AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 i know it's not an actual green day show, but it's going to be fucking weird seeing them at the hall of fame from seats all the way at the back. i haven't been in seats/not at the front of the pit seeing gd since i was like 12 I do wonder what that's going to be like. Instead of being all "d'oh, Billie's right in front of my face!!!" I'm probably going to be silently judging his every move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Nimrod Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I raised the pitch of all of Kerplunk a half step (so I can play along in standard tuning) and I think some of the songs actually sound better. Specifically 2000 LYA and Christie Road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm officially bored with this hiatus. They need to do something. This. Even though I'm somehow content now because I don't have to deal with knowing they're officially shit. Tbh, I dread the moment of pressing play of their new record. I don't really feel like losing all my hope yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I more interested in new live shows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So am I. Since I never saw them live I really hope for a show somewhere near. I didn't mean to judge - I just feel like I don't really wanna know what's next - does that make sense? Like, I don't expect it to be neither great nor crap, but I wouldn't want to hear it at all if I were to be disappoited. I'll probably have someone else to hear it for me first so that Green Day doesn't get spoiled for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a great album - not a masterpiece & I believe billie has a whole list of material ready just waiting for the guys when they are ready.

Hermione Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I was up on the right at the O2 as well!! Wembley and Emirates I was on the right at the first row of seats for, because I'm not sure I could survive a stadium mosh pit. I was at Wembley Stadium too, in the pit. Funnily enough it was the most pleasant pit I've been in at a Green Day show, it was boisterous but everyone was so cheerful, there was no nastiness or people shoving in front of me at all (whereas at the smaller Brixton and Shepherds Bush shows people were more competitive to get a good spot) and everyone just jumped around and squashed against each other without resentment. The camaraderie and extremely nice atmosphere is probably the thing that stood out to me most about that show, the band seemed super happy as well and it was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, that sounds a lot better than I thought it might be. I sort of wanted to be in the pit for that one, but I was with my parents and 1) there's no way they would've let me go down there alone, what with me being 13 at the time, and 2) my mum's really short and wouldn't have been able to see a thing.

You were probably best off up there then, especially for the view of the band and also to be able to see the spectacle of the huge number of people there. A friend of mine was right up in the VIP area and had an amazing time, I think it was one of those shows that was great wherever you were! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of my mum's was up in the VIP area directly above where I was and they said much the same thing - yeah, the view was absolutely fantastic, especially since the only other times I'd seen them were when I was right at the back and could barely see a thing.

Popular Post Mar Posted December 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2014 I rewatched the Behind the Music Remastered I DVRed a couple of weeks ago. Billie said "yknow" 26 times, Mike 22. They've been around each other too much. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
