I run a (semi-)popular Green Day blog on tumblr and after the AMAs someone sent me a (hysteric) message saying how awesome they thought their chant was, that they cried watching it. Because it made them, as a non-white non-straight non-male person, feel safe, and how good it makes them feel that Green Day will always speak up with no fear (I mentioned this in the AMAs thread). I basically just validated their feeling and listed a few things they have done or said... and thousands of people shared it, saying things like "I had no idea" or "I'm going to start listening to Green Day again" and "thanks 14-year old me" and "time to look for my old cds". I don't know, as someone who loves Green Day very very much it makes me so happy that people are finally realizing again how awesome they are.

Everything. The entire discography. Play for 8 hours. I'll bring sandwiches.

I'd buy the 35$ worth of stuff just to hang the wrapping paper on my wall like an epic poster.

From Jimmy Kimmel show

I never really liked Green Day merch but I'm seriously considering buying this http://greenday.warnerartists.net/eu/fresh-dookie-t-shirt.html

Stop When the Red Lights Flash is actually a line of Elvis' That's All Right, a song they covered for the iTunes Deluxe Version of 21st Century Breakdown. It does refer on a metaphorical level to Billie going off the rails, as does the whole of Dos!

Says a sheet so I'd assume that's all it is. Pretty cool little bonus if you're already buying something. Reminds me I still have half my free sheet of GD wrapping paper from Kerrang a few years ago.

i want that fucking wrapping paper so bad but i can't figure out what to buy

I thought for like year or two that it was Elton John's one

That set where they played 43 songs is crazy! Only song that isn't there is Welcome To Paradise, other than that they hit so many deep cuts in that set. Be quite lucky to attend that one.

My niece was 3 when I joined this forum. She's now almost 14 and that freaks me out

Where women glow and men plunder?

I think it's quite unevenly lit, there is much more light hitting one side of his face.

I think Billie was having problems before the Trilogy, I think his time in New York from the Musical probably contributed, this might have been said before, I maybe totally wrong but it seemed to me he was letting out so many demons back then, he seemed to be partying pretty hard with the Cast, people around, I remember he said he finally found friends but with this also comes lots of destruction and hangers on because of who he is, It must be hard for him to not trust people and let them into his life, for any famous person it can be very isolating. I do wonder if he has an addictive personality so whatever it is he gets hooked on it eventually drags him down. I think the Trilogy (and I also have mixed feelings about it) got him through from whatever it was to now, I am glad it happened, he's lucky he has his talent and has this avenue to explore every single part of who he is and he can get things out of him, I am glad he is not afraid to share it with us, one of his most endearing qualities is his obvious vulnerability. he's human he shares it with us warts and all and for that I will always be thankful he went through the Trilogy. Probably just put this in the wrong thread haha x

Green Day is the band we deserve and need right now http://mashable.com/2016/11/21/we-need-green-day/#P3MlolauZkqR

Thank you! There's been so many interviews so it's hard to remember a lot of them

He said it during the SiriusXM Town Hall thing they did.

Billie said in another interview (wish I could remember which one) that he wrote it when they were on the 21stCB tour.

This week, Green Day stopped by the UK for a quick visit, picking up a Number 1 Award for their chart topping album Revolution Radio. http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/best-music-pictures-of-the-week-green-day-madonna-little-mix-more__17156/
