I started the entry but never finished it, so I didn't write about the gig. Wrote about meeting up with lots of lovely GDCers; Hermione, Tom, Holly, Tasha... but then NOT THE GIG. WHAT THE FUCK PAST BRYONY. I remember it was the absolute most boiling hot show of all time and the crowd was crazy! Most intense show ever.

And this was fun I honestly don't remember the heat, although the pictures suggest I was an utterly sweaty mess afterwards. My most abiding memory was literally being LIKE 30 CM FROM BILLIE JOE *DIES* 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted July 31 Popular Post Share Posted July 31 I definitely remember how bloody hot it was in the Shepherd's Bush Empire But my most enduring memory is of Billie's reaction to us all knowing the lyrics to Stay the Night a month before it was officially released. I also have a very vivid memory of Tre telling us that Billie had laryngitis but not to worry because he was there. And then he played All By Myself and Billie did not have laryngitis. Spoiler I think I wrote a recap of the show at the time so I'll have to find that, although I'm sure I'll think it's embarrassing garbage now because I was 17 then. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undómiel Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I was 10 years old when this was filmed, living in a sleepy town in North Yorkshire. If only I knew that a band that would change my fuckin' life were playing a couple of 100 miles away. Honestly... if I could time travel to any gig it would be this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I’m finding the maga guys on GD fb posts fucking annoying now. I commented and some idiot trump supporter says “oh youre one of those you probably voted for Biden” I told the guy straight up I’m not American (for the second time in the interaction). Even if I was I’m a non conformist so you can’t assume something like that because I corrected you for not properly articulating yourself. All I see now is “Green day are pro establishment” from a bunch of Trump supporters who by nature are legitimately pro establishment. It’s like AI era all over again. Can’t even comment on my favourite band’s posts anymore without getting some negative jab from a redneck that lives in a house made of straw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undómiel Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Told one of them to go fuck themselves yesterday. Doesn't help, but it made me feel better. If ANYONE thinks GD would be pro-T*ump, their comprehension skills are severely lacking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undómiel Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Not sure that's quite the angle I was going for. I'm from the UK and I favour the greens/labour pretty heavily. Don't think that makes me a fucking loser. Makes me a fucking Liberal, but hey, close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stories and songs Posted August 10 Popular Post Share Posted August 10 Just a lil (but long, sorry) musing. Feeling very lucky: Back in 2005, after like 8 months of listening to American Idiot, I decided that Green Day meant a little (a lot) more to me than any band ever had and I wanted to go to their concert. They were on the fourth US leg of their American Idiot tour by that point, and my dad had trouble finding tickets. He finally grabbed some with just a couple weeks to spare. Last fall, I hadn’t had much to do with Green Day in a solid three years. I somehow got word that they were teasing a new single, and I liked what little I heard of it. Three days later, I watched them perform TADIKM live for the first time and announce their tour, and I didn’t even have to think before I decided that I was going to make it happen and see them again, even though I hadn’t ventured to a concert since COVID. I decided they were worth it, and managed to get amazing seats. This past week, the Philly show felt so uncertain due to all the bad weather in the forecast. I was so worried my show would be the one to get canceled, but then in the back of my mind I kept thinking nah, I’m the luckiest when it comes to Green Day. I swear the universe conspires to keep them in my orbit. Anyway, I just got home from the venue that was across the street from where I first saw them nearly 19 years ago. They played a lot of the same songs from the American Idiot tour, but I felt infinitely more moved by them now. 20 years has gone so fast. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beathe. Posted August 10 Popular Post Share Posted August 10 One of my favorite bands (SWS) posted about seeing Green Day on IG. It's so cute when the bands you like are fans of the same bands as you are. ❤️ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie1039 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I’ve been holding off on buying the anniversary releases (insomniac, nimrod, dookie, and now American idiot), especially since I can listen to them on Spotify, but I still want them physically, with the booklets and all. I don’t listen to vinyl all that much but a part of me wants the vinyl packs, but I think I’ll get the cds. I’ll probably get more use out of those. A big splurge is coming. (I’ll get the insomniac vinyl since that’s the only option) Update: I splurged on the cd packs but on Amazon, it’s cheaper! (Except for preordering American idiot. I want the poster, even though my payment didn’t go through because of an error) Also got the dvd “riding in vans with boys” filmed during the pop disaster tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Been listening to this band called Radkey a lot lately. Not sure how I discovered them, but I thought I had seen them perform live with my friend's band or something. Shuffling through this morning and WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM they do a cover of Roshambo by the Network! So now I'm thinking we discussed this on here because if they have a Roshambo cover, there's no way that's a conscience. Have you guys heard this?

Montclare Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Was just updating my Green Day songs I've seen live list, and the Wrigley show added 19 new songs to my existing 39. Make you realize just how big their catalog is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replicas were sold on the 99 Revolutions Tour (might have been just the European leg, I'm not sure) but they were very limited. I couldn't afford it at the time and I've been looking for it since but I've never seen one for sale anywhere. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie1039 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I just read the booklet that comes with the Dookie 30th anniversary pack and it really made me realize how risky of a move it was for Green Day to move to a major label. I hadn’t considered that they could’ve opted to move to a larger independent label that could handle the distribution they needed. That way, most of their fan base/scene probably wouldn’t have abandoned them. Crazy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
