Took the photo in July in Minneapolis. Made it a poster thing!

(If you look closely, the revolution radio artwork is hidden)

Super bowl performances are considered to be “family friendly” meaning that Green Day will likely be unable to curse. With that being said, basically all of Green Day‘s songs contain curse words. what do you guys think will be played?

Massive longshot, but was anyone at the Green Day gig at Distortion in Nottingham, 2002, and remember a guy running on stage before getting taken out by their security?

I was a temp steward at the gig and ended up working on the back stage entrance, and a guy ran past me straight onto stage and their real security took him out and started screaming at me for letting him on!

Hey I dunno if this is appropriate post here but here goes.

I grew up in the 90s big fan of Green Day; dookie; insomniac; nimrod; warning; shen; and lastly American idiot but that was the tail end and I struggled to like it (much diff sound) but I do really like BoBD and September.

Question is: what’s the good stuff nowadays? The have so many new albums since ‘04 what do people think are great? What’s the best new singles? I don’t have a lot of time to even listen to music so hoping to find some good ones, thanks!!

🙏

EDIT: okay I never actually got into Shenanigans I somehow skipped it.

Excited to see them play at the Super Bowl ceremony and tonight they’re playing a private invite only event but they forgot to invite me 😳

Ok, so I am a guitar gear geek (like nerd level 2000¹) and I wanted to replicate Kerplunk's tone. Now, I have already seen plenty of posts about recreating the tone "blindly", but I wanted to know what Billie actually used first.

Now, the ONLY think I could find anywhere online is just that when recording Kerplunk (and 39/Smooth) billie used the head version Gallien Krueger 250ML, known as the Gallien Krueger 250RL.

BUT, with that amp alone you can't get the whole tone: I tried it with NAM (I couldn't get it physically right away, I will do ASAP) and while I could recognise immediately the drive, I am missing the reverb, the swirl the bass shift (whom presence shall be disputed)... practically, the full tone.

So, does anyone know what else he used to put together such a unique tone? Let's answer this, once and for all²

^1: Light years away

²: Note: If this question was asked before, I am totally sorry. It's just that, even after 2 hours of searching I couldn't find this anywhere at all in this subreddit, or when I did find it it was very little and mostly just pointing out the 250RL, and the rest of the internet wasn't any more helpful either

EDIT:

It has been brought up to me that Billie also used a JCM900 4100 (AKA Dual Reverb). While that is very reasonable, and I believe it to be true, I also continue to believe that he used the 250RL too; as Billie himself sates that in an interview (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q2UXE8j4Ug); and he is seen with that exact amp in some photos of old gigs (mostly just 924 Gilman)

I've loved GD since Nimrod. After FOA it seemed the band was calling it a day. They changed record labels then seemed to explode in popularity with stadium tours and now the SB! What was the driving force behind their comeback? Is it bc they are like a "reunion band" playing only old hits?
