Hey party people (at least I hope that's what those young folks today say), So I've been a fan for a while and have been collecting some stuff over the years and besides doing scans of artwork I also like to scan magazines and books. Especially this year I focused on a lot of Japanese mags I wanted to share since not too many people outside of Japan have seen these or people from outside of Germany have seen the German mags I also have. Since I always wanted to have the American Idiot tour book they did (actually "just" tour rehearsal photos and dates) and since it's AI's anniversary, I wanted to share HQ scans of those as well. Since I'm a perfectionist I edited the pictures to be as close as possible to the original mag or how it "should" look digitized, these took a lot of time and I wanted to share as much as possible at once with you. There's still stuff to scan and/or edit. Here's a short list of what's coming next: Warning Tour Book, Crossbeat 2001/12, Guitar Breakers 2004/10, Crossbeat 1995/11, Crossbeat 2000/08, Visions 2009/05, (maybe) Billboard 2009/05, etc. Well, here's the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hk68uJ_YwpQBby3nlLWhRAWU6_8vdAkE?usp=sharing Enjoy!

Dookie vinyl with the band’s own poop 💩

Fuck this band, I have home repairs that will be delayed once again, it seems 😄

I mean, I'd buy that. 🤣 I mean, the crynyl thing was pretty cool. I didn't buy it because I have to resist the urge to buy everything LOL, but it was kind of a cute concept.

That's so fucking weird 😂 Saviors vinyl with the band real cum

We’ve said before that Billie’s hair could have it’s own thread here 😂

Played RevRad in honor of its anniversary today. Still my favorite GD album and era.

I was there The press conference was in the Hard Rock Cafe in Caracas, which is located inside a shopping mall, in the highest floor. If I remember things correctly (I might not), they held the conference in the terrace of the Cafe, which was mostly full with journalists and possibly people who had been waiting there all day or employees, so I couldn't get in there. But I was in the area just next to the terrace. There are 2 things I distinctly remember about this conference. First, when they walked pass me on the way in or out, there was just maybe one security guy between them and me, and we were standing on the same level (meaning neither them nor I were in a platform or something) and this was the first time I became fully aware of how short Billie is (barely taller than me) 😂 The other thing I remember is being embarrassed about the questions they got asked (I don't remember if I heard the interview live or a recording of it later), because it was like all these journalists had just found out about Green Day that morning, and the level of fan girling from people in the crowd who would not stop screaming "we love you" or "welcome to Venezuela" or stuff like that or just like "Billiiiieee" 😂 I had pretty high standards for journalists and for how fans should behave back then, I would definitely be more tolerant of these things now that I am older and wiser 😂 (I still think the journalists could have prepared better questions, but they were probably were paid peanuts to interview a band they didn't care about, so I get it) EDIT: Hehe, found a video of part of the press conference in YouTube (starts at about minute 1:15 - the first minute and 15 second being a display of the level of fangirling I was talking about - until Tre tells them to shut up ). EDIT 2: This one has some other questions as well as Billie asking local punk bands to send them their tapes, or bring them to the show next day or bring them stickers for his guitars It also has some shots of the crowd and it's nuts, not sure how they managed to get them out of there safely. And as I was watching the crowd I was "there is no way I was there! I would have completely panicked in a crowd like that!" and then I spotted myself in there for the briefest of seconds and remembered this was 2010, about 7 years before the event that gave me PTSD, so of course I was there and I wasn't in panic 😅🙃

Raj who once upon a time played with Billie and Mike invited me to follow some band on facebook. U.S or something? I don't even care if it's really him or not. I'm basically IN Green Day now.

Green Day are nominated for an MTV EMA. Get voting people! https://rocksound.tv/news/mtv-emas-2024-nominees#copy_link

I just want more European shows. 😅 but judging by the ad I'm guessing some sort of dookie special edition.

Goddammit, I'd probably buy that too. 🤣 Wait, you seriously want something normal? Damn. 🤣

Oh, for fuck's sake. Here I was hoping it'd be something normal and actually anticipated like, uhm, I don't know, more European dates for next summer?

I mean, twisted Green Day is the best Green Day though. 🤣

A collab for another $200+

His sideburns are very cute, however this specific thread has made me aware of just how many insane hairdos he’s had over the years that I’ve just blindly accepted.

Dunno but I'd say not with all the shows we already know about announced for next year? Looks like they'll be touring Europe again which could mean another US leg too?

His voice 🤯

What do we think this is hinting at? Maybe a Saviors Deluxe edition? That’s my vote currently EDIT: Alright I’m abandoning my last theory in favor of Dookie vinyl with dookie infused in it, stay classy GDC

Where's @solongfromthestars so I can piggyback on her post? Well, 14 years ago (8th of October 2010) was Green Day's first and only concert in Venezuela to date. Pretty easy anniversary to remember as it's also my mom's birthday. I sang happy birthday to her at midnight, because I during the day I'd be in the queue all day and then in the concert. I actually found the post I made back then to recap the show. I was not very active in GDC back then, so I was surprised to find I had posted here, and quite happy too because I didn't remember half the stuff I wrote there, but reading brought a lot of it back. The main highlight being Billie Joe having to save himself during EJN because the kid he brought on stage didn't speak English and didn't know what to do (but was completely adorable). This show was long (and of course I don't say that as a complain, on the contrary), that's why at first I had trouble believing they had played 37 songs in the show in Lyon this year, because I knew it had been less in Caracas, but that that show had been so much longer. And I was to 2 shows of the 21CBD tour in NYC before this, so I knew it was going to be a long show, but it was loooonger than I expected. I've always suspected it's because of how relaxed rule enforcement is in South America, I imagine Billie going "what do you mean the curfew is around midnight, what happens if we play longer? ... You mean, it's okay if we play longer?" 😂 I had heard Going to Pasalacqua and Christie Road before (at least partially) in one of the NYC shows in 2009, but this concert was the first I heard Letterbomb, Whatsername and Give Me Novacaine live I was in a really dark place in terms of my mental health when that show happened, and it was so cathartic to hear those songs that got me into Green Day and that got me through some pretty rough times back in 2005/2006 too. What a welcome relief that show was. And to finally see them in Venezuela after so much traveling for this band was also so exciting, I had given up hope on that happening. Also, absolutely crazy to think that this was the last Green Day show I attended until Bataclan last year. Anyways, I'm sure @solongfromthestars will come with more pics to share from that show 🙂

What is this? I opened Facebook and saw there was a video and I’m like, “OMG A NEW SONG?!?!?!?” But it’s just a bad quality recording of Basket Case

Well, judging from the first two shots of the video, I guess we're getting a Dookie... ...old school Game Boy video game? 😅

My money is on a vinyl with Punk Bunny Coffee on it, because they have also been pushing that like crazy. Although Dookie with Dookie would make sense too 😂 Well, if I must pay 500$ to hear Dookie with a sprinkle of body fluids, I'd rather hear it live and get the sprinkle live too 😂 (or get cheap seats far from the stage this time, depending on what they want to sprinkle - my love for this band I guess has limits after all 😂)

I just read on them and their past work is slightly concerning, AI models and chat bots? Huh? This is also the same studio behind FOB’s “crynyl” when they filled vinyl with their own tears for their last album. what is going on…

Nevermind Billie, are you seeing how cute Mike looks there? Even the camera person was doing so many close ups of him during the interview. It's coming back to me why I had such a major Mike crush at the time (his part in American Eulogy is also to blame for that)

Billie is very cute with those sideburns!

On this day 8 years ago (7 October 2016), Green Day played Rough Trade in NYC. Somewhere Now was played for the first time. Revolution Radio was released 8 years ago today. I like the cover art, but I still think they should have used the alternative art. The Youngblood lyric video was also released 8 years ago today. 14 years ago (7 October 2010), Green Day did a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela. More photos: 15 years ago (7 October 2009), the 21 Guns music video was released. I think this 21 Guns ad on MSN was from around the same time the video was released. If you've ever wondered what the teen years of a 90s child looked like, this is it. Green Day also played O2 World in Berlin, Germany on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour on 7 October 2009. Interesting that Give Me Novacaine was played in the encore rather than early in the show like it was later. More photos: 30 years ago (7 October 1994), Green Day played in Lund, Sweden while supporting Bad Religion on the Dookie Tour. 31 years ago (7 October 1994), Green Day played the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, OH while supporting Bad Religion.

It's definitely been tuned, but tastefully, as opposed to Awesome as Fuck disaster.

I still can't believe how Billie keeps aging backwards LOL. He really needs to share his skincare routine.

Will be updated as Higher quality sources pop up in the coming days.

I feel the same way. It’s not hard for me to get emo over my history with Green Day, but this tour made me especially nostalgic and appreciate why they’re so special to me and how long they’ve been in my life. It was such a fun, good vibes tour and I feel so lucky that I got to attend. Of course I also love more intimate shows, but there was something really incredible about seeing tens of thousands of people moving and singing in unison on Billie’s command. Billie and the entire band are so fucking good at their jobs and I’m so proud to be a fan.
