Omg, I can’t believe this but I’m going! This is possibly the most rash thing I have ever done in my life but got a cheap flight, cheap room to stay…feels unreal. May not sleep til Wednesday.

True haha. I think the real answer is have naturally very thick, curly, voluminous hair, then straighten it and use products to tame it.

I recently bought like 9 Green Day CDs. I have successfully finished my studio album CD collection 🥳

Omg that's so cool. We met Cone in the airport on the way to see Green Day (21CB tour) and he told us he'd seen the show that tour and how good it was! They were at the small GD show in Vegas too

I still feel there'll be at least one club show before the tour starts (like the Tulsa show before Hella Mega)

Has any you noticed that in Green Day history, many songs which share the same spot on their respective albums share many issues with each other? For example, as most people here know, even Tré Cool himself has said that songs in 7th spot are mostly ballads, with a few exceptions (they had to exist, "Troublemaker" cannot be a ballad). But the 13th songs in most albums also have the similarity of being slow, sad and usually depressive, dark and moving ("Walking Alone", "Whatsername", "Restless Heart Syndrome", "Amy", "Father To A Son"). The 11th songs in most albums define their total reception; "American Idiot" was connected with "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Warning"'s "Minority" has created for most fans the idea of that album being energetic and fast-paced while it is the exact opposite, "Forever Now" gave "Revolution Radio" a sense of epicness which was not really present in the previous songs, "Jinx"'s nature is the protype for all "Nimrod" songs for most people and "Nightlife".... let us say it gave a certain picture for the entirety of 2012 albums. Finally the 5th track is usually considered amongst the weakest of each album. "Private Ale", "Pulling Teeth", "Scattered", "Are We The Waiting?", "Kill The DJ", "Wild One", "Outlaws" and one of @That Dude's favourite songs from "Father Of All...", although this year's "Dilemma" broke that cliché and became instantly a fan favourite. (And since i mentioned him, i still recall his statistics that tracks with numbers 9 or 6 have never been singles.) Have you noticed other similar motivs in songs' spots?

Dos! will forever be the most misunderstood album of Green Day's catalogue. People look and listen at the songs separately while being sober and think those songs are the worst when in reality it's the only Green Day theme album that has a clever and simple storyline from start to finish. It's a party album that is meant to be listened when you're drunk as fuck. You start off with innocence (See You Tonight) that is quickly thrown away due to horniness (Fuck Time), you rock the fuck out (Stop When the Red Lights Flash), party gets stopped for brief second due to you questioning your existence (Lazy Bones) but then you say fuck it and you try all these kinds of drugs, truth or dare games (Makeout Party) and keep drinking and rocking (Baby Eyes) until party is crashed (Wow! That's Loud) and the hangover officially starts with reflection (Amy). There is whole another story going on at the same time about other woman, later revealed to be Lady Cobra. Nightlife will never work as a separate song and needs context and theme because song isn't that good, but god does it work well with that record. It's perfect stop before loud finish to the party. I will always love that album to death. Oops, sorry about that. Got kinda carried away there. No, I haven't seen any connection with tracklist numbers other than Wake Me Up When September Ends being on 11th as a reference to 9/11 attacks. Otherwise tracklists tend to follow the same shit; lead single is 1st track on the record, ballad is usually on 7th and somber song is in the end before closer. I haven't analyzed tracklists that deep to know how true it actually is, but that's the feeling I got from Saviors.

Of all my crazy Green Day thoughts, I've never pursued this particular avenue of thought.

I wanted this single for so many years, and finally it's in my GD collection!!

Floofy Billie in England Wow yes. Sometimes when I see something like them getting inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame or the Woodstock show or the iconic American Idiot music video etc I think of seeing them in small clubs like that and it blows my mind. Answered by the man himself!

I can’t believe it but I’ve got a ticket to the 100 Club show on Friday. It hasn’t sunk in yet just how close I’m going to be to the guys. Waaaaaaah!

I actually dig this song! I was listening to it today and it reminds me of old school Sum 41.

I have it but don't consider it a blessing , I also need some product tips from Billie I just got a thinned out short bob cut at the hairdresser today, the less of it to deal with the better!

@Little Boy Named Booze Fair. i now want you to see this music video because it is from my 2nd and 3rd favourite band.

Officially sold out!

That’s a neat trick to get Green Day fans to watch your video. Hope they paid a good fee to the lady who owns it.

Sum 41 in the bookmobile in their new music video!

Making a thread so I can link the GDA article. Billie also shared it to his own Instagram story. EDIT: It's happening! There'll be two shows in London.

So top 5 from this poll are SDAHTS, Dilemma, Suzie Chapstick, Goodnight Adeline, and Fancy Sauce. Now the question is, how many of those will they actually play live? So far, Dilemma is the only one we've heard.

This is a terrible take. NMoH is one of my favorite BR album's & the deluxe edition with the acoustic tracks? Gorgeous stuff.

i do not listen to any music other than Green Day during -at least- the last 3 months. Therefore i will not listen to that song either. Are there anywhere updated streaming statistics? Or they are no more available?

As someone with thick, curly hair - this is the way You kind of always have volume whether you want it or not!

Yay! I saw them on NYE and they are absolutely on fire right now! You’re gonna love the vibe, and have So much fun!

I want another MV

Boulevard CD1 arriving next Tuesday. I have CD2 but an European promo.

Have fun telling stories about "Nimrod", i am the deaf misleading the choir from "21st Century Breakdown" and i have access to unreleased to date content, such as "Gloria's Inglorious End", "Moral Assasins", "Drunk Monks" and demos from the entirety of the Act B. In August the 32nd you all are going to learn the truth for this era. i think we could try to keep the topic revelant. After summer has come and past, and innocence can never last when it's invested in Green Day tours, and we wake up, we will see much more, this is a (com)promise. But do not forget that there still are various interesting things during the tour as well, the excitement will not go low.

Not in the good thread I agree but I wanted the more people to view it because it's the most popular thread. And Sum 41 is my 2nd favorite band so I wanted you to see this music video

But need THE products so I can go buy them. He's adorbs in that video though.

All valid points but there are a lot of American cities with ton of seats still left. I sure hope we get more promo leading up to the summer. If the saviors album really is a masterpiece that the band put their heart and soul into, I’d really hope they ramp up their marketing.

Thanks guys, so sweet of you all.

So glad you took the plunge and managed to get a ticket 🤩

I'm Chris Cornell. The Album 15 thread should open up here and also over on Idiot Paradise next. Basketcase hitting a billion plays is exciting. I wonder if Green Day will acknowledge it in any way. Man, some of my stuff on SoundCloud got a 1000 plays and that was exciting. My one song on Spotify ain't doing so hot. Good things it's under my "band" name and not mine, lol. But a billion streams. That's wild. I'm coming up on 2000 subscribers on Youtube and 1 million views is my next goal.

When you've auctioned off your life / for the most expensive price / going once. ..

It's a slow and ugly day, I think I should do a DUI to undry GDC in someway.

I wouldn't call a 7 hour flight "only" lol but seeing side bands is awesome. Seeing Billie perform up close in a small venue with the atmosphere that goes with it is amazing, more than makes up for whatever songs are and aren't played.

Black hair is best for Billie. Blond hair is best for the Rev. But both look great.

This kind of negativity is just tiresome.

Yeah, that' s all the fans want!!!!! Green Day releasing a fantastic album, and then Coverups doing shows instead! Great move ² What a good marketing campaign...

Are these photos posted yet onto the Fangirl Confessions Thread? If not they need to be. These pictures are 🔥🔥 I agree 👍

gonna assume it’s more a case of the rest of the band aren’t here and it’s just a matter of why not

Don’t agree, I think it’s a reference to all the stuff that is fleeting and lacking in substance for me.

Dilemma, Goodnight Adeline, and LIT20s, although Suzie Chapstick and Fancy Sauce are seriously up there as well.

The husband surprised me with this Dookie cooler and can from Igloo, which I had no idea existed until now. I am amazed at the depth of their merch.

You're very welcome @Montclare and @jengd! I'm so glad they've gone to good homes. If anyone else ever wants some prints I can always print more, so let me know. I've got extras of the Green Day landmarks in the Bay Area too. Maybe I'll make a book of those one day.

I feel a little bad I didn’t thank @Rumpelstiltskin2000 and @solongfromthestars publicly for their very generous gifts! So kind and great of them to want them to go to genuine fans!

For me as well as enjoying the album and looking forward to seeing them on the tour, this album has totally reignited my love for the band (not that it went away but it ebbs and flows) so I'm going to be enjoying revisiting their entire discography and watching old music videos/etc for a while.

Coolest thing that could happens in a Green Day concert It will Billie Joe saying "this IS a cover song" and start to play Roshambo ♥️

Bobby Sox hits way harder than I expected when I first listened to it during the pre-listening session. ❤️
