Here’s some food for your bowls. Guitar tech Hans posted a photo of the band’s rig and tagged it #greenday2023 and #greenday2024 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTWqE0P34r/?igshid=MjkzY2Y1YTY=

Obviously. Just like this entire thread.

I absolutely love this video of it. It's extra special to me because this is absolutely what I see when I hear the song (when the guy zooms in I was sat right about that spot in the stands and remember it so well ♥)

Right I have to say something here cuz this comes up pretty often and it's infuriating: Just because Brit posts some nutty conspiracy crap, doesn't mean it's acceptable or even necessary to come on here and talk shit about her at every opportunity. Cut it out. Y'all don't know Brit, or 80 and Sara, or Billie and Mike. Y'all don't know what anyone in the GD world thinks, feels, or gets up to in their spare time. So stop coming on here and posting your own dumb conspiracies about the personal lives of random women who just happen to be married to the members of Green Day, as if it has anything to do with the band, the album, or this thread. It's honestly embarrassing, it's exhausting to read, and it's nobody's business anyway. Just stop. As for the actual topic at hand cuz I'm confused and struggling to keep track with so much bullshit clogging up the thread - has anything actually happened recently other than the pics with CLA, and do we know for certain what they're doing with him? Or is everything still pretty much in the dark?

Sounds to me like a late summer/early fall album release and a tour that starts in the fall and goes through next year. Just a guess, but it sounds like the tour will straddle two years

That's a Lottabomb. I'm into it

To be fair, it's not that unlikely that, when you post pictures in a studio and post videos while listening to unreleased songs with your friends who are your long time producer and mixing engineer at the same time, that you are making a record with them 😄

Ugh my god he's looking so cute in the latest photos!! I don't even mind the blond this time around!

So many random Trilogy thoughts in my head. Take a look of this legendary setlist from Webster Hall 2011: What makes me extremely curious about this setlist is that this setlist says Hybrid Moments was played as 9th, which seems odd when you look the video from it. From it you can clearly see how Billie's facepaint is coming off and how he is extremely sweaty at this point already. Billie Joe sweats a lot, but in 2011 it was very uncommon for him to sweat that much after playing few songs. Sure, it's a club show, but footage from Red 7 shows how he is still looking dam fine after playing 16 songs. Because I'm really familiar with Cuatro due to watching it way too many times, I decided to go check footage from Makeout Party (listed as 15th song). Notice how his facepaint looks almost the same as in Hybrid Moments. https://imgur.com/wOlDpTW Alright, sure. His makeup could look exactly the same after 6 song gap (roughly over 20 minutes later if setlist before that would be correct). Still, a person who uploaded Hybrid Moments also uploaded Hitchin'a Ride! How does Billie Joe's makeup look during Hitchin' a Ride (listed as 23rd song)? https://imgur.com/v2TpedQ Strange, isn't it? It looks identical! To make sure Billie Joe's facepaint wasn't fucked up in the beginning of show, here is his beautiful face during Let Yourself Go. https://imgur.com/fXJ57Tg Billie Joe proudly announced how they're gonna play all the fucking brand new songs tonight and in that footage you can see how his facepaint is wearing out. Problem with this footage is that it's impossible to tell when exactly Billie Joe was giving this speech, but since he wasn't playing guitar on next song (footage shows 2 guitarists next to Billie) and he wasn't playing guitar on Makeout Party, I'm pretty sure this speech was given before it. https://imgur.com/K9OS78q Not that it matters, but during She (listed as 25th), his right side is still very clean compared to the left side. Sadly, left side is not visible on the footage, so we can't figure anything out from this; not even the guitar Billie is playing here (I swear I saw in one frame him having Gibson Les Paul which he also uses on Hybrid Moments, but footage is too shaky) https://imgur.com/Qz0LOYl CONCLUSION: Due to limited footage available and this show in general having confusion of whether or not Dirty Rotten Bastards was actually played in this show, I'm gonna go with theory that a claim that Hybrid Moments was played after Hitchin' a Ride (23rd on setlist) during encore section. It couldn't be played before Hitchin' a Ride due to Letterbomb's ending being in Hitchin' a Ride video, so I'm gonna go with after. I could be wrong (and odds are that I am indeed wrong) but it was fun to analyze the footage. Speaking of analyzations and assumptions.. WAS DIRTY ROTTEN BASTARDS PLAYED IN WEBSTER HALL? I'm gonna go with simple no as answer. I can't prove it, but I can explain why I think it wasn't. Green Day has released a lot of footage from these secret shows through various ways (documentary, teasers, those making album clips and so on) and in Cuatro's case, they showcased a lots of live footage of Trilogy songs that have not been released in full. Here is the list of songs that have been proven to be played through Cuatro: - Nuclear Family (Tiki Bar) - Wow! That's Loud (Tiki Bar and Red 7) - Fuck Time (Tiki Bar) - Makeout Party (Webster Hall) - Stop When the Red Lights Flash (Red 7) - Loss of Control (Webster Hall) - Let Yourself Go (Webster Hall) - Stay the Night (Echoplex) - Oh Love (Red 7) - Lazy Bones (1-2-3-4 Go! Records) - Kill the DJ (Echoplex) And here is the list of songs that have been proven to be actually performed live: - Carpe Diem (Red 7) - Stray Heart (Tiki Bar and Red 7) - Amanda (Red 7) - Amy (Tiki Bar) - Troublemaker (Shibuya) - Wild One (Echoplex) - 8th Avenue Serenade (Echoplex) - Drama Queen (Madison Square Garden) - 99 Revolutions (Irving Plaza) - Rusty James (Colisée Pepsi) - A Little Boy Named Train (Tiki Bar) - Brutal Love (Rock the Beach) - Fell For You (Webster Hall) - Angel Blue (Shibuya) - X-Kid (Rock im Park) - Walk Away (Leeds) - Missing You (Emirates Stadium) So that leaves us with songs that have zero proof of actually being played live: - Nightlife (N/A) - The Forgotten (N/A) - See You Tonight (N/A) - Baby Eyes (N/A) - Sex, Drugs & Violence (N/A) - Dirty Rotten Bastards (Webster Hall) - Sweet 16 (Tiki Bar/1-2-3-4 Go! Records/Webster Hall) - Ashley (Tiki Bar/1-2-3-4 Go! Records) - Gabriella (Tiki Bar) - State of Shock (Tiki Bar) Nightlife/Forgotten/SYT were never meant to be songs that were actually performed live, so we can skip those. I'm 100 % sure Sweet 16 and Ashley were both played, but both of those songs were played in shows where people didn't film that much (and were both smaller than Webster Hall) and Cuatro annoyingly didn't include any footage from those songs and IIRC didn't even play them at all. Gabriella and State of Shock share the same fate. This leaves us with Baby Eyes, Sex, Drugs & Violence and Dirty Rotten Bastards. I'm actually amazed that Baby Eyes has never been performed live. Not even a riff of it has been played. It was included in Demolicous and clearly they liked it enough to include in Dos! but for whatever reason they never played it live. I guess they deemed it as too weak or whatever, but even Ashley was done live. Interesting stuff. Same confusion can be shared with Sex, Drugs and Violence. They played it before/after Webster Hall and it's a catchy tune, but I guess Mike really didn't want to sing that jesus line live. Dirty Rotten Bastards was on written setlist that was also posted on internet, but this leaves me with a question. Dirty Rotten Bastards was heavily included in Cuatro! (two times, which only Wow! That's Loud beats with 3 times); surely they would have included even a small clip of them actually playing it live? They had this beautiful dynamic of showing these songs being made in their practice room and then actually playing it live (Oh Love was beautifully done this way) so surely DRB would've received the same treatment? It's over a 6 minute song. No short audio clips, nothing in Cuatro, nothing in Tre! announcement teaser, nothing ever since. What do you think, was DRB played live? Was Hybrid Moments actually played as 9th song on Webster Hall?

That’s when it’s used to best effect, in small doses like that.

Slim to none Yeah and it worked well on 21cb he used it similarly in parts of the trilogy but in some cases it just didnt have the same effect the one he does in Oh Love is awesome though

Maybe Chris from the Pop Disaster tour finally got even 😜

The falsetto is good in 21 Guns. But I just love how it's used on songs like Before the Lobotomy and Restless Heart Syndrome especially

God it was such an epic way to open a show! Was that one of the shows you were at? Regardless, it looks like you got an awesome spot to enjoy the whole spectacle. For me personally, when I hear the song I visualize the official music video and the way it brings the album art to life in stylized animation. Man I love that thing.

Yes he did, in the lyric, "We are the last call and we're so pathetic!!!"

I think the photo section of GDA is still out of action but there's a Tumblr dedicated to blonde Billie if that helps. Link here https://www.tumblr.com/blondebabebillie

Billie actually had quite a lot of falsetto or falsetto-like vocals on 21CB. He wasn't singing entire verses in falsetto or anything but it would pop up every now and then, even on some of the faster tracks like Murder City or East Jesus Nowhere and it sounded nice whenever it came up on the album

Nice to see him blonde again, although in some photos it makes him look like Princess Diana 😅

There is no time limit on greatness

Why on earth are you checking here every hour for news 😂😂

Interesting that he put a hashtag for 2024 and 2023....damn maybe will be waiting another year for the damn album

Hang on what??

Back in early '90s, most of the technology we have today was either in its early stages or did not exist. No smart phones, laptops, tablets. No way to stream or download music, no social media, and no internet at we know it now. So other than records and the music press, what was available globally to communicate music? MTV. The music video was the in thing for bands to present their music visually to get noticed. Following the tragic and sad loss of Kurt Cobain, there was a sort of music vacuum, and Grunge was getting tiresome. There were many bands around making music videos. A was well into The Offspring at the time and their videos. With the release of Dookie, the first music video I saw from them was Longview. The GD lyrics to live by, now visually presented as a story, came alive, even became reality and you lived it even more. This was new, this was attitude. And the ending, where Billie Joe trashed the couch, and shredded it with a knife, this was punk. And that's what you wanted to be. GD has made loads of music videos, I've downloaded around 70 videos, but not sure if that's complete. Today they still tell a story but are much more elaborate. So, my question is, do you have any interest in GD music videos, and if so, which is your favourite. It's as difficult choosing a GD video as choosing a favourite GD song. For me although Longview is special coz it was my first. I'd go for 21st Century Breakdown. I think it won an award, not sure. An amazing video.

I just spit out my latte 😂😂

I will leak the track list now cause I know everyone will agree anyway: 1. Letterbomb 2 2. Letterbomb 3 3. Letterbomb 4 4. Letterbomb 5 5. Letterbomb 6 6. Letterbomb 7 7. Letterbomb 8 8. Letterbomb 9 9. Letterbomb 10 10. Letterbomb (original remix)

ahh yeah

Why does the bellie gotta look so soft and squooshy tho, it's not fair 😭 Also it might just be the lighting but it looks like there's a mark/welt on his booty and my kinky-ass brain is just like

Yup...there ain't no drought at the fountain of youth, Billie!

Whoa hold up, logical thoughts are not allowed in this thread 😅

I like the idea of them saying that at every show. Sort of a commentary on farewell tours. It would be funny if they said they all hate each other now, but then go out as the Foxboro Hot Tubs around the same time, haha! I bet those Network guys would break up at the same time as Green Day just to further the speculation of them being Green Day.

Instead of releasing an album, Green Day decided to break up and reform in 2024

Anyone else think, due to how successful it was on Father of All…, the new album could be Billie singing in falsetto exclusively?

Jesus Christ who gives a fuck? Can we just leave Britt alone for god sakes?

So one can speculate, not conclude.

Random Green Day live performance thoughts are random. This is the best live performance of She in E Standard. Shibuya performance from the same year comes close thanks to the solo Billie Joe added to it (press this if you haven't heard it yet) but I still prefer Reading's high energy. Murder City with Billie's own intro and in Eb Standard was much better than album version or other E Standard performances. If you're tipsy and happen to be in concert, this is the best song Green Day has ever produced and nothing else comes even close to it.

Jason White even posted in the comments!!! But someone commented "Green Day World Tour 2023/2024?" and Hans liked it!!!

Just like the RevRad Tour! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_Radio_Tour

So having differing views and opinions makes a person crazy?

Uno for me. It’s short, sweet and to the point. A nice throwback to the Nimrod/Warning era that I love so much. Could definitely do without Troublemaker though, and Oh Love is a terrible choice for a single.

Goddamnit you are so right. Some of the shit I read on here, speculation / conspiracy. You’d be forgiven for thinking most of the people on here are 12 years old and on the school playground.

My initial thought was Dos, and then to be sure I had to go and remind myself of the tracklists and yep, still Dos. Despite being a GD fan for almost 7 years now, I've listened to Uno so rarely that I haven't even learned the lyrics to more than half of the songs on the album. Kill the DJ and Stay The Night are the only Uno songs that really matter to me, some others are enjoyable but most are forgettable. I find most of the songs pretty same-y and indistinguishable tbh. With Tre, I'd say there are less songs that I really enjoy compared to Uno (and I've probably listened to the album as a whole even less than Uno), but the songs that I do enjoy I like better than my favourites from Uno. Tre also has a lot more ballads and slower/quieter songs than most GD albums, which generally aren't my favourite songs anyway. Which brings us to Dos. When I look at the tracklist there's only a song or two that doesn't instantly get stuck in my head and get me grooving when I read the name. The songs aren't the best songs they've ever made, but honestly they're all just effortlessy catchy and easy to listen to. Way more upbeat than the rest of the trilogy, which I love, and I definitely approve of the FBHT vibes. Think this is the only trilogy album I wouldn't describe as weak or put near the bottom of my album ranking so yes, Dos is a clear winner for me.

Okay back on topic: are the "regular" mixes and the Dolby Atmos mixes done in the same sessions? If not, maybe they are mixing now the Dolby Atmos mix. I don't think that CLA just mixed an EP last year, the pictures already showed his Dolby Atmos setup (which he uses since February/March 2022) and were posted after most of the studio videos.

The wives told you that personally?

People should stop speculating about their personal lives. They've been friends for like 40 years at this point. They didn't talk for months after iHeartRadio 2012. This is nothing new that they're not appearing on same pictures together. Green Day wont continue on if either leaves, that's for sure. Jesus christ this thread already has 320 pages? What the fuck? Has there been any news on possible release date or albums status?

Here's the new picture posted by Chris Lord-Alge ( am i wrong or behind them we can see Rob Cavallo? )

Is it on YouTube?

The first three songs of ¡Uno! is, outside of American Idiot, the best opening to any album in their catalog.
