I'm pissed that most of the bands I've seen in recent years have been in the winter months as I go into the venue in a coat as its freezing outside but then the coat is in my way during the gig. I'm already thinking about where GD will play in the UK- hopefully it'll be Leeds arena again As a Canadian I understand this 1000% I saw Green Day in March once but I had a section 100 seat so I could atleast hang the jacket on the chair. I feel bad for those on the floor that have to carry it all night long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like always I'm in front of the arena at 7AM with my winter jacket. 30 minutes before the doors open I put my jacket in my car and I freeze the rest of the time ahah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Going anywhere in winter sucks. Wtf am I supposed to do with my jacket? At most shows it's possible to put it away somewhere but then someone will pour beer on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the floor before but it was a will call. I showed up in town about an hour prior to the show lined up and ended up first row anyways.

So the more you came early, better are your chances of being 1st row. And I don't want to have a winter coat on me during the show 😂 I think I only saw one Green Day show when I wasn't in the first row. It was in Montreal or New-York can't remember.

maryjanewhatsername Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I would agree it's closer than we are thinking, but not as soon as we want. I think at the earliest we will get a late October or early November release, with a single maybe 2 or 3 weeks before. But that's at the earliest and just merely a guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted May 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2019 I just noticed that in the bio section for GD on Spotify (where it usually has these long narratives about the band) all it says is “God’s favorite band 🙏” 😂 That about sums it up. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjanewhatsername Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Been thinking about it, but has anyone noticed that Green Day and Nirvana use very similar power chords in their music? Why is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 They were fans of Nirvana and thus were quite influenced by them. Nirvana and many other bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 There's only so many power chords. Likely there is some influence, but imo most of the resemblance comes from the fact that both bands are melodic punk and that's a style built on power chord riffs and not much else as far as harmony is involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? There's only so many power chords and basically any punk or grunge band are using these chords. I actually see more similarities between Green Day and Bad Religion than I do with Nirvana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm 99,9% sure I've already posted this exact thought a while back but it deserves to be said again: Peacemaker is such a JAM.

Slave To The Network Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I listened to Last Night On Earth again recently and I've always liked it; it's a beautiful song, but it makes me laugh too. During the part where Billie sings "My beating heart belongs to you" I always imagine him actually pulling his heart out of his chest while it's still beating and offering it up like "Here, you can have this." and it would just be like "Um... that's okay... you can keep it. 😕" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm gonna be soooo afraid how She will sound during next tour. It was already rough to listen in RevRad Tour and I just don't wanna accept that the boys are gonna be 50 soon and probably not capable of playing fast and singing high anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MillenniumFan Posted May 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think I'll have to disagree with you there @MiksuSH. While I have argued in the past that Billie's voice has worsened quite considerably in terms of tone since the 21CB tour, I think it's less down to age per se and more down to lack of adaptive technic. He isn't taking care of it as much as he should and not stimulating the vocal chords to counteract some of the effects of ageing and the prior drugs/drinking. He also might well have got used to singing a certain way, when drunk or on drugs, but then not adapted his technic, now that he's sober and older. However, despite a difference in tone and slight pitch-problems, he is still more than capable of singing his songs and is one of the best sounding and consistent front-men of his age group, to this day. As to them not being able to play fast songs anymore, I strongly disagree with you on that one. Tre certainly looked a little tired and exhausted on the last tour, most probably a combination of ageing and lack of exercise, but he played the songs flawlessly. In fact, he's more consistent with his tempo now than ever. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I know, I'm just a fanboy who absolutely loved their form in 21CB Tour. Ageing sucks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 As someone the wrong side of 45, I wondered if given the gap since their last major tour, they were actually a little bit surprised by how much harder those intervening years had made it for them, sorry but it is part of the deal. I hope they prepare better, if that's what is was, just to make life easier on themselves. I think they will always give 100% every performance, but I hated to see Billie needing to use that inhaler. I still think he sounded great when I saw them, they all were excellent as ever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me. I don't care if Billie loses a little bit of his voice. I just want them to give their best every night. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
