It’s amazing how they’re still such great friends after all these years. They seem so content with each other.

[@sobangcha3042]

I love Green Day. They seem like a band that never forgets their roots. Not a lot of bands/artists look back at their old songs or ever play them again live.

[@JoeVideoed]

Unless they're desperate for $ because the new stuff won't sell. I like older bands that at least try to put out new music like Green Day is doing. That's what I loved about Rush; they kept trying to push the edge of the envelope creatively.

[@2fernandoc1]

Unless it's Father of All (we Green Day fans don't speak of it)

[@jckorn9148]

Man it's pretty wild to see a Morning show giving one of your favorite bands this kind of treatment. They were set to play baseball stadiums before the Pandemic hit. And now they're set for football stadiums. Great footage of Gilman Street. Anyone who doesn't know, Operation Ivy was a huge influence for Green Day. They opened for them and Op Ivy spun out into Rancid a few years later. Many current punk bands around the scene today are The Interrupters and Turnstile. With Spotify, it's easier than ever to keep digging.

And it's interesting to note that at 1:23 Billie Joe doesn't even mention the much-hated Tim Yohannan (in the foreground of the photo), the club owner who banned them after they signed with a major label. They hated him and released a vicious song about him ("Platypus") even after he died of cancer.

[@AlyssaShannon-u1i]

1st core Green Day memory '96 or '97 - my mom would take me to the local bar on Friday nights to eat some appetizers and to play that stupid TV trivia game. (My mom couldn't afford much for fun for me, but she knew someone here so meals were free, and it was my source of "fun" as a kid. Didn't have any kids my age to play with in the neighborhood.) Someone put Green Day on the jukebox - "When I Come Around". Every Friday since, I'd save up some quarters and would play that song, Basketcase, Longview, and Welcome to Paradise. Wouldn't be surprised if I annoyed the hell out of the adults. But that was the start of my Green Day rabbit hole. I was about 7. Fan ever since. 7 year old hanging out at a bar on Friday nights. Man how times have changed.

These 3 guys, billie, mike and tre are like a family to each other and they grow old together.

[@avestuart]

My first band played with Green Day in Michigan during summer of 1990 while they were on their first tour. We were all the same age of 18 and I recall that bassist Mike Dirnt had graduated high school the month prior. The show was in a small warehouse which was being used as a skate ramp, the bands set-up and played on said skate ramp. I remember the show was huge for the time, just over 100 people and there were quite a few people I didn't know which was unsuual for punk shows in that area at the time. They were following Green Day around. Afterward they all slept in a tent on the Lake Michigan shoreline. I still have two singles which Billie Joe gave to me, both now long out of print.

[@mattwatts33]

Why hasn’t Billy Joe aged? What is he eating? Who is his yoga teacher? Wow. As a Club Kid from the 1980’s, I have to say it is really special, when your club is still there, 30-40 years, later. Numbers, on Westheimer in Houston is also quite iconic, as clubs go. The Peppers played there naked…TSOL and Black Flag were banned, because of the joyous damage their fans enacted, during the show. I was walked in, by the sound man for the Cure. I sat on a giant Marshall stack amp, and had the best seat for both visuals and sound! Rudyard’s is also very old. Lots of great things happened there. I am so glad Green Day has survived.👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋💋🇺🇸🌸Punk Rock is the music of protest. Of course, they still keep that element in their music. Getting older does not tend to make people care less about injustice. Not if they were ever sincere.💋

Numbers is truly an iconic club. Rudyard's, too. I do miss Fitzgerald's, and the Pig, though.

I got my tickets for the Los Angeles date as soon as I could. Been a fan of these guys since "Dookie". The stuff I've heard off the new album is a return to form. The thing I remember when "Dookie" came out was being broken up about Kurt Cobain dying. I heard Green Day, and that album was such a salve for my grief. Music will go on! I told everyone to listen to them. I said they were like the Second Coming of The Ramones. No one was interested, until they played Woodstock 1994 in August and became the hottest band in the world.
