For once borders and long distances are for something. I agree. If you look at my comments from sometime last week all the Europeans on here jumped me for that. I guess they think a regular border is the iron curtain? Our population densities are much lower and that helps with covid as social distancing is much more effective in a lower population density situation. We do still have large cities though, Mexico has the largest city in North America however, our cities have much more land mass so once again population density isn't the same as what it would be in Europe or Asia.

Beerjeezus Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The thing is, with little coordinated action, I can’t really see this going away anytime soon. Obviously I’m no expert and if someone is, I’d be very interested in your take, but my common sense view is that as long as some countries will be doing the herd immunity approach, people will keep transmitting the virus back and forth as soon as the travel bans are lifted.

Honestly it's starting to piss me off that GD can't do the same. They were supposed to be on tour right now, why won't they give us something? I just don't get what their problem is lol. I really agree- it would be great if they could! But they’re smart and know this- there may be reasons why this hasn’t happened yet. The Bay Area is now in a lockdown so maybe it’s not even possible. And even before the lockdown perhaps they wanted to self quarantine for a couple weeks to make sure they were safe to do so. When I mentioned the idea I hadn’t even considered these things yet- this is all happening so fast. Crazy to think that even a streaming show might take some time to put together at this point, but that’s where we are. Stay safe everyone, I really enjoy this forum and now more than ever I’m thankful for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in my opinion, they should go on tour next year. Things right now seem pretty bad and the situation isn't gonna end in a month or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping things will quickly bounce back when the ban on pubs and live music ends though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's weird because I literally caught swine flu and was the most ill I've ever been in my life by going to see GD during their world tour in 2009 (from Americans who had travelled over here no less). Seemed like nothing was done to combat that at all, nothing closed or cancelled or anything. I'm glad lots is being done to try and prevent the spread of coronavirus and I know swine flu wasn't the same thing, but the contrast is interesting. If the European tour gets cancelled I won't be too bothered for myself especially if it's rescheduled....of every GD show I've had tickets to a stadium one with two other bands I don't care about is the one I'd care the least about missing . Still would be sad though, I hope that whatever happens everyone planning to see them on this tour will get to eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Boy Named Booze Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just don't want a refund. I don't care if the tour is in a year. I just want to keep my ticket and see this tour one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just hope Weezer and FOB will be very busy next year and therefore unable to take part in Hella Mega so The Interrupters and Green Day get more time (I may or may not have been thinking about this since September) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 For me it's a no (I feel like I'm in X-Factor) at the moment.

I would be sad to not seeing the guys this year but I would be way more excited to have an arena Green Day tour in 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to keep my ticket and see this tour one day. Me too. Getting field and pit tickets was a stressful pain in the ass I don’t want to have to buy tickets all over again. If I do I will definitely only do one show or I won’t bother at all. 15 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: I just hope Weezer and FOB will be very busy next year and therefore unable to take part in Hella Mega so The Interrupters and Green Day get more time (I may or may not have been thinking about this since September) If Weezer and FOB aren’t in this then my kids won’t want to go with me so I’m torn. I like seeing concerts with my family there are hardly any bands we agree on enough to do that. HM is a something for everyone tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are all in high risk categories because of their age but yeah I agree I think it’s very unlikely we’ll be up and running with 30-50,000 seat events by July and August. At this rate I’m just hoping to be able to see my kids by then who are sheltering in other cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 At this rate, I think I'll have experienced more Green Day shows being canceled/postponed than ones that have just happened normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
