I get to see that stuff on video which is cool and everything, but not quite the same experience. I just hope the guys stick around for some time so I can experience them live more in the future because they are amazing. Oh..don't worry hon...I am over *cough!40!*something!* and I am starting to experience GD fandom right now. And I didn't see most of their early stuff either but I am re-visited right now.

The FBHT shows just appear so elusive (they didn't do that many right?) and not gonna lie, excessive physical contact is pretty high up on my list for sure Anyway did they actually play on the same night of the GD show? That's pretty impressive. Yeah! They did a full on 21st CB arena show then drove across town for a 1am-3am FBHT show (and previous to that FBHT shows had only been like an hour or less with no repeating songs or anything so we were expecting something much shorter). So it was almost 5 hours on stage altogether, I don't know how they did it!

It is cool, Some one like #ceiktoe started out young and rebel but for me, I never rebel and I didn't get to know GD until 14. i lead a boring and decent childhood. I def think there is a lot to be said for 'boring and decent'! I was smoking by 11, drinking almost daily by 13, and was kicked out of school for drugs then ran away by 15. I mean it when I say I almost drove my mum off the edge completely, poor woman. Thing is they were pretty responsible parents for the most part. We never ate junk food so that counts for something right?! Thankfully I waited until 20 to get pregnant, which made me quit smoking. I'd stopped drinking and drugs by 18 because of health issues and feeling like I needed some control! I own a house now in a nice place and have a job and two fairly normal kids (as normal as six and two year old GD fans can be ) and I get on really well with my parents and we try not to talk about my past. I will however approach things differently with my own kids, I was self medicating for major mental health issues (OCD) and was told to sweep it under the rug by my mum. I will def be more open and on the same level as my kids I think there's a lot to be said for having a friendship with your kids as well as a parental relationship. anywaaay I went way off topic so back to cool GD anecdotes I was at the barrier for Leeds Fest 2004 (after standing through 50 Cent ) and ended up being dragged over the barrier under Mike and he stood right over where I was coming over and I'm 99% sure he winked at me. I was going totally nuts (broke a rib at that gig, and got a bust nose in the pit to Hitchin a Ride )

Oh I don't smoke now. I quit when I found out I was pregnant with my eldest. It was so hard but totally necessary. I've had several family deaths from smoking and there's bound to be a few more (grandparents) and it totally sucks. I'm sorry about your grandma <3

I too am a backing singer on AAF, never thought of it before but am sure I can hear myself screaming at one point lol

Sometimes I remember my teen years like a different life - I don't see a single person or friend that I did back then. It's so funny how life changes. Thankfully I have a great husband who straightened me out

I totally understand where you're coming from and I am really sorry for your Grandmother. Being a smoker since the age of 14 and I am about to turn 19 I know it is horrible and I have tried to quit but it is extremely hard with the stress of school and other shit. I will eventually do it, but I certainly have to be in the right frame of mind to do it or it isn't going to work.
letsdanceon Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 My cousin Beth and friend Andrew were with me to see Green Day on the Nimrod tour at a historic old theater in downtown Cleveland. After the show we were waiting around in the lobby, hoping we would catch a glimpse of the band leaving for the night. The legendary rock music journalist Jane Scott, who wrote for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, came out of the venue and asked what we were still doing there. When we admitted we were waiting for the band, she suggested we go out back where the tour buses were parked and we were like " Duh! Why hadn't we thought of that before?!" So we ran out to the back lot just in time to see the band exit the venue. All that separated us was a chainlink fence. My real dream (then and now, all these years later!) was to get a photo with them, but because of the fence I had to settle for an autograph and I pushed a small notebook that I had been using to write down the show's set list between the chainlink. Mike wasn't around, but Tre and Billie Joe both signed it for me. Andrew had gone running off, but as Beth and I stood there the door to the theater opened again and out walked Adrienne, carrying little baby Joey in her arms he was wearing a little jester hat and I thought about taking a photo with the disposable camera I had snuck into the venue in my bra, but then I decided it felt too intrusive and I just stood there taking it all in. Not long after, Andrew came running back out of breath, telling me that he found a spot where the chainlink fence ended and he was able to walk up to the buses and shake Billie Joe's hand. It was the first of many times that I juuuuuust missed fulfilling my dream of getting to say thank you face to face and snap a quick photo together. I always think of seeing Adrienne and baby Joey leaving that night, and how sweet it was that they always wanted their families on tour with them.

That bra must be big lol Sorry though just too pervy! That's my dream to meet GD,

Do something else. Chew gum. Fuck even vaporize or do heroine so at least your death won't be slow and painful. Nothing is worse. I'm now gonna be one of those annoying people that smoker's hate. I'm definitely not gonna hate someone who advocates quitting smoking because they are right, but being on the smoking end of it there is a lot more to it then just saying "Just Quit" and pick up another thing to do. I don't even smoke that much and the Nicotine is very addicting. I can only imagine how much of a hold it has on someone that has been smoking much longer than I have and much more per day. Also I definitely wouldn't tell anyone to pick up another unhealthy habit like Heroin or Cocaine which is just another unhealthy addiction. Even though I believe you were joking around when you said that. As for Gum Chewing I have tried that and I have also Water Vaped and both did not work because of the Nicotine addiction I unfortunately have. Like I said I will overcome this at some point, but it has to be when I am ready because without the mindset in the right place no technique is going to work. I will get it done at a point in my life when I feel it is right not when others tell me too.
Hermione Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 If you guys want to carry on your conversation about smoking you're free to via PM but can we stay on topic here please.

Getting back on topic. At the GD concert I attended one really cool thing I remember from the night other than the music and show itself was being out among all the fans having a great time. One thing that stuck out to me was there was a Mosh Pit going on a short distance away from where I was standing and I am very petite and skinny so I was very scared to enter but really wanted to do it even if it was just for a few seconds. So I inched my way over with a Guy Friend of mine and just stood there looking scared out of my mind and between songs this big guy who was Moshing asked me if I wanted to get in. I said yes, but I was scared. He then went into the middle of the Mosh area and shouted to all the people to take it easy for a few seconds to let me have a few seconds in the Pit. So the next song came on and it was "Holiday" and the guy led me out and all the rest joined in but held back quite a bit for about 1 minute and then I got got out no problem. It was a wonderful gesture by that guy who I had no clue who he was as well as the 20 something others who were moshing. Something that made my night and I will never forget.
BucksCoEric Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 My first green day show was in brooklyn in march, my friend and i took the train from jersey into penn station. Once we got off we hear about 20 feet away from us some big muscley guy yell out HEY!! WHY'D YOU TAKE MY PICTURE??? WHY'D YOU TAKE MY PICTURE BITCH??!!? And then we hear a tall lanky guy with a high voice blurt out SOMEONE CALL SECURITY. And then my friend was like i think we should leave and i was like yeah but I kinda wanna see what happens. And she was like yeah i kinda do too hahathough nothing really happened after that and we left.

St. Jonny Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 When I met Tre on the AI tour I asked him why they didn't play Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? He replied "you missed sound check buddy" in a high voice and was kind of looking off into the night.
