Siobhann Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I cried the first time KYE was played on the radio
Chad is Rad Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Do I? I started bawling when Green Day came onstage July 31st in TN. Literally, crying like there was no tomorrow. I was sobbing. It was pretty intense. I'm pretty sure Billie looked at me like I was crazy when I was crying, too...there's never been a more emotional moment in my life than seeing them for the first time. It was insane, it felt like I was dreaming. Then I cried again when they played Good Riddance. It was by fair the most depressing moment in my life when they walked off that stage...
Brian Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I got emotional to the point where after realizing that their songs have so much meaning to me. It was more of a realization that they were meant to be in my life.
Chelsea Hotel Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 The first time I heard Minority, I was just stunned. I had no idea you could say things like that in a song. And when I got my first copy of American Idiot, I listened to it all the way through--that record tore me apart. It changed my life. And when they came onstage at MSG, my heart was pounding so hard I thought I was going to pass out, swear to God.
GDM Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I just downloaded the MP3 to the Albany show, which was my first "real" GD show after GMA. I'm sitting here kinda bawling now because it's just making me so happy to hear Billie say, "when we come back in I want want every motherfucker to be jumping up and down," during 21st CB. I remember that moment and I kinda went insane with the dance.Ah, good times. I want to see them again real soon.
alaniluau Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 The first time I ever heard 21 Guns I cried. It was so amazing to realize, "Wow, they're back with a vengeance!"
CrimsonSheep Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I get emotional really weirdly everytime I hear ¡Viva La Gloria! It's even stronger feeling if I sing along.Also one day when I was sick and layed in bed all day, I had AI going and the storyline got to me real bad and every five seconds I was just thinking to myself, "It's so sad..." and I cried a lot that day. It probably didn't help that I'd had a fight with my boyfriend the night before.
mad hatter. Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 When they were doing the radio thing where we got like 6 songs, when it got to the chorus of 21 Guns i began to bawl. i think because it was just the fact that they were back.and then now when i hear good riddance i get pretty upset because it's the last song that was played when i saw them live.
Sharmellow Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 When they went on stage and Billie was jumping up and down at the beginning of the concert at Saskatoon, I couldn't stop screaming and I admit-I did shed a couple tears of joy. As for their music, I did feel something when i first hear 21 Guns. I didn't cry, but my heart felt heavy. 2000 Light Years Away, 21 Guns, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Good Riddance and even Restless Heart Syndrome did it for me, as cliche as it sounds. Then there are songs that really stuck out and made me go "Fuck the world" with songs like Minority and American Idiot. There are also songs like Basket Case, Brainstew/Jaded, King For a Day, Chump, Longview that make me just have this ecstatic feeling and make me just sing along at the top of my lungs. Green Day makes amazing music and those songs really reach out and grab my heart, haha. I don't care what you think of me, but that's what I feel. That's the emotions I feel. I have different emotions for each and every song they have, I just named a few.
Sarahnade. Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Good Riddance has gotten to me a bit lately.Boulevard is a song I've always felt very emotional over and attached to. It's my favorite song just because the lyrics are so somber, sullen, and brilliant. Such a somber song that's always struck an emotional cord in me.
!Viva La Analee! Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I cried the first time KYE was played on the radiothis too.i was so happy they were back on the radio, with new songs.
7 P 5 (Kyra) Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah, definitely. I mean, I don't just sob all the time over things, but like...today, for instance. I cried because the kid I'm supposed to see Green Day with started ignoring me for three days until 5 hours ago, and the concert is tomorrow (21st). I thought I wasn't going to get to see them, and I won't be surprised if I actually cry at this show once I make it there, just because of the fact that I'll actually be there seeing them and getting to experience something others may never get to. =3 I'm cheeeeesy, and female.No offense to all of the other girls out there! ;P
Maddy. Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Every song from Green Day makes me emotional, and that's how it should be. If you don't get emotional with any songs, it's boring...Wake Me Up When September Ends, Good Riddance, 21 Guns, Whatsername make me sad, but in a good way, just like how brilliant is this song, you know. Holiday, Minority, Basket Case, King For A Day make me sing along... badly.
iVivaLaGreenDay! Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I cried my ass off watching WMUWSE on BIAB.
Starred Thoughts Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I always get excited when they play on the radio. I'll be in the car with my sister with the radio playing kind of low, and all of a sudden I will attack the volume knob when I hear them play. It's probably a song I listen to over and over, but I feel a little emotional when other people are with me to listen to it.
Maddy. Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I cried my ass off watching WMUWSE on BIAB.Man, me too. My mom just went: "What a puff" ...
CrimsonSheep Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Every song from Green Day makes me emotional, and that's how it should be. If you don't get emotional with any songs, it's boring...This.Reminds me of a quote that I forget who said, went something like, "A song's no good unless it can make a total stranger burst into tears."
Modern Zero. Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Well, the one song that I can say that I get REALLY emotional with, is Before The Lobotomy.I just relate to that song so much. People always seem to have one Green Day song that has a lot of meaning to them, like one song that just clicks and it's "their song". And I never really had that. I mean...I've had a lot of Green Day songs that I relate to. How can people not relate to Green Day songs? lol Most of them are pretty relatable in one way or another, but with Before The Lobotomy, It's just...I relate to it, but in a much bigger way than the other Green Day songs that I relate to. It's kind of hard to explain. Like, for example, the first part of the song before the drums come in. Those lyrics have deep meaning to me. And then at the bridge part with the "Lost like refugees" and then "The brutality of reality". Just...ugh...lol And it seems like for a handful of GD fans, they say that Before The Lobotomy isn't one of the best ones on 21CB, but I think it is. lol I just love that song.
Luci_Minority Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 On BIAB at the end...when Billie plays Good Riddance and when he go away with Mike And Trè I always get excited when they play on the radio. I'll be in the car with my sister with the radio playing kind of low, and all of a sudden I will attack the volume knob when I hear them play. It's probably a song I listen to over and over, but I feel a little emotional when other people are with me to listen to it.Me too!! My mom now know when there is a Green Day song on the radio and I love how the last week I heard Last Of The American Girls on radio and I heard the same song the day after on the same radio I get emotional also with the intro of iViva la Gloria!
DistilledxSpirits Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Geez when do I NOT get emotional over Green Day?Songs I've cried during at some point or another:Jesus of Suburbia (City of the Damned)Boulevard of Broken DreamsWake Me Up When September EndsWhatsernamePoprocks & CokeJ.A.R.2000 Light Years AwayChristie Road80RedundantUptightHaushinkaChurch On SundayWaitingMacy's Day ParadeWhy Do You Want Him?Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) [bIAB Version]Coming Clean (Acoustic)Tel Me When It's Time To Say I Love You21st Century Breakdown (I got really emotional the first time I heard it)Before the Lobotomy21 Guns (the first time I heard it)iViva la Gloria!Listening to AI from front to back is a real emotional rollercoaster for me. And for some reason I always cry when I watch the part of Behind the Music when Billie talks about meeting Adie; it's beautiful, the way he talks about her.
Kleptomaniac Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Not until I saw them live on the 5th. Really didn't think of it happening but I choked up as soon as those guitar strums started after the intro.
Angela. Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I'm not going to lie. I have.J.A.R. is a song that I've always enjoyed listening to once I got into GD and first heard the song. But when it was played live at the Pittsburgh show... it didn't get me choked up or anything, but it really made me think about things in my life. And after I had gone home that night from the concert, that was a song that had stuck on me. That song made me realize that while things may happen in life that aren't that great, life is too short to sit around and just sulk about it. It's best to move on and try to live life to the fullest. And when I had heard the opening guitar strums of 21st Century Breakdown at the Pittsburgh show, I actually did get choked up and a bit teary eyed. I knew that after years of waiting, I was finally seeing the band that I loved more than anything, the band that had changed my life. I don't care if that sounds corny or not, it's true.Some other songs that have some deep emotional attachment for me personally are:- Whatsername- JOS- Extraordinary Girl- ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl)- East Jesus Nowhere- She- Christie RoadThose aren't all of the songs, but those are the ones that have had the most impact. I just think it's amazing how one song can do so much for you.Edit: How in the hell could I forget this? When Billie played Drama Queen at the Pittsburgh show, I got a little bit emotional. It just felt overwhelming to hear Billie sing 'She is my Drama Queen' and realize that this was the first time ever that this song was being played, right to us. And I was also scared that somebody wouldn't record it, because when the concert was over, I could only remember a tiny bit of that song. And I was thinking to myself, What if Billie doesn't play this song again for some reason? If he doesn't, and if somebody didn't record a video of the performance, I'll have almost nothing to remember it by. I know... it sounds stupid. xD
