Ive been on a GD listening hiatus but not today - they have a really good  back catalogue.:ga:

I tend to listen to their earlier live albums whenever I'm tired of the studio albums.

I've been on a GD hiatus too. Been listening to Christmas music on the radio instead. Once Christmas is over it's back to GD again.

I wonder if Billie gets as annoyed as us fans about people spelling his name "Billy". :lol: 

I don't think so. IMO he's like "ok, you can call me Billy, the important thing is that you sing this fucking song!"

I got so used to people fucking up my name that I don't even correct them or hardly notice when they do. I don't think many people with often misspelled or mispronounced names are too bothered - explaining your weird name gets boring after first couple hundred times and so does answering questions like "where did your parents find it?" or "What language is it from?". You end up having a long-ass, awkward conversation about your name and family. And in the end people go "so it is X" and say/spell it totally wrong again.

The best thing he can do is to get used to the fact that people are too dumb for his name. :)

No GD hiatus for me. Every time my Dad comes into my room when I'm listening to my IPad he says "Green Day, again". And every time I'm listening to GD! I guess I need to know the lyrics for when I see them live- that's my excuse for listening to them a lot recently..

Maybe I've already said it a couple of times on this forum: from Christmas to the 14th of January (concert) GD is forbidden for my ears. I think I'm going to bury my iPad underground during those days. I will suffer, I know. But at least I'll do it for a great cause. :lol:

I'm not doing it on purpose but no Green Day is planned until Jan 1st. That's when I watch AAF. 

Watching HLAHG made me think I must have overplayed AI more than I knew. It was boring. I don't listen to them often anyway - except for revrad.

It is religion for me to rock a band I have tickets for right up to the show, then I stop a bit afterwards to keep the sounds of the live show echoing throughout my brain for the next few days! Especially when it is one of my favorite bands. I will be rocking GD all the way up to March, driving the girlfriend nuts. After that it'll be a lot of Obituary and Kreator for a show in April, then a lot of Guns N' Roses up to August. Unless GD announces Toronto between now and then, probably will when my funds are gasping for air.

I'm still undecided about beginning a hiatus about a week or two before the gig. But I've still got another 7 weeks until I see them, so it's still a bit too soon to be thinking about a hiatus. Also, I was on holiday when Rev Rad came out and I was unable to buy the CD until after I came home- therefore I've not listened to it as much as everyone else here.... yet :lol:. One thing I definitely won't be doing before the gig is looking at the setlists from the previous gigs as it would be nice to have surprises at my gig.

I'm not doing a Green Day hiatus... I only really listen to RevRad lately, but right before the show I'm planning to go through the whole discography :D 

That sounds like you're revising before an exam :P

I know this is so random, but just now I noticed that the end of the guitar solo of Before the Lobotomy is EXACTLY like the one of Oh Love. I feel so bad for never  listening to BTL... I always skip it on 21CB. Maybe the last time i listened to it was like three years ago. That's why I discovered this thing only now. :lol:

Welcome to the Green Day exam. The exam "of your life". There is only a rule: make the best of this test and don't ask why. If you get stuck with a question remember: "It's not a question but a lesson learned in time". Because it's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you have the time of your life.

Don't worry I'll do very well in that exam, because I perfected the science of the idiot :P Just an excuse to use one of my favorite lyrics ever

I do the same with my name! :lol: But when I omit the last letter, what remains is Jan and that's a very common male name. Once a teacher messed up my test with my schoolmate's because of that and it irritates my friends too "why do you sign like a guy????". I'm too lazy to write all 4 characters :P actually, I can't anymore. I'd have to put a lot of effort into writing it all.

I have to sign a lot of papers at work. It probably looks like a child has signed all of it. :P  Imagine all the stuff Billie Joe has to sign. No wonder his signature is off.
