That was fun. I think I'm allowed to say that Green Day played 4-5 songs for the fans in between takes. The filming was cool but those songs were the best bits. Billie threw lots of guitar picks with questions like: 'What's my favourite colour?' 'What number is on my mind right now?' 'What is my dog's name?' 'Who has the most spikes in their hair?' He didn't actually wait for anyone to answer. He just threw them at the first people he saw 😂 He also announced 'oof, my back' twice. Mike kept telling us we were killing it. The first time they played a song just for fun, Tre refused to play more when Billie asked because he didn't want to get sweaty. The barrier was mostly filled with hired actors but some fans got onto it in the centre and I got onto it past Mike, towards the end with some of the lovely ladies I met in the queue. There's such a small gap between the barrier and stage at the Palladium that I felt almost as close as I did when I was technically closer at stadiums. I can't believe I was still jumping at the end considering the jet lagged state I'm in 😂 If I remember more that I can share I will, but I need to sleep now.

So, for the last half year or so I've been struggling with kinda poor mental health, some days better, some worse, but all in all not great. Thus, when I got to visit San Francisco (and Oakland/Berkeley) recently as part of my job, I was delighted. I did a mini GD-related tour of the bay area and it cheered me up tremendously and also made me grateful for, despite everything, having been able to do have done this. I often felt like a small kid truth be told haha very nerdy I know but, especially being from Europe, it was really cool Chinatown in San Francisco Ashby/Longview house in Berkeley No explanation needed "Jesus filling out paperwork now, at the facility on East 12th Street" - (view from BART train, Oakland near Fruitvale St) Also rode past the warehouse on 7th street near West Oakland Station (Welcome To Paradise), no pic of that though, I was too slow. Oakland's Fox Theatre and The Warfield in San Francisco (guys give us the full concert man, please, I'm begging ya) this part of San Fran (Mission District) has changed a lot but it's where the scene of the guys walking in When I Come Around was filmed (at night), I also passed through Powell station, also seen in that video. It's probably my favourite Green Day music video so seeing the filming locations was very cool and a few other bits and bobs Btw there's been much talk about San Francisco's social problems at the moment and they are definitely noticeable right in the city centre (the infamous Tenderloin district and adjacent areas), but it is still a beautiful and vibrant city in my view, with a lot to offer, not least great public transport for US standards, interesting topography and a lot of variety in terms of the different neighbourhoods, plus great walkability. Needless to say I enjoyed my stay there and would love to visit again at some point.

I think I’ve had nightmares where I’m at a Green Day show and all they play is KYE over and over 😜

Chart update- Alternative Airplay- 27, up from 29 Mainstream Rock Airplay- 29, up from 35 Rock and Alternative Airplay- debut at 50

(I am probably preaching to the choir here, so apologies in advanced lol) Does anyone else think that Billie Joe's voice is just sooo releasing? I was listening to Tre (the album) last night and right when I pressed play and Brutal Love began, I started to cry. His voice is just so soothing and just what I needed.

When Billie played that bit of Corvette Summer there was a collective gasp and that little shit knew exactly what he'd done when it didn't continue 😂 I have to admit I didn't recognise Pollyanna. I don't think I've even listened to it in full. #FakeFan 😤 I could tell I was in the company of fellow ADHDers because Billie kept playing random chords and Tre tapped away at his drums whenever there was a lull 😂 Now I've had some sleep I can't believe that was all an actual thing I experienced. Green Day were probably onstage for a maximum of 3 of the 12 hours we were all there - there was a lot of waiting around and we had to leave to eat then go back in - but it was a unique and unforgettable experience for sure. The local fans were so nice 🥰 The lady next to me had never seen Green Day and said she was a reasonably casual fan, but after the first song she was like, 'this is the best day ever!' Pretty sure it's OK to comment on random impromptu bits of songs because they didn't have anything to do with the film... it says we can't post 'material in connection with the Picture,' not the event itself.

Unbelievably I am outside the Hollywood Palladium right now 😂 I'm in LA to see my girlfriend and this was very convenient timing. I got here just before 8AM and was numbered 23. There are about 10 more people behind me. Lots of people have flown in and some camped out. The vibe around me is nice so far. No idea what to expect from the show but I'm sure it'll be fun. Probably can't say anything else about it until the film is out because we're not supposed to post about it online.

Maybe this will explain why Green Day is alllll about OEB right now, haha. It's now a radio hit. Yayyay https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2025/03/24/green-day-joins-u2-and-pearl-jam-with-its-brand-new-and-also-old-radio-single/

In fact, dare we say it’s even more relevant today than when written! Amazing.

It's gonna be so cool! I hope this movie will get a tons of easter egg for hardcore fans like us.

Totally. Whatsername on earphones….. ❤️

I was there. Still the best show I've seen from them. Front row.

On this day 8 years ago (22 March 2017), Green Day played the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada on the Revolution Radio Tour. Photo by Karine Jacques More photos: 14 years ago (22 March 2011), Awesome as Fuck was released. 20 years ago (22 March 2005), Green Day played the Tsukisamu Green Dome in Sapporo, Japan on the American Idiot Tour. 24 years ago (22 March 2001), Green Day played Zepp in Fukuoka, Japan on the Warning Tour. I had no idea they'd done such thorough tours of Japan before. 27 years ago (22 March 1998), Green Day played the Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, Japan on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (22 March 1996), Green Day played PalaSport in Modena, Italy on the Insomniac Tour.

Well, now this is charting. Alternative Airplay- 29 Mainstream Rock Airplay- 35

I love American Idiot for this reason: It never gets old or unrelatable, and it will always have political/personal significance in society. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2025/03/20/green-days-political-masterpiece-is-relevant-again---and-rising/

There's a CD bootleg of an IEM + audience matrix, in case anyone's interested. There will be threads for both Yokohama shows as well

^ Now I’m sad they’re not doing a horror film. 😭 Something about this project confuses me, like who will watch it outside Green Day fans. I guess it’s just a comedy with Green Day elements but I just don’t…get it. It’s a fun idea and all, I guess I’m just curious to see how it will be marketed and how wide of a release it will get.

Why am I still laughing at this 😭. It's so true Also this finally hit the press even though we have all known for a while now, hehe https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/green-day-prank-award-show-speech-20234713.php

I mean, in my book, "you look like a lesbian" is a pretty sick compliment

Wait wait, I’ve got more: Call me when you get more than one song. And the award for having actually released a relevant record in my lifetime goes to… Green Day!

Made a Saviors inspired bookmark.

You start your new job and the first thing you put on your cubicle wall is a picture of Green Day. Not of your partner. Not even of your dog. Green. Day.

Billie can deliver a pizza to me any time...maybe not a deep dish...I don't need him to shart in my house

One of the many, many contributions to civilization provided to us by Degrassi: The Next Generation is proving that this statement is false.

On this day 29 years ago (26 March 1996), Green Day played the Sportovni Hala in Prague, Czech Republic on the Insomniac Tour. 31 years ago (26 March 1994), Green Day played Saint Andrew's Hall in Detroit, MI on the Dookie Tour. 33 years ago (26 March 1992), Green Day played the Cotati Cabaret in Cotati, CA.

I saw that setlist and was laughing, because, what's one of the number one songs people say they never want to see live again? So they play it a dozen times. 😄 Of course, I'm guessing it's relevant to the movie, like the kids "knowing their enemy."

From the Office Ladies podcast. Sounds like Jenna Fischer is playing a character based on Ollie Armstrong https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHo2OwAN0bl/?igsh=OWl6bXV5dTIzcGNm

I understand you so well! His voice always helps, no matter what state I‘m in…

On this day 31 years ago (24 March 1994), Green Day were on Much Music in Toronto, Canada. More photos: Later that day, they played the Opera House in Toronto. 34 years ago (24 March 1991), Green Day played at Eggplant's House in Pinole, CA. 'Eggplant and an ex-girlfriend of mine set up this surprise birthday party for me, and Green Day and Blatz played it. Eggplant has had many spectacular parties in his backyard. He had this weird hot-tub room, his dad and his stepmom. They played there, next to the hot tub. This really teeny room. It was raining like crazy. I remember the people in Blatz were getting electrocuted, so they didn't like that. That was a very memorable show for me. It was my twenty-first birthday. How many people can say their two favorite bands played their birthday party? Not many. I was stoked.' — Eric Yee

Green day post

Jaimie. You’re the son of the frontman for LINKIN PARK. If being really popular = sellout to you, then, I hate to break it to ya, but your father and his buddies were HUGE sellouts. (P.S. god rest you Chester you were gone too soon LK is great)

Nothing new there…. I see that kind of bashing on Instagram every day. Combined with calling them sellouts and looking like lesbians, etc. It’s always the same…😕

Why are called Green Day? Oh, you poor dear, how do I explain……

Exactly. Most protest records that are specific to an era don't age well, but this....well, sadly, "Don't wanna be an American idiot" is always going to apply. "Sieg Heil to the President X-Man", shall we say....

Hello ladies.

You know you need more sleep when you think this is going to be Billie in a painting of Birth of Venus. 😄

The eyeliner yes!!! But I really love the blonde...

Yeah we'll find every single one. They can't keep secrets and easter eggs from the GDC for long lol

I had a dream where Billie's eyeliner and black hair returned and it was glorious

OKAY BUT SERIOUSLY It's so calming

Just saw Demolicious on vinyl for $300.00 and Bullet in a bible on vinyl for $80. Thoughts?

On this day 8 years ago (23 March 2017), Green Day played the Centre Vidéotron in Quebec, Canada on the Revolution Radio Tour. More photos (all by Jacob Ramsay) 24 years ago (23 March 2001), Green Day played a second night at Zepp in Fukuoka, Japan on the Warning Tour. 27 years ago (23 March 1998), Green Day played a second night at the Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, Japan on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (23 March 1996), Green Day played the Hala Tivoli in Ljubljana, Slovenia on the Insomniac Tour. Ticket from Slobodan Boban 31 years ago (23 March 1994), Green Day played Les Foufounes Électriques in Montreal, Canada on the Dookie Tour.

Exactly! And I think the band would see it the same way…

That’s what I was wondering, I keep seeing things about OEB like it was just released as a single 🤷🏽‍♀️
