Mathers LP) so it seems like they at least try to keep it family friendly.

It's genius really.

Thanks, still think it's a bit odd :)

They sell In Utero but the back cover is changed and the title rape me was changed to waif me

It wasn't really that they didn't want the album to be sold at Walmart, it was just that they refused to make a "clean" version so that Walmart would sell it. They basically just said here's the album, it's up to you if you want to sell it as it is or not but we won't make a clean version for you.

There's clean versions of some their other albums out, and some just don't have parental advisory stickers because they're older, so Walmart's always sold their albums. It just happened to be that there's a parental advisory sticker on 21st CB so Walmart wouldn't sell it, but Green Day weren't planning on making a clean version since it's not even that explicit and wouldn't make one just to satisfy one store. It was hyped up to look like more of a "moral stand" than it really was I think.

The past albums dont have a PA tag not cause they are older (the PA tag been around since 1992) it just up to the band and label to include them most labels will just automaticly put them on

Ahh I see. What I mean by because they're older is in the 90s CDs with explicit lyrics often didn't have PA stickers, whereas now they always do. I guess back then bands/labels weren't as bothered about including them as they were a new optional thing, whereas now they're pretty much considered essential if there's even a hint of swearing.

Yeah back in the early 90's they were mainly going after rap they were overlooking rock and other genres

I know. The picture on the back is also no longer a bunch of fetuses and whatever else was there.

The wal mart version also has the Scott Litt mixes of HSB and Pennyroyal Tea which to me sounds better

Does anyone know if Green Day are going to do a second tour of the world? It just seemed to me that this tour was too short with Billie's rehabilitation and everything

No one can answer your question for sure, but

it's more than likely they will. You should be patient; it's unlikely tour dates will be announced any time soon.

Obviously I can confirm nothing, but as one the biggest rock bands in the world, I'm pretty sure they will.
