youngreendayvet Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So this question is for anyone who has been to any of the recent shows. The first two times I saw GD the crowd was amazing, and when I was in the pit I was too young/not strong enough to mosh with the big guys. The third time I was looking forward to having another crazy crowd because I can hold my own now, but the crowd was way more tame. I didn't know whether to attribute this to the smaller venue size or if the crowd was getting older. I have pit tix for the next tour, and it's for the venue where I saw the crowd get the rowdiest. What have the crowds been like recently? Because I'm trying to mosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest thing to pit that people did was jumping with their hands up. Or so it seemed to me from the seats. It didn't help that the section closest to the stage was half empty until they let people with regular standing in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivenorth Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I couldn't really find an answer to this in any of the "Green Day on Tour" Forums, so I'm just gonna ask this here: Should I make a sign to try and get on stage to sing Longview/KYE? And what should it say? I'm not sure if it will make a difference in the long run. If anyone's been lucky enough to have shared the stage with Green Day, how did you get Billie Joe's attention? (I'm trying really hard to be in the front, FYI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm trying really hard to be in the front, FYI) I'm not sure who it was, but someone shared on GDC that Billie told him "if you bring a sign, I'm not going to pick you" at one of the shows this year But I think he did bring up people with signs before, so you never know... I personally wouldn't make one and just consider it luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm trying really hard to be in the front, FYI) There's no definite answer, but wearing something fun like a onesie or silly glasses might help and he often goes for people with colourful hair too. He likes flags so you could try taking your state flag. Marki is right that he said "if you have a sign I'm not going to pick you" at one show, I think it was Brussels. I'm sure he has picked people with signs before but I wouldn't take one in case he's having a day when he doesn't like them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Another thing that could help is wearing a band shirt that Billie likes. Maybe Cheap Trick, the Clash, Operation Ivy, y'know? And if you want to play the song, practice it at home first 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have the crowds been like recently? Because I'm trying to mosh. I think it just varies from show to show. By far the rowdiest GD pit I've been in was at a smaller venue (3000 people) in 2012, and the other time I saw them in a smaller venue it was rowdy too so I don't think it's that. I found the show I went to in a bigger venue a couple of weeks ago very lively (where I was in front of the catwalk at least), and definitely filled with plenty of young people, from what I could see the demographics in the queue haven't changed much. I think sometimes it's just bad luck that there's less people into moshing/people are less into the show than usual, as far as I know there's still plenty of liveliness to be found at most shows if you're in the right part of the crowd for it. Haven't actually been right in the pit on this tour though so now I'm curious about it too, for people who have how rowdy was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd because Philly crowds are usually known for violent, nevertheless rowdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
