Cabot_GRRL Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 What is the most embarrassing or cringe worthy thing you've done because of Green Day. This can be meeting the band, going to their show, social media or etc. 💚 I'll start with this one...When I was a young teen I wrote a fan letter to Green Day about how much I loved them and if they were ever in my town they were welcome to stop by. It was filled with my confessional love for the band. This was way before social media in the 90's. I was such a little fan girl writing letters to all of the celebs I loved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac1984 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 When I was 17, I went to visit my uncle, my aunt and my cousins. At that time, it was summer, to be more specific first days of January (I'm from Chile, just in case). My cousins were younger than me, and they used to like to go to the beach. So, we went to a beach called "Centinella", in a southern city from Chile called "Puerto Octay". I remember at that age I hated going to the beach, so I asked to my uncle to stay in his car in the parking lot, just to listen to some music. Well, my uncle had no problem to my request and I recorded Nimrod from my CD to a cassette in order to play the tape in the car radio. So, I was alone in the car, I started to listen to Nimrod and I "played the drums", sat in the driver's seat. At the moment I was listening, or I mean "playing the drums", Haushinka... I saw an old man who was the guard of the parking lot, LAUGHING how I was "playing the drums" inside my uncle's car. I felt so embarrased!! 😅🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pcj Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 I'm still embarrassed to admit something that happened back in '94. In Feb' that year I got my hands on Dookie full of excitement. My first question though was, wtf's a Dookie? My only defence was back then in Liverpool, well everywhere really, there's no internet, social media, Google, nothing. In April the awesome Offspring album Smash came out. My first question was, wtf's a dweeb? Thought it was a cool word so started calling everyone a dweeb. Fortunately, a soon found out what Dookie means. If I'd started calling everyone a Dookie I would have been in erm, erm, deep shit. Which I was when everyone found out what a dweeb meant. 😁 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 There are many, but I think the pinnacle of my embarrassing Green Day moments is when I got onstage, went the wrong way, fell over and looked like a zombie crawling out of a grave when I got up. But it was also my best Green Day moment so it's a happily embarrassing one Spoiler 3 hours ago, pcj said: I'm still embarrassed to admit something that happened back in '94.

I also thought Minnesota was some kind of twirling technique (we weren't taught anything about the modern US in British schools then) and "Minnesota Girl" meant Adrienne was really into twirling. I can at least blame that on lack of internet access. We won't talk about what a lot of fans thought "holds my malachite so tight" meant. 3 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I burst out laughing at this, just reading that zombie description and then seeing the photo of you on the floor and Billie just watching has me cackling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nopride84 Posted March 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2023 One time back in the day I killed my parents chopped them Up and gave the bones to the pit bull next door. I made it all the way to the show just to be arrested back stage before the band went on. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear people laughing on the videos Billie was either too nice or too confused to laugh. Probably confused tbh. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyEmerald Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 The day that I admitted to having a nightmare involving a member of the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Benjamin Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Mine is easy. First time I sang Longview on stage. Whale flopped up there, ass hanging out, and Billie thought I was a girl. Total shitshow. It went much better in 2017 when I did it again. Edit: also haven’t missed a day of wearing a belt since! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I'm sure there's something worse I'm not remembering but (and I don't know if this counts) I do remember at the end of the Green Day show at Emirates screaming at the top of my lungs "I love you Green Day!" as they left the stage. Seems kind of embarrassing now! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
