Yes, that is correct. While I love all of them, I could probably go without hearing the first three albums ever again. Maybe even Insomiac if someone was eradicating albums from existence. But Nimrod and onward, oh yeah! Oh Yeah! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool look into how snotty and bratty Green Day was. Sure, they have some of those tendencies now, but there's such a difference between this type of show and their stadium shows. Billie is way more focused on being an all around crowd pleasing frontman. Here he gives absolutely no shits and I love it. Also, it's pretty nice to hear a punchy show without the "HEY OHSS" and the extended solos or breakdowns. And the banter "No I'm not getting naked tonight....okay I will." And holy shit he quotes Beautiful People during Longview?! That's hilarious!!! Definitely didn't expect that and as a (former) Manson fan it made me chuckle. As for the demos, it's just a cool listen to hear how unpolished and unfinished the lyrics were. Some of them are just funny. All around I think it's a great box set and I wish they would do more of these for album anniversaries. Plus, the added goodies like the patch and sticker are nice touches. Wish the booklet had more to it. But overall, the set feels more rewarding and satisfying than just a remaster like the Insomniac anniversary vinyl. Sure, that was nice, but give me something more than a re-pressing and new art please. I wish they would do this more too! I think American Idiot 100% will get similar treatment, but I'd love that for Warning's 25th as well! Would be cool to see demos, and although I don't remember which interview or how long ago he said it, it would be cool if they went along with re-recording the album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Yeah! Agree completely. FOA is a really nice, quick listen to melodic, stripped down rock songs. The musicianship is incredible (Fire, Ready, Aim particularly). Tre’s drum fills towards the end is some 5 star shit.. and nobody can touch his hi-hat skills. To be honest, he’s probably only second to Ringo Star on the Hi-Hit. Travis Barker isn’t in the same arena as Tre when it comes to taste.. Anyway.. I just wanted to agree on this one because most people will think this is a crazy comment, but it isn’t. If you don’t think the members of Green Day have gotten better as musicians since Dookie, you just have either a really low IQ, or you don’t know how to properly judge music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a time. So much this. For nearly 3 hours last night, I was in high school again. The live portion was such a trip- that tour was my proper introduction to live Green Day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mike’s songs should get more recognition by the band this one is a bop on Reddit and on here, I think. people like the music well enough, but don’t like mikes vocals. I don’t think it would fit on nimrod, but I’d listen the fuck out of a Mike only album from this era😛 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Is it safe to assume that every studio album will get a 25th anniversary edition? That there will be one for Warning, American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, trilogy etc. Also will Dookie get one for its 30th anniversary in 2024? Just seems like if they were gonna do this for every album, they could've planned it out better. Start with 39, or at least start with Dookie (their major label debut) and make it so the albums actually come out 25 years after the album.

He’s not Billie of course but for a song an album it’s a nice change up and his songs are strong that’s the important thing, but we don’t get to hear them enough. I guess the fan favorite is JAR because he wrote it but doesn’t sing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing the 25th anniversary of Insomniac and Nimrod in 2020 and 2022 instead of 2021 and 2023 It's never safe to assume anything with this band 😂 As far as future boxed sets go, I doubt they'll do anything with 39 and Kerplunk, I guess the original master tapes from those albums aren't in good shape and there's not really gunna be any good quality unreleased stuff from those albums anyways. A Dookie box set would be awesome though, it would be nice to have the rerecording of 409 they did during the Dookie sessions, and I think they originally recorded haushinka for Dookie too and it's never been released. An AI set would be amazing, they demoed the whole album before they recorded it so it would be cool to hear that. I don't think there's really any unreleased songs from the Warning recording session, but there could be demos out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aahhhh Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 10 hours ago, pacejunkie punk said: Billie tells the audience that they’re recording a live album so why was it never released until now? It's honestly pretty sloppy. Most songs have at least one noticeable issue, which is why they only used a few as b-sides back when it was recorded. Even staples like Basket Case had issues. It's not stuff that would ruin the live show, but I'm sure they didn't think it was good enough to release as a standalone live album. Also, pre-Bullet in a Bible GD was pretty adamantly against touching up live recordings. If something was messed up in the performance they wouldn't fix it later. You can hear a few little flubs on Foot in Mouth. That said, it's interesting they didn't record multiple shows to pull from for a live album. Most bands tend to do that just to have more recordings to choose from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing the 25th anniversary of Insomniac and Nimrod in 2020 and 2022 instead of 2021 and 2023 Dookie's 25th was release of Woodstock '94. 2 months late but exactly 25 years to day when Woodstock took place. insomniac 25th includes 8 live tracks from Prague March '96. Released on exact day and month of original album but 26 years after. So with Nimrod 25th there's a lot more music and extras provided. Is that an omen for future anniversaries. But only 25th's? Why it was couple of months late is subject to conjecture. COVID maybe ? Guessing here, but the fact that Lookout Records retained ownership of 39/Smooth & Kerplunk at the time of their respective 25th's, stopped any possible thoughts of anniversary issues?

Green Day owned 39/Smooth and Kerplunk long before their 25th anniversary’s the main issue with those albums are the master tapes are said to be in rough state and also escp for 39 I doubt there’s any extra studio tracks left over for 39 due to the lack of money Kerplunk had a little bit more of a budget so that album may have a few extra songs left over maybe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other instance of this was during the Trilogy with the "I'm not playing with your heart" line. I would love to know the process of how Jillie completed Church on Sunday.

The label was in rough shape in the early 2000s and Lookout would basically use those royalties to fund other projects. I also doubt there's anything leftover from the kerplunk sessions, I've read that the album was recorded in two different sessions because they didn't have enough material for an album during the first session 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
