Yesterday (15 October 2024), Green Day played the Corona Capital festival in Mexico. 19 years ago (15 October 2005), Bullet in a Bible was released and Green Day attended the premiere at the Arclight Theatre in Los Angeles. More photos: 27 years ago (15 November 1997), Green Day played Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, RI on the Nimrod Tour. "Back in '97 I was sharing an apartment in Providence with Art Tedeschi, drummer for a now-defunct band called Waterdog. They sounded very much like Green Day and were on the same label. A couple of times they'd shared the stage. So one Saturday, Green Day was scheduled to play at Lupo's and Billie Joe had our address and decided to track Art down. So Art answered the door to find him standing there. He came in and sat around for a bit. Then he and Art went to Berk's Shoes on Thayer Street to buy himself some new shoes. I had other things to do. That's about it. Nothing much more to say about that one." — MyaloMark 30 years ago (15 November 1994), Green Day played the Mammoth Events Center in Denver, CO on the Insomniac Tour.

"Lawrence Livermore, the guy who owns Lookout, was also impressed by the fact that we came to play at his house. He lives about 300 miles north of San Francisco. The last 10 miles of which are on a dirt logging road. We played, powered by a portable generator, in the rain for about six people. It was so cold that Bill almost had to stop playing because his hands were numb. Lawrence paid us with a six pack of beer and we didn't get home until five in the morning. I think that experience convinced Lawrence that we were worth the money." — Mike Dirnt "They never 'auditioned' for me. That is a story that was more or less made up by Ben Weasel when he wrote the band bio for Dookie. The real story is that they came up to play a show with my band, the Lookouts. This was in 1988, when Tré was still in the Lookouts, and John Kiffmeyer aka Al Sobrante was drumming for Green Day (then called Sweet Children). It wasn't actually a real 'show', more of a party for a bunch of kids that went to high school with Tré. But because the weather was bad, and there was some snow on the roads up in the mountains where the party was supposed to be, almost none of the kids showed up. Even the kid whose house it was didn't show up, so the other kids ended up breaking into the house and setting up a generator, because there wasn't any other electricity. So Sweet Children/Green Day ended up playing for literally five kids, and yet they played as if they were the Beatles at Shea Stadium. I mean they played their hearts out, and I was thinking, 'I don't care whether anyone buys it or not, I'm putting out a record by this band.' As for what songs they played, I couldn't totally remember, except that they played most or all of the songs from 1,000 Hours and some of the songs that ended up on 39/Smooth. ...I watched from the back, only half paying attention at first. But before they'd finished even one song, I was absolutely riveted. I'd seen this level of performance before, but only in giant, packed arenas or stadiums, delivered by bands at the peak of their careers. 16-year-old Billie Joe exuded the casual self-confidence of a superstar, offset slightly but not entirely by a shy, self-effacing humility. Stopping every few songs to thank his minuscule audience, he sang and played as though he'd been doing this all his life - which, I would learn, wasn't far from the truth. Walking up to me afterward, he offhandedly asked, 'What did you think?' 'I want to make a record with you guys,' was all I could say. They were barely getting started - this might have been their third or fourth show ever - but I'd seen and heard all I needed to. They were like a modern, updated, punk rock version of the Beatles. They could seriously be that big, I caught myself thinking. Crazy talk? Of course. Yet at that moment it made perfect, undeniable sense. The Lookouts never played that night; by the time Sweet Children finished, it was midnight and our 'audience', worried they'd get in trouble with their parents, said goodbye and headed home. On the long drive back to Spy Rock, twisting the radio dial in search of an audible signal and thankful for my aging truck's slightly more than adequate heater, I had barely an inkling of how the night's events were about to change my life forever." — Larry Livermore

I can't start each day without checking out "Green Day on This Day" thread. Memories.

Great! 😃 Will also be there with hubby but he will only join me the first night. Let’s talk about this again in June…!😊

Father of all motherfuckers 2 incoming!

Will be there with hubby and possibly another friend trying to get a ticket, would love to meet up!

Yes, I've been streaming it. I love the entire record and Mumbles is my favorite because with it's weirdly specific descriptions of moments and of the person, I really feel like I might know who Mumbles is! And with the song Asheville being a skip and hop up the road for me....it's entirely possible. Very weird.

Front of stage should be fine. I‘ve got that too, for both nights… And I like how many people of this community will come to Vienna. Would love to meet some of you there!

Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that it couldn't have had a underlying theme going through it. But yes, likely it did not. I'm pretty sure I'd have loved it if songs like Everyones Breaking Down, Shoplifter and The Pedestrian is the style there were going for, though. I personally have a soft spot for that Green Day era, especially Billies vocals.

Why does that doll in the left corner look like a replica of Billie?

Update: The files with the name "1995 - New Age Punks" were now identified as being part of the story "Punk" and "New Age Punks" in the Magazine Music Life from May 1995, so the file names were changed accordingly. Today I received the parcel from Japan I mentioned earlier containing 11 magazines, 10 of those featured Green Day (partially on the cover) and I just scanned them all. So if you're interested in cool photos and interesting ads, stay tuned. There will be updates in the next weeks. I try to only update when I have uploaded a bulk of images. Just added: WARNING Tour Booklet (this is quite large and a little tricky to scan and edit, took me quite some time, but I uploaded it all for you ) -> "Green Day Warning Tour Booklet" in the folder 2000-2008

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
