Hey @That Dude, I think we've found your burner account.

I think it's a little bit annoying lol. Not everything is linked to 1972.

Nice shirt too

Not sure if anyone is watching the VMAs but they're showing Cheech and Chong on stage and Cheech is wearing a drunk bunny shirt.

What say you about these allegations, @That Dude?

You are probably right but there is plenty of footage of him stopping playing to call out/remove fans who are behaving like assholes at other shows.

On a similar theme to the CDs versus streaming conversation, am I the only one who prefers paper tickets/print at home tickets over e-tickets? I can see how e-tickets are quick to get into the venue and it saves postage of the tickets, but some people like to keep the paper tickets from the concert or are worried about accessing e-tickets at the venue. We had e-tickets for Bryan Adams 3 months ago but none of our devices were picking up a good enough Wi-Fi signal at the arena (which Showsec employees at the arena admitted isn’t great) so we had to queue to get paper tickets at the box office. We’ve since got into another gig at the arena with screenshots on my phone of the e-tickets, but I liked being able to choose to print my HM ticket at home over an e-ticket as I could keep it as a souvenir (not to mention I knew there wasn’t going to be hassle at the venue with paper tickets).

This is the talent show: Rod's was Sweet Children first gig, took place in October 17, 1987, with Raj Punjabi on drums

Oh man I hope that’s what they’re teasing and it’s not just a Cuatro reference because this is a Trilogy era clip. I even more excited for another docu than I am for new music.

From Billie's story

No, I love collecting old paper tickets. Only got E-Tickets for Hella Mega. For upcoming shows and Rock am Ring it‘s still papper

I’m hoping church on Sunday becomes a more regular slot in the set list

My pettiest unpopular Green Day opinion is that it irks me that Billie gets a feminist icon reputation online for the dropkick… He probably got drunk and fought some guy and someone made up the story that it was to protect a girl from being assaulted and obviously it’s cool, he gets positive attention for it so that’s good, but I just don’t believe it’s true. I think he was just drunk and angry and took it out on some dude.

Nice to have a Billie sighting again. Glad he's still alive!

One of the hashtags says "musicdocumentary". Looks like there might be something else coming beside the album after all 🤔

Just a fun show with friends

Why would he need to "warm up" when he's been playing shows all year?

I say they're a rock band who's punk at their core.

It all depends on your definition of pop punk. Some considers pop punk any form of mainstream punk rock emerged from the 90’s punk rock revival. In this case Green Day definitely belongs here. Others use pop punk to define those 00’s bands born from the commercial success of 90’s punk rock bands, usually having an even more polished and accessible sound. In this case Green Day sits in a different bucket. There is a clear generational, musical and stylistic difference between Green Day and bands such as Sum 41 or Simple Plan, so if we really need to use labels, I think it’s fair to have different labels for them. That said Green Day developed a quite unique sound during the year (remember how easily a certain bunch of kids which rhymes with land trolled us by replicating it?), and in the last 15 years got heavily influenced by other genres, mainly power pop. So hard to answer.

sometime a dead thread is a good thing when there nothing new

With all the hashtags they put in the teasers, I’m surprised none of them are hinting at possible song titles. Maybe 1972 will also be the name of the first single.

I just love Green Day’s sound whatever genre it is

Someone who was there commented on the reddit thread. It seems to have happened the way you describe.

I find the no screenshot thing to be weird. I've always taken screenshots as a just in case (my phone doesn't always like the reception at Sox park). I've never had an issue with doing it this way, and this year was the first time I've heard any venues say no screenshots. How do they even tell the difference unless they try swiping your phone? If they did that for every person, it'd take forever for everyone to get in.

I have read most books about them and think they all have errors.

My expectations are as high as Billie's voice in the Father of All single.

Good to know I'm not the only person in the world who still buys CDs lol

Green Day is Green Day I compare them to no other. And frankly I don’t give a sh** if they are pop punk or punk rock…. when a song sounds good a song sounds good. They have a lot of good sounds.

Depends which album you’re referring to

Pissed the Bed is my new favorite Green Day song, so don't discount the good ole Mayu Yan just yet. As far as it being their "best in years".....yes, I agree. It's better than their entire discography except maybe Father of All. Allegations Smellagations. You forget the deluxe deluxe deluxe super mega unicorn deluxe shenanigans edition of the new album, with beloved tracks such as: Public Eye. Siren head. Hardcore Breakneck Pyscho Rap and a cover of Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf, which is 30 minutes long and has some elements of the Midwest Medley which is interesting because apparently we or you are of midwest origin. They also cover Panic at the Disco's Middle of a Breakup and combine it with THunderstruck by AC/DC.

He ended up replying to someone saying he has gigs from 1989 - about 1994 so no he doesn't have this show. If a recording of this show exists and had been in the trading world, it would be definitely known about. Sadly I don't think a recording exists, and if one does it's either lost, or in a Green Day vault that will never see the light of day

Thanks for that, really appreciate you putting me straight. Teach me not to take books literally. Got several on Green Day's history, they can't even agree on discography chronology. Always best to trust this community first. Thanks again

Someone reposted this on my Twitter and it's so cute I'm reposting it here

It was, there’s a short video clip of it online (I think he did Stay). Rod’s was the first SC gig.

I buy CDs or digital copies and that's it. I don't stream music either. I'm so glad Green Day is not working with Butch Walker again! He just seems like such an ass on top of not bringing out the best in them artistically.

I always loved green day and probably always will, it doesn’t matter what genre they are to me

I still buy everything physically. I wouldn't know how to stream either

Am I the last music fan on earth that buys music still and doesn’t stream it??

Because I'm bored.... and someone mentioned the alphabet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHWsLMaL3Tc The only point on this is that ABC BaBa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star use the same music. If Green Day wants to reuse a line that they wrote in more than one song, they are doing it for emphasis.

I want every single and album announcement until the end of their career to feature the words "THIS IS THE NEW"

Green Day is one of my two favorite bands and I am very comfortable saying FOAM is bad. Their worst by an order of magnitude. I liked the title track and Meet Me on the Roof, the rest can be chucked in the bin. 1972 has a very low bar to clear for me and I expect the boys will with ease.
