I've been given paid leave from work due to the impact of the coronavirus for at least the next three weeks (though I can't see how I'll be working again by then), and I'm trying to keep myself busy with a range of activities, and of course, listening to GD. And I'm sure many people here are in the same boat as me, trying to keep busy. So let's suggest some GD videos to watch, it can be anything- interviews, concerts, rare footage. 

I'll start. You can see the picture of him on the back of Blue in this video.

Good idea @RedundantIdiot.  Came across interviews with Billie and Michael Mayer again from AI hitting Broadway.  Lots of goodness fir the fan girls if you missed them at the time!

Here's a great one if you've never seen it or maybe if you haven't seen it in a long time:

Anyone else curious as to what 39/Smooth or Kerplunk would sound like if the boys re-recorded those albums?

We’ve been debating whether or not is BJA a household name... I showed a friend a ´shot video last night, the reaction I got was “wow what is this who’s this guy” :ga:

Nobody even gives me the time of day when I have something to say or want to show someone anything to do with Green Day. Seems like I'm a weirdo where I live for being so into them.

Does anyone on here have the Uno Dos Tre Lyric book box set? And if so is there any info on how limited it was? I can't find it anywhere anymore.

I lost a lot of my things in a house fire recently.  So I'm desperately trying to get what I can back.

Same. I rarely talk about them irl or I pretend I’m a lot less casual fan than I really am because I don’t want my irl friends to know I’m still crazy for the same band I liked in fifth grade :lol: (that’s also why my gdc account is top secret haha)

I’m not 100% sure but if I remember correctly, it was normally available for preorder when the albums came out.

Sorry about the fire :(

The trilogy booklet are nice but I was so disappointed by the 4-5 pics they gave us in the bundle. 

It was low quality and not very good picture lol

I think we mentioned The Struts in this thread, so I wanted to share the cover of The Spice Girls they did in the spirit of No Fun Mondays

I love them they’re a fun band and the lead singer gives me serious Freddie Mercury vibes

I thought about this more than once, and I think the songs would sound really good; even when I don't think they'd do it, other than performing them live.

As long as Billie doesn't sing like in FOA, the result would be awesome.

I'm not sure what's more adorable - Lenny or the fact that Billie has a chihuahua called Lenny.

I’m listening to The Longshot and damn Kill Your Friends feels relevant. How did he know?

I’d say he has that “fuck everything it’s the apocalypse party” mood and finally we’re on the same page

After I (finally) got ready this morning, I had Wild One playing in the car as I made quick trip to my office, and I realized that I was this line in the song:  "All dressed up and nowhere to go..."

This is how I feel anytime I put on more than leggings and a t-shirt for the day. Ugh... this work from home life sucks.

So many of Billie’s songs are taking on whole new meanings these days 🥺

I started reading Nobody Likes You yesterday since I've got time and I've been meaning to read it for a long time and @Beerjeezus made me remember that. Super good read! I didn't know that GD had a song named "Slappy". Was there ever a recording of that? Supposedly it was on the 39/Smooth EP, but I haven't heard it before. I have the 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours deluxe version and it's not on there.
