pacejunkie punk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I hate that the iHeart performance is still so out there and the unfamiliar watch and judge the band by it. I wish I could slap a huge disclaimer on it. I personally love Reading 2013 he seemed to be having a great time. IMO he sounded really hoarse and out of breath at Pinkpop but I figured it was because it was the first show back after a short break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did he say this (just to narrow down the options)? It could have been Rock Am Ring 2013 (Vocals awfully mixed and Billie wasn't in top form, don't know about the bad drumming know. After listening to the Hyde Park Broadcast I once again know that Tre's drumming is as good as it ever was. Everyone has bad days though...) The other Rock Am Ring recording was poorly mixed, so was the recording at Wiltern... Or it could even be Reading 2013. I know, it's considered almost legendary by most here. But fact is, Billie was very tired on the day and it showed, Tre's drumming also wasn't at it's peak (understandably), he messed up the drum fill-in in Burnout for example... Still, this is all nit-picking as none of the above are really bad... It must have been last year. It's definitely more than a year ago, so I suppose it was a performance from around 2013. Probably Rock am Ring. I love Reading but I acknowledge tha the sound of the Rock am Ring recording was very bad indeed. But as you said, those performances are not BAD, they are just not as good as some other GD-performances. And he's a drummer himself and I think he's of the opinion that Tré's drumming isn't very spectacular and a bit monotonous... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted July 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2017 I was just driving listening to my local alt station play some crap and I said out loud "Please play Green Day it's been forever since you've played them". The second I finished saying it I heard a familiar bass line and went "No way!!!" It was Longview. 😲 If I knew it was that easy to make a request I would have done it before. 😂 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted July 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2017 I don't think it's fair that some fans are using Chester Bennington's death to rehash iHeart and write essays about how Billie was going the same way. I don't mean people who are shaken up thinking that it could have been Billie, I mean posts that are more along the lines of speculation about his condition back then. He's only outright stated he was suicidal once, a very long time ago and even if it's likely he has been since, it's not our place to assume and post about it everywhere. He would have spoken about it publicly if he wanted us to discuss that (and he actually made it clear he didn't want any pity over rehab and that he wanted to move on). Not to mention it's taking the focus off the tragic death that actually happened. Maybe I'm a heartless bitch 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie hasn't said anything about being suicidal but I believe most people weren't talking about his possible suicide but about death in general. It's understandable that people worry about him though. Even though there's no real point in speculation and what-ifs, I see why it came up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's just fear over someone else people care about that "dodged a bullet." However it's expressed, I understand it. When a tragedy happens close by, you think about your loved ones, this is just an extension of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I think lots of us feel this really strongly and while we don't want or mean to dwell on it, something like this just brings it all back.

Someone made a similar comment to Billie's IG post basically feeling ashamed for bitching so much about the Glasgow cancellation when things like this make you realise what's really important. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I did say that I didn't mean people who are shaken by thinking that it could have been Billie. That concern is completely natural, because he means a lot to all of us and the what ifs are upsetting. I just don't think it justifies speculating about his mental health in ways that are more invasive than concerned (the posts I saw were a lot more along the lines of how suicidal and mentally ill he is than "shit he could have died"). edit: whoever found my tumblr to send me this, you suck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted July 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2017 Second this. It's always nice to see people wearing merch of any band I like or acknowledging them in a positive way. Recently a facebook-famous person I follow shared the video of a crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody and so many people commented on how beautiful it was, including a writer I do admire. Definitely felt great On another note, Billie's voice sounds so sweet in Barbara Allen. It's beautiful, really makes you think about how nice voice he actually has. And that fiddle . BA is seriously such a great tune and I've only realized that recently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewegoagain Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Went on a mini road trip with my mum and my brother today. As we started the drive home the car was SUPER HOT so I rolled the back seat window all the way down and my brother put Forever Now on at full volume (sorry mum) and I had the wind in my face as green fields rolled by and it was uh-mazing. Also I just realised it's been a month since I saw them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
