Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and longtime mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge talk capturing lightning in a bottle—and three Grammy nominations—with ‘Saviors.’ https://www.mixonline.com/news/green-day-grammys-billie-joe-armstrong-chris-lord-alge

This would probably never happen but what if Green Day did “the rock opera tour” and played deep cuts of 21st century breakdown in addition to American idiot’s. That’d be 🔥

Just ordered a 21st Century Breakdown cd that comes with a book of the album art/lyrics off of EBay. It should go well with the trilogy books I have. It’s probably my 2nd most favorite Green Day album and I remembered wanting it back in the day. Just a little Christmas gift to myself.

I can put my 21st 78s set on ebay for you if you'd like lol I just looked and I can't believe how much this has gone up in price. I checked and i had bought mine in 2019 for 14.50 plus 8 shipping on ebay. Crazy.

Oh man, I would love to someday get the 21CB vinyl book set. I thought about it for a while but never pulled the trigger. I do have all the album booklets they've released so far. I remember getting the Trilogy one from WB Canada because it was on sale No regrets! Yeesh. I remember I scored a pink version of Uno for $23 on ebay. Suddenly, my order was canceled the next day. When I asked the seller what happened they said it got damaged when they tried to ship it...more like they realized they could sell it for a higher profit! The trilogy LPs are so pricey. I'm still kicking myself that I never picked them up the last time I saw them at the record store for about $20 a piece. Now, I'm praying they reissue them so I can add them to my collection.

Yeah when the trilogy was first released, they had the option to buy the box set that came with the books and pins. The books were shipped out as the albums released. The box they came in also had a spot for Quatro to fit in.

This morning I decided I could make myself a Christmas present and add something to my GD vinyl collection. So I went to Discogs and ordered Tre (the record not the drummer…😅). Seems to be rare because quite pricey. But well, it‘s Christmas… And I ordered from a German shop, so delivery is cheap. But what‘s fascinating - someone in Italy seems to think this album is worth 1.000,00 euros?!? The regular edition, not some fancy collector’s item. WTF? I want the record but not that badly…🤣

Also, my top songs of the year on Spotify were: 1. 1981 2. look Ma, no brains! 3. One Eyed Bastard 4. Dilemma 5. Float Into The Sky - Cage The Elephant

Basket Case playing going to commercial Chargers vs Broncos

There are books like that for American Idiot and Revolution Radio as well, if you didn't know

Sorry if Imissed this but voting is open for Coma City as the coolest song with Little Steven https://www.undergroundgarage.com/coolestsong2024 Think voting also opens to day for Tre as drummer of the year it I can’t find that right now?! Found it, Drummeo. Tre is nominated for drummer of the year and I think drum recording of the year. https://www.drumeo.com/beat/2024-awards/?srsltid=AfmBOoqxQ6vtaiOsDIh9EjsPRdnGVYheGJ4K8Ccg8m-fCi2_xNXrMm1Y

Went on a Billie billboard hunt with my friend in London. Anyone else seen them? Apparently there’s one in Kings Cross but we walked round for an hour and couldn’t see it 😂

I mean, I am pretty sure this guy was just trying to heckle the comedian, but the sad part is that there are unhinged people on social media who believe this crazy stuff. I seem to remember someone on Reddit about a year ago who was saying they had some kind of "claim" to Green Day's music, like the band had stolen songs from them. Also saw some batshit more recently on reddit where someone was making all kinds of messed up accusations against Fall Out Boy, including that Pete Wentz didn't write a bunch of his own songs and had stolen them from someone. It's scary what people will believe. Also, I am sure we all got the email yesterday, but here is the whole glorious ten hours of the Green Day Yule Log. I hate the holidays, but I would totally stare at this for 10 hours. 🤣
