Why the hell did bja used to jerk off ON STAGE during hitching a ride?

[BRA1N_ST3W]

He doesn't do this anymore but I'd like to know why he did it 😭 So back in the day he used to touch himself on stage during this song, anyone know why? And why has hitching a ride always been considered a sexual song? Maybe I'm just a stupid 12 year old, but I don't see anything sexual about the lyrics 😭 😭 Please tell me, and try not to type out a whole article in the comments. thank you for reading my post!!

 

 

ps, here's a video of the performance if anyone one of you weirdos want to see it.. he always screamed 'SOMEBODY FUCK ME' at the end 💀

There's no need to add a video. We're all aware. 😂

[nowshesgone]

im fairly certain that he's drunk out of his fucking mind (at least for this performance)

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

Like I said in the other thread I heard it was to get the crowd going when it was "dull". Sadly I don't remember which interview 

[stories and songs]

Alcohol and drugs are…one hell of a drug, lol.

[M1KEY]

Entertainment. Next question.

It seems like they've always considered it a sexual song, like they would describe it as a song to move your hips to and at the Goat Island show Billie's like "if this song can't teach you how to fuck I don't know what will" lol. I can't see anything sexual about the lyrics either so maybe it's just the rhythm of it.

He did it for the same reasons he's done all kinds of crazy stuff on stage, because they're a punk band and like to be provocative, because it gets the crowd going and because it's funny. I don't think it's necessarily related to drink/drugs, it was just for show as a planned part of the performance and he's also done some cheeky sexual things on stage while sober.

This. He did it for the entire American Idiot tour (don't recall if he had done in previous tours too), so definitely premeditated. And I have an imprinted image of of Billie lying face down on the stage floor, with his hand down his pants, and moving as if kind of fucking the floor, which lives rent free in my mind, which I think (but could be mistaken) comes from one of their shows I went to during the 21CBD tour 😅 To this day Billie still urges the crowd to "go fucking crazy" during that song when they play it. In their show in Paris last summer this resulted in me getting crushed against the barricade, and losing a few of the people I was with at the show

Ultimately, the answer is this:

I always took it as sort of a political statement, but at any rate, I wish he would bring it back.

Also, why is a 12-year-old on this site? Kinda young for social media....

[Undómiel]

Because why the fuck not?

This is the real answer.

Alright, somebody try it out during sex and see if it works.   Or, admit that you've already tried it and tell us if it was good.  You don't have to say if it lasted shorter than the song or the same length of the song or if you had it on a 10 hour loop or whatever.   Lol.  Just if it set the mood right.  

I'm out of here. 

Haha

I tried. It got weird after I yelled ALRIGHT ENGLAND into her ear. 

[The Grohl]

I've never questioned it. I just...appreciate it

I first experienced this when watching Bullet in a Bible. I got it for Xmas that year. After we opened gifts I raced to my room to watch it. I was SHOOK when we got to HAR. But when Billie started with the moaning I rushed to mute the TV so my mom wouldn't walk in questioning what the hell she just bought for me

When I saw GD in 2016 during the RevRad club tour he did a tamer version. He didn't go full on the floor but there was crotch touching and some "ooos."

There was a video (that I wish I could find again for science 😊) that someone posted on Instagram years ago that was definitely 21CB because Billie had the striped pants on. Anyway, it was filmed from a fan in the front row, he’s lying on his back on the floor, knees up and rubbing his crotch until he full body shudders and I swear it looked like he actually came in his pants. I’ve seen all the fake HAR moaning but this looked real.

He's been creative finding new things to do with it lol. Full on animal noises here

Could be acting but I've heard reports of him literally getting his dick out and wrapping it around the mic stand or jerking it during Dookie times so anything is possible
