I would absolutely love something like 21st Century Breakdown again just one more time in their career. The incredible production, the wide variety of instruments and arrangements, Billie Joe's vocal range, etc etc etc. An unbelievable record start to finish. How did that come to be? The band feeling adventurous after American Idiot? Warner/Reprise asking them for an epic follow up to American Idiot? Butch Vig's touch?

Hugging Billie Joe in Vienna

My personal highlights were the nights when I stayed up to watch live-streamed shows with everyone, like the Fire Aid show. Those days were fun . Wow, two days until 2026......

Check out the GDA roundup of this year's highlights! https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6272/ What was YOUR personal highlight? Mine was hearing Suzie Chapstick live, but the bits of Stay the Night and Redundant acoustic that we got in Vienna were close seconds.

Seeing the Coverups last January, what a treat!

i actually got into them through my best friend and some other people. his favourite band has been green day for a long time, so i asked a few friends online for some suggestions. the first three green day songs i ever listened to were dilemma, east jesus nowhere, and longview.

For me, it was definitely seeing them at Riot Fest. I camped out at the stage since 11:15 am, but the barrier was already claimed by Green Day fans (The festival opened at 11)! I became super dehydrated to the point of my cheeks sinking into my face. I moshed until I felt like I had to puke. It was the most glorious time I’ve ever had at a Green Day show. It was also great to be there on my own and not have to worry about anyone and if they were having a good time. 100% would do it again. I’d do it tomorrow.

Seeing them live at Download festival during the Summer. Such an amazing atmosphere and the crazy timing of the rain starting on cue during WMUWSE.

I don’t expect word on anything new from Green Day for at least 18 months but Billie did speak about trying to get Pinheaded Gunpowder together for some shows I think.

Lots of fangirl moments in their roundup… https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS7yOz6EYlH/?igsh=dTJ0bDl3a2JpdnNu

I think Billie will do something with a side project between albums

Talking of which, Saviors is holding its own in the latest fan rating charts on greenday.fm, staying at 3rd place. FOAM sadly still bottom in 17th. https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-album-rankings/

definitely agree about this ! i'm more than certain father of all got a shit ton of backlash too and that's probably what created saviors. do new stuff on the trilogy, get like 1.5/5 on ratings for all of them or something around that then make RR to please your fans. then do new stuff on father of all, get 1.5/5 on ratings for it or something around that then make saviors to please your fans. and i'm pretty sure father of all was one of billies favourite records he'd put out too. poor guy. bobby sox is something i had to let grow on me. i didn't like it much. i think father of all isn't actually objectively shit like a bunch of people say. i think i could let that album grow on me if it weren't for the claps. stab you in the heart is a bit of a recent ear worm i've had. can't wait to see what they'll do for the new album!

Every single time you say y'know (and I say it a lot, even before I was into Green Day) you immediatly start thinking about Green Day

If I remember correctly Billie said that 21st CB is one of his favorite albums, but that the majority of the songs reminds him of being drunk, tired and having mental problems during that time, and that's why they don't play anything of that reord, besides KYE, 21 guns and Murder City obviously.. I can't see that we're gonna get a new album like this again 😕 I really hope that they go beyond their "comfort zone" and just put out a album with variety, all from acoustic songs to ballads to short and fast songs or anything in between

Same here. I'd love to see something with that level of ambition again.

When you hear Good Riddance playing from your boss' office and have to resist running in there. Cause, ya know, I haven't heard it enough times.

The GD year 2025: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS7yOz6EYlH/?igsh=MXMzanB4c3p0dnI1aw==

i forgot i had this. i was gonna put this here on christmas but i forgot... anyways, christmas billie

its not a lot, but the day i finally got into green day was this year, 8th of march. actually, maybe that is a lot. im a newbie, and i missed the one time they came to australia this decade.

Seeing the live definitely, it was so surreal seeing so many people shouting out the lyrics and just as crazy as me all in one place, and not to mention the performance was so awesome And them performing missing you was just chef's kiss

I had two highlights: seeing my beloved band from the front row in Vienna (and hearing Forever Now at that occasion) and spending hours with @Cris. at a beautifully situated cafe in Luxembourg, talking about Green Day and the world…

Would love some shows in Europe!🥰

Okay, let‘s continue in this thread. Really looking forward to the event!😊

Another random thought while listening to Green Day. Father of All Motherfuckers is likely a result from Revolution Radio being the first time the band backtracked in their career. It was constant evolution and forward momentum until the backlash from the trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, Revolution Radio still brought fresh ideas, but it was a return to a more familiar sound. Father of All Motherfuckers was a return to doing new things and trying to continue an evolution, even if it was unsuccessful. (This might be obvious, but it sounds profound in my state of mind right now ha)

I can 100% relate to that!

The concerts in Vienna. I mean we got 2 (two!!) solo Green Day shows. Doesn't happen that often that international bands play some extra shows here..

Seeing the second show in Vienna 🔥

I like how the first 3 songs you listened to were all released 15 years apart from the last, covering a good chunk of their discography. Welcome to the fandom!

Yes, and anytime a GD song comes on anywhere, you can’t leave til it’s done.

Could really be an age thing… Interesting! I love this album. Also because it’s different. ❤️

Yes, absolutely!🥰😍 I love this! And I miss them…🥲

I guess that IS a lot. How did you get into them?

seeing the band live on my birthday, 3rd of March in Sydney! Amazing show!!

My bet would be that the next Green Day album will come out on 2028 or later. That gives them at least 1.5 full year off from touring. On the meanwhile, I do expect to see some shows and/or new albums from some of Billie's side projects. I'd be surprised if they don't do at least a couple of PHGP shows next year, even if it's just in the bay area, as they put out this new album right in the middle of the Saviors cycle, and haven't done a a single show for that.

I love Fancy Sauce. There’s something special to it….❤️ Father to a Son was a bit disappointing for me. It’s missing something to make it really great but I can’t say what it is.😅

I'm listening to Fancy Sauce. This song has really grown on me. What a good song. Btw I got bored with Father to a Son. Once great, but now I've kind of lost interest.

At this point, my opinion on Saviors is more or less the same as my opinion on RevRad. A good album but too derivative of what they've done before. It has stronger production & lyricism (at least for the more political tracks) than RevRad but I think RevRad probably has the better songwriting overall and isn't as derivative. I'd say it'll still probably be a couple years before we hear anything about the next album. We might get a couple standalone songs in the meantime like Pollyanna but idk. I hope the next album isn't anything like the Deluxe tracks of Saviors which I felt were particularly weak compared to the standard album tracks. I dislike FOAM but I do hope that the band steps out of their comfort zone a little bit more for the next album. They don't need to change producers, I think we'd all be happy to have Rob stay but they need to change things up a bit.

this thread is really old but i feel like saying something about bang bang, my friend absolutely hates this song. he made fun of me for listening to it once, but whatever, i understand why some people might not like this song... though i remember seeing green day perform this song for the music awards in 2016. it was the first time i ever had heard the song. and when they did the "no trump, no kkk..." chant, it genuinely stuck to me for a while. that chant alone sort of brought some kind of immediate meaning to the song. i cant decipher lyrics well, so it really felt amazing how something so simple can reach out to me like that. genuinely the one of most relevant parts of a song i've ever heard, and that alone made me love the song so much. i love bang bang.

The show is in two weeks!😃 I‘m so looking forward to seeing some video footage on IG or YT. All this time without a glimpse of them is just sad…

Ditto

hi again ... some doodles of kitty billie joe i did this one was from yesterday, when i was trying to cope with whatever the hell i was feeling ... 30 mins for this one! this one was finished just 5 minutes ago. also served as a good lighting practice. i think he looks a bit mildly disturbed here but whatever, can't be bothered to fix it. also 30 mins to draw this he is so joyous ... yes guys, every time i've drawn billie without something obscuring the top of his head, those 2 big spikes on his hair are meant to resemble cat ears. cool, amirite

Another rock opera would be really great. At the beginning of the Saviors era I thought that they release a zombie-themed concept album because of the website, video, and so on. On the other hand I think that 21CB was also the product of Billie's mental state at this time, so I don't expect another album like this ever again (maybe luckily for Billie's health).

when you walked into the local pub (cause there was live music on) and the person is playin good riddance and you have to resist the urge to jump up and start singing along Xb i did lmao-

I have been wondering about this since 2004, but just never enough to google it or ask 😅 So thanks a lot for sharing it

Welcome to the Fancy Sauce fan club! 😂 It's been my favorite from the album since day one, and I am no where near to getting tired of it. Father to a Son is probably my least favorite from the album.

Or even a newly named side project.

Wouldn't a new Foxboro Hot Tubs album be great? (Even greater than a new Longshot album) That would be a great surprise.
