Green Day

[Kali Fallon]

The first time I ever heard a Green Day song was on a friend's website. It was Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I fell in love with the band after that song. I bought American Idiot last May. Now I have four of their cds. My parents are assholes and wouldn't let me go to their concert.

I haven't seen them live yet but my friend (who also posts on here) is the person who requests Christie Road at Astoria 98. And I am so happy about that.

Ok... my story is a little weird.

I've been a fan of their music since Dookie came out, but I didn't know about their band until after American Idiot came out. I used to sing along with songs like When I Come Around, Warning, Time of Life, etc... but I didn't know who sang those songs. And Brain Stew was my favorite song when I was in 8th grade, despite the fact that I had no clue who sang it or what the name of the song was. I HATE it when radio stations don't tell you what they're playing!

I went to their concert April 19, 2005. I was completely blown away by the fact that there were so many songs they played that I knew, yet I never knew that they were Green Day songs. They started playing Basket Case, and I was like "hey.. this sounds familiar.." and pretty soon I was singing along with it.

I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for that concert... Although right now I'm not sure how thankful I am for that.

Fan since: Technically... probably since around 1997

First album: AI, but now I have all of them.

Favorite songs: Hitchin' A Ride, Going To Pasalacqua, Whatsername, Suck With Me, Having A Blast, When I Come Around

^ thats what happened to me.

when american idiot came out i didnt want to listen to it coz i assumed it was another band like good charlotte or simple plan and i couldnt be bothered with that, but then i started listening to the lyrics, coz it was on tv 24/7 and loved it. then my sister bought the american idiot album, then i started getting into their older songs and realising that a lot of their songs i knew and could sing along to... i used to love warning but yeah... i didnt have a clue who sang it.

then i went to see them in adelaide in march last year when i still wasnt sure who they were, but i knew i had to go anyway and i loved every single second of it.

i have all of their albums except insomniac, i am not sure why i dont have it, but i dont. warning was their first album i bought.

then i saw them in melbourne in december.

and that is my story about me liking Green Day.

[Watoosh]

i've seen them live twice. once in june 2002, and again in november 2004. i didn't really become a fan until i saw them in 2002 though, because i had gone to see blink 182 and bought international superhits not long after because i had liked green day.

they were my favorite band in 8th grade (so... 2003) and i 5 of their cds with my "souveniur money" when i went to florida during spring break. i really wanted to see them again, and i really wanted them to put out another album.

they put out american idiot, and i downloaded it a few weeks before it actually came out. i thought it would be good because i liked the title track and "favorite son" which had come out at around the same time, but i really didn't like the rest of it.

they came back in november though, and i bought tickets to their show right after they came out (floor seats ) and saw them with nathan, kaelen, and butttt. that was the first concert i went to with nathan

[Totally obsessed]

I've never seen them live But I will! Trouble is my parents are terrified that I'll get trampled on in the mosh pit!

[spark in the night]

Saw them live once- September 11th, 2005

First album- AI

First song- Good Riddance (but didnt know it at the time)

I can't remember the exact date when I became a Green Day fan. I think the first time I saw Green Day was on mtv, I saw the American Idiot music video. I remember watching it and how it was fast and slow motion, I said to myself "who are these freaks?" (I laugh at that now) But I didnt have an interest in them. Then the next time, I think was around November 2004, when BOBD was released and the heat of it was starting to pour. I remember when I used to go on AIM people had BOBD lyrics in their little info pages and I was like, ok what is with this song I have to check this out. So I found the song on opendiary.com and put it on my open diary (that was before I found myspace) and I really liked it. I replayed the song over and over until I knew it by heart. Then I started digging deeper into this, trying to find info on the band, who they were and where can I get more songs. Thats when I realized they were the same people as those freaks on the music video. haha. thats when I started getting really interested in them. At the time Maroon 5 was my obsession band, but on my open diary I now put my favorite bands are Maroon 5 and Green Day. that was around december 2004. It was also when I actually bought the American Idiot cd. I started listening to and when I listened to JOS, I got scared. dont ask me why, but I think the 9 minutes jest of it scared me. So I put the album on my cd rack and didnt touch it for months. It sat there collecting dust. So for..idk prolly 2 months, I only listened to 4 GD songs AI, BOBD, Holiday, and WMUWSE. Then one day, around February 2005, I said to myself, "I didnt really give that cd a chance, maybe i'll go listen to it one more time from start to finish." And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the start to what I am today. I still remember sitting on the couch listening to that album for hours over and over singing along to the lyrics packet. It was then that I became an obsessed Green Day freak. April 1st, 2005, I get my first and still the same today, myspace account. I totally deck it out with GD pictures and such and I put the holiday video on it. Thats also the time when I came across GDA. I visited it everyday and I gained more and more knowledge of this band I was starting to love. And as time went on, I started collecting the rest of their albums. IS, Dookie, Warning, Nimrod, 1039, Insomniac, Kerplunk, & Shenanigans. And since then my love for Green Day grows stronger each and everyday. It's been a year and a half since my so called "fanage" bloomed and since then my life has changed for the better. Green Day are so special to me that I never want to lose them. I promised myself that no matter what, Green Day will always be there. Number 1 always and forever.

[to my own beat]

i heard when i come around on the radio right as warning was just coming out, so i went off and bought dookie, and ive been hooked ever since.
