  4. I don’t appreciate the judgemental comments. I have been an observer on this forum for a long time, a life long GD fan, and when I had this piece of info I wanted to share with you. I’m not going to disclose exactly which band member told me what. If you don’t want to believe then don’t and wait for the news.

  6. Just ordered a 21st Century Breakdown cd that comes with a book of the album art/lyrics off of EBay. It should go well with the trilogy books I have. It’s probably my 2nd most favorite Green Day album and I remembered wanting it back in the day. Just a little Christmas gift to myself.

  20. On this day last year (1 December 2023), Green Day recorded their set for Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. And as we know, the "MAGA agenda" lyric change that Billie has been doing for years upset a lot of conservative viewers. More photos: When I made the list of all the shows for this project, the internet told me the 2019 Dick Clark thing was recorded on the 1st of December too, but apparently it was the 23rd of November. I'll add it to that post. 20 years ago (1 December 2004), Green Day played American Idiot at the VH1 Big in '04 Awards. More photos: 24 years ago (1 December 2000), Green Day played the Palaghiaccio di Marino in Rome, Italy on the Warning Tour. 29 years ago (1 December 1995), Green Day played the Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, FL on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (1 December 1994), Green Day played the Convention Hall and Civic Center in Philadelphia, PA on the Dookie Tour.

  21. While I don’t think OP is trolling, I do think someone at the show they went to who they overheard it from could’ve been trolling. Either that or it’s a compilation album. I just don’t see them releasing and promoting a new album next year after just releasing Saviors and having a pretty stacked schedule the first half of 2025. They’re not a band that pushes out new music that quickly and also, I think they’re really genuinely enjoying this period of their career and celebrating Saviors/Dookie/AI.

"The band was half an hour late. There were no cellphones, so we had no idea what happened, but the audience stayed put until they arrived. Turns out, they got arrested in Irun, at the French-Spanish border. Shortly after the show started, Billie's guitar broke. A guy from the audience, who also played in a band, lent his guitar to Billie. Despite the arrest jokes, the concert was very good. They were quite good, but no one imagined they would go so far." — Deia 34 years ago (24 November 1990), Green Day played U-Gene's Bar in Pico Rivera, CA. ------------ 25 November 2024 On this day 11 years ago (25 November 2013), Foreverly was released. 27 years ago (25 November 1997), Green Day played The Rave in Milwaukee, WI on the Nimrod Tour. "Last night was a GREAT show! Before the show started they had Billie's kid Joey on the stage with a mini guitar for a photoshoot! I went to the show where Billie got arrested for mooning the audience! He came back with the full intention to fuck shit up. He promised the crowd the nudity of at least one member before the show ended. Billie had the crowd chanting The Beautiful People. Then ever so popular Paper Lanterns came on, Billie told everyone to throw their clothes up on stage. He put them all on and said, 'I'll do the oposite of last time. But at the end of the show it will be one long strip show!' Tre went flying by with his pants down on one of those speaker carriers! After F.O.D. they proceeded to demolish the stage, and that's when Billie came forward to sing Good Riddance. After the show I gotta meet Tre. He said I and brother were cute! Then Mike signed a picture my brother drew of them. He said that he liked my pants and that I looked good! Overall it was the best night of my life!" — Lindsay 29 years ago (25 November 1995), Green Day played the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (25 November 1994), Green Day played the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on the Dookie Tour. 33 years ago (25 November 1991), Green Day played Gaztetxe in Andoain, Spain. 35 years ago (25 November 1989), Green Day played at Swain's House in Benicia, CA. "It was at Swain's house. Susan made spaghetti. There was booze. It had rained a while bunch the days before and the driveway was dirt. It was muddy. Swain's band, The Happy Hour, didn't end up playing. We had a good time. Everyone was there. If I remember right, this would have been around the time Fifteen was slapping together their first record. Jack and Jeff rehearsed in Swain's garage. Writing songs, etc. My memory is shot, buddy. I remember we were a bit nervous to play which is why we didn't. I guess because Green Day was playing. I was loaded. 15 would have played all of the Swain stuff. I barely remember. I'm pretty certain this was Green Day before Tre. Yeah. So, early stuff, and Billie always did a few love songs for the 15 yr old girls." — Keith Alford They also played at 924 Gilman Street that day.

  32. I mean, I am pretty sure this guy was just trying to heckle the comedian, but the sad part is that there are unhinged people on social media who believe this crazy stuff. I seem to remember someone on Reddit about a year ago who was saying they had some kind of "claim" to Green Day's music, like the band had stolen songs from them. Also saw some batshit more recently on reddit where someone was making all kinds of messed up accusations against Fall Out Boy, including that Pete Wentz didn't write a bunch of his own songs and had stolen them from someone. It's scary what people will believe. Also, I am sure we all got the email yesterday, but here is the whole glorious ten hours of the Green Day Yule Log. I hate the holidays, but I would totally stare at this for 10 hours. 🤣

  37. It’s actually fascinating to watch. So many thoughts: 1. I can watch Billie for ten hours easily 2. I’m surprised among the three of them Mike had the hardest time sitting still and doing nothing. My money was on Tre but he only starts losing it about ten minutes in. 3. You can tell Billie’s brain is busy. He has songs going through there for sure. 4. Mike’s trying too hard to be funny, he kind of misses the point of the fireplace video. It’s supposed to be boring and uneventful. 5. Pretty sure Tre’s not wearing pants 😳 6. That bunny suit really is disgusting.

"As with the show in LA, Whip It was played right before Green Day came on. Billie, Mike, and Tre ran onto the stage. Everyone went wild. Then with no intro, Billie starts with, 'Here we go again,' then Mike and Tre join in. After like the third song, some prick in the audience started throwing shit at Mike. Mike warned him by stating, 'If you throw anything else, I'm going to beat your fucking ass.' Well, after the next song, Mike jumped into the crowd to do just that, beat that kid's ass. Guess who it was? It was Mark Hoppus from the band Blink-182. (What a dick!) Anyway, they played just about everything I could have asked for (save for Eye Of The Tiger). They even brought a kid up on stage to play Knowledge with them. Billie is hilarious. He made fun of Bush, Matchbox 20, and especially Marilyn Manson. He even sang The Beautiful People over the bass line of Longview. At the end of the show, as always, Mike and Tre trashed the stage while Billie played around with his guitar playing some nasty-ass chords. Then he closed with Good Riddance. I swear to God it brought tears to my eyes. It was the best show I ever seen." — Rick Savage 29 years ago (8 December 1995), Green Day played the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, TX on the Insomniac Tour. 32 years ago (8 December 1992), Green Day played Thunder Bay in Berkeley, CA. 33 years ago (8 December 1991), Green Day played Vort'n Vis in Ypres, Belgium. "I was there, interviewed Billie Joe and Tre for my zine. They were really nice, we talked for 30 minutes on the first floor. And their concert was excellent! They played for 45 minutes, good level of energy, they seemed to enjoy themselves. I went to a lot of gigs at the Vort'n Vis at that time and I definitely respect them more than many of 'DIY' hardcore punk bands playing drunk, being very sloppy and touring Europe solely for sightseeing and free beer." — Philippe Klur Interestingly, someone else said the opposite: "Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool and Billie Joe Armstrong acted really 'cool'. They weren't very friendly, mildly put. Were they having a 'green day'? Or were they expecting a fancier venuer? Never saw any photos of that gig. The only trace of their passage seems to be the entry in the Vort'n Vis guestbook." — 90's Vort'n Vis 35 years ago (8 December 1989), Green Day played 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA. More photos:

  45. On this day 24 years ago (2 December 2000), Green Day played in Florence, Italy on the Warning Tour. 27 years ago (2 December 1997), Green Day played DV8 in Seattle, WA on the Nimrod Tour. "I used to teach at John Swett High in Crockett, California. And I had this kid in class who became a rock star. I remember Billie Joe well. He used to sit in my math class on the third floor of the ancient, run down brick building in the back of the room right next to the window. He had a perfect view of 'Tight Wad Hill.' I don't remember if he was a good student ... if he did his homework or got good grades. But I do remember him as a good person, he got along with just about everyone (except, perhaps, the vice principal) and he was pretty cool, mature for his age. My biggest disappointment is that he once invited me to come and see his band, Sweet Children. I didn't go. I don't remember why. Now, with Green Day's success, I'd kill to have seen that band. Anyway the first time I saw Green Day is when they played an arena in Seattle in 1995. Someone threw a shoe at Billie Joe and he got pissed off and cut the set short. I liked the Nimrod tour a lot more. My wife and I saw Green Day play a small club on Dec. 2, 1997 and the show kicked ass. Green Day just wasn't made to play arena shows. Anyway, I'm a big fan. I wear my Green Day shirt to school every now and again. And I've got a Green Day poster up on the wall. It's cool to tell my students that Billie Joe was once one of my students. A few of them don't believe me, oh well. Hey, Billie Joe. I bet none of your other teachers have asked for a back stage pass. Next time you come to Seattle, what do you say? I'd like to party with a rock star and a former student!" — John Goar 29 years ago (2 December 1995), Green Day played the Auditorium in West Palm Beach, FL on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (2 December 1994), Green Day played the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on the Dookie Tour.

  47. A 33 year journey sharing my life with this awesome band. Relived through your emotionally charging photos. Tears are runny down my cheeks. Sending you a virtual fist-bump ❤️

  48. Or they are really just passing on something they heard 🤷‍♀️ I mean, even I, a fervent Green Day fan back in 2009, didn't remember the whole Hillside Dance debacle and that suspected name. So for a troll to dig up that very obscure piece of trivia 15 years later seems unlikely.... they either really are a long time observer of the fandom and with a really good memory (and then why troll? and also, starting a harmless rumor online is hardly trolling), or they really heard this rumor going around. Doesn't mean the rumor itself has to be real though. My hope for the end of the Saviors tour is that they release a full live show, or a compilation from several shows mounting up to a full setlist - I choose to believe this is what the rumor they heard was about
