Hey hey

Hey hey holy mackerel...That's the start of the Cubbies theme song. Nothing to do with Houston. :P

Believe me, I love it too. I don't know why it gave me an instant headache though. Sometimes Green Day just does that too me :P

I started making a list, but then I realized it'd just be easier to list my least favorite tracks from 1039

-Don't Leave Me

-Rest

-The Judge's Daughter

It's hard for me to pick my least favourites, the only one I don't really like is Rest. I suppose perhaps I Want To Be Alone and maybe Dry Ice could be the other two, but I still like them.

DRY ICE?! :shok:

I still really like it, just not quite as much as the rest of 1039 (aside from the others I listed).

Dry Ice has been my favourite on 1039 since I first heard it in 1998, and that's not going to change. Pasalacqua and Road to Acceptance are close second, but...Dry Ice. :wub:

I'm more of a The One I Want person when it comes to romantic early songs. That guitar solo :wub: (and I know people worship the Dry Ice guitar solo but I think The One I Want's beats all)

I don't know why they didn't come to Florida on their trilogy tour, but fuck them. I wanted to see them. It's been 6 years since I saw them and they haven't been back since.

Fuck Green Day. :mad:

They probably would have but since Billie spent a lot of time in rehab and since as a result there wasn't much promotion for the trilogy they played a lot less shows than they originally would've been planning to before those unexpected circumstances happened. Next time they do a proper US tour I'm sure they'll go there.

Ugh I know, I thought of all that. Just kinda sucks because it seemed like they went everywhere else but here.

I think they skipped quite a few places unfortunately, the US tour got cut pretty short. Always good to be in a place that they're very likely to go next time though!

You could still travel if you were really committed. Think of the poor South American or Asian fans that missed out all-together :(

I'm obsessed with meeting the band one day. I have to make it happen one day, whether It's through my career or chance encounter. They say you should never meet your heroes, but quite honestly I wouldn't mind them telling me to fuck off if I approached them because the music means so much to me that a moment of anger couldn't take away how their albums influenced my life in the past. I'm not sure if I would approach them in public because they deserve their privacy, but if one day I can communicate the effect their careers had on me to them I could die happy lol.

So, a box of old Green Day cassettes has been unearthed in the depths of a cupboard, and contains:

1. Teenage Rampage, with the girl on the Kerplunk cover on the box, no tracklist.

2. Paris Theatre, 3rd February 1998

3. Noize Boyz:

  • Maida Vale Studios, London, 11th March 1996
  • Lowlands Festival, Holland, August 27th 1995
  • Letterman Late Show, November 9th '95
  • Music Awards, NYC, 1994
  • Letterman Late Show, 1994 (no specific date)
  • Radio Session, East Orange, August 1st 1994

4. Interview 17/7/02 (doesn't say where from), Live T In The Park

5. Radio 1 2000-2001

Any of that noteworthy?

:ga: Florida Fans ftw

yeah I dont know either, it appears that most bands worth mentioning are avoiding us! I think the last time they came here was for the Breakdown tour, and I wasn't even allowed to go :mad:

No. Not sure about the interview though. Are any of them besides Teenage Rampage and Noize Boyz pressed bootlegs, or just recorded tapes? i'd buy some if you wanted to get them off your hands :D

I also wonder how I would ever react if I saw them in person...

When I saw New Found Glory in Columbus this past year at a free festival, they stayed after to talk to fans and I walked up to meet them. They're one of my favorite bands. Obviously they haven't impacted me as much as Green Day, but they're still in my top five favorite artists ever. But when I saw them, I instantly froze, and my husband literally had to push me up to them and ask my two favorites for a picture... otherwise I would've completely blown it. When they put their arms around my shoulders I literally thought my brain was going to explode. :lol:

So yeah, 95 percent convinced I wouldn't be able to handle meeting Green Day in person because they've impacted my life SO much. I know I wouldn't be able to speak.

I've legitimately contemplated writing a thank you letter to them, so if by chance I meet them during the induction ceremony weekend in Cleveland, I can just hand them that and just walk away and have a proper meltdown in private.

That is an awesome story. Glad to know someone else feels the way I do haha. Is it likely you'll meet them if you go to the ceremony?

Honestly I have no idea. I live an hour outside of Cleveland so I plan to do some borderline stalking since I won't have any travel time to worry about. I plan on getting there Friday and wandering around the city a bit, since I'll have a hotel there that night. If I see them, great. If not, I'll live. I have a ticket to the ceremony, so that's already more than I ever dreamed of getting! :)

My husband and I each got a $150 ticket, so $300 total. I was prepared to shell out $600, if need be, but he luckily ended up snagging the pair of $150 tickets over the phone.

That's actually pretty cheap
