Youtube video hit a million today.

The last time I’ve been this high on GD was the Longshot shows. That was pure fun and I love when their music is using old 50s and 60s chords which so much of their “older” stuff does. I think this album is gonna be a banger and that’s why I came here to the best GD fans in the world to make sure I was right. It’s a good one so far. You?

I just have this feeling that in January or February Green Day will be on SNL and do some New York shows. I feel it.

To fall asleep (or do anything) on a wing and a prayer means it’s unlikely to happen. He saying he’s lucky if he’ll be able to fall asleep because he’s feeling despair and obsessing over his messed up situation. The guilt and ruminating keeps him up at night.

In my day treatment for rehab we had to write down the first song that came to our minds so I wrote Dilemma cause I’ve been obsessed and then we all listened to the songs we picked and talked about how it relates to recovery. Glad I could force everyone to listen to this absolute banger and watch the video. Lots of “yup that was me”.

Look Ma, I edited a music video for Green Day! It’s pretty full circle getting to work with these guys considering “Good Riddance” was my class song back in 2009. Billie, Mike and Tre are honestly some of the most down to earth rock stars I’ve ever met and so much fun to work with. Massive thanks to visionary director Ryan Baxley for bringing DYNMC Creative on board to produce and trusting me to cut this zany vid.

Jen! Indeed. I felt this was gonna be a call back album so I felt coming to see what everyone thinks would be fun. Birds of a feather. Hooe you’re well! 💖

What’s up y’all? Back in time for some new shit. To my old school peeps, love ya. To my new school ones, well, don’t know ya yet. One day we will all look back at this and I’ll be dead. What in the actual fuck is up with these ads? I’m sure everyone would pay $5 to get rid of em!

I really don’t think this album was ever intended to be an EP, I just think it went from being potentially called 1972 to officially being called Saviors.

Howdy! A few months ago my Green Day tribute band went into the studio and recorded a few videos. We've recently released our versions of Minority, Basket Case and Letterbomb, and have a few more in the works. See what you think, and all feedback is welcome! Playing bass in this band has been the most fun I've had in a very long time, and I figured you guys would get a kick out of it!

When is the NFL going to come to their senses and book them for the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

I think you are both right @pacejunkie punk and @LaughingClock and I think in the Uk it’s come to mean it’s pretty hopeless or unlikely. I think it should be on a wing and a prayer too, but hey, we’ll give him that one.

@LaughingClock feels like you’ve been gone for a while too, good to have you and @stories and songs back. Guess folk are returning with an imminent new album.

Mike has mentioned that the album contains "surprises", almost in a reactionary way when Billie's talking about it being a combination of Dookie and Idiot and Nimrod. I really hope there's some strange, strange, really wacked out stuff on this record. Like Gansta Rap and Country, even if it's only for a verse or two......I might go pay someone to remake entire hip hop albums with Billie Joe on vocals.....I think that would be a wise use of this Sunday.

I’d love them to play SNL again, it has been so long! @LaughingClockSo nice to see you, friend!

Missed you man 🙂 Thanks for that extra background. Hate to disagree back at you but he stayed sober for the first five years after rehab which included the RevRad tour (2012-2017). He resumed drinking again with The Longshot stuff in 2018. This song like the rest of the album would have been written during that five year slip between 2018 and 2022, most likely during the pandemic.

My guess is it’s a time period reference but she represents someone else, an actual person from memory perhaps

Welcome back my guy!

PJ! So nice to hear from you. I hate to differ off the bat but you know I’m a dick. Jk. Missed and love you. Its literally dialogue from some old 40s war movie and as a plane is crashing to land he says on the radio “I’m coming in on a wing and a prayer” and it stayed as a coloquial saying (at least in America) ever since. His plane was all shot up and missing an engine and it makes the landing harder to do. So you might be right in that it’s “harder to do” but more to the point it’s that I’m trying with not much to work with and just a prayer and a shitty plane or whatever the metaphor for the plane is. What that thing is here isn’t quite clear as the criminally underrated BJA lyricist/poet doesn’t always spell it out. So yeah he’s gonna try and fall asleep on a wing “on the wing and prayer” still think that lyric should say “on A wing and a prayer” I think you’re just right that it means it will be hard for him to fall asleep in his condition. I would love to know when he wrote this song. I’ll bet these lyrics were written during the RevRad tour because he was drinking on half of that tour, imho. Hopefully he owns his sobriety, meaning he can bring it back out when he wants or needs to. Long live and love GD and BJA.

Yes, I hear it too, can only assume it’s deliberate, kind of a musical “fuck”. They haven’t played it live yet so we’ll have to wait and see.

Hey, good to have you back. I forget about the adds as I help out occasionally. Well worth it. How are you liking the new stuff?

You guys are the Network!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really great performances and on keeping the secret for so long. Love it!

Last album I bought was ok human in December of last year still haven't opened it yet but I plan on ordering saviors in early January on Amazon

Green Day's monthly listener count is on the up-tick. It probably does that every time they start promoting something, but this is the first I've noticed. Recently, it was 31 Million+ and now it's 32,223,214 at of 6:20PM on 12/16/23 if anyone wants to keep an eye on it and see how much they grow during this era. You guys are gonna FREAK OUT....when you hear Suzie Chapstick. I mean, you're gonna be so mad.

I have a theory, we know the tour was delayed because of Covid, but maybe they decided not to do FOAM songs because the screaming and high falsettos every night would’ve destroyed Billie’s voice!!

Got Vinyl, CD and Cassette… and then the Assai vinyl as well

It does ease my mind that they are calling it The Saviors tour. You don’t do that and only play one or two new songs

I really hope this album features prominently in the band's next set list, I didn't want a hella mega 2.0 with everything we've always heard from Dookie and Idiot and little attention in the new era

I lost count after four...😂

Wow, it makes me emotional to hear him talk about this so frankly — I don’t think he’s ever spoken about his issues in a way that just felt so completely honest. And the stuff he was saying during the FOAM promo was just so alarming and I worried we’d never make it back to a good spot again. I know it must be really really hard — for anyone, but especially someone who is in a band — and I’m so happy for him that he seems to be doing so well. I want him here on Earth with us alive and rocking for as long as humanly possible! 🥰

This so much! The whole FOAM promo just felt so freaking wrong 😕 This article also has a little bit of talking about Dilemma: https://themusic.com.au/news/green-day-australia-2025/_CpC7hEQExI/12-12-23 The exciting news comes following the release of Dilemma, with Armstrong explaining that the track resonated with him deeply due to his previous struggles with addiction. “I was sober now I’m drunk again / I’m in trouble and in love again / I don’t want to be a dead man walking / I don’t want to be a dead man walking,” he sings on the track, which was inspired by the singer’s addiction issues. “I’ve struggled with addiction ever since I was a teenager, and I got sober for like five years … I started drinking again and it really started taking a physical and mental toll on me where I just felt like I couldn’t stop, I was a glutton, it became an obsession,” Armstrong said of the personal track (as per Daily Telegraph). “It started affecting the people around me that I love the most. And so that’s what I wrote about. And I haven’t had a drink in like 16 months.”

Would love to know how many copies of the album everyone has preordered. I’ve got 3 (Vinyl, CD, & Cassette). Am I crazy over the top? Or am I slacking as a Green Day fan?

I have a love/hate relationship with translated interviews because I very much appreciate the access but also read them and am like, “This definitely isn’t how they said this” lol. But there’s some good info in the Visions interview!

Maybe the album was ready but Billie wasn’t.

Absolutely. FOAMF has probably one, two at a stretch acceptable songs on it and even then they're WAAAAY down the list of songs in their entire discography. Sorry, but the rest is just garbage and if it wasn't Green Day we'd all think the same. Title? Terrible. Production? Horrible. The artwork? Unforgivable. Then you get utterly woeful nonsense like Here Comes The Shock and I'm going "these guys are finished, they've properly lost it" Then they drop the Saviors singles. Maybe they just needed to get something middle aged out of their system, but I can't say I'm not annoyed about having to experience it. 😆

That’s how I felt comparing FOAM to The Longshot. If he could write songs like Chasing A Ghost, Cult Hero and Turn Me Loose still, why are they releasing FOAM under Green Day instead of this?

FOAM is the kind of album that’s kinda like, eh, maybe they don’t have it like they used to, it’s alright. Then you listen to something like Dilemma and it’s like THEY MOST CERTAINLY STILL GOT IT, so WHAT WAS THAT FOAM NONSENSE. 😅 More generously, perhaps we can thank FOAM for preparing them to make Saviors lol.

It’s on Spotify. Holy fuck that was good. Amazing vocals, heavy guitars. Wow wow.

I feel like billie is channeling the stray cats with his blond hair and late 50s style Feels like stray cats met late 90s greenday in an alley and had a knife fight lol

this album is just a banger!!! I can't wait!

Honestly, all the teasers sound good that Dilemma could be any of them and I’d be happy.

Yes, which is why calling them "party albums" is an oversimiplification imo.

I keep hearing "We are not home/Are we not whole?" and "Unprivate property" instead of "We are not home/Are we not home?" and "On Private property" and it fucks me up haha

Had the white junior in my cart and got hit with a payment error. Wow. super bummed, had waited years for this opportunity

Song lengths aren't very original. Bizarre criticism but true. Goodnight Adeline is original with it's 2:56 length. Some studio banter is the only thing that lenghth, and I'm looking at strictly studio albums, brother. Corvetter Summer is the same length as Basketcase so it could be important. Probably not. Suzie Chapstick has an original length as well. Good for her. First song that's 3:16. Religious reference or something. SAVIORS!!!! Strange Days is the same length as Nightlife so that one's going to be awesome. Living in the 20s is the same length as Lady Cobra and I'm really going down a dark rabbit hole here. Nightlifte and Lady Cobra go together and those song probably do too. Father to a Son has an original length. Saviors also has an original length, if we don't count demos and live performances, which some do but I don't. Fancy Sauce is also orginal length. 5 original lengths for songs and 10 copycats of song length. When will this band give us a 57 second song that we've craved for so many decades? Or an ACTUAL TEN MINUTE song, because Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming are NOT 10 minutes. and Billie has talked and talked and talked about these supposed "10 minute songs" so much. "Jesus Comes To Town" should be 10 minutes EXACTLY when it drops.
