Me too I really didn't get the impression he felt comfortable or keen on talking about this shiny new album Radio Revolution I think I'm going to call it like that cuz it sounds really funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Free Europe or something like that. I think the guy tried, and sounded kind of interested but it was super out of place. Still, I was very happy they featured Green Day. It finally dawned on my how classic they have become. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki. Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 30 minutes ago, Jane Lannister said: Yes, it was a little strange. It made me wonder if it was payed promo (which is unlikely because their listeners are hardly Green Day's target group), they usually are on-point with their facts on cro+. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how Honza Vedral talked about them - I was decided to never pay attention to his opinions about Green Day since he bashed 21CB and said Uno was their best album since Warning and this was quite allright. I actually agreed with him. The interviewer sounded quite excited but couldn't get anything right haha Yeah, exactly, it's a bit strange... I wouldn't expect to hear about them there, but if the radio guy was interested and wanted to talk about them, why didn't he get the album title right I also felt a bit sorry for him. I wonder who actually decided to include this little interview. And what, did Vedral seriously say that about 21st CB Wow. I quite liked how he talked about RevRad. 40 minutes ago, Jane Lannister said: My mom has become quite supportive lately. She seemed genuinely excited when I told her about the show. Needless to say I'm very happy about it. That's really great Happy for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I watched the Today show segment. Billie looks so tired! I forgot he's doing double duty on promo for the album and the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? It was super weird Yeah, it was in his review for Uno, along with speculation that iHeart was a publicity stunt. I liked the way he talked about revrad too. I was surprised I could agree with him this time. Also, thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh okay, that's true I should probably move this out of this thread but oh my god, I just tried to look up his reviews and found this and it still makes me as mad as when I read it 6 years ago. It was the best show ever, he doesn't get it at all. I didn't know it's this guy. Don't mind me, I have to go calm down now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most reviews I read were like that - strangely enough, most Czech writers seem to dislike them. Look up what came out in Lidové noviny about that show. Holy shit, I'm still mad!

I managed to happily forget about this until today and will try to do it again, everyone who was there knows that the show was incredible, they played the longest set out of all the European shows, for god's sake! don't know why a lot of journalists dislike them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 'Bridgette Quinn's 22 Minutes' with Billie Joe Armstrong video: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/10/12/22-minutes-billie-joe-armstrong/ Another great interview with Billie about Ordinary World and RevRad. Not much new to learn, but I did enjoy the part where Billie reflects on performing with Paul and Ringo at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. Also, I continue to wonder if these journalists sitting across from him think, "Geez, this guy is kind of adorable." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, she needed to do more research about him, well I think but yeah, I love how excited he looked when he talked about Ringo and Paul, and about the AI movie and St. Jimmy, "Better hurry up, I'm not getting any younger" haha, and yes, so adorable 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, you can make a thread for anything you think is worth having its own thread/that you think would get more discussion than just a couple of replies or likes. Obviously it isn't always easy to decide whether something would fit better here or in its own thread, and you don't need to worry about it too much because a mod or another member can always make a thread for something posted in here if they think it deserves it. But as long as it fits that description for you always feel free to go ahead and give it its own thread if you want, we prefer that to having everything crammed in here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Thanks to you I could hear someone talking about them here again, which was really nice. I feel like it's always the same whenever someone talks/writes about Green Day in this country though... It makes me happy when it happens, but I usually end up annoyed because they get something wrong or just say silly things in general. I haven't read many reviews by local music critics, I think I subconsciously avoid them I will read some on the new album though, I'm interested to see what they have to say about it.
