"let’s put our politics aside" Proceeds to state matter of factly that Americans will be better off with Trump in charge and suggests BJA has been wrong in his criticism of the guy. OP's on the wind up. 😆

Cool that Billie was picked to announce two of the big four categories 😄

This part kills me every time "ugh they haven't had a good record since Dookie....TRE COOL RULES!"

He might be referring to a message board on greenday.com or something he might have read at some point when some news came out. There are some people on here close to the band who post sometimes, but rather rarely. GDC might be too big nowadays with the speculations threads exploding. I guess it was easier to look through in 2003/2004. And I think, as some others, that demos of songs are leaked sometimes to get fan reactions on the progress. Maybe he was curious in 2003/2004 and looked at that message board. P.S.: ThE mUsiC sUcKs...BUT BILLIE'S HAWT!!1!

That video of him announcing is so sweet.

On this day 15 years ago (11 November 2009), Last Night On Earth: Live In Tokyo was released. Green Day also played in Bologna, Italy 15 years ago today. More photos: 19 years ago (11 November 2005), Green Day played Wake Me Up When September Ends on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. More photos: 27 years ago (11 November 1997), Green Day played in an alley behind an HMV shop in NYC. Later that day, Billie Joe played Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. More photos: 29 years ago (11 November 1995), Green Day played the Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA on the Insomniac Tour. "Regarding Geoff Gehman's review of the Green Day concert at Stabler Arena, he obviously wasn't at the same show I was. Green Day was very original, inventive and quite entertaining. Every song the band played sounded clear, quite different from the band's other material, and was eagerly welcomed by the sold-out crowd. I worked this show as part of the stage crew, and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong took the time to talk to us 'roadies' and even signed autographs, while 99 percent of other performers are whisked away to their limos or tour buses and don't even acknowledge the people who make the shows happen." — John Anders The bad review mentioned is on the GDA page. He REALLY didn't like that show. 33 years ago (11 November 1991), Green Day played Klub Modus in Bydgoszcz, Poland. They were also interviewed backstage. More photos and a poster: 34 years ago (11 November 1990), Green Day played in Eggplant's back yard in Pinole, CA.

Hope that's not too much for y'all. Enjoy!

Was very glad to see this news on Friday! The bright spot this week needed....

Okay, first, let’s put our politics aside and agree on one thing, We’re all Green Day fans here and we know how Billie feels about Trump!!! I’m sure Billie is sitting down writing some new songs as we speak!!! The album can go 1 of 2 ways, an angry album about his hatred of Trump, or an honest album about himself coming to terms with the realization that we’re actually much better off with Trump in charge, and being afraid to admit that!!! Also, do you guys see the next album coming out in 2028 or sooner?

Also, I kinda doubt that anyone who's bothered to make an account on GDC would be like "Green Day sucks"... that would just be epically sad on their part. Maybe I still have too much faith in humanity.

You don't understand, bread costing slightly less (which probably isn't going to happen anyway) is a much better outcome than fascist bigots being in charge of the presidency, the house, the senate and the already very conservative supreme court. A party that specifically doesn't support and votes against every position and policy that the majority of the American population support being in charge is apparently a good thing

Do you have an Instagram for your collection? This is mine if you're interested https://www.instagram.com/greendaycollection?igsh=MXRvemxhajk2N2F1Nw==

Would be great to see them win it. Saviors is excellent and especially fresh for a band that’s been around so long. Wow 3 nominations! American Dream for best rock performance and Dilemma for best rock song!

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/

I'm not really into this huge desire to talk about/get C&V but I will add what Rob Cavallo writes in the AI 20 booklet. "So, I got together with the band and they tole me they had written an entire album's worth of material. Wow! Awesome! But there was a problem. The guys were sounding, for whatever reason, just a little bit rusty. The music was good but was it really their best? I took it to my boss (the prescient Tom Whaley . He agreed with me. He said "let's meet with the band". A few days later in the Warner Bros executive conference room, Tom says to me and the guys " we appreciate what you guys have gone through and appreciate this new album. And while we are prepared to release it, we are not prepared to give it the big push (meaning marketing $) because we don't believe this is the best work you are capable of". BOOM! He was so brutally direct! I think I was sweating profusely. Billie looked directly at me and asked "is that what you think too?" "Yes I said, nodding my affirmation. Billie said "ok, let me think about this and process it, and we'll get back to you." Two days later, we were all back in the same conference room. Billie starts "So I';ve been thinking about what you guys said last time....and I think you're right. We want to make out best record and we want you guys to like it and to give it the big push. And we are willing to do what it takes to make that happen. The question is: Tom, are you willing to do it also?" Tom said "sure, what do you need?" The rest is about Rob going to work with them Monday to Friday in Berkeley.
