Random Green Day Thoughts


Fuzz

Recommended Posts

I'd like to present you all with the following amazing Facebook comment from Skids' announcement about them opening in Glasgow:

Quote

Skids play then green day will play there pop posty American shight punk Billy Joel what a wanker

Such eloquence, and clearly from someone supremely knowledgeable.

What the hell is a pop posty punk :lol:  Well they're welcome to pay £60 or whatever it was to see ~30mins of Skids then leave.

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? :lol: My favourite moment is the epic high five at 6.33.

 

They did 19 songs in under an hour that is not a long show at all

You mean 9 in 35 minutes right? I know I know, it's just funny that that song turned into 8 minutes of mudslinging, mic/guitar trashing, mooning, call and response and a kid on stage to top it off :P

I saw that on insta and thought it was badass lol

Yet another random thought: the lift in my Gothenburg hotel was called Otis, no joke.

It was meant to but to me it's funny :lol:

So many escalators and lifts are of the Otis brand. I began to notice it too. 

Even more randomly - I wish I had tried to connect to GD's wifi hotspot when I had the chance on Sunday. It was password protected so I had no chance to actually use it but it would have been saved in my phone and that would be pretty cool haha

But look at BJ, he's perfect! I've never seen the name before so it definitely made me chuckle coming back from the show. And you should've hacked the wifi, I bet the password is either coffee, hey-oh or justthetip.

He is! I still have to chuckle at that model-like pose. I totally should have tried if the password is revrad1234 :P

I mean, they're not all as good as the one you posted but I just like them haha. The one where a belt is thrown on stage and kinkiness ensues (4:20 - 5:15) is always good :lol:

I hate it when people who only know 5 GD songs act like they know more about GD than I do. :mad: Like, they tell you something about GD as if you don't already know it, and I'm just like "mate, I've been stalking closely following this band for almost a year, I think I know what songs their setlist usually contains."  :ermm:

"i give it a cabbage for optimism" :lol: how have i never seen this video?!

What a ridiculous bit they had to do on that stupid show. I feel bad for them, especially having to listen to all that really bad music. The cabbage of optimism quote was cute though.

"Something deep inside" :cool: It's not very searchable, I think I came across it by accident on one of those related videos binges once

Haha, Mike looks a little done but it seems they found it funny more than stupid

I am used to thinking of Green Day as a 3-piece band.  I just found out they have a touring guitarist named Jason White. That makes sense since it would be too much for Billie Joe to handle lead vocals and lead guitar all by himself.   At one time Jason was an active member of the band.  Then a few years ago he demoted himself back to touring guitarist.

Yes he's been a touring member since 1999 and good friends with Billie (and in another band called Pinhead Gunpowder with him) since the early 90s. It wasn't really as formal as promoted/demoted, he just played on their Uno Dos Tre albums and got called an "official" member because of that, and then didn't happen to play on the latest album. 

They have some other touring members as well, Jason Freese on saxophone and piano and Jeff Matika doing extra rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Some call them "The Big Three" :D
