American Idiot 20th Anniversary Announcement + Holiday/BoBD Demo out Friday!

[Jon Benjamin]

They’re available already in AUS/NZ. Songs are written the same minus some drum parts sick to hear though!

[AnonymWarnerGermany]

Is it just me, or do the demos sound like they're just unmixed versions of the finished songs? “Holiday” in particular sounds almost exactly the same.

But cant wait for more news about the tracklist tomorrow.

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Radio Bagdad, Lowlife, everyone breaking down and just another year is songs I never heard?

It's cool they put the original title in their demo tho

[Jon Benjamin]

All of this and still no Cigarettes & Valentines

[Mato]

So Everyone's Breaking Down, Just Another Year and Lowlife are the only songs we know nothing about, right? Still, it's exciting! 😁

[Christian's Inferno!]

Extraordinary Girl doesn't have a demo, or is it just under another name? Maybe Radio Baghdad since that's between She's A Rebel and Clusterbomb/Letterbomb, though idk why EG would have that demo name?

Also I guess the tracks for the regular album aren't going to be combined for this new version then?

[Mato]

Someone on Reddit said the release date is October 25

[Jean]

Prayer circle for those of us who only buy CDs that they release a 4 disc version with all the extra content and not just 2 disc expanded version (I'm looking at you, Linkin Park!)

I'm optimistic because of the Dookie and Nimrod box sets but we'll see...

[Gwen Stacy]

Holy shit this is the big one! I was lowkey expecting to have to wait until 2034 for a 30th Anniversary box like they did for Dookie but I’m glad we’re getting this now. 
 

So stoked!

Radio Baghdad is Extraordinary girl

Right, I forgot about that. I guess the sitar intro influenced the early name of the song.

[monkeyupinspace]

maybe the original homecoming demo is shorter and the following songs in the tracklist are more fleshed out parts of the final song? and they merged them later?

very good guess but the song titles dont really make sense to be parts of homecoming. but since they are on the tracklist before whatsername you could be right.

[Yosuke Hanamura]

Omg, the full AI set from Irving Plaza!

[Alf]

I was expecting more

[pacejunkie punk]

What does the whole set contain? I can’t view the Apple music link either

 That’s what I’m here for!! This has always been far and above my favorite performance of theirs and while it’s not the live videos too, I’ll take audio! 😁

[GDFan2019]

OMG what if it includes the lost C&V sessions?!?!?!?

[BratReject23]

Is cluster bomb actually letterbomb?

[PhuzzyPhriend]

Just finished teaching and saw this! Very excited.

Yes that was the original title
