Hermione Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah that's bad. I love Kendrick Lamar and he's amazing live but otherwise the line up is pretty dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 There's a few ''alright'' / ''middle-of-the-road'' bands in that line-up like Papa Roach and Sum 41, but on the whole it's admittedly pretty dire. Also, as much as I can respect Kendrick Lamar as musician (though I'm not such a great fan of his music), I don't think this is the type of festival he should be headlining...

jengd Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ok, this confuses me. It’s dated 14 Feb and says it’s about a concert to be played on Thursday, which shouldn’t have happened yet in SF, but it says it looks like Billie from the balcony? Am I missing something or just being dense? https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=https://www.popmatters.com/queens-of-the-stone-age-2534237862.html&ct=ga&cd=CAEYASoTNTMyMzI4NDg3MDMwNzc4MTE3NjIaZjdlM2Y2Y2ZkNjViYzM2Yzpjb206ZW46VVM&usg=AFQjCNEtFSXSqyTEmEztiubBA6cAROCt_w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie is friends with the guys in EODM and the song he guested on Bowie’s Moonage Daydream is the song he lifted lyrics from for the FBHT song Alligator (“I’m an alligator...I’m a space invader”) so this makes total sense. Shame no one got video of it. Nice find. ETA: There are clips of the show on YouTube but none of this that I can find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something about it that doesn't sit right with me. I am by no means an authority, but I don't believe Billie is friends with EODM. I believe he is friends with one of their touring guitarists, Eden Galindo, who used to be Mikes Bass tech. There lead singer, Jesse Hughes, is not Billies type of person. He is a Trump supporter, who has spoke out against muslims who speaks openly about his drug use. It seems odd ot me that Billie would support him. However, he could have been supporting Eden Galindo. It also seems odd to me that no one heard about this, there are no pictures, no video and no posts of someone saying that Billie played with them. I am a bit of a doubting Thomas to begin with so unless I see proof, I am doubting its legitimacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorryRock02 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Here is a video from THAT show...but no Billie onstage ( the only one who could look similar is obviously Eden Galindo ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatsername Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 So I wonder if they will air the same Hyde Park highlights like last time or is there any chance we will get something that hasn't been aired yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It baffles me that they had the nerve to call it ‘Green Day Monday’ when they’ve played a grand total of one GD song so far! One!

Haha, like last time when they announced to play the whole Hyde Park set... and then played like 10 songs of it. Great marketing 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yes, we got: 11 songs (instead of the full set), in the wrong order, annoyingly censored, heavily compressed and often cut short with agonizing interruptions in-between (including unnecessary and badly placed voice-overs and a large ad-break jammed right in the middle). Boy was I fuming at the end of that! At least the band sounded absolutely fantastic. Not the worst selection of songs either, admittedly. But still... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Shhhh, I was away at something (forget now) and poor hubby spent hours making sure he got it all recorded for me - the whole three hour segment as advertised - I am still telling him how good it was! 4 hours ago, tomdsjames said: Boulevard of Broken Dreams has become Green Day's first video on YouTube to cross 200 million views. I had never paid any attention to the numbers before @Redundant_idiot_ started quoting them. I looked last Wednesday and saw that BOBD was at 199, 308. 003 and today it's at more than 97,000 over the 200 mill! Not a bad jump. Am I the only one who's been watching it obsessively to get it over the 200 mill? I was surprised to see that AI has only about 105 mill views so am now moving to it - #needstogetanewjob lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww this is so cute So @MillenniumFan will you be recording the Hyde Park songs tonight? Maybe we have a chance of getting them without the annoying interruptions. Or will they just repeat the whole thing with all the babbling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Recording right now, but tempted to abort, because it’s just the exact same s**** so far... (started with Basket Case, had same transition, voice over and everything). But tbh, what else could we really expect... Also, listening to this makes me want even more that they release a live album / live DVD damnit... EDIT: Ok, the whole thing’s over. Apart from the fact that Youngblood was skipped it’s the exact same thing! Seriously, exactly the same. Same order, same interruptions, same goddamn everything... What a waste of precious time... Uggggggh, I feel about as cynical as Christian in Christians Inferno right now lol God (not that I believe in him) help me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That’s true, especially live! Gotta say, never gets old (though I’m sure I’ve heard some of those songs hundreds of times by now). I still feel the same excitement every time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
