The Whiskey A GoGo show was like a preview version and Weezer and FOB each got equal time (30 mins each I think) and Green Day got double (60 mins). I expect the same ratio for the tour (60/60/120).

I was thinking GD don't do many song requests nowadays do they? If they still did and you could choose one single song that they would play, what would it be? There are so many to choose from that I love or that they never play, but I would pick Whatsername (the full band version too, not just acoustic like it's been in more recent years). I know it's something they've played a good amount, but they haven't much anymore and I just love that song so much. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite GD song. It's just got so many different emotions in it and everything about it is beautiful. It would be a great one to end with in place of Good Riddance.

It would be cool to have official support for GDC from the band's management because let's be honest: This is the best Green Day forum out there and has been for years. I joined the Idiot Nation (back when it was still called Idiot Club) for a couple of years for the ticket pre-sale benefits and other little exclusive things that I forget, but their forum never felt like home. GDC is where it's at. My worry about this forum and GDA having an official backing would be that it might make it less fun and more commercial. It's free for anyone, though I do donate fairly regularly, and it might not be if it became official. The best thing to come of that would really be the financial support for the website. Although, if Idiot Nation dissolved then maybe that's an indication that they weren't willing to put the resources into keeping any kind of forum alive. GDC is so special because it's fan run by dedicated people who love Green Day. That's what makes it feel so much like a family. We can fangirl and weave wild conspiracy theories about leaked songs all we want and no one can tell us not to. Speaking of fangirling, look at him!!! I still much prefer the black hair, but he does look wonderful! I've so missed the floof. FOAM era was okay hair-wise so far, but this is some 21CB level floof and I'm in love with it! Billie looks quite trim too. I wonder if he's been working out to prepare for touring.

If Weezer get 60 then FOB will get at least 60 too

I'm planning to make a compilation video of the sweetest and cutest Green Day moments (mainly Billie content) that I can find, but I'll need help. I've found that most of the GD compilation videos you find are usually "funniest" or, ambiguously, "best" and they're all very similar. We all know the GD boys are hilarious goofballs, but I want to highlight their sweeter sides too, particularly Billie, to show what genuinely kind and goodhearted people they are. This kind of stuff is way harder to find. Not for the lack of it, but because it's hidden in show footage (often fan shot), random interviews, and other places that non-fans or casual fans aren't going to look. I've got plenty of videos to go through to look for this stuff, but it would be a huge help if I could enlist other GD fans to link me anything that particularly stands out to them, their own favorites, or anything they come across that fits the bill. I'll take anything because even though I might have it, I've got so much I may not remember or it might not be something I'd think of. The kind of content I'm looking for might be something like when Billie gave his guitar to a disabled fan, or when he stopped someone who was bullying/pushing people around in the pit, sweet stories the band members have told during interviews, Billie getting emotional while singing a song. Stuff like that. I wasn't sure where else to put this. It doesn't feel right for the GD Q&A thread because it's not a direct question about them it's more involved than a Random Thought. If there's a thread that would be better for this, please direct me to it.

30 max..

I'd check out a lot of the RevRad Good Riddance performances, like this one. I also remember the one where Mike and Tre were carrying Billie off stage, but don't seem to have it saved.

i expect GD to play close to 120min

It's at The Golden Bull! Must have been during Coverups that he took that. I'm so glad they're playing live again, even in a side band capacity!

But massively reduced level of illness!

I am so tempted to put a series of those cow .gif things on here but that wouldn't exactly be "auto populate" it would be more like doing things manually.... I want a picture of the fake cow too bad it was stolen..... there's a person down the street with a really awesome metal cow lawn ornament that makes me happy when I see it. I'll say it.... King for a Day is a great song and there needs to be more songs like that... done by Green Day. Hitchin a Ride is another one I thoroughly enjoyed. I don't want to get caught up in The Network...... media opinions can be a vicious cycle of misinformation.

The article didn't say (The Guardian) but we have given a lot of people Astrazeneca in the UK There was another article in the Guardian yesterday saying that people who have had Astrazeneca won't be allowed into Broadway shows because it hasn't received approval in the US (Edit - since me writing this New York State has reversed it's decision on this)

Rivers did a TikTok livestream last night and said they are playing a sixty minute set full of classic hits. So that confirms their set length. Also they will definitely play El Scorcho and are thinking they might highlight the Green Day line somehow for a reaction.

I guess I've been talking too much about the fake cow (whose name is Kevin) in my neighborhood. The cow has since been stolen (not by me, I swear). My guess is it heard about the Fink mural and headed over there.

Terrible idea not having a CD release for Love is for Losers album...

FFS I just want the Longshot on CD

Moved up 3 spots on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart, from 49 to 46. Also debuted this week on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at #36.

I recall Mike saying about that "Billie can play everything himself, but we (him and Tre) have stuff that he doesn't"
