Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The "goodbye, goodbye" in the end of Billie's song really sounds like the end of the goodbye song from the Sound of Music. Like, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'goodnight goodnight." I thought it was 'goodbye goodbye,' too, until I looked at it again. http://plixi.com/p/48647624 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbie Head Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I always get sad to see these things happening... [talking about the stupid, disrespectful fangirls/teenies] I mean, I get it that they looovvee Billie and all.. I also do, but one thing I feel about him over all is respect... Going after his kids, seriously?? I'm really sorry for them, I would hate it if it happened to me. I am always saying this, but I would hate to be famous or be the son/daughter of a celebrity... Fans like this make me feel really bad. I am VERY glad that Billie is still like the nicest guy to the fans. I personally wouldn't If I was him, I admire him for that =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I thought the new song sounded like an odd mix between Jinx and Good Riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Basket Case Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The first time I saw Spring Awakening at NYU in 1987. It was a production by Anne Bogart set in a space ship. Philip Seymour Hoffman was in it. Some other famous folks now, can't remember who else though. It was weird. I love Anne Bogart. sigh. I didn't realize Philip Seymour Hoffman did musical theater. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamsInSilence815 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah, I was standing near the back against the barrier facing the road just cause and when Billie walked out the people like surged forward and were like screaming. I was like...gah, sometimes I hate to have to share the status of Green Day fan with scaries like that >.< Ugh omg I know! Me and the rest of the girls making up the front row were so fed up with people pushing against us and pushing us into the barriers. We almost couldn't breathe and the barriers were being pushed! My friend was worrying they would fall over and chaos would break out. It's like, seriously, if you're stuck in the back, no one is going to let you through, pushing is going to get you nowhere, so give it up. And then, Friday night, me, Mariann, and Alex were in the back and when Billie came out, all the people in the front were practically screaming at him when he was right in front of them! People were slightly better behaved as far as screaming Saturday night, but jeeze! Talk about obnoxious and rude! How would you like to have people screaming in your face?

GDM Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I didn't realize Philip Seymour Hoffman did musical theater. Cool. The original play of Spring Awakening is not a musical. It's one of those "serious" plays. And the Anne Bogart version at NYU wasn't a musical, if I remember correctly. But it's been years since I saw it, so don't quote me on that. It was banned when it first came out due to its risque nature in the late 1800's. Here's the Wiki entry on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaid ducky Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Well, "Spring Awakening" was originally a German play written about 100 years ago. I'm going to guess that the production that Tanya saw was based off of that and not the musical which really didn't come into fruition until 2001.

ScreamsInSilence815 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Aw, all these stories on this thread are touching me so much. I've been crying all week, man. I feel feel the same way as you. I remember I thanked him for everything he's done for me at the talkbacks and I was stuttering and I was all shaky and he said, "Aw, you're welcome." And just hearing that made everything worth while for me. I mean, my story is minute compared to Dawn's but it just shows how Green Day can just bring us up from the lowest points of our lives and just make everything... worth living again. Ugh...I'm getting all emotional again. I'm stopping now. It's ok! I just had to get out all of my emotional gooeyness in a journal entry on DeviantArt, because I didn't want to clog up the thread with "omg this is why I love Billie sfm..." Now I'm all emotional and I have to go to Philosophy in a bit! Oh great. I'll start arguing why Billie is so great in the middle of a discussion about Plato or something.

GDM Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I didn't realize Philip Seymour Hoffman did musical theater. Cool. Oh, and sorry, it was 84 or 85. Can't remember jackshit these days. and no, i don't think he does musical theater. may have done it before, but he's not a musical theater actor. I think American Basket Case didn't realize that Spring Awakening was a play before it was a musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get it. Screaming at a concert is OK, that doesn't bug me at all (neither the band, 'course)... But in a situation like that, it's something I'll never understand.

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It's 'goodnight goodnight." I thought it was 'goodbye goodbye,' too, until I looked at it again. http://plixi.com/p/48647624 Goodnight, goodbye... doesn't change that it sounds a lot like the Sound of Music, haha.

PanicAttack! Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I dig the little melodi in the beginning of the last curtain call. Since it probably doesn't have an official name, i'm gonna call it by the title "Bullets Over Broadway", that's an amazing line. And it represents the whole musical in a way.

Of Rage and Love Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 just a thought... I wonder if Mike & Tre were in the audience ? Tre was there, idk about Mike though EDIT: on 10.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannamunter Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I do see their point to a degree, (especially if it is distracting and blatently obvious) I think the amount of Green Day fans that have no chance of ever seeing the musical, let alone Billie in the musical, getting to experience just a little bit of what we did makes the video---ing ok in my mind. But then again I think they should have had a professional do it and not have to deal with everyone else taking videos. I am sure they understand they have a mix of Green Day fans and theater fans going to these shows and its gonna happen, (especially with Billie in it) I don't think someone watching a video in Lativa, Germany or Australia (that could never attend the show anyway), is going to affect ticket sales. But thats just my opinion. I hope they can see the good in it too (for the fans that can't attend) instead of just being annoyed because its not the right thing to do. If that makes sense Yeah I agree with this. I live in Sweden and I will probably never see the musical, and especially not with Billie in it. I don't think it's okay to film the entire show but I love to see those videos with Billie in it, that I think is okay. I mean, my story is minute compared to Dawn's but it just shows how Green Day can just bring us up from the lowest points of our lives and just make everything... worth living again. Ugh...I'm getting all emotional again. I'm stopping now. Where can I read about Dawn's story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothed Out Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I thought the added intro to Good Riddance, was really beautiful, he seems really genuinely sad to not be playing St. Jimmy anymore, like it was his one last Curtain Call and was going to make it count. Amazing end to what must have been an amazing week for everyone that went <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
