Show off your Green Day "shrine" (or scrapbooks, frames, etc)

[solongfromthestars]

If you've got a little (or big) "shrine" dedicated to Green Day, a scrapbook, some gig memories in a frame or whatever else along those lines, share it! And if you've had stuff hanging around in bags or boxes for years (like most of my post-RevRad stuff), maybe looking at other people's projects will motivate you to finally do your own.

Some pages from my scrapbook:

And I have done one thing with my post-RevRad stuff because this was too exciting not to.

That flag has been going to shows with me since 2010, but I'd never been close enough for Billie to take it in England until the Isle of Wight Festival. It's retired now. I had to frame it with some photos of our adventures over the years.

Now I want to see your stuff!

[Hermione]

When I got GD prayer candles I had no choice but to make an actual shrine. Newest thing I added was awesome GDA sticker @solongfromthestarsgave me at the Wembley show last month along with the cool One Eyed Bastard confetti . Favourite things on it besides the candles are the Rev's beer can, Billie birthday card my nephew made me, mini Blue from my brother, pink Claire's makeup bag from AI era and Mike's pick that the lovely J'net very sweetly gifted to me at my first GD show when he gave her it

In the box on the right I have lots of gig mementos like confetti, wristbands and tickets as well as other random stuff

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

I used to have a kind of GD shrine by my bed but it's never been set up again since we had to move back in 2011. Found this though - a picture of my desk at work from August 2010!

I don’t keep my stuff together as I’m trying not to let on just how much I have but may have to get it together!

Definitely do it! It's so much fun to look at

 

[Montclare]

My stuff at home isn't in any organized fashion, but I have pics I've taken at all of my shows on magnets on my filing cabinet at work.

[Undómiel]

Not a shrine exactly, but my diary entry (A4 book) about the Wembley Stadium show in 2010 was 16 pages long. It has no paragraphs, it's just 16 pages of writing. What the fork did I talk about?!

Understandable, the show was incredible! Opening alone deserves a few pages

Oh my goooodddd.... all the feels. I remember the crushing after the 1,2 1,2,3,4 - genuinely thought I was gonna get squished. So worth it though. 

 

Some noteworthy quotations/outtakes: 

• "We found our place at Gate H and pulled up a patch of concrete to sit on. We stayed there for a while, but I was shivering violently so [my friends] went to find some coffee. Whilst they were gone, I got talking to the other crazy ass fans who were there at 6.30 in the morning. [My friends] came back with a cup of hot. No that's not me writing too fast, it stops after hot because the liquid in the cup was unidentifiable." 
• "My friends brought a fitted bedsheet from IKEA because we were that cold. We ended up lying on the tarmac wrapped in the blue sheet next to each other to keep warm. We must have looked like a pack of sardines - just four heads, poking out of the top of this sheet!'

 

• "I saw Mike first, and by this point the screaming had reached the decibel level of an airport runway. Tré then ran on to more screams, and then I saw Billie. OMG BILLIE." <-- I was such a little fangirl. 
• "[Billie] said he asked Jesus to clear the sky of clouds so that God could watch his favourite band play again, but got ignored, so he went to Jesus' best friend "Also known as Satan" and Satan said hell yeah he'd watch them play." 
• "[During Boulevard of Broken Dreams] Billie got down on his hands and knees to worship the crowd."
• Apparently, at one point, I thought Billie Joe actually looked at me when I motioned for him to come spray water on our side because he had a water gun. Yeah, sure Bryony, of course he noticed you. 
• They played Dominated Love Slave with Beej on the drums. 
• At the end of 'Hitchin A Ride' Billie came to the front and said he "wanted to fuck each and every one of us" <-- Um, I'm still waiting Beej. Tick, Tock. 
• Apparently it was sweaty balls in the pit due to pyrotechnics. 
• We also got 'When It's Time' which was to do this day is one of my fave songs. At that point it had only been out a week. I remember grabbing my best friends hand, and holding it as we sang. Crazy moment full of so much emotion. 

 

Billie speech - not sure when he gave this, or how accurate it is, 'cause it'll be from memory in my diary a few days later: "I'm not sure when we're coming back, but I'll tell you one thing, I'm going to remember this for the rest of my fucking life. Yeah, we'll come back. We will come back. There ain't no other band I'd rather do this with. Bands break up, my favourite bands have broken up, some of my favourite people have died. The only way I'm getting out of this band is when they roll me away in a coffin, I'll tell you that.' 

 

There's a lot lot lot more in that entry, and some of it is batshit, so I'm not repeating it. But... fun trip down memory lane.

I left behind all of the tour t-shirts, magazine articles, and memorabilia I had collected when I left Venezuela. And my bass picks I got from Mike at the shows in NYC 2009 were pick pocketed (I foolishly kept them in my wallet and it was stole, only time I have been pick pocketed in my life). The only thing I brought with me was my Venezuelan flag that Billie took on stage at one of the those NYC shows before throwing it back at me. That flag also went to many protests with me, both before and after getting on stage with Green Day, so it has all sorts of sentimental value for me. 🥹

God, what a great song. And also, what a great opener.

That is so cool though that you have that written down and have kept it so now you can revisit it.

I've kept a diary ever since I was 13, so somewhere they'll be a written record of all the shows I've been to. I should dig 'em out and see what they say... 

[Göta]

This thread is so cute!!

I don't have a "shrine" but the walls of my old bedroom back at my parents house are still... decorated with all the GD stuff I hung up between 2010-2013: Newspaper reviews from the shows in Oslo 2010 & 2013, photos from the show in Berlin 2012, and some confetti. 

 

I also found these ones that I for some weird reason kept from newspapers (from around 2011-12) + some old and more recent tickets.

It was so good! Awesome to have details like this written down to remember it better

I'm the same! 🤣 I normally have a couple of framed tickets on my wall, and then the rest of my stuff is under my bed, (although I imagine my collection/accumulation is not as impressive as most anyway!lol)

This is so epic! 🫶 It's bringing back memories for me because I was at the show too! I wish I kept detailed dairies now!

I'm loving this thread! It's definitely giving me some ideas of what to do with some of my bits and bobs. 

 

[She-Loves-Him]

It was 16-year-old me who had the walls plastered with magazine clippings and posters, not so much 33-year-old me (more Spice Girls stuff now, tbh )... but yesterday I dug out my old American Idiot purse to clean up to take to the Toronto show with me next week (obvs) and I found a pair of tickets in it from the 21CB tour, summer 2010 in Toronto. That would have been the second of two Green Day shows dad and I went to together and probably one of the last couple of concerts we would have gone to together before he died in 2015.

Kinda love that they've been kicking around in that purse for the past 14 years, it was a cool find. But it's also really fucking with me.

[PhuzzyPhriend]

Wait, I didn't realize I was supposed to have a shrine. 🤣At any rate, I do have some stuff in my office that keeps me sane. Below is the poster over my desk as well as my Funko Pops and a puzzle that a friend got me last Christmas (and I still haven't yet put it together and I feel terrible about that LOL.

[jengd]

I had a free morning (most of which I needed) so gathered all my stuff together and it's worse than I thought 😂 I realised, after I took the pics that my new OEB t-shirt is on the washing line so it's 12 t-shirts I have not the paltry 11 you can see 😂 😂but that my anniversary Insomniac is not with the rest of my CDs so that's a worry.  The first pic is the displate pic hubby bought me the other Christmas, the little figures are ones my daughter-in-law made me, I haven't shown my calendar as you will all have seen the pics before and I make my own now you can't buy them and also, I haven't shown my two beautiful hand made Christmas ornaments from @Montclare and Christmas Stocking from @IcyMoffattwhich are in the loft along with two home made baubles filled with confetti from shows.

This is an epic collection!

I also have a wonderful Christmas ornament from @Montclare (a FBHT one), I make myself save it for Christmas. Can't find a good pic but it's in the top left hand corner by the tree here (also a Billie Joe doll made by my brother's ex gf with added santa hat on the other tree lol)

 

 

[jengd]

Goodness, I forgot my jigsaws, the ones which came out a few years ago!  So much stash 😂😂

[Montclare]

I've got that puzzle.  You too can hold Billie in the palm of your hand.

[The Grohl]

My Green Day stuff is either put away or spread out, but here are some of my mini shrines

(Yes, that is the foam finger from the GD store that I bitched endlessly about on GDC )

(If you squint you can see my Network trading cards behind Mike, Billie's baseball card behind....Billie...and my old Green Day phone case behind Tre). There are Green Day picks in the little tin. Shout out to James and Trent Reznor in the corner.

I framed my Saviors listening party swag

So now I think my brain is deliberately hiding my stuff, I have the Saviors listening party poster on my fridge, walk past it 40 times a day and forgot to “declare” it 😂😂

[Psycho Britney]

I have been inspired to start looking, and thinking about sorting out some of my things. I was quite impressed when I found this 1994 copy of NME in my stuff!😁 I can't believe the size of this magazine, and the fact that it is thirty years old! I didn't buy it in 1994 (I was too young to be into GD), but I bought it off ebay when I first got into them around 2004/2005, so I have had it quite a few years!lol!
