They have officially surpassed one billion streams on Spotify with Basket Case. Now it's American Idiot's turn to hit that goal

Hey, so I work in live sports television (Bally Sports, specifically, Cleveland Guardians and Cavs) and one of our March Artists of the Month is Green Day! Interestingly enough the song we're allowed to use is Corvette Summer, so basically you'll hear this song used in highlights and stuff during the broadcast. Kind of an odd choice to use for the NBA, but could definitely see this working for MLB/summer. Here's the email I got.

Might as well put this here since it's going on GDA

Billie's pic from the end of his story

I was looking for something completely different earlier today and found these from the Mountain View show in 2010 (from Getty Images)

Don't remember seeing these before. Or these from the Longshot tour. I definitely haven't seen Billie wearing a hard hat onstage before.

Yes I think the Garage is 11pm, they said they usually put stage times on their twitter in the day! Does anyone know if there will be any kind of merch, I know it's a long stretch but would be nice to have something to commemorate the gig!

Billie’s tagging all over London again. Steamboat Willie and the Punk/Drunk Bunny this time!

Nobody in the entire history of the world has the hair they want! 😂

It's a milestone people should care if one of the hits gets 1 billion. It's not like life is Saviors or something.

I care about a song from thirty years ago 😄.

Yay!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I think I know what's going on. Derek is retiring from Sum 41 so he become the new frontman for Green Day, Linkin Park AND The Network. Well, he's always been Fink but now he's going to be openly Fink.

Just got done watching Bullet in A Bible. I can not even express how much I love Green Day. They really saved my life. Thank you. 🤘❤️

I wonder what Green Day (or Warner) will do with the $3.50 coming their way from 1,000,230,452 streams of Basketcase on Spotify. In all seriousness, a billion streams is a big deal. Starting out as the rickety story of Swank and Houston, Basketcase was rewritten and given the Cavallo treatment to become one of the biggest songs in the world. As a weirdo who likes a good deal of other Green Day records more than Dookie, even I recognize this song's appeal. It's relatable, funny, sad, rockin' - it really is a perfect song and deserves more plays than "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. Anybody here NOT like Basketcase? I'm all about some hot takes so I won't give you crap about it.

Basket Case is eternally awesome. Don’t be a downer

Well deserved. There’s just something about Basket Case I can never get bored of it. Every time I hear it it feels like the first time. Always a thrill. The riff, the lyrics, the drums! Perfection. Congrats Green Day, don’t spend it all in one place 😄 💚 Basket Case

I'm playing Fancy Sauce 360 times a day, only skipping the last second because there's not enough time in one day to listen more than that. What are you doing to help the plight of deep cuts in 2024, my friend?

I love that he’s still a petty criminal at 52 😄

WTF!? No! Q: how do I stop buying Green Day stuff? A: keep buying everything until I’ve got it all and there’s nothing left to buy

I love this

I’m hoping for some merch too!

Good news, some of my CD's came in today! Sad news is the jewel cases on the CD's I bought on ebay got destroyed through shipping. Not all of them thankfully, but Shenanigans and ¡Dos! were pretty jacked up. Atleast the CD's work. The seller also put in the CD's in the case upside down (meaning the design was on the bottom).

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 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!

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

Green Day can also use this as publicity for Saviors. A simple IG post calling attention to the 1 billion feat, and work in bringing all their songs to a billion, including the songs on their new album, Saviors. Boom.

Buy all the demo tapes in the Unsurfaced Dimension! I thought the dimension surfaced in like 1997 but no

What’s the official current stream count on Basket Case right now? Mine hasn’t moved since yesterday it’s still showing 999,529,176. Should be getting very close to that billionth stream. Do you think the band will acknowledge it in some way?

Listen to Billie whine about nothing and everything all at once for Basket Case day. I can imagine that on a billboard in the East Bay. lol

Amazing album but I’m ready to go to hell for my useless GD opinion today! Wee: My favorite songs from the album are constantly changing, while my 3 least favorite songs have been the same (and no, I don’t skip them when they’re on): bobby Sox- a bit boring and the repetitive falsetto “ooos” feel generic, not fun. The scream is the best part. Now the making of video is Awesome as fuck! dilemma- a bit boring. Scream and lyrics save it. The making of video shreds, though! father to a son - gotta be in the mood, otherwise a bit cheesy. Mix is weird. String arrangements are cool as hell!

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

Scattered among "the weakest"? It's been one of the band's most beloved songs since forever and considered a classic by the vast majority of the fanbase. Sorry, I'm not sure there's anything to see here TBH. Ballads tend to be towards the end of album. The rest are tenuous links at best. The band tend to follow a pretty well established track list pattern.

Mike's new profile pic on Instagram (from his Instagram story) Billie posted on his Instagram story about Sum 41 and them using the bookmobile for their latest video

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.

I suggest you cover Coffee and Repent for April Fools.

Blood, Sex and Booze. I learned it together with my cousin and we played it in front of our parents. They were quite surprised when they googled the lyrics (I think we were 12 or 13 years old at that time 😅)

I actually got all three candles for free from a random fan on Tumblr!! Sadly, they didn't pack it well so Billie broke I spent hours putting it together....and then it fell apart while moving 😠

Brain Stew

Sometime I'm on a roll and I can spend $500 on merchs and collections in less than a week. And sometime I don't buy anything for like 2 years. Still waiting for the signed CD...

I'm a collector on a budget, so my cap for spending depends on what I'm trying to get. I think the highest I would go for random items is maybe 50 bucks. I'm not out to get anything rare or limited. I'm more interested in picking up random Green day things I don't have, even if its just a studio album that's easy to find. I'm always happy to welcome new Green day stuff into my collection. I think I have a good amount of stuff. I'm not really into every variant of a record (unless I run into it for a good price). I like more of the weird stuff, like BJA baseball cards, GD guitar picks, toys, and promo stuff. One of my faves is a huge in-store Gamestop poster for Green Day Rockband.

Don't forget: Billie cried after recording Whatsername, B-Sides disc, HLAHG outtakes, Roshambo and other theorized songs

Billie taking photos of the support act at Irving Plaza in 2012 And the result Second best era!!! (Sadly I love the 21st Century Breakdown era too much to proclaim that even my love the trilogy is the VERY best era)

Saviors pink and green "splatter" vinyl and the signed CD 😌

Here we go

Just bought the 25th Anniversary Insomniac Vinyl because they don't have it for CD. I don't even have a turntable but I have The Longshot vinyl too. Gonna post a beautiful picture of my Green Day collection this weekend.

Just received my Nimrod mugshot shirt

a Bang Bang Promo CD on ebay!!
