It also doesn’t say whether these are net profits after all expenses that the band splits.  Of course if GD charged more like some of these other bands they would earn more (also might draw more if they had a big expensively produced show like U2). Hard to say though. It’s also misleading because it’s a snapshot of a given time period where some bands might have played twenty shows and others fifty or more. 

It also doesn't say the time period, whether it was just north america or internertional combined, for collecting the numbers. For all of 2017, GD toured, what 9 months and only made $9 million? That seems way off. I thought there was a billboard article back in January that listed GD's south american tour listed as $9 million alone in gross profit (before expenses).

I can't imagine they had access to a list of all their expenses so I would guess it was gross but yeah the tour amount seems very low unless it actually is net somehow. But whatever. This article lost my respect when it called U2 "veteran rockers" but GD a "legacy act". Why can't GD be veteran rockers if you're going to call attention to their age?

Found the billboard article from December 2017 talking about the Rev Rad tour. Says the gross falls in the $70 million range (south america was $6.2m gross), so maybe that's an estimated net that they are reporting now 🤔🧐

Interesting.  Had no idea who this guy was but just confirms what we all know about Billie Joe being such an incredible performer!

I love the NLSS, and sometimes they talk about Green Day. A couple of weeks-ish ago, NL starts his show by talking about how Tre Cool is his least favorite person on planet earth.  Starts around 4 minutes.

 

Keep in mind that it's all jokes.

Famed Fantasy Studios In Berkeley Set To Close

Many musicians – a stylistically varied group, ranging from CCR to Journey and Santana to Tony Bennett, Counting Crows and Green Day — made recordings there.

I’m strangely excited that they’re clearing out the RevRad merch because it means they’re preparing for the next album/tour cycle. Can’t wait to hear what they’re gonna call it.

I like that Chicago athletic shirt! But I may have to wait to get it :( I was hoping that would find extra Wrigley merch and list that for sale. I really wanted the pin set and poster. I was pissed they didn't mention beforehand they would have special merch for the show because if they did I would've went out of my way to go down there to get it even though I wasn't attending the show.

All T-shirts are the US dates for spring, and for summer. Was hoping to snap up a deal with UK /Europe dates on.

Same! I take it as a confirmation they're up to something. (And I'm also debating whether or not to buy. So many of these shirts are really nice.)

Remember the pregnant girl in Quebec City who got on stage and Billie gave the guitar to the baby? Here is the video for you to remember:

Well, now, here is an article about the baby and the guitar with pictures of both! (The article is in french, sorry.)
http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2017/10/20/green-day-donne-une-guitare-a-un-bebe-quebecois

In resume, Alexandra was 14 weeks pregnant when she went to the concert. She gave birth a few weeks ago. The baby is girl and she was named Emilie-Joe. Alexandra will give the guitar to Emilie-Joe when she will be older just like Billie asked.

(Sorry to quote myself.)

Randomly, I came accross another article about Émilie-Joe. It's old from last fall and in french again, but there is a video of the baby with the guitar.

Ten bucks says this kid grows up hating Green Day because of her name 😂The man himself still doesn't like that half of his own name.

I don't know about the baby but Billie loves his name, he might pretend he doesn't but he's obsessed with talking about it and easily could've just gone by Bill or Billy if he wanted to so I think he clearly does :P. I think most people with unusual names like having them but even if she doesn't she could just go by Emilie when she's older if she prefers.
