Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The music industry plays itself at the 2015 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Ceremony Green Day is now being inducted, and the very rafters of Cleveland Public Hall reverberate with excitement. Did you know people love Green Day? People love Green Day. This makes the insanity for John Mayer’s solo seem like it was dosed with lithium. Fall Out Boy introduces the group, and if you want to feel old, listen to Fall Out Boy talk about Dookie in the same way you’d hear a rock critic talk about Beggar’s Banquet. Patrick Stump makes a fair point, though, when he argues that the silhouette of Billie Joe and his guitar has become an instantly recognizable image, a generation’s rock music equivalent of the Michael Jordan dunking image. (It seems less plausible now that I’m trying and failing to find the image in a Google search, but at the time it sounded utterly realistic.) Then, of course, Billie Joe takes the podium and says that Green Day stretched power-pop “into places it’s never gone,” which is an insane statement. They give good speeches, to be sure. Drunk Stephen Root is still loudly holding court at the table in front of me as the band talks about the importance of Gilman Street, Lookout! records, and their own journey. Billie Joe is dressed like a flamenco dancer. Mike Dirnt looks like a politician. Tre Cool looks like Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games. It’s great, though, because in the 30 seconds between accepting their awards and strapping on their instruments to play a rousing (and crowd-rejuvenating) set, Dirnt has ripped the sleeves off his suit. It’s the most culturally relevant act of the night, and the group feeds off the audience’s energy. I’m surprised it wasn’t chosen to be last, but I guess the name Ringo Starr still holds some sway in this world. http://www.avclub.com/article/music-industry-plays-itself-2015-rock-and-roll-hal-218295 Green Day mentioned here http://www.sunderlandecho.com/what-s-on/gigs-music/fans-told-to-expect-full-on-show-as-punk-legends-buzzcocks-make-sunderland-debut-1-7282126 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting them to go before Ringo. When their intro video started playing and I heard Billie Joe talking in it, I jumped and squealed. It was really unexpected!

What I meant was second-to-last, before Ringo, would've been ideal! Not wedged into the middle. They definitely overshadowed the next two acts. It was sad.

Tre [Cool] had a pellet gun, and he was trying to shoot glasses out of people’s hands, which he thought was a clever trick.

Guest Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I think it must be, Noel said he met him at the U2 concert in San Diego. Wait hang on. You're telling me that someone wllingly went to a U2 show, and then, to top it off, had a conversation with Noel Gallagher at the same show?

dumbell2424 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I think it must be, Noel said he met him at the U2 concert in San Diego. He must've failed geography. San Diego is nowhere near the concert he saw with BJA in San Jose. (This article says it was May 19th show...which was in San Jose). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Greenday June 3 Raining in Los Angeles - or June gloom. Been a few years since I've seen cloud like this in LA. Shot Green Day at lunch time and you know they are easy, and friendly. Spent the rest of the day with Dave Mustaine. I thought I could moan, Dave beats me hands down, but you know what, I always have a good time with him. He even asked after "Big Nose", photographer Peter Cronin (another great winger of the 20th century). I left Dave as he drove back to San Diego in the early evening rain. http://www.rosshalfin.com/diary/june-2009/diary-june-2009.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
