Yeah, I'm very happy with the recordings we got. But, I still, now more than ever, really really want them to do a live album / DVD! I hope with all the little pro-shot stuff we got since December last year, they're holding it back and working on something or other. It would be such a waste if they did absolutely nothing with it... I mean, even Cuatro featured some live footage. So, come on, this era deserves its fair share of pro-shot stuff too! 

I'm pretty damn sure there will be a DVD/live album. I know their marketing strategy is a head-scratcher those days and you never know, but they must be deaf or blind or dumb (or everything combined) if they don't realize that this era SCREAMS FOR a DVD. The boys are better than ever live.

God, the Hyde Park material is so siiiiiick. Can't stop listening. Thanks again for recording :ga:

But those pictures are taken by photographers (I think?), so that's kinda their job. And about Britt and Sara, well, they have seen them live so many times :lol: also maybe they just want to share a little bit with the people that is not there :P 

But yeah, it's getting a little tiring how he rants about that almost on evey show lol. 

 

Yes the photos are taken by a photographer who works for them (Greg Schneider) but it still contradicts his point about not taking photos of the gig because you don't need photos and you should live in the moment. Brit and Sara are doing exactly what he complained about then...taking videos and pictures to share with people who aren't there like Billie bitched about don't take a photo to share with your grandmother just tell her about it.

I understand taking a few pics or even a vidoe of a couple songs, but if someone is just recoding the whole show on barrier it's kinda annoying, or if your behind someone with their phone in the air all the time, but if they took more pro footage,  they could even just put up a few go pros around the stage of we wouldn't have to take pics or vids the whole time  

 

I've been on the barrier or very close to it for more shows than I care to mention and I've never witnessed anyone who could manage to hold up a phone for more than a few seconds at a time in the pit. If anyone could they deserve a medal for balance etc to be honest :lol:

So very late to this party as been away, but Billie said "hope to work with Sam Bayer" so I guess we have ages to wait, if it happens! 

Very disappointed about the length if the broadcast but it did sound amazing.  Thanks all for sharing,

It must have been a very dull pit!! Every Green Day gig I've been to there were crowd surfers going over my head every other minute and if you were dumb enough to try to hold up your phone for a full minute you could kiss it goodbye.

Well she's certainly rare! Even if there are a handful of individuals who manage to pull this off in an entire venue full of regular people just having fun, it doesn't justify Billie's annoying rants and again I refer to my point that the wives are the most guilty of doing what he bitches about.

I think it's possible to be annoyed with the "must. record. everything." culture (and it's not exactly exclusively a barrier issue) and still run a band depending on a certain level of promotion (although that's another discussion entirely :P). We're all hypocrites in one way or another. I agree Billie is starting to sound parodic but again, we hang on his every word, he's not catering to us. I don't think he's resposible for Britt and Sara's actions either.

On a related note: I like how he's recently gone from saying "please don't film, you're not looking at me" to the more sarcastic "oh so nice to see there's HARDLY any phones out" :D

If they really wanted to they could do what they did at the Chris Rock show I went to recently.  They gave everyone a magnetic locking pouch and made them lock up their phones for the duration of the show.  It was so weird to be waiting for a show to start and not see a single person on their phone.

I know he's not responsible for Brit and Sara's actions but it is a little pathetic to see Sara on the stage filming AS he was having his rant in Dublin!! I'm relieved he at least ditched the bit about "if you are looking at me through your phone you aren't really looking at me", because it sounded like a diva rant. LOOK AT ME not your phone kind of ridiculousness. In fairness he should just find something else to complain about or maybe shut up and play a song instead!

Oh great we haven't had a i hate Adie thread in a while so let's start going after Britt and Sara :end of sarcastic comment: 

 

I wouldn't consider Britt or Sara audience members and for all we know they could be filming at the request of their husbands for their own reasons

He didn't want his new stand up routine on the internet. He got away with it, I'm sure other acts may soon follow suit.

Dave Chappelle was the first one to use that cell phone thing from what I remember

?? So if somebody points out that something Billie rants about hating is exactly what Sara and Britt do at almost every gig then they are "going after" Brit and Sara rather than "going after" the stupidity of Billie's argument. You really, really missed the point. :lol:

Billie is addressing the audience Sara and Britt are NOT audience members 

you said "it is a little pathetic to see Sara on the stage filming" so you were going after Sara

how do you know Tre didn't ask her to film him? Or know if Mike didn't ask Britt to film some footage? Which isn't uncommon Dean Deleo of STP would have his wife film whenever she went to shows I know several artists who have whoever they travel with to get some video or pictures during the show for memories reasons

I'm gonna take the other position here and say what GD's friends and family do is different from the main audience.  First, isn't Sara a photographer? I thought she was taking photos in an official capacity to be used on their instagrams. Photos for publicity are a different thing.

Second, they are not the audience. GD isn't performing for them. You have to imagine it from the band's perspective, you're trying to make a connection with your audience because their feedback and energy is essential to your performance and all you see is a sea of phones blocking faces. It has to get annoying.

WhiteTim: we cross posted with similar thoughts!

Here's a wild idea don't quote half my sentence and therefore take it out of context, quote my entire sentence. I said

Not once did I indicate I had any problem with the girls filming. In fact I complained about Billie bitching about people using phones. I couldn't have been clearer. Billie never specified that he had a problem with audience members as opposed to non audience members. He complained that people felt the need to capture memories using phones as opposed to living in the moment blah blah. My entire point is his own Instagram is filled with said "memories" from gigs as is those he shares the stage with. It was particularly pathetic at the Dublin gig as during his rant about not taking photos at gigs Sara was behind him taking photos of Tre. That was no reflection on Sara obviously but it was incredibly ironic for Billie who regularly uses Sara's photos from gigs on his IG. Surely he should have been living in the moment and not need those horrendous fake memories from new fangled phones just to show his grandma followers he was playing a certain gig/city. :lol: Actually at Dublin he had a rant about how Facebook was like heroin too. It was an anti social media rant. I was like :lol: I just hope he does less heroin than he does social media!! :lol:

 

Ps. That is my sarcastic way of saying Billie needs to just shut up about fans taking photos on phones.

I agree on the rants he does (I haven't listened to any of the RevRad shows since there's not a lot of full pro shows out but I'm sure it's probably like all the past rants he has done in the past) he did the social media one and I'm like you have a twitter and IG account it'd be one thing if those accounts were run/managed by management or label then he could be "I don't use them etc" but he posts himself so he can be hypocritical at times (but then everyone is to some point) 

my bad it seemed to me that you're signaling Sara out my apology for misunderstanding your post

I dont get why its bothering you so much. When you get your own show with thousands of fans, you can do whatever you want to

I have to say that as a short concert goer, perpetually struggling to get a good view, its bad enough that all you young whippersnappers are giants, but then you add phones to the mix and it makes me crazy.  I am with Billie - put the f*****g phone away!

Maybe he's thinking of us shorties lol
