Billie Hoe Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Sometimes I wonder if nobody went along with the "1 2 - 1 2 3 4" for as long as Billie would want everyone to during Hitchin' A Ride, if he'd just sit there and stop playing entirely 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21guns&novacaine Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I was thinking about this the other day, and wondered if anyone else had noticed this. the line “one nation under dog.” From Minority. Well, if you spell dog backwards, it spells 'God'. I don't know if that was Billie's intentions to smuggle a nifty Easter egg in there or not. Even if it wasn't intentional it's still pretty cool.

RedundantIdiot Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm going through a phase where I'm listening to Fashion Victim a lot. It's such a catchy tune that I tap my feet to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the intention, it was a play on the Pledge of Allegiance saying "one nation under God". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People never really get it and just go hoooooooome and stop and he has to keep trying to get them to carry on so the sound doesn't stop and it's a lot of effort. He kept at it for ages in London this year . Leads me to think you're correct about HAR, his commands must be obeyed! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thatsername Posted June 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2017 GD show 4 of 5 this year is over for me, and they kept getting better and better. Can't wait for the London Hyde Park show although it'll be the last one for me and that will make me so sad! The boys are SO on fire right now, it's surreal. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched practically the whole Nova Rock show on youtube and totally get what you mean. All of the Rev Rad tour so far has seemed fun but the last string of shows have been so full of funny and beautiful moments. At the beginning of the tour leg I thought maybe it was an Italy thing as they've said they love Italy and the fans are pretty intense, but they're just really fucking enjoying themselves playing and interacting with fans, and it's so so so cute. It made me realise I'm just so indescribably happy to have 'found' them again when I did last year and to experience this era of GD right now when they're all so happy and perfect 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 No, as I said in the Greenfield Thread, they were on fire at that show too, and I think Billie broke the smiling record of this tour at that show too. They were great in January and February, don't get me wrong, but my god they're fantastic at the moment. I hope they'll record some of it, they're at their best of this tour that's for sure... For me it's only two shows, but with the general atmosphere, feeling, happiness and good view (practically barrier) at the Greenfield gig, I really couldn't be any happier... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! They have to make a live DVD of this tour, it would be a shame not to! And it's so great to see that not only us die-hard fans are blown away by their energy right now. I went to the Nova Rock festival with carsharing with a really nice couple and they had never seen Green Day before, they're usually more into Metal music. Then yesterday on the way back they said that they were still speechless and that GD was the best concert they'd ever seen and that they definitely wanna see them again. Totally made my day, it's always so nice to see the Green Day world growing 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Skids are opening for them and Rancid in Glasgow. Fucking SKIDS. If I had the money I would be up there in a heartbeat, that and Hyde Park are like ultimate dream lineups. If Buzzcocks were on the bill too...

herewegoagain Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Right, I just thought Glasgow was going to be a 'regular' show and not a multi band thing. I'm guessing Hyde Park has filled all the slots. Sorry you're missing out on Skids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Billie Hoe Posted June 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've rarely heard of a line cleverer than “maybe you’re the runner up but the first one to lose the race”...

I would love it if they just swapped JOS for Homecoming, just for one show. Or one day, they might play AI in it's entirety like they did with Dookie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herewegoagain Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Definitely wouldn't mind seeing Homecoming rather than for example Letterbomb or JOS. And damn they look good in that video. I had to revisit an old classic - who said they used to rip through songs in the 90s? My favourite moment is the epic high five at 6.33. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
