Then she started to sing Wonderwall asking me "is it Boulevard Of Broken Dreams right?". I was like this: Reveal hidden contents It is the final proof those two are awefully similar. 1 minute ago, Libertine Angel said: I love his Letterbomb speeches, I think they're fantastic. I don't have anything against them but I think they do disrupt the flow of the song. I like the message he's trying to get across, though. Even though I'm not much into joying and the way he talks in general. It's the generic frontman talk. However, joying feels nicer than whatever else he says with an f-bomb in every sentence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 2 hours ago, Libertine Angel said: I love his Letterbomb speeches, I think they're fantastic. Billie's speech during that one Viva La Gloria is one of my all time favorite Green Day moments. He talks about living in the moment, and Frans Ferdinand playing across the street, etc. Billie starts singing "Hallelujah" and it's the most beautiful thing on the planet. And I just recently fell in love with Leonard Cohen's song by the same name, so I'm thinking that's what the reference was. It gives me the chills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've been kinda harsh. It's actually not that bad at all. I think that it's just that I kinda got sick of Green Day for a while. I still think it's not unbelievably good but it's pretty decent. your redemption arc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, especially in Hitchin' A Ride because it's usually funny and teases the audience before the climax of the song. I enjoy him talking on stage and being silly and find them doing extra stuff in the middle of songs entertaining, literally only the high voice that bothers me lol. I don't mind when he gets on a serious rant either as it's cool to see him passionate about stuff, although the Letterbomb "joy" talk doesn't do much for me personally either 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I like the Letterbomb one because it is not that long. Kind of like the small added bit in Bang Bang, short and sweet is where it's at. The Hitchin' A Ride break does bring it down a lot, they should just rock the song and move on to include more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thatsername Posted January 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2017 What made me very happy and a bit teary at the same time at the GD show yesterday was the fact that there were so many different people: young kids of maybe 12 years, students, families, old people, even old people in their wheelchairs, black, white, brown, whatever: And they all came together to celebrate this great band. It's just what Billie also said on stage, that this is how life is supposed to be, that we should be togehter and celebrate life no matter what kind of shit is happening in the world. In the rows behind me was a mother (maybe about 40 years) with her small son and they were rocking the fuck out of that place. Some rows behind them were two older women, they looked like secretaries with perfectly dressed hair and perfect make-up, but wore Dookie-shirts I could just cry because it makes me so happy: If anyone asks me ever again if Green Day is still relevant or if anyone cares about them anymore, I will proudly say: A band that manages to get together all those people and unite them like a big family of 12,0000 people - yes, a band like this is still fucking relevant. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It's been almost 2 weeks since I last got drunk. I know that doesn't seem like a long time to some people but I used to drink pretty much every night. I have a handle on things now so I don't need to quit altogether, I'd still like to have some drinks one or two nights a week, and I figured tonight would be a good night to break edge because of this whole shitty president situation. what I'm getting at is that I've had Hitchin A Ride stuck in my head for the last few hours #troubledtimes #offthewagon #hitchinaride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink up my friend for it is fun. Even Jesus turned water into wine. When I go to church, I rarely ever do, I have an option of eating a piece of 'bread' that is the body and blood of Christ (kinda Satanic in a way when ya think about it) or drinking wine and I'm not so religious so I don't understand the wine thing...anyway, I drink the wine. Why the fuck not. Drink as much as you can if you go to a church because those bastards come around with baskets asking for money. Oh boy, I'm getting into a subject in my head about the Vatican that I don't wanna spew out on the forum. I'll just say drink up and watch this video... drink up buddy for it is fun. When ya go on a bender with alcohol, drink water and pop some tylenol to beat a hangover. I don't get hangovers anymore and I drink like a fish. It's crazy because, besides Billie, Mike, and Tre, I'm the most handsome guy on this forum... and that's not even the alcohol talking. I am the most handsome man on this forum. Thank you. It's weird that I'm posting this video because I feel I will reincarnate as Adrienne Armstrong. That's not gay, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I am about to begin a GD hiatus starting from tonight. I've listened to them a lot recently and I feel that I need to stop now before I become sick of listening to them. I can see from my iTunes account that I've listened to Still Breathing 40 times on my IPod, and I've listened to it countless times through the music video and live videos! After tonight, the next time I hear a GD song will be a live performance of KYE two weeks on Sunday! If GD bring out a music video or live video I guess I'll have to watch it in silent mode. I really don't know how I will do this hiatus as I listen to GD almost every day but I'm determined to do this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asik Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sad that Billie Joes voice getting worn out. Just listen to are we the waiting from 2010 and from 2017. I think Billie should hire a vocal trainer. I still love his voice, but it has lost its passion and strength :(((( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
