When you look at the "masturbation on stage" videos, it's hard to imagine how anyone could do that without some liquid/chemical courage. Sorry this thread has kind of gone astray, lol. He's always been kind of outrageous on stage but there was just something about those antics that said "I am so fucked up right now". And would it really be a GDA thread it if it didn't go off the rails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendepent Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 You are lucky that Billie doesn't swear like he used to. The only swearing you will hear is those inside the songs. Pretty safe to my taste. The rest is up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I totally understand - my boy was 11 on the 21CB tour & he begged me to go & I said he was too young for a GD concert. But I would have no hesitation now taking an 11 year old - BJ is really tame. Even at Soundwave in OZ I think the worst he said was "he wants to have babies with Australia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Billie was born to do that stuff with or without liquid/chemical courage (did you see his Instagram recently? ). But I guess it's a contributing factor. Glad to hear your decision @vipersnipe, you'll both have a wonderful time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I saw my first Green Day show when I was 11 and I turned out fine. I don't think it's a big deal. When I was 11 I knew that they were a famous band and did crazy shit and that that's not how I should go to school and talk or act. Take your kid. They'll be fine. Kids are a lot better at being rational than people give them credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
