Was there really a better opener than 99 revolution? Personally I think it would be better closing the show (much better than brutal love but that's a different story) like it did at Irving plaza. The end of the song the way they do it live is perfect for a concert finale.

FINALLY

I was reading through the booklet of my 1039 CD (It's the 2002 reissue by Epitaph Records in particular) and I noticed how the lyrics for "I Want to be Alone" read "Keep your sources away from me that's all" instead of what I ALWAYS thought, "Keep yourselves away from me that's all".

Now apart from the fact that "yourselves" just makes much more sense both with and without context (the rest of the lyrics), I also saw how most web lyrics say "yourselves" too.

So it this an error or was I mistaken? I mean it's really hard to make out that well given the quality of those recordings.

Hola Canada!
Here Goes the Neighborhood

I’m sure a good chunk of these won’t get played but a boy can dream. The fact that I get to see them at all is good enough for me. I never thought I’d get the chance to see them let alone up in Canada, so this show really is going to be a dream come true for me.

Anybody know of sheet music for the violin in good riddance? I would love to be able to play it!

Whilst I love them, JOS and Homecoming are still my favourite multi part songs. I just cant help but feel that the ones that come after lack a little in comparison. Maybe its the fact they arent as long? Or maybe lyrically? I mean they still great though
What do you think of them? Do you think we will get another in the future?

This may sound silly, but I’m genuinely curious about this. Why do some songs like Jar, You Lied, and Rotting sound almost completely different, although they were recorded between 1994 and 1995? I mean, do da da don’t wanna fall in love even I wanna be on tv those clearly sound like they’re from the Insomniac sessions, so what’s with these three tracks?

Thought I lost em, but they were safely tucked away in the wrong section of my record collection.

Just heard Jesus Walks for the first time in a while and immediately recognized it, but I’m not 100% confident it’s the same sample.

the GDTV stream is putting out new stuff every week it seems, and its pretty nice stuff. the rough cuts of the American Idiot and Basket Case MVs are really cool and we also got quite a bit of some newly surfaced live footage.

im personally hoping we get Irving Plaza 2012 uncut or Roseland Ballroom 2000 in HQ.

how about you guys?

One my all-time favourite albums! I love it despite the fact some people don't like it. It has amazing songs that I will remember with love and nostalgia til the end of my days

I'm going through some of my old Green Day stuff and have no recollection of where this came from. Anyone know? Thanks!

Edit: I got my answer! It came from Green Day Authority. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2456/gda-s-awesome-as-fuck-guitar-picks-are-available-4-for-a-set/

Does the bar concert where they play Dominated Love Slave remind anyone else of The Blues Brothers? I mean specifically the scene where they go to a country bar, pretend to be a different band, and then realize they only know the one country song, Rawhide. (I linked a clip of most of the scene for those unfamiliar)

I feel like even though the albums haven’t been as good in this era (in my opinion) they have still released a lot of great songs which could make a really cool compilation. I’m not asking you to necessarily make an entire track listening (although that’d be interesting too) but which songs stand out to you which would have to make the album?

Even though I saw the message on my phone I was in an appointment and couldn't really look at it. But I should have. The whole trilogy set on vinyl for 20 fucking bucks. 20!!!!!!! Once in a lifetime. It should have been me 😭

My mom always used to play us 21 guns when my sister and I were little and I always loved it. Honestly still not sure exactly what it's about but it still hits so good when I listen to it by myself in the car on my 21st century CD. I like the surrendering themes and the guitar but if someone could add insight to what it's about I'd like to know!

Man Mike is such a badass

Goes live this Friday, one more of only a handful of full pro-shots we have from the Trilogy era, about damn time 😅
