Special one today. 9 years ago, Green Day were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. They also played the LA Sports Arena 11 years ago today. The 99 Revolutions Tour was 11 years ago? WHAT?! HELP. 19 years ago, they played the USF Sun Dome in Tampa on the American Idiot Tour. There was a review up at some point, but the links are dead, so all we've got is "Billie Joe Armstrong asserts his personality while performing with Green Day on Monday night before a sold-out crowd." 30 years ago, Green Day played the Satyricon club in Portland.

The venue posted about the 2012 show (and this one) https://www.instagram.com/p/C536D2LP1kb/?igsh=MWhuM2YyY2RjcnNmdg== In 2012 I remember staying up all night waiting for tweets that a GDCer was posting for us from the venue!

I think the real sign that Saviors is a great album is it has been out for 3 months and everyone still has different favorites and least favorites. Really has something for everyone on it. The last time I remember something like this was 21CB. Every album from that seems to have a majority consensus on favorites.

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 guess with social media getting word round so fast there's really no way to prevent it with an online sale now then. Shame they don't figure out a way to do it similar to when they did it through the fanclub.

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!

Can't wait for Green Day to do something influenced by a lot of new wave! Would be good. I see The Network as a potential influence, and maybe even multiple older bands classified new wave, like Duran Duran or something.

I have been to concerts in over 15 countries and France is really something else. In my experience 95 % act like complete assholes including security. I was queuing for their last two shows in Paris (Bataclan & La Defence) and it was just awful.

Different opinions are different. There's nothing cringe with that Biggest problem with RR is the production. Quiet parts are too quiet and loud parts are too loud. Songs like Bang Bang and Outlaws suffer heavily from this, but when Forever Now gets more epic and adds more guitars, it also suffers from this and becomes a mess that is impossible to listen and enjoy. I'm not a fan of lyrics on any songs, although line ''fuck you i'm from oakland'' is kinda funny. It was also too serious and and too real album for my taste, if Saviors was nothing but heavy tracks like Dilemma, I wouldn't enjoy it. Albums need to have dumb fun songs (that also hopefully sounds as good as Corvette Summer), but if those tracks are missing or those tracks are just not great songs (Youngblood), album isn't great. Lastly, RR was seen as ''return to form'' which I disagree the most with and I saw it as taking a step back after Trilogy. It didn't feel like natural evolution (except on lyrics I suppose) musically, but rather fan service with thought of ''ye we fucked up with trilogy so heres an album that is closer to american idiot/21st century breakdown sound''. Aaand that's enough of RR discussion in this thread from my end.

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 🥰

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 😏

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

No one is fighting, different opinions are important so conversations are engaging. I don't feel like my opinions are disrespected and I don't believe Christian's Inferno! feels that either. Atleast we can agree on Living in the '20s being a fucking banger. Holy hell that song is GOOD.

Saviors is way better than Heaven :x: Hell or One More Time imo. Those albums have their strong moments but aren't great as a whole. Saviors isn't a daily listen for me and hasn't been since like those first couple weeks but I'm still listening to it regularly. It's not my favourite rock album to come out in the last year or so. I prefer Paramore's This Is Why, and I only heard Foo Fighter's new album But Here We Are for the first time a couple months ago but I'm listening to that album regularly too. The last act of that album hits hard Coma City is my favourite track, idk what's "uninspiring" about it. OEB is the weakest track on the album imo and really comes across as the "uninspired" song of the album

No. Close this thread for at least 2 years.

Nope, nope. Enjoy Saviors everyone!

No one knows what Mike and Tre have going on their lives that day to make the judgement that they don't feel the same about it. Also when it's a side band it makes it easier for fans to get tickets than if it's Green Day so it's a huge plus for fans that it's Coverups
