Speaking of the likely plans in the works for next year’s tour, if you’re like me and you’re interested in behind the scenes tour logistics, this video does a great job of explaining all that goes into getting a major tour from city to city. It’s pretty insane:

“Anywho, Billie Joe Armstrong is the DILF-est DILF of all punk-rock DILFs” 😂😂😂 Well yeah 😊

1972's cover is going to be the warning: album with mustard text and font. They are also digitally replacing Mike Dirnt with John, which is baffling and also completely fictional. It's going to be called My Heart's In 72 and will have no bass guitar. Just a lot more drums to make up for it. 1. Bonk Dat Clown 2 Rip 3. Doritos Are For Sissys (Maybe Forever) 4. Digital Whiteout 5. Our Orange Promise 6. Dead Rats (featuring Laura Jane Grace) 7. Unfollow That Dude, This Crap Poop is Annoying and Cringe 8. Hey! (Failed Single) 9. We Love 10. Return And on topic... Fingers crossed that it comes out tonight. Billie Joe doesn't know when stuff comes out, he's just some singer dude. Either 2022 or 2024. 2023 is wrong. If you don't put a colon in warning: you aren't a real fan.

And all that was working on one tour in one country, factor in passports, visa’s, vaccines, borders, time differences and Covid and sheesh! 🤯🤯

Sometimes they do sometimes they don’t. These days they tend to allow at least a day or two between shows but in the old days it was normal to schedule a couple of shows on consecutive nights. Someone in the comments mentioned that larger acts also have two stage setups and have one set up in the next city at the same time as they are playing in the current one, and then leapfrog that stage to the city after that. I think Green Day does that too.

They used to day two shows in a row, day off, show on repeat for months on previous tours. Crazy.

Back in '91 listening to all sorts of amazing shit, still felt there was something missing. Just something I could relate too and shut out this fucked up world. Then it happened, on the radio one day, an awesome sound entered my ears and sent my brain as high as a kite. Dry Ice by some band called Green Day. The intro, that sound from Billie Joe's guitar 'blue". I'd never heard anything like it. Thank you Green Day you changed my life for ever. Dry Ice will always have a special place in my heart.

Not according to Butch Walker. It was their biggest success since AI! 😂

Very likely. These things have to be planned out very far in advance. With Billie saying “Can’t do this again until next summer” or whatever it was at that show, planning is 100% already happening. But again… 2023.

Every teaser leads me to believe this is something very meaningful to them and they’re giving it 110%!!! FOAM was clearly just them making music, experimenting, and having fun

Man, listening to the new RHCP albums this year really makes me wish the entire band cared as much as the chili peppers do when it comes to new music. You can tell each member of the band is really trying to bring something to the table and I haven't felt that way for a green day album since American idiot or maybe 21st. Not to say they don't care entirely but there are parts that feel very I don't know phoned in. Every album. Be it either Mike's bass line, to Billies songwriting, to the production it feels like they aren't ever as Mike would put it "firing on ALL cylinders." There's always one or two cylinders that arnt going off at any giving point lol. I'd say, and this is sheer speculation in my end, but Tre is the only one who actually gives a shit completely for every album Here's to hoping 1972 has the missing passion

I think It was Radio City (Liverpool). I remember they had an hour show once a weak playing awesome punk/alternative, mainly from across the pond in US. I remember first seeing Green Day live towards end of their first? European tour down the road in Wigan I think, or was that later '92. Those days are little vague now, can't remember what I was on. Well remember before then getting CD version of Kerplunk. Awe man, fuck me, I couldn't stop playing that album I was well gone.

Yeah I noticed some shows are on consecutive nights if the 2 cities are close enough to each other. For example, last year, August 19th in Pittsburgh, then the 20th in Philadelphia.

This video talks about getting to the next city within the next 21 hours, but at least Green Day had a day off in between each show to allow for travel

Maybe they expect their 51st birthdays to be the real milestones 😜 Anyone can make a big deal out of 50. So punk.

Ya know what....forget 1972....might as well call their new album 2023.... *Throws phone out window*. 😅

Billie says a lot of things. Sometimes he changes his mind only seconds later. *Flashback to BIAB* Billie: "This song's called St Jimmy!" Billie: "Starry nights, city lights coming down over me..."

He mentioned this last week. Nothing until 2023. I love your optimism, but at this point the thread is just going in circles when the most reliable information we have is that nothing is going to happen until 2023. I'd love for this to change between now and then, but we should all just accept that they're taking a well needed break after Hella Mega and these past few festivals.

Good thing Twitter gives you the option to translate tweets. In English, it says that there are rumors their management team has already started negotiations with promoters from different countries for the next tour!!!

Is that the one with the four different covers where the band have orange bandanas? I have those but no idea where they are and no scanner Actually no you're looking for something different, they were 21CB era. Just ignore me

Guys, it's definitely not gonna be a double or triple album. They're never going to do that again. I'd honestly be shocked if we got an album that surpasses 1 hour of length ever again

Billie with all his pillows 😄

Geek Stink Breath can't verify any facts from after AI Even the band themselves have a hard time really verifying release facts from when they were on Lookout Records. This is mostly due to production issues faced by the company at the time. All the records were assembled by Larry himself and when Op Ivy's Energy outsold the initial expectation Larry and a few volunteers were perpetually behind in assembling the albums. Fast forward years later and add Kerplunk into the mix and they were completely slammed. Green Day's sales accelerated quickly and throughout their life on Lookout Records Larry could never produce enough supply to meet demand. This probably lead to chaos and a lot of confusion. Those books and FAQs are mostly based off anecdotal info from people on the scene. Someone may have seen an EP before they saw the album despite the initial pressing of the album being released first or vice-versa. It really depends on what the band had available to sell at the shows when they arrived. Any hard release dates we do have are just the dates where initial pressings were sold and for 39/Smooth they didn't have many.
