Yes, this is pretty much what I mean.:happy: However, the Milton Keynes show is the only show that I can remember having these thoughts about. Although there's probably footage of other shows out there that I haven't seen that might give me this impression too (especially if it's footage from the AI era because I haven't seen many AI shows).

Could it partly be the way BIAB is directed? It's very stylistic and has a cool/artistic vibe that shows a slightly different side to the band and Billie than a standard show recording does.

Never thought about that before. Yes, it's quite possible.

^ 10 year anniversary of 21st CB, what :o that's crazy. I didn't think of that at all.

Yeah, I know! Though I've been a fan of the band since around AI, I didn't witness the full album-tour cycle (and of course I missed the build up before). That's different with 21CB, so it makes me feel so goddamn old when I think about it the fact that it'll be 10 years old very soon!

A completely random GD thought- has anyone ever seen a photo of Jason Freese without a hat?!

Same! Although I'm already tripping out over Stop Drop and Roll being 10 years old :mellow:

Totally, it's like realising your children have grown up!

I love the acoustic versions of Paper Lanterns and One For The Razorbacks live from WMMR in 1991.:wub:

Don’t ask me how I found this I have no idea 😂😂😂

 

This is good. :D I actually learned about Green Day via Weird Al's Canadian Idiot, so I guess it all goes full circle now.

@pacejunkie punk Ah, I see. Billie’s own ‘’hair colour wheel’’ simply broke last year and because he obviously forgot to get a warranty when he bought it, the wheel has remained broken to this day, stuck on black hair dye :lol:

Gotta love listening to SiriusXM and having Green Day on two stations at once. ;)

Actually one of my earliest GD memories besides the Seinfeld finale was hearing Weird Al’s version of Basket Case in a video to a Lost parody. So yeah, I feel you.

That’s the only logical explanation 😁

Is anyone else obsessed with Insomniac?! It was my least favorite album when I first became a fan (I was young and dumb) but now it's one of my faves. There are such great songs on it.

I love Insomniac but then when I first became a fan their punkiest sound was my favorite and I didn’t understand why people didn’t like that album. Want to talk about young and dumb? At the time my least favorite album was American Idiot! Until I heard it straight through and got that it was a concept album all I thought was why are these songs so damn long? 😂

Same here!:happy: It was my least favourite album when I first became a fan, and I didn't like any of the songs on it (I was a stupid kid too:dry:), but now it's my 2nd fave GD album and I love nearly every song on it. I am such an Insomniac fangirl.:lol::wub: The first 6 seconds of Brat is one of my favourite things in the world.:wub:

Yeah, Insomniac was definitely one of the hardest albums for me to get into, I think just behind 1,039 and Kerplunk. But now, I do really like it. Not as much as a lot of other GD albums but I'd say it's probably the 2nd best of their 90's albums, maybe 3rd. I'd still give it a solid 8/10. Panic Song is fantastic, Brain Stew is just a great song, Westbound Sign is catchy, Walking Contradiction is fun and has a great video. Stuck With Me is also cool. It's one of those albums which has a lot going on lyrically and I think if you look into the lyrics, it's great
