Beerjeezus Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 This song would fit into the Trilogy so well! Seriously, it sounds so much like it, except for the production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I've been a bit bored the last couple of days I've been off work- so I decided to write a music, geography and football (Newcastle United) quiz for Mum and Dad. Upon seeing this quiz, Dad decided to test me on my knowledge of GD songs by playing them straight off YouTube- I got them all right!! BOBD, WMUWSE, 21 Guns, Hitchin a Ride, Redundant, Minority, Warning, and Troubled Times. He was surprised I got the all right, but it was too bloody easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised to see that GD weren't selling programmes at my gig, and they don't seem to have done it at all during the tour. I'm sure that if they'd produced programmes it would have been an interesting read- interviews, pictures, factoids about the tour, posters, etc. I don't know how much it would cost to produce a load of programmes... but at the gig I went to there were massive queues at the merchandise stands, and people were spending a lot of money. I'm pretty sure that if programmes were available people would have bought them- I know I would've, and I'm sure a lot of people here would've. Not many bands seem to sell programmes at shows anymore. My mum has a massive collection of programmes from when she was younger and always wants to keep adding to it, but the only band that I've seen that sold them was McBusted (who were excellent btw). I agree it would be really nice to see some programmes on future tours, especially if they're still only £5 like @jengd said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably my second fav band ever, after GD. I would like to see GD selling programmes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post letsdanceon Posted April 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2017 Two years ago at this time I was seeing a secret Sweet Children show at the "surprise" Green Day show here in Cleveland 😢 I wanna relive it again and again! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post splendidtune Posted April 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was reading the lyrics to Jaded and honestly don't think I had ever considered them, I mean I've heard the song a million times but I'm a drummer so I normally focused on Tre...any way the lyric "Always move forward / Going straight will get you nowhere" struck me as really profound. I love Green Day so much. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been trying to decide on a more modern song that we could add instrumentation to for about a week now, and it literally came down to a coin toss between that and sound of silence. The GD gods looked favorably upon me today i guess. And now i've got about a month to learn it on guitar That's awesome The choir I was in when I was at school did it too (around 2005). When the teacher announced the song I hadn't heard of it, but by the time we were performing it during assembly, I struggled to not sing it the way Billie Joe does, instead of the harmonies we'd be taught On 15/04/2017 at 0:59 PM, Whatsername_123 said: I have a question: have GD ever/never sold programmes at gigs?

I have one that I bought at Wembley Stadium in 2010 - I can't remember what's in it because I haven't looked at it in years but I actually remember being annoyed they didn't choose better photos! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post letsdanceon Posted April 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2017 A friend of mine on fb saw the post I made yesterday about it being the 2-year anniversary of the Sweet Children/Green Day show I was at. Today he posts a picture on the post and says "look who I bumped into at the record store?" Sure enough, a clandestine photo of Billie Joe standing in the lobby of the shop 😂 My friend is a total non-fan, could not care less that he was standing ten feet away. Meanwhile all I could do is laugh at the frustration of trying so hard to "bump into him" for 23 years without much success 😆 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've been watching some nimrod era shows on youtube recently and i really like the way The Grouch sounds live with the fully distorted guitars, I wonder why they decided to go for such a weak guitar sound for that song on the recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done it and I got 79 right! I think that's pretty good for someone who only bought their 1st GD album 14 months ago and is still trying to obtain all the albums. It was mainly the 39/smooth songs and a few brain farts that stopped me getting more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RougeRogue Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 YOU GUYS. I finally saw a band whose stage presence is in the same vein of Green Day's in terms of crowd involvement / participation. It was The Maine and I just got back from their show and a guy got pulled up on stage! The lead singer was totally engaged with the crowd the entire night, start to finish, non-stop. Green Day is the only band I had ever seen do these things to this degree, but The Maine has easily taken a second place, very comparable spot. Wow. Blown away. I was considering writing up a post because I got a great video of some of it but I couldn't think of where something like that would go.

Forever Now is the song that does that for me now especially the last bit because I picture the pyro going along with it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
