Well, the original poster on Reddit deleted his post and account. So now we may not get to date the CD at all. 😢

Was this planted? Now I’m wondering the thrifting story was made up. :lol:

It seems the person who originally found it and posted about it deleted their own posts. My guess would be that they were contacted in not the most friendly terms by either band management or the record label? 😅

The timing is super weird and suspicious, I agree, and finding this in a thrift store sounds too good to be true, but on the other hand I don't see why the band would plant this. If they had wanted to release these demos, they could have released them in the Anniversary box next week. And not sure it's such a good promo move... the only people I see talking about this or even aware of this are the same people who already pre-ordered they Anniversary box. Even the number of upvotes and comments in the post was not crazy.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

I want the date of those songs though! 😂

As someone who was following the original wouldn't it make sense to plant that disk that John Roecker shared as being found via a thrift store rather than a disk that i doubt was going to be in the box set anyways?

Yeah.... they gave us a much better selection than the demos they were officially going to release lol. Perhaps the band wanted to give the fans a little something extra lol. idk.

considering the higher key BOBD and the fact that WMUWSE has the lyric that was missing from the demo that they released last month thats probably the case
what im wondering now is, how different are the demos of Whatsername, Novacaine and  Extraordinary Girl in the box set are compared to the versions on this disk

Its just like how everyone was expecting Nimrod 25th to have that awesome full band version of Allison on it, the one that leaked as a bootleg. Instead they ended up putting out an acoustic version. I don't mind, we still got a studio version of Allison. But it means they have much better sounding demos and outtakes in the vaults. And if Green Day really did "leak" this.... then thank you boys 😚 We're really enjoying them! My hope was, and maybe it sort of came to fruition, the band would release the AI 20th, and then be like "Annnnnd here's a special edition with even more content with more demos and outtakes!". 😃

5 demos is cutting it a little short (and also only 2 of those being singles+whatsername) unless we somehow manage to get a disk with different (and probably non story tied) versions of the other songs+Govenator (maybe govenator rough mix would confirm it being a MM2020 outtake?)
though this disk does give me hope that we will see that b-sides disk eventually

Although I like hearing the demos officially released, these are definitely more interesting with the changes!  Wake me up is way more immediate and boulevard has extra drive and a slightly different solo riff.  It’s funny how the drums at the start of extraordinary girl are exactly the same as the official record.

You reminded me, I still want the full band version of Alison!

I hope whoever bought the one off discogs shares it eventually. 🥲 I wanted to buy it but 1000 dollars for a record seems steep.

I don't think something could happen with Nimrod or Dookie in 2027 or 2029. I think we could get Warning 25th Anniversary and maybe Insomniac 30th next year in 2025...  then maybe something for 21stCB in 2029 or a Live Concert from Saviors era and/or a gig from a past era???

reminder that next year is also the 35th birthday of 39/smooth (+slappy and  the Sweet Children EP) and considering how both Warning and Insomniac have reasons both to get and not get a box i think 1039/ smoothed and sweetened out hours could also happen but yeah we probably are getting at the minimum Warning XXV by the start of next year and insomnaic 30th later in the year alongside probably the remaining shows on this current tour having more warniac

It would be nice to have the Warning demos. Clusterbomb (Warning version), Wasteaway, Sleepyhead etc 😃

Audiophile babble: Listened to these on my high end Fiio DAP with the 6 driver IEMs. They’re just incredible. The soundstage on them is so wide and opened. It has these little nuisances you won’t find on the final mastered releases. They are a gem 💎🥰
