NothingButYourImagination Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I saw the show in May and went back today to see Billie in it...his voice sounded perfect, the show was so much better the second time around...As a 34 year old man, I will admit tears were in my eyes several times because the performances were so so so beautiful.Best.show.ever. Awww, I love it when the male Green Day fans get emotional at shows. Btw, I love your Blue tattoo! It looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDayisAmazing Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I figured this should be it's own thread. It was announced today that Billie Joe will be joining the musical cast all week to perform as St. Jimmy. Post on GDA http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/802/ And Billie Joe's tweet If I could I would go see it. Billie Joe is an amazing St. Jimmy. The other day in class I actually wrote a story about a guys named Jimmy I used every word that I could think of the reminded me of Green Day and the characters were Gloria, Christian, Maria and so on.

ScreamsInSilence815 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 OMG BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I went back into the city and stood at barrier from 5:30 til about 10:30 with my friend. We met these really nice girls from Maryland and these girls from CT and we made up the front row on the right side of the door. We linked arms once they brought the barriers out because we did not want anyone to get in front of us because we'd been there forever. So, yeah, I like, kinda "met" JGJ!! I felt bad because everyone was like "OMGZ ITZ JOHN!" as he was trying to go into the theatre and they were all hitting him up for autographs and my friend was like "get a pic with her!" and a security guy came out and was like "John, you going in?" and he was like "I need one more pic, then I'm in." so I was the lucky last one!! Yay!! *insert drool/fangirl ness here* :wub: And I passed my love of JGJ on to my friend. She was like "omg he's so cute I love him now!" AND THEN... Saw Tre from three feet away as he was walking in! Totally awesome! Got most of the cast to sign my Playbill from last night, got pic with Michael! Except Stark didn't come out...was he there? And then of course, the amazingness that is Billie Joe. Jake/Joey came out...couldn't tell exactly which one, he shot out of the theatre and into the car...then 80 came out looking beautiful as usual. THEN BILLIE!!! He signed my copy of Nobody Likes You and he looked to exhausted! I felt so bad. Poor guy looked dead on his feet. My friend took a couple good pics with her camera, cuz I was obviously too occupied so I'll post them when I get them. Autograph of Billie... My friend got her shoe signed, lol. So yeah, I had the best night everrr gaiz!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tre was there with his gf, Idk about Mike, I didn't see him. I met Billie twice today, I met tre ( ), John Gallagher Jr, Michael Esper, and Michael Mayer. This has been the best day of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm going crazy right now. I've seen the musical with Billie twice this week, but there's a part of me that wants to try going tomorrow to see his final performance. But I feel like I'm spending too much on the musical lately, I've seen it 4 times in the last few weeks and it's burning a hole in my bank account. I think the only reason why I really want to go is because I have this nagging feeling like it'll be the last opportunity to see him (and Mike or Tre if they show up) in NY for the next few years and that scares me a little. Damn Green Day, they've spoiled New York wayyy too much this year and after the musical is (probably) gone after January that'll be it, until their next album. They've become like crack and all of a sudden they're gonna be taken away right when I need a fix. And to people who haven't seen the musical, I don't want to sound whiny or ungrateful, it's just that Green Day is extremely addictive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCC Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 And to people who haven't seen the musical, I don't want to sound whiny or ungrateful, it's just that Green Day is extremely addictive I don't think you sound whiny at all! I completely understand about GD being addictive...they really are. I live in the middle of the stinking country so I am not a part of the who east v. west coast thing but I know if I did live near NYC, I think I would be consistently broke due to the musical and other various GD appearances.

GDM Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I saw Tre tonight, but I didn't see Mike in the theater. But I was down in front, in row D, seat 27, partial view. Tre was in D, Center Aisle. It was so good to see him at the show, just great! Made it even more special. If Mike was there, that was even awesomer, which isn't a word, lol. Did people really see him tonight? I am not sure he was there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it three times this week, and am planning on going next week to see Josh Kobak. My bank account is so pathetic right now, I'm so not allowed to see this show again for months. lol. And I saw Tre, but I don't think Mike was there; or well, if he was, he wasn't sitting with Tre. I was in standing room and had Tre within my direct line of sight. It was kinda adorable seeing him rock out to the show. lol. And for those of you who were there, what did Billie shout at the end of St. Jimmy, and during Know Your Enemy?! I couldn't make either out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn71 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The show was amazing again. The place was packed there was no getting to the barricade to see any of the cast because a lot of people that didn't even see the show were crowded around the barricade before the show was even close to being over which makes it unfair for the ones that paid to see it (people did it the other night too)It's so aggravating and again I didn't get to see the encore because this time I had a an aisle seat which would have been better to see the encore but Michael Mayer went down the aisle and just as the encore was starting & just stood there blocking my view. This was my second night to see the show and the second time I was unable to see the encore because wheelchair seating sucks because they stick wheelchairs on very back row (it's so unfair) and from way back there if anyone stands up in front of me it blocks my view of the stage. Actually wheelchairs suck in general. In 2 months I will be able to get rid of this damn chair & get my right leg traded in for a prosthetic one and then I will be able to walk again. It's a long process but so very worth it to be able to walk again. Isn't that weird I have to loose a piece of myself to gain a piece of myself back more normal life? Now back to the show. I cried more tonight than last night. The part that is the hardest for me to watch is the part where the nurse has to sponge bath him. I guess the reason it made me cry so badly is that I still have to go through that. It is so humiliating to be a grown ass woman and not be bath my own self without help. It's very hard to keep your dignity intact when you can't do the most basic things for yourself. I realize something tonight that I didn't realize the 1st night I watched it. I realized I didn't just identify with the Soldier I could see me in all three of them. The Soldier part is obvious (me being a medic in the Army & now just a disabled Afghanistan war veteran) I Identify with the drug addicted character. Except I am not addicted to illegal drugs. The military doctors have had me on so much pain medication since my injury that I am almost immune to it's effects but still cannot live without it. Also the character that sit on the couch stayed home watching life pass him by and people come and go out of his life and he can't get himself out of the situation that he is in. I Identify with him because that's how my life feels now. I sit at home as the whole world passes me by. Even a trip like this takes a toll on my body. I have to head back a day early because my leg is retaining so much fluid from sitting in the wheelchair so much and not laying down and keeping my leg up & not putting so much pressure on my back. But my love for Green Day was worth the risk. I am so glad I came because American Idiot is so amazing.It adds another demention to the already masterpiece American Idiot album that you couldn't imagine. You would have to actually see it to know what I mean. What I was hoping for didn't happened tonight like I'd hoped. The hug I have waited to get from Billie. It's nothing even like the tweenie creepy fan-fanatic girls that want to kiss him & more. The hug I want to give him is out of admiration & respect & to thank him from the bottom of my heart. Because with out his words in Green Day's music I really don't think I would have pulled through both physically & mentally from the injuries I had sustained during my 3rd deployment. I remember when I woke up in Germany in the military hospital they asked me if there was anything they could get me to make it more comfortable I said, "yes can get me Green Day music." I said,"get me a cd mp3 or something please" The nurse said to me after that she was referring to something for the pain & I said "yes,so am I." After saying that I got so much Green Day music & other stuff from the staff during my stay. One day the one of the staff at the hospital said to me that it was the weirdest request they have ever received from a patient just waking from a coma. The she asked me what is was that made me ask for that. I told her every since I 1st heard Green Day & seeing them live for the 1st time back in 1991 that when ever I needed help I turned to Green Day. Their lyrics/music has always helped me no matter how I may be feeling. They have songs that make me laugh when I all I feel like doing is crying. They have songs that help me vent my frustrations when I feel like I am going to loose it. They have songs that give inner peace when I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. So I owe a lot to Green Day their music helped me hold it together when everything was so out of control. Actually it is still doing that very same thing for me still. I get to see the show for the last time on Sun. night so I really hope that I am able to meet Billie just long enough to hug him & thank him for all he has helped me through in my life. Especially these past few years they have helped me in such a profound way with their music. Though I am no longer at war overseas I fight a new war here at home. It's a war I am fighting with my own body & Green Day's music is helping me fight and not give up. This is a war I will win or die trying. Even if my hope/wish doesn't happen when I see the AI show for the last time tonight at the Sunday night showing I will still hope that one day I will be able to get that hug and say thank you. It would mean the world to me to be able to do that someday. OMG..sorry...I can't believe I wrote so much. Once I started writing it all just came flooding out. I love my GDC family because you all read what I have to say and are so encouraging and loving Cross your fingers for me that tonight everyone that some way some how my wish will come true at tonight's show before I have to go home Mon. morning. I have to cut my trip short, was going to stay till Tue. but being on this trip with no help has almost pushed my body to it's limits. Wish me luck tonight, cause I'm sure it will be a long while before I am in close proximity to Billie Joe again. Even if it doesn't happen I am so glad I came and saw the show. If you haven't seen this show yet you should find somehow to do it because you are missing out on something that is truly amazing. I flew from Texas all alone & I'm in a wheelchair so if I can manage I am sure a lot of you could too. I promise you will not be disappointed. Wish me luck and I'll shut up now with my wall of text....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts all the petty problems of everyday life most of us face in to perspective. Amazing that despite what you have been through and continue to go through on a daily basis, you are still able to remain positive. I don't even know you, but I feel like I do. This post made me cry, not only because of your pain, but also because of your triumph over adversity. I can understand how Green Day has helped you through. They have provided much of the "soundtrack" for my own life. good times and bad. So glad Green Day's music was always there for you. If for whatever reason, your wish doesn't come true this time. Hang in there. It WILL happen someday. I just know it. Take care and have a fantastic time tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butbutbut... where's Billie's other new tattoo? Apparently the whole band is there tonight. Woo, that's nice I KNOW!!! I was giggling because there was no mistaking who was making those noises, but at the same time I was struck by how much more powerful it made that moment. And the best part is that he came up with that on his own, because after he exited the theatre and drove away, I was walking down the street and I saw Christina talking to some fans. And I overheard her saying something about "...the first night he did that, we didnt know it was him. We thought it was someone in the audience. Then when it happened again, we figured out it was him." Then she laughed and said "Our creator." And I kind of butted in and was like "oh are you talking about right before St. Jimmy? That was so great..." and she confirmed that's what she meant. She's an absolute sweetheart just like everyone else in that cast. Anyway, Billie was fucking FANTASTIC. Omg haha :lol: But, that screaming thing sounds really cool. I talked to Christina after the show as well. She's so sweet and adorable. She signed my playbill. My friend asked her, "So...you kissed Billie? How was it?" and she laughed and said, "It was good...really good. But, you should really ask him that question. His opinion counts more than mine. But, I really hope he says I was good as well." lolololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
