We did it 🥲

I can’t believe I’ve just applied for a ticket, means I have to cancel two things to go but decided to stop being responsible adult for once in my life! Quite like that it seems to be a lottery but will be gutted if I don’t get now.

That version of 1981 is much better. There seem to be some interesting backing vocals that either weren't in the original live performance or weren't audible in the original

I’m happy to pay that to see them in a small venue!

https://youtu.be/9W1x_8xEu2c?si=u46eu7hiE-rMC4QE After seeing that lifeless ass crowd from the Amazon live show this really gives me hope people still love a good rock n roll show and who else but green day to bring it like always

I may have been lead to believe “Saviors” is very good.

Some real nice bass work I hadn't noticed in the prior 1981 performances

I wish you and everyone here to get these fucking tickets 😂 Good Luck everyone. Saw a flag of the „hella tiny tour“ seems Fan made, but hope at least all countries here get the chance. Still hope they‘ll do something in cologne or hamburg 😂

LMNB really reminds Trilogy (that catchiness, simplicity, 60-70s vibes) but what most important - it's like scented with Insomniac. That's what I think makes it attractive and fresh.

I think I have some more here: She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (x4) She's throwing punches to the beat To the sound of cable TV And she'll never see the world the same She is a Cold War in my head And I am itching red On the danger side of parts unknown [Pre-Chorus] Coffee and cyanide for lovers into space If this is not a test We got one foot in the grave [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 (x4) [Bridge] Crime falling all the time Champagne and party lines God bless the end of times Pain, comics and cocaine Slam dance in acid rain We live the truth and pretend that it’s the same [Chorus]

no love for germany with these club shows

I’m so happy he’s using a teleprompter now. He’s finally singing all the lyrics right. OTOH I wonder if it feels like he’s performing his own karaoke 😄 Maybe this will free him up to play more deep cuts. Let’s go X-kid and Rusty James!

I think dumb and smart at the same time kind of sums Billie up well. Walking contradiction 🙂

That, along with "I'm special and I don't need your help" coalesces to make some of most scrumptious lyrical bites we've gotten from Green Day in a long time. It's a song that can be both dumb and smart at the same time. There's something special about this song.

https://youtu.be/FYaMbBER5iQ?si=-Ci2ROxRvk0eygA oh love sounds good here https://youtu.be/Mim9kqSgfSc?si=nU7FydhT7SSzJfHj wow that's rock n roll crowd

We had one last week and two in the last 3 weeks ya cunt. i say “cunt” with love and affection of course.

Not sure why theres no thread for this show????? But this recording makes this song sound soooo much better

Yes, was on ipad so using safari, had some nonsense around password with Ticketmaster, but once that was sorted I shot through the whole process dead easily. Got confirmation email, just crossing everything now! Indeed, it must make such a difference to actually play to fans after festival crowds!

Billie looked and sounded so good last night I see. Red bandana in back pocket now! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzPpQNvtlvc/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I heard that they return to US next Saturday so I assume they’re here doing press too. Feels like so long since we had good/fun interviews etc.

21stCB too

Spotify streams for TADIKM Day 1 - 248k Day 2 - 487k (+239k) Day 3 - 663k (+176k) Day 4 - 1,078k (+415k) Day 5 - 1,313k (+235k) Day 6 - 1,495k (+182k) Day 7 - 1,718k (+223k) Day 8 - 1,911k (+193k) Day 9 - 2,085k (+174k) Day 10 - 2,336k (+251k) Day 11 - 2,534k (+198k) Spotify streams for LMNB Day 1 - 137k Day 2 - 469k (+332k) Interestingly, LMNB for its 2nd day gets much more streams than TADIKM has gotten in a single day. Perhaps this might actually be the bigger hit for the album?

That increase probably comes from following LMNB on Spotify. LMNB on the other hand has a much lower start than TADIKM, probably to be expected since it's not the lead single

Oh wow, this performance sounds miles better than what we had previously! Stoked for this track’s studio version now

Something interesting - on Tidal and AllMusic Butch Walker is credited as an additional engineer on both Look Ma! and American Dream. Worth noting that these credits aren't always 100% accurate but interesting nonetheless and possibly adds some credence to the idea that they started working on this stuff with him before going back to Cavallo. Again not sure if it's entirely accurate - I'm thinking these might be copy-pasted credits for the whole album and Butch is indeed credited for One Eyed Bastard/any other songs that were closer to the beginning of the writing process 🤔 (as we already know TADIKM came last).

How possible is that some people here can think OEB is a bad song when it has a real potential to do good on radio stations and platforms? I know for dieheart fans like us might not be the green day we want BUT that doesn't mean the song is not good. Tbh I still believe that from the 4 tracks we heard already is the one that can do better mediatically.

I'm not crazy about it either, but am trying not to judge until I hear the album version. I also think back to RevRad, when my reaction was Bang Bang- Yeah!, Revolution Radio- Yeah!, Still Breathing- screeching halt. But I came to like it and loved the whole album.

Or maybe it's the new Know Your Enemy. A catchy singalong song but not the best of the album. I think it's gonna be the next single for the way that the band push it

I have a feeling we're gonna get both 1981 and Father to a Son before the album's released.

setlist.fm needs to fix this: Welcome to Paradise always shows up as a Kerplunk song when it's almost certainly meant as a Dookie song. I always see that green day played 4 Dookie songs and 2 Kerplunk songs and I'm like "nope". This bugs me even though I have bigger things to worry about. Maybe I should buy one of those Worry Rock's billie was singing about. Do they work?

The worst time to wake up is to find that Green Day is playing a club show in Milan (Italy - a 3-hour drive from where I live). But I'm in New Haven. And they won't play some New Haven/New York club shows until February, when I'll get back to Italy. Ugh.

Yeah the Amazon concert was so disappointing to see the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd I'm glad the fans brought the positivity and energy because green day really feeds off it

Sounded so good in bataclan

I'll definitely be trying for the Milano tickets. These announcements are so chaotic and I kind of love it to be honest. If you just wanna try your luck and go to only one of these shows (Milan, London), whichever you succeed in getting the tickets for, you can't really do that. You don't know what's gonna happen next. The Hella Tiny Tour makes history, or something. I don't know I'm hungover as hell.

milan 7th november london 10th november

I wonder how long the boys are staying in Europe. Are they doing one of those press junkets like last time? How many more club shows might they do? Can’t wait to start seeing some interviews

sort of, [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 [Verse 1] She's throwing punches to the beat To the sound of cable TV And she'll never see the world the same She is a Cold War in my head And I am whispering All the change inside of us Oh no [Pre-Chorus] Coffee and cyanide for lovers in the state If this is not a test Got one foot in the grave [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 [Bridge] Crime falling on the time Champagne and (bottle something??) God-Bless the end of times Pain, commas(?) and cocaine Slamdance around the rain We lived the truth (???) [Chorus] She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981 She's gonna bang her head like 1981

Just ask the Hallmark Channel.

Oracle is a big baseball stadium. There's gonna be lots of the tickets available. But this is the only show taking place in that area, the SF bay area. At least until the second leg of the tour. This will also be one of the last concerts of the first NA leg. And consider it's been about 2 years since Green Day last toured globally. Fans are pretty eager to see Green Day. If you can, don't wait till the last minute. This show will sell fast. And who knows if it's gonna have a GA area or seated area. GA is harder to come by through the secondary market! 🙂

a way nicer listen than quebec

Is anyone been able to figure out the lyrics now that the song has been played without any issues?

Its definitely my favourite out of the 2

1981 does not sound like Dos to me at all. It doesn't fit with the lyrical themes of Dos (i.e. sex), doesn't sound garage rock. If anything, it sounds more like an Uno style track

I think Billie has always had a hangup about feeling stupid since he dropped out of high school. It’s self deprecating but untrue ofc

I don’t think either 1981 or OEB will be singles. I think the next single will be Father To A Son. They’ve been talking about it alongside the other two and it makes all three releases as different as they can be to have wide appeal

Agreed. FOAM is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of gimmicky Green Day albums for sure, and in many ways the Trilogy was like the polar opposite of FOAM.

Look at the entry of OEB on SESAC. No affiliated artist, only Billie as writer.

that teaser was one of the firsts right? mike said in the interview that father to a son was along with TADIKM the two last songs written & recorded. so i think we might be looking for a total unknow song, unteased until now at least

This song has the fun vibe they described for FOAM but actually executed well. Two great songs back to back. I'm extremely hopeful for this album now.
