Seeing Billie's smile is the thing that can make me the most happy when I'm feeling down. It's surely not only due to the new chompers but during RevRad he seemed so happy, bless the photographs and people who got pics like these
this is my new fave ❤️
Loving all the love for Dookie, lots of lovely stuff going around, particularly liked these two.
I love Branden's bit about two types of people in the world! 😂
I get that they might be busy working on the new thing and didn’t want to drop everything to tour for the anniversary but at a minimum why didn’t Warner release a deluxe extended edition of the album on Spotify with unreleased tracks? I love when artists do that it’s a great way to finally let some things out of the vault and would have been a relatively easy thing to do compared to a tour. If not for the 25th when would you do it? At this stage they should be releasing Deluxe versions of all their 90’s albums.
They all seemed genuinely happy to be together on stage during RevRad. Their smiles have been infectious and when I saw them in Aug 2017, my face literally hurt for days from smiling after the show because they looked so damn happy to be doing what they love.
🍻 Here's to many more years of infectious smiles from these crazy guys.

I've put some other stuff in the Random News thread - I wasn't sure which to use! Like this one:
Sirius XM are going to be airing some GD archival concert recordings and playing from Dookie the whole weekend:

And Kerrang here on six reasons why Dookie is still a masterpiece:
I'm pretty sure something like that wouldn't happen again, festivals are so much more controlled and sanitised now and also Green Day's on stage behaviour is different. It would probably be a cool nostalgia thing. Maybe not living up to the epicness of last time would be a concern though.
When you run out to get coffee, Good Riddance is playing on their speakers, and you debate staying until the song ends even though you've heard it 10,000 times.
Same thing happens to me with Nuclear Family - 'I just want some action so gimme Mike Dirnt'
I love the fact that GD lyrics can be misheard to basically suggest Mike's a slut
