Ever get emotional over Green Day?

[MakeMeTheIdiotAmerica]

I can't say Green Day have ever made me cry or anything like that. But, they do make me feel happy when I'm down, especially Minority. That song is a piece of utter genius in my opinion.

And I gotta say, I've read a few comments where people are saying it's stupid to cry over Green Day. Dudes, don't be such assholes. Everyone is different! If a particular song makes someone cry, whether that be with happiness or saddness, who the fuck are you to make fun of them?

[minorty13]

I was just starting to like Green Day when I found out they were playing in my hometown, Salt Lake City. I was on vacation there so I had to go with my parents and my little brother haha. I was trying to act really chill about everything since my parents are both pretty conservative and wouldn't like it if I ran up to the tour bus and started humping it hahah So I was really calm and then we went to our seats (I was one row about GA) and watched Franz. Then the bunny came out and I started to freak out. The SECOND i heard the static and the lights dimmed i was bawling hahaha. Then i saw TRE and BILLIE and MIKE! i could barely stand. Now me and luckystar13 (amy) get excited over just about anything GD related But I personally think it's way more fun to be a crazy fan

You know in Bullet In A Bible where they're playing Wake Me Up and Billie starts crying? That gets me sometimes.

I cried twice when I saw them live. Once during Boulevard of Broken Dreams and the other during 21 Guns. I think at those points it sank in that I was actually seeing my favourite band and it wasn't an odd dream.

Other than that, I don't really cry over Green Day songs.

Oh god that part in Bullet in a Bible gets me to

I also loved seeing 21 guns when the sparks came down and the glass shattered on the screen behind them were both possibly my favorite parts of the concert I saw in Utah

[Velocity]

ive only been listening to them for about 5 years, but they were my first favourite band and they still are, but yeah, just like, seeing them, i cant believe its actually happening.

I'm gunna look like such a mess when they walk on, I reckon im going to be bawling my eyes out lol.

That was me when I saw them for the first time back in July. When they came out on stage it seemed so surreal, I was seeing them in the flesh for the first time and not through photos or videos. I remember getting butterflies in my stomach, and I got so weak at the knees I had to lean on the seat in front of me or else I would have fallen over. I've never felt that way about anything else in my life.

When they started playing, tears started streaming down my face out of sheer happiness, and it'd happen again at random times during the show. That night was like an emotional rollercoaster for me, haha.

yeah i get this with bands that i really really love, happened especially with My Chemical Romance, but i reckon Green Day will be much moore intense, seeing Green Day is like, dream come true for me. less than a month eep exciting

[IAmARevenant]

I almost just cried to the opening of Before the Lobotomy. I got immense chills though. Simply one of the most emotional songs Green Day has ever made.

That happened to me in October. I couldn't lean on the chair in front of me though because I was really high up so if I shifted my weight too far forward I would've fallen down a couple of rows haha.

Seeing Green Day definately aroused a load of conflicting emotions.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I have probably already told this in this thread, don't know and I'm too lazy to search it, but when Billie started WMUWSE in Rotterdam.. it was like :wub: omgomgomgomg . (long live emoticons, couldn't have described it in words xD). And it was like that during the rest of the song.

For the rest, I didn't cry or anything, I hardly ever cry over things that happen or that I hear have happened. Of course there were a bunch of ohhh this is beautiful and omg i can't believe I'm hearing this live moments, but no things that stood out. When JOS started it was kinda OMG YEAAH because it hadn't been played all the time in the previous shows.

[drumstick]

last week...on Green Day concert! It was my first Green Day concert and I was completely overwhelmed! I couldn't believe they're right in front of me....I was crying, screaming and laughing at the same time.....so many emotions at the same time...And when Billie looked me in eyes few times I just had an emotional breakdown!!!

I've never felt such an amazing feeling till then...It's just indescribable!

[Metanoia]

at the moment i really start crying when listening to no one knows or the end of 21st century breakdown and i really don`t know why ...

[Isabel]

Everytime I hear Song of the Century now, I get so choked up. and if I listen to 21st Century Breakdown straight after it, I can't contain myself

I will never ever forget the sound of Rock n' Roll Radio fading away and then all of a sudden hearing SOTC echoing through the arenas. I couldn't even sing along to it at Belfast, because that was the first show and I got so emotional because I couldn't believe it was finally here. Then the intro for 21st Century Breakdown actually made me burst into tears

[Mrs. Nobody]

Oh same, those two chords and then I remember (I could see the side) them running up and jumping and punching the end, and when they actually started singing i burst into tears i scared myself, i didn't expect that at all ahah

My friend was all 'awww you love them so much' and in my head all i could think about were tokyo hotel fans crying bahha

[Isabel]

Haha yeah, I really didn't want them to see me upset, because I was like "God, they'll probably think I'm one of those fan girls!"

Luckily I was surrounded by all the amazing GDCers and none of my usual friends, because they would have been like "Seriously though, why are you crying?"

I was in absolute shock, just couldn't get over the fact that they were right there. It had been so long since I last saw them

[Mrs. Nobody]

Lol, i'm glad they'll be a bunch of GDCers at Wembley, hopefully i won't be too pathetic

What got to me was looking up and seeing the whole arena moving their arms together.. wow

[VaMpIrA]

I cried when they came onstage in October xD.

It was my first GD show, the thing I'd been waiting for for years.

It was such an amazing time :').

whenever they come on my itunes i'm always like WHOO! too xD. then listen to them on repeat for hours. good time.

Haha you won't be, don't worry. We'll all be there with the tissues

Awh that's cool. God, I don't remember looking around and seeing the audience doing that. I was just so fixated on the fact that this really was, as Billie Joe says, "our time, our moment" and I was just so taken aback that they were finally in front of me. Then when the irish rock part came on, I went absolutely nuts!

Hearing him say "Stand up!! I want every mother fucker in this room to stand up! This isn't fucking television! This is our time, this is our moment!" It was like "Oh my god, he's finally saying this to us!!"

Awh that's amazing. I'm glad you had such an awesome time, it really is the best thing ever when you see your favourite band for the first time. I didn't like them as much as I do now when I first saw them; actually, it was seeing them live that made me totally obsessed with them. I couldn't get over how good they were

Yeah samee. I was like 'arrgh this is it!'

I love the way that's the first thing they do, is to get everyone standing up. amazing

[Twish.]

I cried during 21 Guns at the O2 Arena last month, and during WMUWSE as well. I'm a sucker for a Green Day soppy moment

[Isabel]

Yeah samee. I was like 'arrgh this is it!'

I know! It's like, the amount of control he has over people is just mind blowing

I also cried during 21 Guns in Belfast/Dublin (not sure why, exactly)

And I got really upset during Good Riddance at the last show in Manchester, because it was the last time I'd be seeing them. It was sort of funny though, because after the show, someone threw out a whole load of Mike's plecs. They all landed on the floor though and one of the security guards picked them up and started passing them all out to the one person. I was like "Please, please!! Can I just have one?!" But because it was right after Good Riddance, I still had tears in my eyes and I think yer one thought that I was just really upset about not getting a plec, so she handed me one

The only regret i have seeing them in Zurich, was that i couldn't see the catwalk at all.. and I was completely dead by the end of the gig. So i didn't pay much attention to the acoustic encore.. I dunno, i couldn't tear up.

i was crying when everyone was walking out though aha

[Bubbles.]

Yes, I get emotional over them... when I seen them live in Glasgow and London, I cried so much, it was tears of joy though, and love... after waiting so long and finally seeing my heroes right in front of me, it was beautiful.

And now after it, I can't seem to listen to them without getting over-excited/emotional, and when I listen to them live, it makes me teary sometimes.

I love Green Day, forever.

[Isabel]

Seeing them live makes me listen to them non stop for weeks afterwards.

[newsflash777]

I'm really really sad that I can't go to the show on the 23rd 'cause I'm too damn young and can't fly out there.

So if that's counted as being emotional, then right now I really really am.

[cocopot]

when i saw them in birmingham, the 28th, i was quite emotional. it was my first show, and i was emotional at the end, during billie's acoustic mash- oh god, it was both beautiful but so heart wrenching, knowing that the end had arrived. i think it was macy's day parade that got to me at that part.

and then i was emotional for at least 2 days afterwards, if not more. i couldn't do work or anything

[Isabel]

So if that's counted as being emotional, then right now I really really am.

The only thing that's keeping me sane is the fact that I couldn't possibly afford to fly over to LA after spending all that money on tickets for Manchester/Wembley/flights etc. Phew, god bless my occasional rational thinking

[Tashidge]

I'm a tad emotional now since a memory of the O2 show just came back to me.

If I cry at Wembley, just ignore me ok?
