Lowlife was my #2 most played song and it only came out in October

I only started using Spotify in October so my numbers are quite low but already very Green Day orientated, Dilemma was my top song which surprised me.

I'm surprised by my top songs. It had me in the top .001% for OEB. When I chose a song from Saviors, I tended to go with Dilemma, LIT20s, Goodnight Adeline, or Suzi Chapstick. Hell, I thought Black Haired Girl would be on the list. I picked that one more than any other the past few months.

Whatever that YT channel called "dzd ps" posted is not real. It's AI processed stuff, not any leaked material, unfortunately.

The band will play at The Town Festival along with Iggy Pop and Sex Pistols

I'm going!!! But I do hope there are more dates I want to see Dookie and AI in full!!!!!!!!!

I think so, yes. It's pretty visible in the nimrod and the Warning days he was on the larger side. Glad our guy is healthy now! But anyway, I find the bungee cable funny because the strap is already maxed out and still not long enough considering how short Billie is. I actually did something similar recently where I tied a shoelace to the end of my strap then taped it to the guitar for it to hang in the correct spot. A friend of mine also suggested the bungee cable served a purpose during a jump. When you land, your body doesn't immediately absorb the shock of hitting the ground. Ingenious!

On this day 4 years ago (4 December 2020), we were enlightened by Money Money 2020 Part II. I'm sure The Network tried to mind control me but I'm too tired for that shit. 20 years ago (4 December 2004), Green Day played in Monterrey, Mexico on the American Idiot Tour. 24 years ago (4 December 2000), Green Day played the Colosseum in Munich, Germany on the Warning Tour. 27 years ago (4 December 1997), Green Day played the Event Center Arena in San Jose, CA on the Nimrod Tour. 30 years ago (4 December 1994), Green Day played the UNH Fieldhouse in Durham, NH on the Dookie Tour.

We are percentage buddies! 👋 I'm also top 0.005%, but you beat me in the minutes, I "only" have 21,716. Not sure if I should be proud or mortified by any of these numbers Top song is Fancy sauce, I'm in the 0.001% of listeners with 268 streams? I'm a bit disappointed in everyone, including myself. That is not even 1 listen per day on average 😅 After Fancy Sauce, top songs are Bobby Sox, Dilemma, 1981 and Goodnight Adeline... a bit surprised about that last one, as I choose Strange Days and Saviors way more often. I'm guessing it due to the order of the album. If I am listening while doing something else, I'll often go back and reply Bobby Sox after it's passed, but not immediately because I'm doing something else. But if I'm in the second play of Bobby Sox I might then skip OEB in the second pass.

Now that's a book worth getting, The Punk Photography of Murray Bowles. https://1234gorecords.shop/products/pre-order-hail-murray-the-punk-photography-of-murray-bowles-1982-1995-book?_pos=1&_psq=murray&_ss=e&_v=1.0&fbclid=PAY2xjawG8-gJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABpqt6tOkWIQyzvbhtU59aLbVrlaN3_PaTETVE0x5raj9WNJckKjB0u1hRBA_aem_Dofdui5RC6WlKriwHipuzA

even if that cover wasnt a real studio recording, it still made a single (Warning CD1) and its the only pre 21CB B-side that hasn't had a wide release on streaming services, which would make it perfect to throw on this hypothetical second Rarities comp as much as it pains me to say it you're probably right on the masters being rotted, however theres a slight chance that Larry Livermore could have a back up somewhere that he could easily give to green day

Billboard chart update- Alternative Airplay: 6 (up from 7) Rock & Alternative Airplay: 9 (down from 7) Mainstream Rock Airplay: stays at 11

Interesting! What About Today, Things I Heard Today, Second Time Around, Waste Away. Haven’t heard of any of these. Anyone have links to YouTube recordings of these? Edit: I think I found them. Not that great. Is Waste Away the first version of Oh Love? Oh Love ended up being a great song. Dreamcatcher would be cool if they released that from the songs we’ve been talking about and Oh Girl.

No they won't.

I'd die to hear Dirty Rotten Bastards live!!! And Brutal Love...🥰

It Will be called Magnus opus of the iglorious kind...

The bsides album would have to be from 21st cb til now

Billie’s vocal delivery on Nothing Ever Happens reminds me a lot of Turn Me Loose from Love Is For Losers which is great because that song is one of the best things he’s ever done imho.

I saw people in the reddit thread that had over 200,000.
