Love that Billie never ever gets tired of playing shows lol. Looking good in the red with the floof! Here's to more Coverups shows

just found these! i might be turning into a billie fanboy. i just caught myself giggling at these...

Guys, I'm still very hopeful and wholeheartedly rooting for a live album next year, so sometimes I go online and look for random news about it, and I found something cool! We saw Ryan Mackfall's post about being part of the camera crew at the 2024 Wembley show, and now I found his Tumblr page where he shares a bit more. He said it was Chris Dugan who brought this project to him, and the key phrase for me is "I can't reveal where or how the results will be released," so yes, we'll have it! I'll leave the original link here, where you can read and find some cool photos, including one of a fan being interviewed, which makes me believe we'll have something in the style of BIAB. I was there and would be dope to relive it again https://thatfilmduderyan.com/post/768859390089560064/green-day-wembley-stadium

Christmas presents to myself. Finally got the colour vinyl Dookie box set. Even with a set of pin badges and shipping it was less than half the price of the UK store in the sale of the US store which is insane.

Re-listening to Kerplunk! tonight an holy bujeezus Tré is a monster with the drum fills on Welcome To Paradise

Got myself some early Christmas presents!😃

That is maximum floof

and here he is to feed once again! didn't think it'd be so soon, but... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOR9mPniCFe/?igsh=MWplNmZxdWx6NjA1aw== look at his smile! and he looks so tiny here too 🥹 aww...

Both. When I’m on the go of course I stream everything. In fact, streaming is great because my bootlegs get folded into my library so it’s really the most complete version of my collection. Vinyl is for when I’m at home and really have the time to dedicate to giving the music the full attention it deserves. For me there’s no beating the experience of getting a record off the shelf, putting it on the turntable, hearing the needle drop, listening to it, holding the artwork, reading the inserts. It’s a vibe, man.

The Coverups are playing in the West Bay Area tonight for a private show, 9PM unknown location. https://www.instagram.com/stories/greenday/3785503894173377922 Signup to RSVP for tickets. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbYq9p5YxanvWJWGbJ81s0dS75QfnGX0UeSVquiTBo_8o_HA/viewform?brid=_82FWTKMPrNYw5PGHj-bbg

????? im not sure if she thought out the fact that it wouldve been that hot before wearing all that paint. and i also don't know if she considered the fact that she would probably be there for more than an hour...

something about this outfit...

He looks so good in red ❤️❤️ just nice to see him.

My co-worker has twice answered the phone "Hey-o" today, and I have to keep from shouting out "HEEEEYY-OOOO!"

Yay he does look great! The hair floof is on point!

thank you and you're welcome! this might become my job. professional fangirl feeder...

Today's technology allows me to download all GD stuff in MP3 onto my moby (cell) all safely stored in a cloud, in preference to streaming. And that's really cool. But, imho, the output quality on mobile phones just ain't the same as vinyl. The sound quality of vinyl is something else, there's no comparison, again imho. So, out and about it's headphones on with my moby. But at home, it's vinyl time, speakers on full blast, jump up and down and blow my fuckin' head off. Awesome. Also, maybe it's me, but there's a sorta affinity when buying a vinyl record like a photo, a snapshot in time. Back in December '91, after seeing GD live for the first time, I couldn't wait to get hold of my copy of Kerplunk from my local underground (literally) record store. The feeling of queuing up to collect my copy from the guy behind the counter. My whole body is shaking with excitement. But first, the inspection. The guy carefully takes the record out of it's sleeve making sure not to touch the record surface. Shows me each side of record. But wait, there's a mark there, is that a scratch. Fuck that, another copy please, it must be perfect. Leave the store with my copy in shiny plastic bag. My personal vinyl copy that would be a part of me and change my life for ever. Body, soul and spirit. Both the music and the lyrics. More valuable than a bar of gold. It's scratched to fuck now, cover totally trashed.(Got a new copy though). And still brings back, not only the thrill of an amazing new sound at the time, but what was going on in my life at the time. And this feeling repeated itself every time I bought each new GD record, in vinyl of course.

Today is the 34th anniversary of Kerplunk. I love this record. And I love „Words I might have ate“, and I‘ve just found the following video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSQcxLIiI-x/?igsh=MThsbmc0MzdibDBlcQ== Billie sounds amazing, and Tre singing is so cool (so it’s Tre Cool😜). Love it!

I am unreasonably disappointed about missing this concert. This was about 3 hours away from me, so definitely could have driven there. But I didn’t know about it until it was happening. I know that realistically I probably couldn’t have gone on the spur of the moment like that anyway, because I have too much happening at home and work right now. But I still can’t help feeling that I really missed out, I guess because their concerts are few and far between. I really hope there will be more Bay Area shows in the near future!

It's me again, with another Green Day concert dream (I think I'm just missing the tour). This time I dreamed that they were playing a show in Amsterdam, but it was a very weird location. It was indoors, kind of felt like it could have been a shopping mall type of building? Like I remember I rode down an escalator to go down to the "pit". And the stage was like a kid's play ground thing (like these ones with sort of slides and "towers" that are interconnected by hanging tunnels or bridges), but huge! And there was a pause in the show for some reason, during which I met a colleague who was also at the show, and then he got pulled on stage for KYE I also suspect I have had this dream before, or a similar one, but cannot consciously remember it, because at some point in the dream I had the certainty someone I know was gonna get pulled on stage, and I was trying to remember who, like I had already seen it happen.

Bit late but great review of Coachella https://www.themusicman.uk/green-days-timeless-coachella-2025/ Also late, review of Basket Case turning 30 https://theriffreport.co.uk/27/11/2025/green-days-basket-case-turns-30-and-its-still-the-pop-punk-anthem-that-owns-our-collective-brain-mun-🤘💚🏴/

Exactly!😅 And I just love to see him happy and healthy. Edit: Here’s one more. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSKDi4qDa9Q/?igsh=MWRwbmJrYWE1dHVpaQ==

im likely not going to finish this in the span of a month, so i'll just put it here for now... (posted the outdted version earlier oops) i'm gonna get really mad if i forget how to draw billie again after this, because i spent 30 minutes re learning his face again after forgetting it because of a stupid 2 day art block period. if i dont remember how to do it i'll probably cry. seriously anyways, this was originally an idea for an album (well, single) cover for a song i'm making right now... i'm sad i can't keep billie on it but it was good practice i guess

The show was announced some nine hours prior to the event on the Green Day IG account, with the offer to sign up for tickets. I saw it but well, California is far away... And obviously few were lucky to get tickets anyway.

I saw some posts saying it was a private party and none of us saw anything about it beforehand so I wouldn’t beat yourself up about it! Billie usually posts about these shows so just keep an eye out.

We have 100s of CDs which we loaded onto a pc and then iPods (yes, I know but they were brilliant in so many ways) but iTunes/Apple music has become such a nightmare that last year we switched to streaming. I really hate how Spotify etc treat artists but what is the alternative? We still have some iPods and hubby has been looking into going back to an old version of iTunes but it’s a pain. I am torn between the convenience of streaming versus physical media. Physical media will always be better to me but the bulk can become huge. As @Dingle said, nothing beats the whole experience of buying that album, looking at the sleeve, reading the notes but goodness it’s easier to move a smart phone around!

Keep working on it though, seems like you could achieve it 😉

Sorry that requires a master's degree

I do both, but it is more convenient to listen to streamed music. I have a lot of CDs. Yes, I listen to them a lot, and if there is a nationwide blackout and no electricity, I still have a CD player and batteries. . For vinyls, yes I have a record player, but it is just more of a collecters thing. I only buy records if its an anniversary album or a cool print, otherwise i could just buy the CD for less or stream it. I believe it supports the band more or the record label more to buy CD's, and who wouldn't want to support their favorite bands

i actually listen to them... i like to listen to them on cd/vinyl before i stream them unless i genuinely cant find it anywhere. i don't know what it is but it gives me a better feeling. i also really like playing my records, since usually i listen to music on my headphones, plus i like speeding things uo and down... its cool, maybe i should be a dj... anyways, i do stream my music a lot though. i unfortunately dont have a lot of records and most of my cds i love, however im missing a ton like insomniac, the trilogy, warning, etc, both on vinyl and cd...

Billie dressed up with the Cup Noodles costume while singing St. Jimmy (Brasilia, 2010) Also, in this show, there was an argentinian girl dressed all in green (would you call it a onesie, maybe?), face, arms and hair all painted in green as well. And it was hot as fuck... that Green paint must've itched like hell

I download the CDs onto the computer and listen to them that way. My record player has needed replacing for a long time so I can't play the vinyls I collect currently

I collect vinyls, and in the evening I sometimes put them on and that feels cosy somehow and a bit like a celebration of the music. Apart from that I use Spotify. And in the car we‘ve got CDs.

I didn't see this. But my sister read about someone having to go to the hospital afterwards because they got Tre's drumstick thrown in their face, lol. They were happy because they got the drumstick though lol.

I had a dream the other night that I brought my horse along to a Green Day show. Luckily he was just vibing, lol. But it was kind of weird.

That’s probably a good way to go into it, that way you have no preconceived biases

There's a traditional with GD that has followed them for 30 years+. "Expect the unexpected". Even after the release of Nimrod 25th in Jan' '23, there was an air of despondency on here on when the new album would be released. I think it was late spring when it was confirmed that Saviors wouldn't be released until Jan' '24. Gloom descended on here. "What are the band doing" " Why is nothing happening" " Why are the band keeping us waiting." Little did we know what the band where planning to shower us with treat after treat as they always do. And didn't they do well. An awesome album, plus deluxe version, and tour, the latter extended and added to again, 3 more box sets, and a Pinhead Gunpowder album thrown in for good measure. And just now the Coverups back with a suprise show. So for me I'm trying to contain my excitement. Things may seem a tad quiet on the surface in Green Day land. But I'll wager the band are up to something. Can't wait.

He really does ❤️. The slightly unbuttoned shirt....he knew what he was doing

cool, when she appeared with the coverups in London 2024, she had a camera crew with her. Be interesting to see if that’s what ends up in the doc (and proshot footage of that show would be nice)

Billie will be appearing in a new documentary about Courtney Love and her sobriety journey https://www.instagram.com/p/DSGiw2WEsHp/?igsh=cnN1N2R2aXV6bjZ6

He hasn’t said. It’s the same band members as UQ apart from their bassist so maybe a side thing?

That's amazing, you've deffo got a talent there. Faces are the most difficult to reproduce I find, I've regularly struggled getting the proportions right.

Rumor has it that Green Day's next album will be all about Cup Noodles. You guys better be glad I've moved on from making fake tracklists because.......I'm tempted.

I have never seen that picture lolllll. When you think youve seen it all......

Handsome rewards for all!!!! 🎅

That's sleep paralysis demon Billie. Cursed!

you're right about that, billies voice is a little higher pitched than jakobs..
