In my Irish class today, we were discussing our favourite hobbies. After I said mine was music, my teacher asked me who my favourite band is, and when I said Green Day, a tiny smile crept onto her face

This be the feel good thread today Also, something I realized today, I literally - for god knows what reason - expect everyone on GDC to look exactly like their avatars. Which is kind of funny imagining a couple dozen different versions of Billie in a room together. Also explains why Seagull always freaked me out a bit

This is hilarious, but now that you mention it... Perhaps that's why I internally freak out every time someone changes their avatar, it's like they're doing plastic surgery. Oh god. I'm laughing out loud.

What made me very happy and a bit teary at the same time at the GD show yesterday was the fact that there were so many different people: young kids of maybe 12 years, students, families, old people, even old people in their wheelchairs, black, white, brown, whatever: And they all came together to celebrate this great band. It's just what Billie also said on stage, that this is how life is supposed to be, that we should be togehter and celebrate life no matter what kind of shit is happening in the world. In the rows behind me was a mother (maybe about 40 years) with her small son and they were rocking the fuck out of that place. Some rows behind them were two older women, they looked like secretaries with perfectly dressed hair and perfect make-up, but wore Dookie-shirts I could just cry because it makes me so happy: If anyone asks me ever again if Green Day is still relevant or if anyone cares about them anymore, I will proudly say: A band that manages to get together all those people and unite them like a big family of 12,0000 people - yes, a band like this is still fucking relevant.

@MBarenaberlin

Same, but he has been putting out a more coherent message lately. It takes him several tour stops to figure out exactly what he's trying to say, but he's getting there lol. What I really like is when he just talks normal—not using his frontman voice, but just as himself. He speaks much more casually these days, and I adore it. @Jake69 It's all good, we all get sick of Green Day sometimes.

If so, they could make a compilation of the 12 videos of RevRad called Revolution Video (RevVid) and release it. Why not?

We'd probably all buy it

I played Temple Run for the first time in ages yesterday and had Misery playing in the background. I have no idea why, but I thought that the sound of screeching apes fit right in with the song Revolution Video aka RevVid does have a nice ring to it! Kind of like International Superhits and International Supervideos

They've already done 7 lyric videos from Rev Rad so they might as well do the lyric videos for the remaining songs to complete the album. I really want to see a Forever Now lyric video.

Same

Sorry if this is off topic or has been posted already somewhere ( i wasnt sure where to put this) Rachel Ray Had a segment on today's show talking about project chimps and Billie and Adrienne were featured in the video. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/celebs/24352_project_chimps_kat_von_d/ sorry again if this doesn't belong.

Just Billie Nope. It's my favorite Green Day song too, holy shit, I never thought I'd find someone who shares that opinion with me! That is a fake recording made out of other live recordings with added distortion A band

BJ: "This song is from Kerplunk..." Me (thinking): "Yeah, Welcome To Paradise, this is the moment!" BJ: "...And it's called 2000 Light Years Away!" Me:

I can't believe Welcome to Paradise hasn't been on the setlist for the last couple of shows. Hopefully they'll play it at the Dublin show in June!

I like it, especially in Hitchin' A Ride because it's usually funny and teases the audience before the climax of the song. I enjoy him talking on stage and being silly and find them doing extra stuff in the middle of songs entertaining, literally only the high voice that bothers me lol. I don't mind when he gets on a serious rant either as it's cool to see him passionate about stuff, although the Letterbomb "joy" talk doesn't do much for me personally either

your redemption arc

Billie's speech during that one Viva La Gloria is one of my all time favorite Green Day moments. He talks about living in the moment, and Frans Ferdinand playing across the street, etc. Billie starts singing "Hallelujah" and it's the most beautiful thing on the planet. And I just recently fell in love with Leonard Cohen's song by the same name, so I'm thinking that's what the reference was. It gives me the chills.

He only started doing it on this tour. I liked the masturbation routine because it was deliberately and knowingly awkward, doing something taboo with a cheeky wink to tease and challenge the audience. But saying stuff in a high voice is just painfully unfunny . I've seen him doing it during Hitchin A Ride (example at 3:50) and King for a Day during the tour, and he's so into it he even brought it up and demonstrated it (in a toned down voice) during this interview at 9:20. Isn't a big deal or that different from other goofy stuff he's done on stage but I just dislike it
