I used to journal when I was younger, so I'm able to track that stuff fairly easily. It's also my parents' anniversary, so I guess the date just sticks out.

these kids <3

Huh, this is an interesting topic to discuss. I can't come anywhere near an exact date for my green dayversary, but I can narrow it down. If Dookie was released in February of 1994 it was sometime between Feb-Sept of 1994. I'm almost positive it was summer, although it might have been spring before sixth grade let out for me as well. I know for a fact that I was already in deep by September when they played in my city because my parents wouldn't let me go and I cried for days. Longview was on heavy rotation on MTV/local alternative rock stations when I first discovered them, so if anyone knows when it first gained some steam that might help narrow it down even further...

I love that @stories and songs @MaraGreenDay and I were all beginning our love affair with Green Day in the same month . Although considering it was a few months after AI came out there's probably quite a lot of other people in the April 2005 club too

Today is the day I consider my Green Day anniversary. There were months leading up to it where I was getting more and more interested in Green Day, but April 5, 2005 was the official day that they wore me down and I decided they were my favorite band. I resisted for such a long time—I was all emo at the time and thought their music was too punchy and upbeat for me. I'm glad they finally broke me, lol. Happy Anniversary, Green Day. The past 12 years with you have given me so, so much happiness (most of the time ), and you've only gotten better with age. I'm so proud that they're my favorite band. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I don't actually know the exact date but I know it was between other events (when my workplace moved and my dad's wedding) so I know it was around April 2005. Being 19 at the time rather than a child probably makes it easier to remember.

How can you remember the exact date??? I only remember what year it was.

The end of an era

They are at mandalay bay. Nice hotel. Stayed there before.

I know (10 actually, not that small but maybe still too young for that kind of fun anyway come to think of it, I don't remember when and how I first heard fbht, I must have been 12 or 13)

Impossible you would have been minus 4

I regret that I wasn't around when 21CB came out. Or for Foxboro Hot Tubs. It must have been a wonderful time

I was given American Idiot and International Superhits on my 14th birthday in January of 2006, but that was after having been exposed to them and becoming a fan earlier in the school year (2005). And then my GDC date is June 2006, not long after that. This is a long running joke, actually. If you google it there are lots of comparisons. I swear, one of them (either Ryan or Mike) has acknowledged this at some point and I have a strong sense that it was on a Whose Line episode, but I could also be making this up completely. They have done Green Day "songs" in their "Greatest Hits" segments before, though. One was a Beekeeper one.

Just doesn't seem like the type of song they'd use for that though (whereas a fun upbeat one like Ha Ha You're Dead makes more sense).

Is this right though? I thought the story that Billie ran to his room after his father's funeral had been debunked and dies Mike not say, in Heart Like a Handgrenade something like "it's about time you write that one".

My anniversary is between March and April, don't remember exactly the day, but it was between those months on 2005 when I saw the Holiday video for the first time on MTV and it was love at first sigh. I can't believe it's been 12 years! I'm so happy I fell in love with them and stuck with them, it's been a lot like a marriage lol, a lot of happy moments and hard, sad ones, but I wouldn't change that for anything. They helped me a lot to be who I am today and I'm still learning. I'm just so happy they still around making beautiful music, I seriously can say that they're the love of my life haha, and I'm so proud of them. Happy anniversary, my boys we will renew our vows when I finally see you live

I have no clue what day I officially became a GD fan. But I wonder how many crazy fans have kept the receipts that they were given whenever they bought a GD album from the record store ? (I've still got all of mine). It might seem crazy keeping the receipts, but I've put them alongside my concert ticket and newspaper cuttings from my gig.

I roughly remember what year it was, it was either 2006 or 2007, all I know is that they were part of my emo phase and that it started with music class

Sort of. http://dyingscene.com/news/banner-pilots-adds-new-guitarist-jeff-matika-for-upcoming-europe-tour/

hE IS BACKKKK..bILIE'S muppets. "HEY, MAN"..I LOVE WHEN HE SAID THAT AT BEGINNING

I love that people always say what a nice, normal guy he is. And yes, he's itty bitty. They should have checked the kid's shirts.

Love it. Jason is so laid back. I can imagine Billie whipping out his puppet and the other guys probably groan and scatter.

Since it is on a man, it is a man's jacket. If it were on a woman, it would be a woman's jacket.
