Billie comes in 36 minutes into the broadcast

There won't be a Trump album. Billie has been vocal about not wanting to write about him if he can help it. Of course it has inspired a few songs despite him saying that, but I doubt it will be a major influence. There certainly won't be any songs about him turning out to be great. Billie has felt this way about him for much longer than most people have been aware he exists. Personally I'd rather have more lost love songs than an anti-Trump album. It won't change anyone's opinion. What is there to say about Trump that hasn't already been said by a million different people on both sides, anyway? He's what he is. We all know that whether we like him or not.

So basically you're opening a new album speculation thread?

Saviors is up for Best Rock Album Grammy for 2025!

Billie has said he gets no inspiration from Trump and doesn’t want to give him that attention, and I don’t blame him. Amazingly, I feel like the most effective things that could be said on this topic were already addressed on American Idiot. That album is proving to be ahead of its time in a rather unfortunate way.

Ugh I still haven't recovered from amount of spam and pointless theories in the 1972 thread..

I stumbled across this while looking up Boy George's twitter account: This is so freaking cool. And I think they met each other at a recent Cure concert. Be still my gothy heart.

Apparently Cuatro was nominated for Best Music Film in 2014 but other than that yes. Great news!

Guys! Green Day is nominated for best Rock Grammy for 2025! The Grammys are currently announcing 2025 nominees and Haley Williams just announced best Rock Nominees. Saviors is up for the Grammy!! Congrats boys!!! AHHHH Billie is on the nomination broadcast!!! He announced record and album of the year! I am losing my shit at work!!! I didn't know he was appearing, so it was a total surprise! Sadly, Green Day did not make the cut for these categories

Coming Clean or Having a Blast. "Do you ever build up all the small things in your head to make one problem that adds up to nothing" is the most relatable line.

Awesome. I think they really deserve best rock album and best rock song. I'd be happy if they one either.

Billie announced the Album and Record of the year nominees on the stream.

“People know where Green Day stands,” says Armstrong. “It's in our songs. It's the way that we've talked about things ever since the beginning. Even before that, we were writing about politics. You know, we have a firm stance of anti-racism [and] anti-homophobia. I'm a middle aged man now. We brought out [nonprofit group] HeadCount, and it was by far the biggest turnout for people registering to vote that they've ever had on a tour. For Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish to come out and say something, I'd rather be an ally of that than to be trying to jump on that. But I agree with them.” I wasn’t totally sure why Billie wasn’t directly addressing politics as much at shows anymore or why the band didn’t directly address the lead up to the election, but I really love and appreciate the logic of just getting fans registered to vote and supporting the younger artists who (tried) to mobilize their fanbases.

I am all for another anti-establishment, revolutionary punk-rock opera to be the voice of the teens (and not so teen too) who are sitting in their rooms right now going "what the actual fuck?" Doubt it's what we'll get. But doesn't change the fact that I'm ready for it

I agree, it felt sort of all over the place like HLAHG did and it didn’t tell a compelling story clearly. They should have gone deeper into the interviews about where the band really was at the end of the Warning era, with a triumphant finish to where they ended up. They did that loosely but more interviews with the people involved like Rob Cavallo, Warner execs, etc. cut all the repeat footage from HLAHG and BIAB and for god’s sake give up on the story that the tapes were stolen and just tell the truth. Instead of “we had a lot of fun on tour”, show how they first wrote an okay album, their career was on the line, the label pushed them to do something better and with hard work and sacrifice (like two divorces and a DUI) they got there and succeeded. It’s an emotional story if they ever want to really tell it.

They deserve all three but it's just bad luck to be nominated alongside the Rolling Stones' best album in years. At a minimum Dilemma deserves to win I'd like to see them get that at least. And have they always had artists reading out the nomination announcements like this? I don't remember seeing that before.

This is awesome!

Finally, that's awesome! And kind of surreal, considering the amount of shit that has infiltrated the charts in the last ten years. Is this their first nomination since American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording? Time surely flies fast..

When you casually decide to check out the Grammy Nominations broadcast hoping for a Green Day mention. When Green Day's nomination is announced, you race up the stairs at work to get back to your computer to tell everyone on GDC and proceed to almost have a heart attached at your desk when Billie appears in the broadcast to announce Album of the Year. Seriously, I'm so glad the office is dead today. I could not contain my excitement

I didn't know they were nominated for three! The live broadcast only mentioned Best Rock Album. Yay!

The democrats really need some kind of revolutionary candidate going against the democratic establishment just like Bernie Sanders did. Yet another moderate nominee is not going to appeal to the 15 million people who stayed home in 2024 compared to 2020. The democrats really can't wait for the republicans to have another crisis like Covid in order to win. They need a message stronger than "I'm not Trump". I'm not expecting another AI/21CB album but Billie for sure has a chance of writing some political commentary that really hits this time around. It's for sure gonna be a dark period for politics

Can any track off Dookie be called underrated? I really love FOD though.

On this day last year (7 November 2023), Green Day played the Magazzini Generali in Milan, Italy on the Saviors Tour. More photos: 7 years ago (7 November 2017), Green Day played the Anfiteatro do Beira Rio in Porto Alegre, Brazil on the Revolution Radio Tour. More photos: 8 years ago (7 November 2016), the Still Breathing music video was released. This is one of Green Day's best videos. I love all the different storylines and how they're all connected despite being completely different, which was what Billie said he wanted to achieve with the song. And of course it's lovely to see the ending where Billie returns to the practice space and Mike and Tre are there waiting for him. 12 years ago (7 November 2012), the Stray Heart music video was released. That's one of my favourite songs but I admit I don't care about the video because the band aren't in it. 26 years ago (7 November 1998), Green Day played Via Funchal in São Paulo, Brazil on the Nimrod Tour. They were also interviewed there. More photos: 27 years ago (7 November 1997), Green Day played The Roxy in Atlanta, GA on the Nimrod Tour. 32 years ago (7 November 1992), Green Day played at 924 Gilman Street. 33 years ago (7 November 1991), Green Day played Kulturstation in Munich, Germany. 35 years ago (7 November 1989), Green Day played Komotion in San Francisco, CA.

The documentary definitely has its shortcomings. I also thought it would have more of a narrative and take us through the timeline of everything leading to American Idiot and beyond. But I still enjoyed all the fun bits we got especially things we didn't get on HLAHG and BIAB. Definitely feel like there was more they could've done, but I'm still happy with it. I had a good time watching it, whereas HLAG is decent....but then I remember the dance number in the beginning and I get mad all over again. Really disappointed that a disc was wasted on that.

7 years ago yesterday (5 November 2017), Green Day played in Curitiba, Brazil on the Revolution Radio Tour. More photos: 9 years ago (5 November 2015), Green Day played at the afterparty for the first screening of Ordinary World at the 41 Ocean Club in Santa Monica, CA. A few fans won entry through the Idiot Club. More photos: 15 years ago (5 November 2009), Green Day played Know Your Enemy and Minority at the EMAs. They won the Best Rock award. They were also nominated for Best Group (Tokio Hotel won) and Best Live Act (U2 won). More photos: 19 years ago (5 November 2005), Green Day played Wake Me Up When September Ends on the German TV show "Wetten, dass?" 24 years ago (5 November 2000), Green Day played the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco, CA on the Warning Tour. "It was supposed to be a 'million band march.' It didn't quite make it to a million bands… a lot of my friends were getting thrown out of Downtown Rehearsal Studios, a place that bands had been practicing for years, because the new owners wanted to raise all the rents. That sort of hit home with me because it was about music and art, and it wasn't just that studio; every day you could read in the paper how it was getting worse and worse for musicians in San Francisco. Rents were skyrocketing, even to the point where clubs were having a hard time staying open. After a while it starts to piss you off, and I thought my band could at least help bring attention to the issue. It's funny, because there a guy who buys and sells property who hangs out at my mom's work, and he was telling her, 'Oh, your son doesn't understand.' Well, that’s obviously coming from someone who doesn't see the other side, that's never even been on the other side, that doesn’t know what it's like to be thrown out of where you live." — Billie Joe More photos: 26 years ago (5 November 1998), Green Day played the Ginásio Mineirinho in Belo Horizonte, Brazil on the Nimrod Tour. 27 years ago (5 November 1997), Green Day played the Embassy Music Hall in Orlando, FL on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (5 November 1995), Green Day played the State Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg, PA on the Insomniac Tour. 33 years ago (5 November 1993), Green Day played in Mannheim, Germany. ---------------------------------- On this day 8 years ago (6 November 2016), Green Day played Bang Bang and American Idiot at the EMAs in Rotterdam. They were nominated for Best Rock and Best Live Act, but won Global Icon. More photos: 15 years ago (6 November 2009), Green Day played the Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. More photos: 19 years ago (6 November 2005), Green Day played on Top of the Pops at the BBC Television Centre in London, England. More photos: Green Day's page on the Top of the Pops website at the time: 20 years ago (6 November 2004), Green Day played the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on the American Idiot Tour. More photos: This photoshoot was also done for NME that day. 26 years ago, Green Day played Metropolitan in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (6 November 1995), Green Day played the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, MD on the Insomniac Tour. 31 years ago (6 November 1993), Green Day played the CMJ Music Festival in NYC. More photos: For now I'm carrying on. I decided to stop, then predictably felt sad about it after putting in all this work. I'll say if I do eventually decide that a post is going to be the last one.

Oh, he will never hide the fact that he is reading from a script for moments like this.

Exciting news!!!

Literally every nomination they got for 21CB was in the rock category, not alternative - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/52nd_Annual_Grammy_Awards

Bless Billie for trying to read the script and having no idea to look at any point of during video. Three nominations is awesome, yay!!!

Great news, would love them to win all three! what’s the difference between record of the year and album of the year? Some serious shit nominations poor Billie had to announce 😂😂

Best Alternative Music Album Brittany Howard - What Now Clairo - Charm Kim Gordon - The Collective Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Wild God St. Vincent - All Born Screaming

After first Trump era we had FOAM... Not very optimistic

Wow I didn't expect that Saviors didn't perform much better than FOAM. Maybe on the long term it will outperform FOAM.

Just got a mug from this company/person, not entirely sure, which has been stashed away for Christmas (so I barely saw it) but think it looks great so far. Thought I'd share early in case anyone else needed a gift. https://destinymaydesign.com/

Having a blast and pulling reeth are bangers. Eminus sleepus, sassafras roots and in the end are great punk rock songs. FOD is not underrated, they play It live a lot

It feels like yesterday we were still talking about the teasers and the theories around them. Let me detox completely after that shit first 😂

Whoops, I booked a hostel in Luxembourg just in case I decide to go... cancellable until the day before

I just don’t think the music scene is in a place where new Green Day music can be successful. Saviors is fresh and catchy, the singles have all been modern-sounding and clear-wormy. Rock, especially an old rock band, just doesn’t sell anymore.

What a perfect description you make of this brilliant album. GD have done it again. What a year 2024 had been one way and another for us GD fans. Yet I'm somewhat saddened and feel really really sorry for the band members, if greenday.fm/charts/album-sales/, are a true reflection of the listening public out there. Listed below are the estimated worldwide sales + streaming (album equivalent units) figures for Green Day’s albums along with the pure album sales (for releases prior to 2015) and any RIAA certifications they have been awarded for US sales. The worldwide sales + streaming overall total and individual studio albums totals are updated on the first and 15th of every month. Updated Nov 1. Saviors Sales + Streaming 252,000 Billboard (US) watch: Positive reviews from fans and critics didn’t equal out to much of a sales boost for Saviors over the bands previous morante divisive album, Father Of All. In it’s first week Saviors matched Father Of All‘s #4 Billboard 200 debut after selling 49,000 copies in the US, 1,000 more than it’s predecessors first week performance. Father Of All Motherfuckers Sales + Streaming 276,000 Billboard (US) watch: Despite generally favourable album reviews from critics, Father Of All had fans divided with the bands new direction which resulted in the worst first week sales total of their career on a major label. The album debuted on the Billboard charts at #4 selling 48,000 copies in the US which was almost half the first week sales of their previous album, Revolution Radio, which came out of the gate with 95,000. The album is by far the lowest selling of the bands career. How can this be. Undervalued comes to mind, or better still underappreciated, that is not valued highly enough. Where's the 1.3m who bought RevRad, or 6.5m 21st Cen, or 24m AI. I know musical tastes can change over time, but is punk rock no longer relevant? Surely not. And yet when you look at tickets available for live show, many venues are sold out. Proving that GD are still one of, if not, the most stunning, musically and visually, to watch live ever. And again I was so lucky to see them again this year, they were better than ever. I don't understand. Maybe it's me. All I can say is they don't know what they are missing. Their loss. Don't lose heart GD we love you, always. ❤️

I was there that weekend in 2005. The Bowl seems to have been forgotten about as a major concert venue altogether. Barely a handful since the BIAB shows. Should've done it on the UK leg of the Saviors tour, but then again, why use that when you can use Wembley and get an extra 25k people in a venue located in the capital? Shame.

https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/ Due to 20th anniversary release, according to greenday.fm, original album American Idiot is listed as re-entry to Billboard top 200 albums at number 39. Nice one https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/ And re-entry to UK top 100 albums at 32

So, after being absolutely obsessed with Green Day since January 2nd 2005 (yes I remember the exact date), the obsession faded away gradually, but steadily and completely (or so I thought at the time) some time around 2013. It was not too long after the Trilogy came out. For a decade I walked around having no idea what Green Day was up to. I heard they were releasing a new album, Revolution Radio, but paid zero attention to it. Life was too hectic at the time, my music taste had branched out a bit, and the name, Revolution Radio, I think reminded me too much of 99 Revolutions, which is one of my least favorite Green Day songs. Father of all... didn't even register on my radar. Then October 30th 2023 comes, I checked Instagram mindlessly scrolling while dngrinki my coffee after some morning meeting, and a Green Day post catches my eye because it has the words Bataclan and Paris in it. All this time I had kept Green Day on my Instagram, but I wasn't paying attention, I would very often skip their stories when they were promoting stuff (I know, I know), so I wasn't sure what this was. A memory from a show they played at Bataclan? No! It's a show in Bataclan for that weekend. I got the feeling that I owed it to my teenage/early twenties self to at least try to go. Back when I was obsessed with Green Day I was living in Venezuela, and I remembered often seeing Green Day (or one of their side projects) playing these "surprise" shows in small venues, and a lot of my online friends in the US or the UK going, and as happy as I felt for them, I also felt so left out. I would have given an arm and a leg back then for Green Day to play a small surprise show in my city. And now here I was, living in Paris, and Green Day was going to play here, in Paris, in a venue with a capacity of 1500 people no more than 40min away from my place! So yes, I felt I owed it to myself to at least try to get a ticket. On the other hand I genuinely had an ethical conundrum: because this had been my dream back then, I knew how much this could mean to people who were fans now, today. If I got a ticket, would I be occupying a place I no longer deserved, and someone else who deserved it more would be left out? I know it might sound silly, but I really struggled with this. In the end I decided to leave it to fate: I would try to buy the tickets, and I knew it wasn't going to be easy, so if I got them that'd be it, I'd go. Tickets went on sale next morning, October 31st, and I was the billionth person on the queue, by the time it was my turn it appeared to be sold it. "Oh well, I saved some good money at least!" Went into a zoom meeting for work, and when it was over some 30min later, I switched tabs and tried again, kind of just out of habit. And suddenly I have two tickets for the show in Bataclan! So I tell my partner we're going to see Green Day live this Saturday, and he's a bit confused by this (he has stayed confused by the effect this band has on me ever since ). So to hype myself up I decide to listen to their whole discography again and to catch up and listen to what they had released since the Trilogy. (Revolution Radio was love at first sight, Father of all.. has grown on me). So by Saturday I am very excited, but still sane We arrive to the venue about 20 minutes before doors and the line was huge! By the time we got in the area in front of the stage was very full, so I stayed back on a slightly higher level in which I was right at the front, so I had a pretty good view. I hadn't been to a Green Day show since 2010, I hadn't seen what their shows were like lately, so I had no idea what expect in terms of anything: setlist, duration, did they still sound amazing live? did they still have so much energy? And then they came on stage, and the moment they played the first chords of American Idiot (the opening song for that show) insanity came rushing back. It was instant. I was suddenly 15 again, living out a dream I didn't know I still had. They sounded as good as I remembered, they were still as full of energy, and full of surprises. They played Look Ma No Brains twice in a row, they also played TADIKM twice (but not in a row), Geek Stink Breath and Stuart and the Ave. They debuted 1981, the played Revolution Radio and Father of all, which were a debut for me at least, Letterbomb, which I didn't know had become less rare in their live shows, then they brought someone on stage to play Good Riddance, something I had never seen them do before. I just couldn't stop smiling and singing along and jumping up and down the whole time (and I had a bad foot and a bad knee at the time, but they also reverted back to their teenage version, because they didn't bother me once during the show). And I remembered all the lyrics too! The only song I couldn't sing along to were 1981 and Father of all. I loved and enjoyed every second of it.

On this day last year (4 November 2023), Green Day played the Bataclan in Paris, France. More photos: 20 years ago (4 November 2004), Green Day were on Musique Plus in Montreal, Canada. More photos: Later that day, Green Day played the Centre Bell in Montreal, Canada. 27 years ago (4 November 1997), Green Day played the Theatre Club in Fort Lauderdale, FL on the Nimrod Tour. "The place was packed! Billie Joe even said, 'This place is way overcrowded, but I won't say anything.' Green Day started off with Nice Guys Finish Last, but only played about 4 songs from Nimrod. I was a little surprised to hear Green Day go back so far and play Knowledge and Paper Lanterns, but I was thrilled because I love those songs. Throughout the show, Billie Joe and Mike sprayed water from at the crowd in the front. In the middle of the show, one kid was on someone's shoulders, shining a flashlight in Billie's eyes, so Billie got a flashlight and said, 'How the fuck do you like it? No one wants to look at you, get the fuck down. My flashlight is bigger than yours.' Billie posed like Marilyn Manson and chanted, 'The beautiful people, the beautiful people,' when starting Longview. Billie was very funny. Tre was quite calm until the end when he trashed his drum set. He jumped on it, causing it to collapse and the picked pieces of it up, then smashed it back down. Mike didn't say much, except a few things that I couldn't understand. Finally, after their encore, Mike and Billie broke out the champagne and squirted it on fans in the front. Green Day sounded awesome, and put on a GREAT show. They were truly spectacular and no one was disappointed!" 29 years ago (4 November 1995), Green Day played the Community War Memorial in Rochester, NY on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (4 November 1994), Green Day played the Olympic Velodrome in Carson, CA on the Dookie Tour. "This was a challenging shoot. The place was huge, the bleachers were a mile away so I had to get somewhat close to make it worthwhile. There were areas on the grass that had little humps of hills and I staked one out so I could shoot over the crowd, here is the results. WHAT'S UP YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS!" — fromthenosebleeds More stills from that video: 33 years ago (4 November 1991), Green Day played Roter Sand in Bremerhaven, Germany. 35 years ago (4 November 1989), Green Day played in El Sobrante, CA. I had no idea they'd gone to South America so early in their career, or if I did know I'd forgotten. They totally could have played Venezuela. Thanks for sharing your story! I'm so glad you got to have this experience It sounds absolutely wild!

To echo what others have said, I love these posts but don't feel bad if you want to stop! Thanks for tagging me for Foxies . I've talked about it a million times but it was just the best thing ever. After following the US tour on GDC the previous year it was like a dream for it to actually happen here and only a week after seeing GD the first time. So glad my sister and I went for it and got on a train to London having no idea if we'd get tickets, we almost didn't even go but in the end everyone who turned up got in and the place wasn't even full (thanks to not being called Green Day and no social media from the band in those days). When we got our wristbands and then a bunch of people we knew from here and FB who we'd met the previous week arrived on a minibus and got theirs too it was the best feeling. Just a super fun, crazy show, absolutely surreal being so up close and intimate with the band, I noticed watching a video the other day that the first time Billie crowdsurfed was less than a minute into the show lmao. We were one back from the barrier first half and on the barrier the second half (perk of not going to the GD show beforehand), in front of Kevin who was awesome. The crowd interaction was constant and so was the beer Billie was drinking, handing out to pass around, and pouring over himself and the crowd, I was drenched from head to toe in beer. My sister got a kiss from Billie, he poured a beer in my mouth/over me, he leaned into crowd to sing so I was standing between his thighs , he crowdsurfed over us multiple times and I got to ruffle his hair lol, he never stopped interacting with the crowd and his Rev persona was a lot of fun, and the way the whole band all joked around. Blown away by the music and the fact they played so long. All the previous shows had been pretty short and especially since they were playing after a full GD show we were expecting it to maybe be under an hour. But then they played Stop Drop and Roll over and over which was greatest and most hilarious thing ever to me, and started doing covers, and it just went on and on, couldn't believe it. When they went off stage the way the crowd brought them back for the encore was by chanting "hey-oh" lol. During A Quick One I decided I would make sure to remember as much of this show as I could and because I think of it and watch videos of it and talk about it with my sister often I've achieved that, I don't think I've stopped feeling excited about it in the last 15 years. Feel very grateful that they kept their "I've got you on my mind, England" promise from the Rev's myspace message after the US tour and that I got to see it along with so many cool people! I think Tony (greendaytone) ended up getting the Rev's rosary beads This is the best picture I've seen from the show , I'm out of shot but my sister's hair is bottom right And that's my sister's hand with the ring and mine next to it lol Only bad thing is they filmed the entire thing with three cameras but never put out a second of footage of it

I was looking over the restored videos to see if there was any weirdness to them. The animated intro to Holiday stuck out to me: The presence of frame blending made me wonder if it was a botched side effect of the restoration, but rest assured, it was indeed always like this. A pattern with these videos is that you may notice certain flaws that weren't present before. I'm glad they didn't try to fix it or anything, just keep it as is. If I had to guess, I'd say the frame blending is from the frame rate of the animation being different from the rest of the video.

Radio Baghdad is also pretty much the same as the officially released demos also. The only difference is the demo on the anniversary set has the actual ending to the song. The ending that would carry over to the final release. The outro instead of the sudden stop. The five song demo was probably the most recent take before this anniversary demo, cause they sound so much alike. But also closer to what we would hear on the final. Regarding the fact that Whatsername and Novacaine are the same, yes. Absolutely. Not only that, they’re the same sample and bit rate as the official releases. They’re 24bit at 48khz. Also if you notice, the way this “Redditor” delivered these demos, the way they were presented. I mean for Pete’s sake, they’re 24bit flac and AIFF files lol. No CD or CD-R for that matter is capable of 24bit sound. It leads more credence to the theory that these did not come from just some random Joe on Reddit lol. These are pro master quality files that can only come from a label. Or someone who has access to master quality files. The fact that they came in AIFF also, is your smoking gun lol. 😆 Either someone from the band, or at the label, decided to give us an early preview two weeks in advanced. There’s just no way. Right before the official release. Too much of a coincidence.
