Hermione Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 One of the funniest things about watching that show is how Billie was pissed off that Bon Jovi were part of the line up and was making fun of them (don't remember when as I haven't watched it for ages but I know he did), and how afterwards he said part of the reason he stripped off was because they were there lmao 15 hours ago, Rumpelstiltskin2000 said: Wasn't it for charity or something like that? I'm still looking into whether it was for charity or not but I did find out that it was "She" Billie sang nude and this photo from Rolling Stone: There's video too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFeXuzYanbI 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hermione Posted January 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2019 I had to watch the show again just to see what he said about Bon Jovi. Jesus christ they were grumpy and obnoxious that night, never ending sarcasm and going on about how shitty the event is after every song lol. At 20:05 he takes the piss by singing Wanted Dead or Alive badly with a few different lyrics before claiming to have written it . At 28:35 he says "Richie Sambora eat your fucking heart out baby" after playing random guitar notes. And at 36:30 he sings Living on a Prayer as "living off my hair". For some reason I thought there was more than that. Maybe a couple of the other sarcastic comments were known to be aimed at them or something, not sure. Very entertaining show in any case 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very entertaining show in any case I don't know which interview it was, but I know there was one probably in 95 where Billie talks about how pissed he was that they were playing with Bon Jovi and why he decided to get naked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I’ve heard him mention it he said it was because he thought he’d never get the chance to play MSG again anyway so why not.

Maddie86 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I read about this recently in a book, apparently the show was originally supposed to be just green day and pansy division and then the radio station that was putting it on decided to make it a fest and pansy division had to go on first and play a super short set. I guess green day ended up playing really late because bon Jovi played an extra long set and threw things off schedule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that's the main reason but I've definitely heard him say it was because of Bon Jovi being there too. The whole show is part let's put on a great performance and part fuck this show and everyone here so makes sense that it was a bit of both. He also said he'd never got naked on stage before that when in fact he'd already done it at another show on that tour (possibly as warm up ) so he doesn't exactly always tell the whole truth when describing things 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 There's this quote from Spin Magazine about Billie getting naked too: "Well, if you’re playing in front of 20,000 people, you have to give them something to look at. I think that’s why I used to get naked so often. When a show is uneventful, or we’re not that tight, or the crowd is lukewarm - the clothes come off. You’ve got to give them something to remember, so ten years from now they can say ‘oh yeah! We saw Green Day and Billie Joe got naked!’ I came from a working-class background, and I work hard up there." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a rock and roll band. We're extroverted and exhibitionist. We're not shoe gazers no way. We're demented. Up on stage, I'm gonna take my fuckin' clothes off and wiggle my little dick at everybody. I'm gonna be totally obnoxious and rude and spit in the eye of every fucking heavy grunge band that ever came out" The two sides to Billie getting naked at shows: to make the show fun and to say fuck you 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Did the St. Jimmy symbol exist before the Broadway play? Or was it invented for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Pretty sure it was invented for that. I think it was probably based on the needle art from this because the design on the shirt is that with a heart over it: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day need at least 2 hours to do their thing but really.....3. 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Does anyone know where I can find a video of this without watching the whole show? I mean the magazine burning part One of the most remarkable aspects of the success of Dookie was just how little press the band undertook to promote it. In fact, the only interview the band consented to give to a mainstream publication in the United States was with Spin magazine in the autumn of 1994. Less than pleased with the results, at a concert at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago Billie Joe held up the magazine and set it on fire, telling the crowd that “this is a crock of shit, and if you believe it you are too.” (from Kerrang article "20 Things You Probably About Billie Joe Armstrong") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
