When I was a little kid doing air guitar to my favorite records I never thought I’d be doing it with an actual guitar in front of that many people. Billie Joe Armstrong

With a Peculiar Name commented I was able to go to the Portland and San Francisco shows. They were honestly two of the best concert experiences I’ve ever had. The Portland experience was particularly great. It came before SF, so that was part of it for me. I never thought I’d get to see PHG in concert, so it was really exciting. I got in line early and waited with other fans who were all super cool and so nice! And of course, the concert was amazing! The setlist was so good for both shows. But the opening acts were better than SF. Constant Insult’s performance was a little better, and I liked the first opener (Divers) in Portland better. on Pinhead Gunpowder Announce 2026 North American Tour
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
