miss_youngblood commented I'm a Green Day guru as I like to call it, so here's some rare facts I learned over the years from studying Green Day in high school (I got an A+ too!) ❤️ Here we go: Tre Cool played jazz before joining Green Day. In my humble opinion, I found this very interesting because I've always wondered what his jazz days were like. '39/Smooth' has a family connection The album title was inspired by Billie's older brother Alan, who turned 39 on the day the album was recorded. The Nimrod booklet contains a hidden visual joke. Look closely at the scratched-out writing in the booklet. The repeated words are reportedly "Delete This." I found this one the most amusing. The last one is my favorite. To this day, Green Day has several unreleased songs. All the band members take turns behind the microphone when recording or simply putting music together regardless of the fact Bille is the lead singer.

Mollyluna commented Tour is over, and if you want to get some leftover merch 1-2-3-4 Go! Records has it. I‘ve just ordered a vinyl and a shirt. Hate those shipping costs and taxes but well… on Pinhead Gunpowder Announce 2026 North American Tour
arcadiagay commented I saw videos of it as well and all I was thinking "be careful. don't break the old man" 😂 Good for him though. He must've been jealous watching the people in the crowd do it. on Pinhead Gunpowder Announce 2026 North American Tour
