muscles90 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 At 14 seconds this happens - I don't think he forgot but this song is so hard for him to sing live with it been so personal about his troubles with life . What are your opinions ?
unextraordinarygirl Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I think he did temporarily forget the second verse but laughed it off and kept going, so I wouldn't read too much into it. He's forgotten lyrics to other songs before. He has a lot to remember if they are doing a 2-3 hour show. Cut him some slack.
Chin for a Day Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Billie forgetting lyrics is nothing new, it is part of his charm.
Thatsername Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 He also messed up some lyrics to JOS at the show I went to two weeks ago, so I don't think it has something to do with the song. I always enjoy when he (or they) make little mistakes, makes them much more human and mortal Everyone makes mistakes, it's not a big deal.
solongfromthestars Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah, he's messed up lyrics in other songs at a few of the shows I've been to recently. I don't think there's any personal reason for it, it's just that it's easy to make mistakes during a long set. This is the best Billie brainfart ever
nothing_wrong_with_me Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 In Prague he forgot the lyrics to Ordinary World.. It was so cute.
unextraordinarygirl Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Hahaha "Billie Joe did not forget the lyrics to Holiday".
platypus136 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 We all make mistakes. I think it is much more funny than embarrassing.
Hermione Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 What song hasn't he forgotten the lyrics to? He's just forgetful. I could definitely see it being a difficult song to sing as well, but in this case sounds like he just messed it up.
RedundantIdiot Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 The other week when he was introducing Jason White he called him Jason Freese. He then laughed off the mistake blaming it on his age. Shit happens, Billies only human like the rest of us
Ruskaeth Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 yea, he has been doing this forever <3 , and I think its super cute and fun xD
RougeRogue Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 1 - Maybe we should rename this thread the "Best Of Billie Forgetting Lyrics" thread. All these vids are great 2 - Um, Mods?? ^^
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 This is hardly threadworthy He forgets lyrics quite often. It's totally understandable considering how demanding performing is.
Maddie86 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 he sounds exhausted in this video, they should play that song a little earlier in the set!

End Of The World Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I think moments like that (mistakes, unexpected things and so on) are the most relevant part of a show, what makes it funnier and memorable. For example in Milan BJ made a terrible guitar mistake during Ordinary World: after the line "but what we have is more than enough" he played a D instead of a C. It was so fun and cute at the same time and still now it's the part of the show that I mention the most. In other words: "BJ, please keep making mistakes".
Tubbie Head Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I think him forgetting lyrics makes the show special. It's something that's unique and fun to remember ^wow I'm so original hahah
Train27 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I think the way he did it was funny. "Aww fuck..." Haha xD
Clyngedal Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Green Day have released over 200 songs. (Wikipedia says 224, currently). Released that is. Likely they have dozens of recorded but unreleased songs. Billie probably has loads of written songs that have not been recorded, and lest not forget Foxboro Hot Tubs' songs, Pinhead Gunpowder, The Network, etc. etc. etc.... They're doing almost 30 songs a night this tour. I don't know how many pages of lyrics that is. On top of that he has to sing with the right pitch, rhythm and articulation, play guitar (a lot of the newer songs are rather complex, i.e. Forever Now) AND he's constantly entertaing the the crowd. I'd say he's doing a pretty good job, even if he forgets/mixes lines here and there I remember noticing he mixed up something at the Oslo show, but I can't recall which song it was... And I agree with a lot of you - it just makes it more real, more down to earth
Starlight Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Here's another one. He got distracted by the pretty lights.

tresexy101 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 He can get away with it cuz he's so sexy. My friend says. Peace and Love.
Tajana Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 At 2:40min you can see how happy he was.. and then he messed up the lyrics, audience mumbled different lyrics and Billie then said "oops" to Mike
