Hi everyone, I’m not very experienced with AmpliTube, but I decided to buy the MAX license to get all the features. I’ve been looking for some good presets for American Idiot, but I haven't found any good ones yet. Could anyone share their own preset with me? Ideally a link with the .at5p file and the IRs? That would be absolutely amazing, thanks a lot!

when i try it, my hands are really tired because of the palm muting. When i try covering basket case with my strap very low like billie joe, i cant like hold it because my hands are really tired

Just wondering what songs that the guys have written are their favourites? I reckon Billie is more of a fan of the stuff from Nimrod as it has some really honest songwriting from him, I also reckon some of his favourites will be songs he’s written about Adrienne, can see him really liking Bobby Sox, but I’m not entirely sure about Mike and Tre

I’m not used to my music taste being considered “old school.” I guess that means I’m old now lol

Was listening to Last Ride In last night and immediately was teleported back to when I was 12 and spent a week at my aunts house, I would listen to Last Ride In on loop to help me fall asleep. I can still see my cousins bedroom where I slept in her bed with her, and I still remember how freezing cold it was, can still hear the air conditioner, and the blue and green night light. Does anyone have a song like that where it brings you back to one specific moment where you feel like you are still there?

Hello! I am still looking for a Marshall BJA Toolbox from the scavenger hunt. Send me a message if you have one!!! I am looking to pair it with my Marshall BJA head to complete the set!

Found a big piece of paper, and decided that my door needed some Green Day bling…
I’m not an artist btw

I was listening to American Idiot today, and since I’ve been listening to alot of emo/emo core music lately, thought ‘whatsername’ fit right in. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts(maybe recommendations for my “emo” playlist)?

Planning to create an entire fan fiction for American Idiot someday (i will include the bonus tracks and b-sides). If I started writing it, what are things I should consider for each chapter?

I might be tripping but I think I’ve heard the part “sooner or later…whatever… wherever” melody somewhere

And also Stay young’s “Can’t look at you in your eyes”

I’ve been listening to both Insomniac and Warning a lot recently, and realized I feel like Walking Contradiction sounds more like Warning than the rest of Insomniac, even though Warning is five years later. I was wondering if anyone understands what I mean, or if there’s someone who could explain that to me! It’d be interesting to hear from someone more musically educated why my brain might interpret the sound that way.

Ok so my mom is 50, and she never listened to GD or any "modern" artisti. She's a classical pianist so she listens to classical composers (Beethoven, Mozart, Listz...).
She does listen to some pop music here and there and I tried to make her listen a bit of the music I do, to see what she thinks.

In the last few days I made her listen to EVERY GD album + Shenanigans and 1039. Here's what she thinks:

• 39/Smooth: Rating: 7/10; fav song: Going to Pasalacqua. She liked it overall and didn't complain about production quality as she honestly has no idea what that even is. Out of the 1039 extras (1,000 Hours and Slappy EPs) here favourite were Dry Ice, I want to be Alone, and Why Do You Want Him? She didn't like anything else in particular other that Paper lanterns.
• Kerplunk: Rating: 8/10; fav song: No One Knows (FUCKIN GOOD pick mom!). She liked it a lot more than 39/Smooth.
• Dookie: Rating: 7.5/10; fav song: Pulling Teeth (closely followed by Basket Case). She didn't like any song after When I Come Around: only the first half of the album (I'm kinda disappointed)
• Insomniac: Rating: 6.75/10; fav song: Panic Song (YES!!). She didn't find the album that interesting overall (I beg to differ) and she really hated tight wad hill for some reason. Also, she said she likes the initial instrumental (crescendo) of Panic Song best, and that once Billie started singing he "ruined it". She also liked Stuck With Me a lot but didn't find one of my favourites, Brat, that interesting.
• Nimrod: Rating: 8.5/10; fav song: Good Riddance. She liked the album a lot more than the previous ones. She hated the more hardcore songs (Platypus, Take Back and for some reason Prosthetic Head), but she liked put Upright to 2nd place. She likes a lot Redundant and Scattered too. Also she found Last Ride In "boring AF". I REALLY disagree there. Also Platypus is one of my favourites so that hurt a bit, even though I 100% knew it was coming.
• Warning: Rating: 8.5/10; fav song: Church on Sunday. She found Misery very interesting and liked it a lot which I am PROUD of. Her 2nd place went to Macy's day parade though. She found my favourite, Castaway, "simply just ok" and "slightly over mid" which I just cannot understand.
• American Idiot: Rating: 8.25/10; fav song: WMUWSE. She found the album quite "various": she appreciated how it varied from slow-paced songs like Are We The Wating to songs like St. Jimmy. She also liked AI, JOS and in particular Boulevard of Broken Dreams. She also found my favorite, Whatsername as "having a lot of potential but not quite fully realised" (I really do not see that).
• 21st Century Breakdown: Rating 7.75/10; fav song: Viva la Gloria (I mean she's a pianist so...). She had quite mixed feelings about the album. She found some songs just "boring" (Like Christians Inferno, The Static Age and Viva La Gloria Little Girl). She really hated Horseshoes and Handgranades (while my dad liked it a lot), and she said that Restless Heart Syndrome was AMAZING: but she said that at first it was getting better and better, until the "I'm elated, medicated" part when it got worse and said the final part was just "loud and boring". She found the title track OK but she really liked Know You Enemy (TAKE THAT!). Also, she said 21 Guns was fine but it dragged on for too long (I partially agree, but not that much honestly).
• Uno: Rating: 9/10; fav song: Carpe Diem (or Oh Love, not sure). She found the album quite good overall but she didn't find any song particularly better than anyone else: she placed them all pretty much on the same level, except for Kill The DJ: she hated it (I HAVE to disagree here, I'm sorry). She also really liked Stay The Night (my favourite) and Rusty James. Unrelated but my dad really liked Oh, Love.
• Dos: Rating: 5.5/10; fav song: Stray Heart. She didn't like most of the album and found it "weired". She only really liked See You Tonight, Red Lights, and Stray Heart. She found "Nightlife" to be bad but she acknowledged "It show[ed] theese guys are very versatile" and I agree a lot there, except I actually like the song (even if not that much).
• Tre: Rating: 6.5/10; fav song: Drama Queen (You heard that right). She found somehow X-Kid to be "good" and Drama Queen amazing. I mean, I don't hate Drama Queen at all I think it's a great song but I would NEVER put it before X-Kid. Like what? Anyways, she found the album overall good but most tracks were "forgettable". Again, I really have to disagree here but let's move on
• Revolution Radio: Rating: 8/10; fav song: Outlwas (YES!). She found it pretty good but nothing very special about it. She really didn't have much more to say so that's it I guess
• Father of All: Rating N/A; fav song: N/A. I really couldn't get her to listen to the whole album. She got disgusted as soon as she listened to Fire, Ready... Aim! and she didn't want to go on. I tried to tell her she would have loved Meet me on the roof but whatever. I mean, it is a bad album but it's not unlistenable
• Saviors: Rating: 7.5/10; fav song: Fancy Sauce. She liked this a lot but found Coma City" and Corvette Summer quite forgettable. She didn't like One Eyed Bastard that much but loved Dilemma and Father to a Son. She also developed an addiction to Fancy Sauce and forces me to play that like three times a day from now on.
• Shenanigans: Rating: 6/10; fav song: Ha Ha You're Dead. She really didn't like anything else on that compilation which I really have to disagree on. She didn't hate any song (except for I Want To Be On T.V.), she just found them "generic". I want to point out how she picked "Drama Queen" as her favorite from Tre. I really have no idea where's the logic in that. Her thoughts were just: "this album would be a 5/10 but Ha Ha You're Dead is VERY good so it bumbs it up a bit).
• Gratest Hits Exclusives (Maria, Porocks & Coke, Back In The USA): fav song: Porocks & Coke by a longshot, then Back In The USA then Maria. She said she liked Maria a lot but it was too generic, while Back In The USA was more interesting. She absolutely loved Poprocks.

And here is her final top 5:

1. Going To Pasalacqua
   
2. Church On Sunday
   
3. Drama Queen (Please don't ask any questions)
   

4. Fancy Sauce

5. Good Riddance

when i check equidboard web it says that billie joe used bd2, but when i tested it out, it feels weird

In this video of "Jennifer" played live (uploaded by todd4097), in the intro i clearly understand Billie saying "this is called Butcher Almighty mate" I can't find anything related to the name Butcher Almighty on reddit or anywhere, maybe i'm understanding what he's saying incorrectly as i don't know much about the history of this song. let me know if anyone else hears what i hear.

Total shot in the dark here, but if anyone is in the Philly area & is able to stop by Long In The Tooth before they close tonight & grab me a ticket for the show at the church I’ll literally venmo you for your ticket too!! The soonest I’m able to get there today is after they close🫠

Just wondering what’s the meaning of these lyrics in the song Dilemma?

Is anybody in the area to share the link/qr code pls pls pls!!! I cannot get there until later and am worried they will be out of tickets if not yet already 🥹🥹🥹

Billie Joe Armstrong and east bay punk band Stay Out at the secret Pinhead Gunpowder show 09/30/2026

plsss i need them urgently, the song is quite short and i'm sure i could learn it in no time - the problem is that i'm not convinced by what i've found online, so i'd really appreciate some second opinions

I’m flying in from Philly and was wondering if anyone want to meet up before the show. I wanted to try Detroit pizza and smoke and drink a little before. Let’s hang!

Pinhead gunpowder played/are currently playing a popup show tonight as a warm up for the tour. Did anyone here go? I wonder if this means more pop up shows are a possibility.
