Popular Post jengd Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 So I am a member of a Hella Mega FB group, sure more of you here are, and one of the fans at the London show last night says she was interviewed for a Green Day film! She didn’t say HM film. We know they often shoot live footage but sounds like we might actually get to see some this time! 🤞🏼 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point a guy came to film a panning shot of the queue with everyone "going crazy" and he said it would be for a "Green Day film" and mentioned something about interviewing people. Wasn't sure if that actually means a film or not but sounds interesting. Btw I can't believe I was ever at all less excited for the Hella Mega Tour than other GD shows. 10/10 fucking amazing. Weezer and Fallout Boy were a ton of fun. And "greatest hits" setlist doesn't matter at all when they're putting on such an incredible show and knocking every song out the park one after the other, and keeping all the people who were mostly there for FOB or just to see three big bands just as into it making for a great atmosphere in the crowd. It works perfectly. And they threw in some extra surprises I hadn't seen before as well (Kiss cover, total out of the blue surprise "All the Young Dudes" cover right at the end after Good Riddance, and a cool drum solo thing from Tre). And King for a Day/Shout as the cherry on top 🥰 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s only recently people have allowed themselves to believe it’s actually happening. I am so excited for Glasgow it’s ridiculous 🤣 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so excited for Glasgow it’s ridiculous 🤣 It's so great, they're on top form and there's that extra layer of excitement they have when playing a big stadium (only seen them in a stadium twice but it's definitely a thing). You'll love it! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I’m hoping for a short sleeved shirt or t—shirt as an apology for 2017 🤣🤣. I cannot believe it’s been 5 years since I saw them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Nimrod era vibes with the grown out black hair and no eyeliner. He looked really great. And Mike (who looked on point as always) had leopard print hair! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marie_GD Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 Yeah the film crew were there for Green Day. The show was AMAZING and Billie took my UK 🇬🇧 flag on stage during minority, wore it around his neck while he played the harmonica, hung it on a mic stand next to Kevin, and than used it again during King for a Day before throwing it back to me ❤️ It was extra special because we wrote our names, Green Day Inc and the name of our friends all over it, so it was kinda like they were at the show with us, including a friend who passed away a few years ago. If anyone has photos/videos of those moments, please send them my way. Thanks! 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said on her podcast that Billie and her husband Lee were working on another project together. Could this be it? Is he directing a GD doc? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RedundantIdiot Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 My thoughts from last night in Huddersfield: Amyl and the Sniffers weren’t for us at all to be honest (sorry). We thought they were loud for a support act and we couldn’t really understand the lyrics. After about 10 minutes we went downstairs to get food. Weezer were much better than what we expected, although I only knew just over half the songs they played. I really enjoyed FOB although the others preferred Weezer. Patrick’s vocals are incredible but I don’t see why that house was moved onto the stage for two songs. And then GD came on and we were blown away by them. I was sceptical about as many covers but it all flowed nicely as one coherent setlist. Billie paused the band twice, once during Longview (he messed up the lyrics when they restarted) and before Rock and Roll All Night (he did a mini-cover of Ziggy Stardust while he was waiting to restart). I’ve never been to a concert that has been paused more than once, but it was nice to see that Billie was watching out for the fans. During one song (I can’t remember which), he snarled about the abortion ruling in America (“B*stards”, “pr*cks” and “f*ck America” were the profanities he used). I thought they could have done better with the camera shots for the big screens. There were times that the picture on the screens didn’t seem in time with the music, the screen near us went blank down the middle once or twice, and during Minority the camera remained on Billie instead of panning to the band member he was introducing. The stage was slightly to our right, we could see the front and far side of the stage but not the back where the drummers were because the stage covering was blocking our view. However, we could clearly see the bands coming and going from the stage for the best part of 20 seconds as they walked around the stand behind the stage and up the stairs and onto the stage. Weezer even sat in the stand behind the stage after their set to have something to eat. Overall, it was definitely worth waiting all this time for. I would go to see FOB and Weezer again. Hopefully it won’t be another 5 years before I see GD again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I've never been a huge Bowie person, but there's nothing like an inspired cover by Green Day to get me into an artist. It's clear in every line that those songs mean so much to Billie. Keep the deep stuff coming, man! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love these classic rock covers, but if they can rehearse All The Young Dudes, they can rehearse an extra Green Day deep track and play it too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
