Random Green Day Thoughts

[GREEN DAY IS MY LIFEEE]

Y'know, its kinda random but honestly i dont know the names of a load of songs on nimrod cause the CD i have is a recorded one so it doesnt say the names of the songs on it lmaoo 😭

My favorite Billie is American Idiot Billie, but I have a huge bias for that era. I think Saviors might come second, I just really like how healthy, both physically and mentally, he looks right now.

What an amazing question, but so so difficult to answer. There's so many times to choose from, this band's live shows and Billie Joe's songwriting has been so consistent and awesome over past 30+ years.

First has to be when I fell in love with GD through Kerplunk and seeing them live for first time at Wigan in Dec' '91.

 Of the many live shows I've been to, two  I'll never forget, 21st Century Breakdown tour at Wembley Stadium and AI tour at Milton Keynes. 2=

Out of curiosity, how many GD shows have you been to?

Nimrod  5

Reading festival 2 (don't really like festivals)

Warning 2

AI 6 (including trip abroad to Amsterdam, and found heaven at Milton Keynes)

T in the Park, Scotland.

21st Century Breakdown 6 (Wembley Stadium, oh shit, back in heaven again)

Trilogy 1

Rev Rad 5

Hela Mega Tour 1

Saviors 4 (including memorable surprise show at Marquis pub in London, as was in town for Saviors promo 2 days later, but was cancelled as band members where sick. I remember being so sad and worried until got news they would be ok, thanks to update on here).

Thanks for the journey GD.

Wow! That is a lot! And you answered what would have been my next question, which is if you had been to a show for every era since Kerplunk (sorry you broke your leg and had to miss Insomniac! hope it healed nicely!).

And I counted 44 (assuming the festivals are not included in the album eras, since you listed them separately). I'm a bit jealous... not only the amount of shows and basically from every era, but also some legendary ones (Milton Keynes, Wembley Stadium, Marquis .. you've literally been to the biggest and the smallest) 🥹 Glad you enjoyed reminiscing all this

This is going to sound like a that dude post, but just a new album idea for Green Day. A RHCP/Beatles/Post Punk, maybe even opera type album. Post punk can work sometimes with like a funky bass. Just not a mix of things I’ve totally heard before. Seems like it could a progression from Father of all or even some of Saviors.

One of the funniest things about making gifsets on tumblr is how people tag them lol. On my latest gifset of Billie he's been called both an angry dog and an angry rabbit. Not by the same person btw.
