That Dude Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Did any of us ever find the pirate radio station that they broadcast American Idiot recording sessions over? and is Billie kissing the demons FROM his dreams or is he kissing to make them go away?

Undómiel Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Bit of a longshot (heheh, see what I did there?), but does anyone have any A2 posters of the band nd/or individual members they no longer want? I'm willing to pay postage and a bit more to get my hands on some - must be A2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Anyone know what/when these photos are from? I thought it was the Counter Aid fundraiser on 3 December 1994, but Billie is wearing something different and Tre has a different haircut.

That Dude Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 I just found On the Radio (Live) on spotify, but when you go to Green Day's page and select "all releases" this one isn't there. It's on spotify, but you have to search for it. Weird and annoying. Makes me wonder what else their official spotify page is missing... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 New Murray Bowles photo book has some pictures of early Green Day shows I can’t identify. Anyone know about these? —Masonic Temple, Vallejo, CA 1989 (may or may not be what GDA has listed as 707 Marin Street) —Pony Express Pizza, Redwood City, CA 1990(?) (Book says this is 1990 but I can’t find it listed on GDA under anything from 1988-1990 and it can’t be 1990 because Billie and Mike still have their super long hair and flannel shirts. Looks like 1989 like the Vallejo pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
