mao Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 https://news.trenddetail.com/euro/131163.html "Fan who took the stage at Green Day says the band saved her from depression: ‘Their music motivated me’ | Rock in Rio 2022" There is an interview with a woman who went on stage at KYE. She was also the one who delivered the Brazilian flag to Billie. “I like the political side of Green Day and punk in general, so I took the Brazilian flag and wrote ‘No racism, no fascism, no sexism’. There was a moment in the show where my friends and I were waving her and Billie asked. And he put on a show." https://g1.globo.com/pop-arte/musica/rock-in-rio/2022/noticia/2022/09/10/fa-que-subiu-ao-palco-do-green-day-diz-que-banda-a-salvou-de-depressao-musica-deles-me-motivava.ghtml?utm_source=share-universal&utm_medium=share-bar-app&utm_campaign=materias The original article in Portuguese. There is a picture of the flag. A reply to this tweet points out that the TV station did not want to show the words on the flag. I was wondering so I edited the video of that scene and posted it on my tumblr. Thanks for sharing, @redline punk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Did anyone think it was odd when at the end of Knowledge Billie went straight into the next song without interacting with the girl who played guitar? Usually he asks their name and tells them they get to keep it or something. It was like he ignored her and just started singing and a roadie took her off. I doubt there was any reason for it but it just seemed unusual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 That’s a little weird. He always makes a show out of giving away the guitar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I don't really get why they're still playing Know Your Enemy tbh. I get that it was a pretty successful single off of 21CB and it's the only track off the album they play (apart from 21 Guns which they only started playing for Hella Mega & will probably stop playing it for 1972 tour) but is anyone actually going to a Green Day show specifically hoping to hear Know Your Enemy? Why not play literally any other song from the album (which are all just better songs) instead? Imagine if they started playing the title track or East Jesus Nowhere again. Or just any of the non-singles from the album I guess the reason why Billie specifically would want to play that track over the rest of 21CB is because of how rough that time was for him and the other tracks probably remind him of how hard it was to create that album. KYE in comparison to most of the other songs probably didn't take as much time or effort to write. I still enjoy KYE quite a lot, more than most people I think. I think it does add something different to the album that you don't see from the other tracks but it's definitely one of the lesser tracks on the album imo and I think being played 398 times (according to setlist.fm) is more than enough 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol Oliveira Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 EJN is a better song from 21CB that used to have fans on stage and is an absolute killer live. But ocasional fans don't know it. But to be honest, I just think Billie loves this song and wants to play it and that's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post That Dude Posted September 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2022 15 hours ago, redline punk said: You know what? I came up in here to complain about the setlist, but instead ended up watching most of the concert because Green Day are absolutely the best live band on the planet. In this footage, it's clear that the band is a bit roady-weary but still giving it all they've got. As I sit here (a bit drunkenly I might add) thinking about life, love and choices...I think Green Day are in a bittersweet twilight. They feel good, but they also feel just a tiny bit of pressure from the fact that they aren't on top anymore. Like the wrong haircut or outfit might lead to empty seats one day. So they keep playing the big smash hits, because what else can they do really? What can any of us do? Am I okay? I promise, man. Ask MCR. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two negative critics I've seen so far about this edition of Rock in Rio: Axl Rose and Billy Idol. One critic said Billy's voice were in ruins. And then the critics say that they shouldn't let decadent artists on the main stage because their show isn't so good. On the other hand, Iron Maiden was still praised this year. I hope Green Day leans towards Iron Maiden's path instead of Axl's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
