On this day (17 April) 26 years ago, Green Day played Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. "Who's from the West Bay? I bet you people don't even know you're in the WEST Bay. Did you even know there WAS a Bay?" – Mike "How many people live in San fucking Francisco? You suck!" – Billie The Longshot played Thee Parkside in San Francisco on this day 6 years ago. A nice quote from that show: “I have so much gratitude and so much love getting to play music in front of people for so many years.” And an amusing one: “We’re gonna do this thing where we pretend to walk off and walk back on.”

Better pull off Makeout Party and 8th Avenue Serenade from the bin and perform those damn songs again. Both of them were fucking AWESOME last time around. Yes, even Billie's weird ass fap session during Makeout Party.

To show Green Day that The Network is going to take over if they're not careful! I'm so thirsty for a new Green Day live release that I was forced to purchase The Network DVD instead!! The best way they can fix the situation is do some club shows to tell The Network step off of their territory!! They could do a few shows in the midwest like...oh I dunno Chicago...just throwing it out there. Are you listening Billie?

When you keep repeating your hilarious joke about The Network NOT being Green Day ad nauseum to the point your partner says "The joke is old! This isn't the Green Day fangirls forum! I know the joke!" Needless to say, he prefers The Network

Hard to believe I took this 6 years ago. Time's going by so fast!

And midwesterners.

Hoping that “the hella tiny tour continues” means there’ll be more shows and specifically outside of the west coast for us east coasters

Billboard update Alternative Airplay- 2, up from 3 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- 1, up from 2

This sale hurt my feelings :(

I've started scheduling stories on the GDA Instagram that are throwbacks to gigs played on that day however many years ago. If I'm going to all that effort, I might as well post this stuff here as well. However! I'm only focusing on gigs (not album releases or anything) and I'm very likely to forget to post here anyway, so if you remember anything that happened on a certain day years ago (or if you feel like copy/pasting from the GDA Instagram), please contribute! Even stuff like music video releases and chart positions on certain days would be interesting to look back on. So, on this day (16 April) 19 years ago (2005), Green Day played in Orlando, FL. 11 years ago (2013), they played the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. And 9 years ago (2015), they played the House of Blues in Cleveland before their Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Yes, I did get the year wrong on Instagram. Enjoy looking back at what our favourite band have been up to!

https://www.instagram.com/p/C54NQUTSz11/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== One Less Zero (Sara's band) will also perform, alongside Mad Peaceful and Odd Robot. Tickets on sale now.

Tickets on sale tomorrow at noon PST via their social media outlets.

Yeah why are you posting about The Network in a Green Day forum anyway? This isn’t the “You know you’re a Network fan when…” thread 😜

Sorry it's not really Green Day related but I got a copy of The Network's Disease is Punishment DVD! It's pretty sweet. Green day could learn a thing or two from these guys 😏

yes full albums show unless gd change their plans again 😅

stage times for rock am ring festival are online green day (ai+dookie) play 2 hours and 20 min

CONGRATS GREEN DAY! They finally made it to the NRR with Dookie. This album goes down as a classic punk rock album (or pop-punk) that has shaped the band's popularity 30 years ago.

Another review, very positive. https://www.facebook.com/100064862432874/posts/pfbid0PgZPKnxJnN6cxkR6N6GXZFjvftiWnW3ZRhJPVJQGhb2NbQSBe372ZHBvMnmukmuJl/?

When you see a post in the Toronto subreddit about someone moving from Chicago to Toronto and in your head you start singing…

Oh boy, here goes nothing again 🤞

LET'S GO!

I thought it was pretty clear I like Green Day 😂😂

I wonder how God feels about that. They are his favorite band after all.

I'm giving away 6x4 prints from the Coverups and Longshot shows I've photographed because they're cheap and it's Ramadan. If you want some, send me a message letting me know which ones (eg. "C6, LS15") by 7 April. You'll also need to send me your name and address. Choose as many as you want – I do actually need to print at least 500 to get the best price. It doesn't matter if you already have some of my prints. They're great, so why not get more? If you want a bigger print, you're very welcome to ask, but I will have to ask you to pay for the print and postage. This is the price list: https://www.tescophoto.com/photo-prints Otherwise, I'm not expecting any payment, but if you really, really want to, you can donate the cost of your prints and postage to charity or buy me a coffee. And if you're not already following GDA on Instagram and Tumblr, go and do it.

Last time they played in Tiki Bar, they were hilariously drunk and performed probably sloppiest and slowest Jesus of Suburbia ever. Whole Foxboro + Green Day set was the most beautiful trainwreck I have ever seen. This time around it's probably gonna be more chill, but I find it awesome how they have a such history with Tiki Bar. Performing 16-17 new Trilogy tracks as Green Day out of nowhere in 2011 and then 2019 set as The Coverups, which changed to Foxboro + Green Day. Oh, it was also Tre's birthday. Wonder will he be there this time around? Anyways, that beautiful trainwreck of a set.

I am going to be trying for tickets as well. I'm solo but will gladly purchase 2 if possible and can hook someone up. Same as everyone else, looking for a +1 if I don't score on the queue. Good luck everyone!!

From Billie's Instagram story

SAVIORS EDITION: 1. When you go on TikTok and see a post about taxes. TikTok and taxes. 2. When you witness an argument where someone uses the insult NO BRAINS. I said look ma! 3. When you're talking to a friend and he/she proposes watching reruns of a show in his/her house. 4. When you see someone wearing a pirate-eye. One-Eyed Bastard! 5. When you listen to someone talk about alcoholism and they say "I was sober then I got drunk again" (IK that isn't the actual line). 6. When you read about the year 1981. 7. When you read about Adeline Records. 8. When you see a news article talking about a city with the most comas happening. Don't call the cops! 9. When you see a Corvette. 10. When you go on Instagram and see a friend you haven't seen since the asteroid in Mexico stuck the Dinosaurs posting photos. 11. When you see a post on social media about David Bowie's death. 12. When you take a look at the date and remember it's the 20s. Ain't that a kick in the head? 13. When you talk to your father and he says "father to a son" (Applies to male people only) 14. When you grab your copy of Saviors on CD or vinyl. Or you go on Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music, any streaming service and listen to it. 15. When you see a sauce in a store named "fancy sauce". Fallin' like a yo-yo!

Thanos Joe Armstrong. Hehe. Also, I forgot to say like a million days ago that I named my LesPaul "Armstrong". Sadly it's not a Gibson since those are expensive.

Here's my pre-request for someone's +1 after I inevitably end up #496,931 in the queue tomorrow! Good luck to everyone trying for tickets!!

780 capacity venue. Tickets are $60 according to the venue's website. https://theecho.com/

Here’s hoping I score tickets 🤞

I’d imagine it’d be an almost identical setlist to SF

Can't wait for this!

Wonder how it’ll stack up against their 2012 Echoplex show, that one was pretty special.

This is really amazing. For a band that always wanted to have a legacy and leave something important behind yet were told you couldn't get big making their kind of music, it's a tremendous achievement. Congrats to our boys

Well, this is cool. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244804661/abba-green-day-national-recording-registry

^^^ I left a phrase out of the beginning of that post and don’t remember what I was saying “you might like GD “if something” and it’s not there. Thanks for liking my salad speak. @jengd 🤗

Thank you!

I have like two Saviors CDs. I preordered one and it came a day after album release, the second I won from a Polish rock radio station.

Number one on the Alternative Radio chart: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5wmax2tJIv/?igsh=MW1idGp1MW55ZGoxMA==

What's so cool about this album is how so many people have different favourites and there's something for everyone. This track is growing on me a little (but if I'm listening to the album on repeat I will occasionally skip it along with FTAS)

At first I really liked it, but now I LOVE IT. One of the best song of the album and the more I listen to it the more I think it would have worked very well as track #1.

Funny that the song was released in December and now it gets its commercial recognition 😅

I can’t make that date but just came here to say this is very sweet of him to do this extra show for fans who missed out on Echoplex. Wish Mike and Tre felt the same way and they could do an extra Green Day show but Billie’s the best 🥰
