Maybe I don't understand, but is every issue of Kerrang just the same thing over and over?

Yep. Same bands every time, they just rotate who's on the cover, who gets the big article, and who's on the posters.

So what I took away from this title quote is they're pretty much just moving on from the trilogy... not that I'm surprised at all, but it's pretty much a confirmation of what we already expected — no trilogy promotion or setlist recognition.

My queue is some word from the band or label that it's actually happening. They've never done that before, even when John was saying it would happen, so I assume when they actually say it is I'll be on board.

I find him pretty good-looking with his beard :) oh and I like Brittney too, even if she's way too ''fashion'', she's class ;) (I remember I drew her and she published it on Insta)

But whats this event ?

I didn't know about Billie Joe being in Riding In Cars With Boys? I know he was in Riding in Vans With Boys, that tour documentary with Kut U Up and Blink182, maybe they got confused?

Green Day "Cigarettes and Valentines" on list

Albums Lost in an Analogue World

LOST EIGHT GREAT ALBUMS

Green Day– Cigarettes and Valentines

The loss of this album may have been a blessing in disguise for the neo-punksters. It was pretty much finished in 2003 when the multi-track tapes were, reportedly, stolen from the studio. No mixes survived and, although the band has said some back-up tapes remained, they didn’t have the feel of the originals.

Despite the material being “good stuff”, according to singer Billie Joe Armstrong, the band started over with a new set – the Grammy-winning, musical-spawning, multi-platinum-selling American Idiot.

The tapes never reappeared, though a few songs were rerecorded and released as B-sides.

From a Mankato Free Press article

The simple joys of Twitter, Mankato-style

I’m a social media guy. Partly because I’m curious about the world around me, and partly because my job requires that I be “out there.”

But beyond all that, though, I’ve found that one of the most entertaining uses for Twitter is to just set up a simple search for the word “Mankato.”

Here’s a sampling of what’s out there

@johnutterance says, “Just found out my cinema studies professor smoked weed with Billy Joe Armstrong in Mankato back in the day. And he liked Pacific Rim.”

Ok so I was listening to AM, the new album from Arctic Monkeys and 3:02 to 3:14 on No. 1 Party Anthem sounds EXACTLY like the Last Night on Earth.

True, but Last Night On Earth sounds exactly like Something by The Beatles, and so does that bit of the Arctic Monkeys song. I think it's just that both Green Day and The Arctic Monkeys were influenced by the Beatles song.

What I Learned about Style from Green Day’s “When I Come Around”

Oh, Green Day. Once upon a time, years before the Berkeley band ventured into Broadway musicals and any endorsement deal that came along, they were the model for every 90s slacker, from punks to alterna-rockers. And of all their videos from that era, “When I Come Around” is the most slackerist. Absolutely nothing happens in the video. They just sort of amble around together aimlessly while a bunch of creepy people look out their windows. Oh and a couple makes out on a car. But somehow, through the nothing, Green Day taught me and a ton of other 90s kids a few things about style. And then eventually, they started looking like, as I affectionately call them, the Punk Rock Golden Girls.

Putting Blink after the Ramones and Green Day bothered me until I realized the author's rationale is that Blink ONLY played pop punk/totally embodied that genre in all their music, whereas Green Day has gone outside of it and therefore is an island unto themselves. So I'm not offended exactly :P

I think they mean pop-punk, some time ago a similar article put Blink 1st too and it's just because they are POP-punk, Green Day has tried a lot of different styles and The Ramones are pure Punk Rock
