Anaïs. Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I went to like this is as mike as a more 'iconic' voice than billies I'm not sure how Mike's voice can be considered iconic when he doesn't sing lead on any of their famous songs. Billie's voice is the iconic pop-punk snarl/whine, Mike's voice isn't bad but it's definitely not a representative of its field. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykee Mexx Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dude, honestly, no shitting, I was so excited when Fuzz showed me the IHeartRadio performance. Fucking loved him in that moment It´s okay to love Fuzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled to word the point I was trying to make, mike's voice feels more original(?) than billies, I don't know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under any circumstances. Unconditional. I guess this might be a very unpopular opinion, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rationally, even Billie has some bad days, but I'd rather forgive him that than boring me with hey ohs and KFAD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that? Even his hey-ohs are expressions of his divinity. You feel bored by them and KFAD? Are you a fan anyway? I forgive you because we´re in the Unpopular Opinion thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I thought that his hey oh stuff being shit was a popular opinion. I think the consensus in the old thread (holy shit we're 340 deep in this one) was that the hey ohs only grate most of us because we are fans who've listened to far too many live performances. Most people attending shows do not watch youtube videos, attend multiple concerts, etc. A high percentage are casual fans who are more likely to enjoy all of the hooplah that goes along with Billie's performance. We'll see what he does at the HOB, though. It could change. It's been a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't dislike other opinions. I do dislike zombies who refuse to acknowledge that the people and things they like can be flawed in the least. Billie Joe is a shit frontman. This is the thread for unpopular opinions, so I'm not expecting much agreement. I just think it's funny that you don't see anything wrong with three hours of "hey-oh" stupidity. If Miley Cyrus were the person who did that, you'd hate her for it. That's what makes you a zombie. Billie is an an awesome frontman, and the fun he has with the hey-ohs and suchlike adds to that, because that's what it is and what they're there for - having fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what he does at the HOB, though. It could change. It's been a while. Yeah I agree with this. When I go to see them live it doesn't even seem like he does it that much. It certainly isn't in every song, just a few times during the show, and when you're there you're really caught up in the show and it's fun to call them back. I also have to mention that he got the whole hey-oh thing from Freddie Mercury who is regarded by many as the greatest frontman of all time, so they can't be that bad . I find it kind of funny that he started doing it in Dookie times in a much more sarcastic/mocking way but later embraced it as a fun thing to do with the crowd that doesn't need to be meant ironically. Prime example of how he grew into more of a showman. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 He's a great frontman. Most of us have a problem with hey ohs simply because we've already heard too much of them. I doubt public notices or that common people at concerts get irritated too much but if Billie varied his performances a little more or didn't stretch so many songs with endless hey ohs, less of us would be fed up. He has bad days? C´mon! How that? Even his hey-ohs are expressions of his divinity. You feel bored by them and KFAD? Are you a fan anyway? I forgive you because we´re in the Unpopular Opinion thread. Yes I'm a fan. KFAD has just never been my thing though...it's not funny, it's not sexy. It's just long and embarrassing. I don't mind them randomly fooling around, but watching the same set of bad jokes repeated every time is a bore. It's not funny when you can tell what exactly's gonna happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, every show is like a theatre play. It repeats itself. You can´t reinvent yourself that often, I guess (I for myself can´t and don´t do). Not even Lady Gaga or Madonna can do that, though they try hard. You develope a certain style, as long as it works, and stick to it. And if it means changing all the time is your style, than that´s it. But it also becomes predictable then. If I followed Green Day to several concerts in a row I would get bored, too. Had that with other artists. See one show or two, you know the others. Unless you´re really crazy for an artist or a band it gets tiring after a while. That´s why everybody needs a break sometimes. So in a way it´s a good thing that I only get the chance to see them once in a long while. I really can´t imagine GD reinventing themselves fundamentally. Hey-ohs are too much fun (for them) and a guarantee that the audience is with them. And I have heard KFAD and Hey-ohs only once live, so I´m not bored by it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I'll see them (only typing this makes butterflies in my stomach flutter) I won't mind them doing KFAD for 2 hours straight. But I see that it might be really tiring for those who are not so excited and it sometimes spoils videos for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard not to be excited when you're in the crowd surrounded by everyone enjoying themselves. Half the time I barely notice what song they're playing because I'm so caught up in the energy of the show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
