jengd Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 @ANTI we hear a little about Chile, but it feels like we are in such a mess, we don’t have time to worry about others right now which is a dreadful state! I hope things improve and you stay safe. Glad you are finding comfort in Revrad. On a lighter note, I had two blackberries, last one was white, it was very cool and they were great. I still complain about touch screens being rubbish 😂😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted October 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2019 Weird that I’m only now realizing the coincidence that the American Idiot musical was at the St. James Theatre. St. James = St. Jimmy 😲 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have spent the past five minutes having a conversation with someone in Discord written entirely with Green Day references. Best start to the morning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted October 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just realised that this time 10 years ago I was seeing Green Day for the first time. That's insane! There are bits I remember and bits I don't. I remember the build up of the drunk bunny and Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio? Then just being unable to take it in when they ran onstage. I vaguely remember the confusion when the "sacrifice" was unsuccessful and Billie "sacrificing" Jakob instead. I remember the flashing gas mask in The Static Age and before Give Me Novacaine, when Billie announced he was "officially fucking English as of now!" My clearest memory is probably the moment I recognised the intro to At the Library. No one around us knew what was going on or why me and @Rumpelstiltskin2000 were going insane! I can still feel myself wheezing from all the jumping and singing. For a long time I had a perfectly clear memory of 21 Guns and how beautiful the piano bridge was, but that's sort of an echo in my head now. I loved seeing King for a Day. It was magical somehow. Then I didn't expect the band to come back for Last Night on Earth and that was so exciting. I met my fiancee that night, too! We're from opposite sides of the world but that show happened to bring us together. So most of all, I remember the whole thing with this warm, fuzzy feeling around distant images of stage lights that (yes, I'm going to say it) changed my life. Billie "sacrificing" Jakob.

Popular Post jengd Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Gosh, @solongfromthestars made me realise it’s just past my ten year anniversary seeing them for the first time. I was a fan but more casual, had a complete nightmare with tickets but OMG they were fantastic. I couldn’t believe they were actually there, on stage in front of me, I couldn’t seem to get enough! Billie Joe had the shock of blonde hair, shot my son smack in the chest with the water canon (so proud) and they were just fantastic. We had seen many bans by that time and just couldn’t believe how good these guys were, all the usual stuff everyone says, their energy, passion, it was wonderful. Been mad about them ever since. ❤️ 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maryjanewhatsername Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 I will admit - FOAMF and Fire, Ready, Aim are starting to grow on me - they're very catchy. This seems to be more of an experimental album for the boys. Still nervous about the album in its entirety and about the concert. I'm hoping they do play some of their older stuff and RevRad era!! But I'm definitely loving Billie's look for this era (creepiest face I could find, enjoy ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry about the concert is that if Billie keeps getting wackier, it will be a total shitshow in June 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 It's my 10 year anniversary of first seeing Green Day too. Before 21st Century Breakdown was released I remember desperately searching for news about the Tubbies shows. I was really excited for everyone who had got there. The internet wasn't what it is now back then so it was a struggle to find things on places like Photobucket and Myspace. Then when I knew they were going to play 21CB in full at the Fox Theatre I started looking at the $1000 tickets on Ebay! Which of course was completely out of reach. There were no cheap flights then either and I couldn't take time off work or take my daughter out of school. So when I finally saw Green Day in Birmingham on 27 October it was just surreal. It was like I was dreaming - like it wasn't really clear and there was mist over it. When they played Give Me Novacaine I just completely freaked out because it was and still is one of my favourite Green Day songs! It was that and Homecoming that got me into Green Day. At the time I hadn't thought of looking up setlists and didn't expect them to play that at all. Me and my daughter were screaming "Christian's crying in the bathroom" at each other! I distinctly remember the toilet paper gun and Tre doing his "marching" beat in Minority and it being blown up on the screen. My daughter had bought a poster that I ended up holding and I was waving it around all night! That poster with all its creases is still on our wall. They were recording Murder City for greenday.com so we got to hear that as well. Then after the show Tre tweeted about creeping on fans going back to their cars and Billie about people having sex in the hotel. Everything was drenched in sweat. I'd had some new shoes on and danced so hard it ripped my toenails off and gave me blisters! There was blood everywhere too. I had to have bandages on my feet for the next few shows. Sorry if that's TMI! I can't find the other tweet from Billie - my computer just keeps giving up every time I try to go back that far! I don't know that anything can ever really top seeing them live for the first time after seeing them on Bullet in a Bible, because it was so magical. Although the icing on the cake was that we were then at the Halloween show in Manchester a few days later. I was buying merch before Green Day's set when my daughter shouted to me "mum, Prima Donna are playing Stop Drop & Roll!" And I shouted "that's not Kevin, IT'S BILLIE!" We literally ran and I nearly fell down the steps and knocked somebody's beer onto them! Then after all that time looking for news about the Tubbies, I actually got to see them. I never thought I'd ever, ever get to see the Foxboro Hot Tubs. Unreal. Just unreal. 14 hours ago, jengd said: Gosh, @solongfromthestars made me realise it’s just past my ten year anniversary seeing them for the first time.

Popular Post Hermione Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Damn it was also my 10 year anniversary of seeing them the first time on the 23rd. Totally brilliant show and so awesome to meet loads of GDCers that I'm still friends with today. Getting to see Green Day live with my sister was amazing but meeting everyone and the community spirit there made it extra special, I can thank GDC for that Will also be my 10 year anniversary of seeing FBHT on the 1st . I never would have been there if it wasn't for GDC and my Green Day friends (probably wouldn't have even known about it nor had the balls to go to London with no guarantee of a ticket without the encouragement and help of great people). It was the best show I'll ever see and I'll remember it forever. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 I was just thinking about how much I love the song Whatsername. It's probably one of my favorite GD songs and my favorite song on AI and I wish they would play it more. I love the sadness and intensity of it and how it starts and ends so softly. Such a fantastic song! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Armstrong boys have posted photos from up there watching games 🤗 Fair enough not the one he wrote about originally that I am aware of. But, one he knows about now! We went to all 3 Tight Wad hills just to make sure 😂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Today I went to the Green Day youtube channel and found several things I've never seen. Some of the Trilogy Promo spots were pretty cool, as was the behind the scenes of Back in the USA. Revisited "Xmas Time of Year" as well. Maybe we'll get a down and dirty Christmas song this year too?????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
