Well, that was something. What's been posted in here basically explains it. It was very confusing — the way we all saw them grab Mike, we thought something happened with him specifically. I could see from my seat that everyone was being carted away in golf carts and knew it was some sort of threat. I assumed it was something in the pit that escalated until I saw that the people in the pit were as still and stunned as the rest of us. Honestly, I selfishly didn't panic — I just thought "Yep, of course. I've been relying on this show to single-handedly keep me sane and now I only get four songs." It wasn't until later that I considered that we could've been in danger, too. But they came back and didn't miss a beat, didn't miss a song. I'm grateful they worked it out and grateful they got back out there for us. It's weird, I was of the age where AI meant more to me than Dookie, but I enjoyed the Dookie set more than I thought I would. And even though I obviously knew AI was being played in full, I think I had gotten so used to hearing St. Jimmy segue into some other common setlist song that when Give Me Novacaine came on, I was somehow surprised and that made it all the more beautiful. I hope maybe I can remember more specific feelings later — I'm still wired from the pause and making sense of being there for such a weird moment.

I just randomly entered their YT Music channel and noticed Unt, I already came to terms that they're not coming back, so you can imagine what a surprise it was for me to see this. In fact, I lost my password to this account long time ago and after I saw this, I HAD to recover my password to comment here.

Pinhead Gunpowder new 14 song album "Unt" is out October 18th. 1. Unt 2. Difficult But Not Impossible 3. Scum Of The Earth 4. Oh My 5. Nothing Ever Happens 6. Draw It In 7. Shine 8. ¡Hola Canada! 9. Here Goes The Neighborhood 10. Mumbles 11. Green 12. Chowchilla 13. Trash TV 14. Song For Myself New single "Unt" is out now

The photos really are getting worse. Greg took some decent shots on the RevRad Tour, for example: But now so many of them are like this: Gig photography isn't the place for edgy experiments because it's just not what the audience wants to see.

ouch, i hadn't made the count, when they say in the release that it's their first music since 2008 I thoght of something like 10 years ago.... man, time definitely is speeding up ad we grow old

I've started adding shows from this tour to previous posts once some photos are available, so if someone looks back at this thread in a few years, the Saviors Tour stuff will be here too. Anyway, on this day 7 years ago (5 September 2017), Green Day played a backstage benefit set for people affected by Hurricane Harvey. They played in Tampa, FL later that night. More photos: 19 years ago (5 September 2005), Green Day played in Ottawa, Canada on the American Idiot Tour. Yes, that's Billie sniffing his hand after doing his thing in Hitchin' a Ride. 25 years ago (5 September 1999), Green Day played a show for Idiot Club members at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, CA. It was the first time they played Church on Sunday. They also played Private Ale for the first time since 1992 and Dry Ice for the first time since 1993. I was surprised to see Desensitized on the setlist, but apparently it was played at two other shows. This was the only time Green Day covered Beat It by Michael Jackson and Nookie by Limp Bizkit though. 29 years ago (5 September 1995), Green Day played in Hamburg, Germany on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (5 September 1994), Green Day played a second night at Lollapalooza in Carson, CA on the Dookie Tour. Billie was also interviewed before the show. 32 years ago (5 September 1992), Green Day played the Benicia Youth Center in Benicia, CA on the Kerplunk Tour. 33 years ago (5 September 1991), Green Day played in Tempe, AZ.

It's Pinhead Gunpowder though, the whole album will probably be like 20 minutes long

It's amazing how Billie sounds the same and yet so different in Pinhead Gunpowder. Saviors mention, nice.

New song "Unt" is up on Youtube or streaming services if it's past midnight in your timezone or use VPN.

I finally found one that got posted

I can’t think of another time when I’ve felt my heart sink into my stomach so fast. That was so eerie to experience, especially since I was up in the stands with a bunch of casual fans who didn’t seem to realize right away that something was wrong. The music cut off but the crowd kept singing for a few seconds longer. Maybe working in news for so long has made me always assume the worst, but I was terrified I was about to be a part of a mass panic/evacuation situation. I thought security saw somebody with a gun or other weapon and felt the guys were in danger — especially Mike since he was rushed off first. My initial thought was maybe Mike had a medical emergency but once @Mar saw them all getting rushed away from the venue in golf carts because she could see behind the stage from her seat, I knew that didn’t make any sense. After people realized them leaving the stage wasn’t supposed to happen, we all just sat there confused and quiet and on edge. It was really unnerving, but surprisingly nobody seemed to outwardly panic near me. Well, except me. Even though they tried to resume like nothing had happened — even picking up mid-song — it really took a while for me to get back “into it” after that. I felt really bad for fans experiencing the show for the first time. First, the fact that they were probably panicking thinking that it might get canceled. And then the fact that the whole point is to hear the album as a cohesive experience. Not with a 10-minute anxiety attack break, ugh. And then my brain did the whole “omg someday the band won’t be here any more and I don’t know how I’ll cope” thing after thinking one of them might be seriously hurt or threatened. … all this during a song about masturbation. This fucking band, what have they done to me. Also, Billie’s amp went out during the end of Good Riddance and he had to play his guitar into the microphone while singing into it as well. His face at the end, when he said it was “a night we’ll all remember,” his expression just screamed “what a fucking shit show,” ha.

My Milwaukee shirt came. AKA my covid shirt, since that's quite possibly where I got covid.

Oh Billie I'm loving this shirt with the red collar So many wardrobe changes on this tour! I'm loving it!

This song is amazing! The Interrupters vibes! Idk why but I can hear the Haha you're dead tempo in this song.

This song is really amazing! I can’t stop listening to it! Man, how I’ve missed PG!

Wow never expected this! I love PHGP and the song is awesome, can't wait for the album. It's my brother's birthday today and he'll be happy about this!

Good Lord, these types of people are the worst. And the replies are as racist and ignorant as you'd expect. Oh, Jesus Christ, the Linda Linda's mentions are flooded with MAGA people. I just don't get it.

New album on October 18th on Red vinyl, CD and cassette - via 1-2-3-4 Go! Records. Here's a flexi-disk promo vinyl I can't afford right now (because of the shipping costs): https://www.ebay.com/itm/116315240356

OMG this song is soooo good!! It’s classic Aaron lyrics and Pinhead style it’s as good as their best songs. Love it!!!

Just glad everyone is safe. I’m sure after the whole Taylor Swift thing, everyone is on guard.

Thought you guys might like this one

Walking near my house, heard someone working on their car, blaring from their garage is "Jesus of Suburbia" - I went over to say nice song bla bla bla great band. Guy emerges who I've seen before, big dude, face tattoos, mohawk, scary looking mofo, but we chatted nice enough. He had three dogs, a pug, a westie type, and a jack Russell. Two of them were called "pickle" and "munchkin" Scary looking dude with pickle the pug. Love it. 😅😊

Man, my birthday starts good Now Linkin Park will announce something or something is happening in LA or whatever...hopefully something interesting

Is it just me or does anyone else think there have no really great photos from the concerts so far? You know, ones that make the fangirl thread go in to overdrive?

American Idiot will soon hit 1 billion streams on Spotify

I feel like it hasn’t happened in recent history or us crazies would probably know about it? Agreed. Couldn’t tell any difference between the show I attended Sunday and this one. They’re a machine.

From Billie's Instagram story

Beautiful statement here from the band. I hadn’t realized that they’ve gotten together to play just for themselves nearly every year since they formed. So it’s not a reunion at all, they just decided to release music again and they’re super proud of it. If anyone knows the original source of this statement I’d love to see it, I can’t find where it’s from. https://www.instagram.com/p/C_ipCbptTqe/?igsh=MWJ1aXl1MnM5NGUxNQ==

Pics from Green Day on Facebook

Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach congratulated Billie Joe on his sobriety on Instagram. I've cropped some of Green Day's pics from last night https://www.instagram.com/p/C_i97XZP4B6/?igsh=ZTZ2dmg2NXB2b3Bu From Green Day's Instagram story

I get Back in the USA and Ha Ha You're Dead from my first listen.

and they're just kids. Aren't those types all for protecting kids?

I was at this show in the front of the mosh it was awesome. Just as good as last time. Their consistency and Billies awesome voice are what makes them great 👍

14 new songs i never ever expected to get new pinhead music, so happy right now!

Seeing a lot of speculation about it being because of a drone?

And it's always fun to do it with a 62-year-old disabled woman 😂 (For those curious, I'm sitting in my purchased seat, my mom and Alissa are in the seats I won because I'm selfish and took the slightly better seat... Not that much better, though 😂)

not only is it new it sounds vintage too. hell yes more of this please

Fun fact: this is the first time I’ve ever drank a beer at a Green Day show. Seats, man. I could get used to this.

Couple of pics from Greg Alice Baxley was having Green Day cappuccino From Green Day's Instagram story

Here’s the video of Jason playing the new song.

I've been waiting over a year for this. They got together and recorded new music sometime in May 2023 (remember when Jason did that acoustic set in Oakland and played one new song?) Anyway, very excited to finally hear it!

Now I'm confused...

I went to the Hershey show last night and it was great! I almost missed out on this one when it was supposed to happen a few weeks ago, but since they rescheduled I bought tickets off of a friend who couldn't make it to the new date. I was kinda bummed that the merch line was out of patches by the time I got there, and they didn't have the shirt I wanted in my size, so I saved myself $50 lol. It was a weird start, the tickets I got from my friend were cheap and they were some of the worst seats in the place, I was in the section furthest from the stage and in row W 😬 the Linda Lindas and Rancid were great but since I was so far away it almost didn't feel like I was there, it was like I was just watching a video of a live show, but that definitely changed once green day came on, Billie has a way of bringing everyone into the performance no matter how bad your seats are! When he was giving a speech during Letterbomb he said that people need to leave trans kids alone, which made me happy to hear, but then it felt even better when the whole stadium cheered after he said it 🖤

And if I die before October 25??? As soon we get it, better 😂

Damn looking straight out of 2004 and still just as hot!
