Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 -sorry, random- Was listening to the radio (lotag was playing ) and the dj said, since AI is so successful, that basically Billie Joe has been asked/offered to write songs for another musical if he would be interested in doing so. He put a pole (Lol) on the website asking if that would be something you would want to listen to. I had to think about this for a sec.. and then decided that Billie is an amazing songwriter... and anything he would write would definitely have his stamp on it one way or another. From the way you wrote that, it sounds like Billie has already been asked to write that. Is that actually what he said or is that just me reading it wrong? But I would definitely want to listen to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I think I've already heard him say somewhere that he was either asked or is thinking about it. I'm pretty sure he's going to write another one specifically for the theater. This time, he can actually be up for original musical book. But of course, it won't be for a while if it materializes in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I must say, they've set a VERY high bar for themselves if they were to create a second piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyDo666 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Lovely... (I love your interpretation) BTW, totally random on this thread but the Lakers/Celtics game has Holiday instrumental between commercials. Green Day is becoming ubiquitous. Aw shuckins, I'm glad someone liked my interpretation... ESPN loves Green Day, they were playing HAH during March Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmd Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I know he was already thinking about it, I was wondering if that radio thing meant it was confirmed he's actually asked the DJ said that he was asked, but then backtracked and didnt give any details.. I'm thinking though if he were to do it, it wouldn't be for awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontDoSadness Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I saw the show on opening week (April 24th to be exact). It was fantastic! I know some of the reviewers expressed that they thought there wasn't enough of a plot, but I disagree. It's one of those shows that the more it progresses, the more you get into it. All of the actors had so much energy and put on a great show, but I especially enjoyed the performances of John Gallagher Jr., who has the best facial expressions, and Tony Vincent. I loved the strange alter-ego relationship between their characters. John was definitely the perfect leading man. I remember when I found out that he was the main character... that was the moment that I knew I HAD to see the show. I've been a fan of his for years. He brought the very little bit of dialogue there was in the show to life. Also, there's something about his voice that's so emotional... I don't know how to describe it. I was hoping to meet him at the stage door but he posted on his blog that he wasn't going to do that due to the physical demand of the show. Oh well, I'm just going to send him my playbill so he can sign it So even though I didn't get to meet John at the stage door, I was able to get most of the cast to sign my playbill. They were all so generous, especially Tony Vincent, who I got an awesome picture with He really needs to be featured more in the televised performances they give because he has such an amazing voice. Overall, I just wish the show was longer because I enjoyed it so much. Oh - and on a random side note - Billie Joe was there in the audience! He was sitting a few rows behind me and off to the side. I guess he just can't get enough of the show! He escaped pretty quickly though, so I didn't really have a chance to attack him xD Picture with Tony Vincent: Creeper pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to state it unless I was wrong xD The picture's not actually cropped right there but I wanted to make it smaller for the forum. It even looks more like him in the full picture. So I guess it is him xD His whole row left together (half of them were body guards) so I guess that proves it.

You're probably right. I just always thought it was because he's not in enough group numbers. But I am much more content with your reasoning.

Brina93 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I saw the musical on April 19th and i just remember as soon as the curtain went up I could not stop smiling, my cheeks started to hurt lol. I kept thinking, "Wow, I witnessing something that's bigger than just a Broadway show." I was so proud to be a Green Day fan at that moment. The show was obviously spectacular and I am so thankful to actually have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaid ducky Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Just a heads up. John's featured in an article in NYLON Guys magazine. It's a one page deal, but the article is great and there's this lovely picture involved. Here's a little snippet of the article: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
