Omg I'm so sick of outrage culture. I get it. A lot of our beloved celebrities have done horrible things. And yes that should be called out. But now it feels like so many people on the internet try to dig up shit people to find any excuse to cancel them as if to say look! You can't like this thing now! I'm sick of people trying to cancel someone over fake or small things.

I highly doubt they will stop to making new records soon. Billie seems to be a workaholic composer.

I can't go into a venue with my studded leather coat because it could be a weapon even though the studs are dull as shit but someone can bring a whole ass mannequin leg. Wtf.

🤣😂🤣

At this point of Green Day's career, I doubt we are getting records more often. I think that every new record could be their last and we should prepare for that

It was packed and too physically difficult to achieve. Too much promotion all summer, they practically did an entire tour just promoting the record before the tour and the TV commitments were relentless too. It contributed to Billie's drug abuse and collapse. Over the summer they went to Europe then Japan, then England, then back to Europe again and then nonstop shows and appearances in the states with no breaks. They didn't know where they were or when and it screws with your ability to sleep among other things.

Taylor Hawkins was born in 1972 (he and Billie have the same exact birthday), so it could have been a reference to that.

Could be, but they've historically been quiet over November and December (presumably for the holidays), so, again, don't expect anything until next year from an announcement perspective. On the other hand, there's no reason why tour dates couldn't get nailed down, promo plans developed, music video(s) shot, etc. Not saying this will happen, but if they're aiming for an early in the year release, planning would start soon.

I got Uno the day of it's release. Those couple of days after the album came out were really great days to be a fan. It's a very standard Green Day album, nothing more but nothing less. It was a breath of fresh air after 2 rock operas with 5 years apart between them. It was good to have them back just 2 years after the big 2010 tour.

He’s gonna hit 1-2 of those predictions eventually, and then the whole forum is going to think it was one of the band members all along lol @GDFan2019 - all love ofc keep doing your thing

Narrator: That was not the last time he had to say it

It's gonna be a hit for sure. I have total faith in Rob Cavallo and CLA, this going to be Green Day how they're meant to sound and it's gonna chart and everybody is gonna love and we're gonna be like fuck yes 👌 They won't reach AI level again obviously, because rock isn't as big as it was then -- but like, I reckon it's gonna be at least as successful as recent mainstream rock albums. Trust me people Green Day are fucking coming back and I'm so hyped. Imagine RevRad had AI level production -- that would've gone down as a legendary Green Day album. That's what we're in for

I think that if 1972 be a big hit, they won't release another record for a long while. Maybe this would even be their last if that was the case

Exactly. There has to be more than one level to it. I do think some lyrics Billie has written were in poor taste and don't reflect well on him, but that doesn't mean that it's comparable to people getting cancelled for committing actual crimes etc. As Anita Sarkeesian said: “It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects.”

I just feel that everybody seems offended by everything, fine if you are genuinely upset by something but it means creeps start getting away stuff due to the old "cried wolf" thing, and also serious things start lose importance.

Oakland Coffee will be the focus of Fall

I feel the same way! I fell in love with UNO instantly and it's still my favorite of the trilogy. I have such fond memories of this era because it's the first time I was active in the fan community. I joined Idiot Nation, I officially joined GDC around that time, bought tickets to my first Green Day concert, and started chatting with other fans. I was so happy. I still remember getting UNO at midnight because of my pre-order. I stayed up alllll night listening to it, trying to memorize every song. Of course, Billie's rehab stint brought the mood down. I was really sad and worried, but despite this this era of Green Day still has a lot of great memories for me. And it felt like such a redemptive moment when the 99 Revolutions toured opened up in my state and Billie was overcome with emotion because we waited for him and were just happy that he's back on stage where he belongs. Gah what a great time. I've been wanting to write about this for a while. Trying to get that in the works for a fun article.

Whenever I see that a certain member posted last in this thread, I know that I haven't missed much and I just turn around and leave 🥱

I’ll say it one final time: 2023.

Lets start a rumour that Blink 182 are recording a nice album called “1973”..

After 1972 comes out next year, I'd expect the next one to be out by 2026

I hope to be there around 9/10am too. if you guys or any other fans wanna wait up in line for the pit🤟

One of the changes they made after 2012 was fire their booking agent for the inhumane schedule they had

The first leg of the 21st CB tour ended on 19th december 2009 in australia I believe

I had a perfect record until they made a mistake the other day. It was clearly Maria, but it said Road to Acceptance. 😕

Not sure if anyone plays Heardle, but found a Green Day one! https://kerplunkle.glitch.me/

SO NOTHING IN 2022?!?!?! 😡

And they only have 2 shows left!!! The Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, and the F1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas on the 21st!!!

Yeah, there's no real interest to engage with things critically, it's just "this person/thing bad because i said so"

Yes, I think a week later and a month before he went to rebab. I think it shows how dangerous the situation was for him especially his pain

It was kinda weird to see Billie Joe back then. You knew something‘s wrong before he went to rehab. they cancelled a show in Italy in 2012 because he went to the hospital for one day. And in Mönchengladbach during one song (I think Letterbomb) he just lay down for 2 minutes and screamed in his mic like something hurts 😕

Drat! Why won't the world let me enjoy the lies!!!!! Luckily I kept the browser window open and just screen shot it: September 26th at the Drunken Pup in Fayetteville, NC. Maria American Idiot Bouncing off the Wall Horseshoes and Hand Grenades Geek Stink Breathe She Nice Guys Finish Last Let Yourself Go absolutely zero people attended and I hear Tre Cool got drunker than any human being has ever been. Billie gained 70 pounds for the show and Mike Dirnt was in really bad spirits and also had dreadlocks for some reason. NOTE: I did have someone on the internets ask me to say that I was there so this wouldn't get taken down, which is hilarious, but kind of goes against the Dude code of conduct. I couldn't lie about a Green Day concert. I CAN spend the night singing El Scorcho and Precious Metal Girl and drink and cry a lot though. Maybe a bonfire as I.....wait for it....it's on topic, I swear......wait for 1972 to release.

You can never stop GDFan2019. Don't even try.

It's okay to be excited and optimistic, I am. But when you're 0 in 143 in your predictions you can take a break.

That's what he's talking about too.

I get fed up having to carry my purse/phone etc to a concert, who the hell takes a mannequin’s leg 😂😂😂😂

Green Day will be headlining the 2022 F1 U.S. Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas on October 21! Get your #USGP tickets TheCircuit.com/F1

Not that anybody cares, but I don't really think they should push anything back. The point I was (poorly) trying to make was that all signs point to '23. Yes, everyone is allowed to speculate because that's what this forum is about, but to what end? Also I was in a pissy mood 😄 sorry, love you guys

Dad bod!

Nah, I'm a big supporter of GDFan2019. We need more optimism and excitement and wild predictions. Keep up the good work!

They have all these bag restrictions now yet this was totally fine. Nevermind that you could bludgeon someone with it

The internet is full of these videos. If they’d added funny music it could have gone viral

Obviously the answer must be Green Day 😂

Shit the show is the day after my 30th birthday and I haven’t seen the boys since 2017… I might end up going… Edit: bought ‘em! Really can’t imagine a better way to celebrate my birthday.

I GOT EM!!!!! OMG I can't believe it. I forgot how nerve wracking it is buying Green Day tickets. Just a heads up it is a bit misleading because it says tickets for the day are $59 but that's just a grounds pass. You have to buy those first and then there's a $79 ticket you need to see Green Day. You have to buy both. Then with Ticketmaster fees and all it's more like $150 but I got em!

Someone on reddit said its a full show from 8-10pm
