SynthwaveTrooper Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Heya there vets, so here is the question of the day, after 13+ years of GD being in your life what have they done for you?for me they got me through some bitchin times, hards with the rents and help me through alot of teenage angst.This Question is for the TRUE vets.

At the touch of a switch, they were always there for me.There isn't a day goes by that these guys don't make me smile.

For me, same in that they make the tough times more bearable. I can always let off some steam listening and singing along to Green Day. I've learnt from them too, from their lyrics to the way they go out to have a good time. They've provided me with some of my greatest and most memorable experiences... seeing them live for the first time at V98, being part of the historical weekend at Milton Keynes, and of course travelling out to see the Hot Tubs last year... to name a few.Its great to share the Green Day love too, with the people from here and also my brother and cousing who are also Green Day fans. Its great too how even my parents have pretty much become fans through us!
J'net Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Heya there vets, so here is the question of the day, after 13+ years of GD being in your life what have they done for you?for me they got me through some bitchin times, hards with the rents and help me through alot of teenage angst.This Question is for the TRUE vets.Well, I was a fan for a long time and loved their music. But they really hit me hard with Minority. I've struggled all my life with being kind of a "black sheep" of the family and yet a high achiever. I did well in school (but I did other things, too ). I've been known to quit my job to travel around, but I've never asked anyone else to take care of me - I've always landed on my feet and been self-sufficient. I've never had a problem with doing what I knew I needed to do, but I've always had this kind of struggle because I felt I couldn't please my family or other people I cared about. I would tell them about something I was going to do, and they would be so shocked and ... sometimes hurt ... I just couldn't understand it. I never doubted their love for me - it was their acceptance I was craving.When I first heard Minority and heard the line "marching out of time ... to my own beat now," I thought - yeah, that's me. And then Billie just punched me in the gut with "The only way I know!" I started crying (and Minority is not a sad song, as we know...). But it's like hearing that one line set me free. My feelings about my life began changing on that day, and it's just gotten better and better ever since. I'm SUCH a different person - so much happier - and my family ... well I don't crave their acceptance any more ... their love is enough. I'm happy the way I am - it's the only way I know.I'm not trying to make this sound over-dramatic. It's just the way it was and has been since. So I have to love these guys. They helped me grow up and learn a lesson many people have absorbed at a much younger age .

Although i can't put it down to one song like that, i can relate to what you're saying.

Starbug Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Heya there vets, so here is the question of the day, after 13+ years of GD being in your life what have they done for you?for me they got me through some bitchin times, hards with the rents and help me through alot of teenage angst.This Question is for the TRUE vets.They practically saved my life, really. I've always called them my 'guardian angels' because they literally came along at a time in my life where I was completely lost. My dad was abusive, we fled him one day while he was gone to get beer, and I had issues of my own, besides those. I had been in and out of hospitals and all kinds of shit was happening in my life. I knew no peace. Teased at school, yada yada. I guess my story isn't much different from a lot of kids around the age of 14/15, but it's mine, and Green Day slid right into it. 'She' and 'Longview' and 'Basket Case' were my proud anthems, because no one else could capture the way I was feeling they way they did. Alienated, unmotivated (not lazy, there's a difference) unsure of myself, out of place, and being spoon-fed my own opinions by the people around me and the school I was going to. Green Day were a glorious release, and I thank God for them. My guardian angels I was way past the teenage angst period of my life by the time they found me (and yes, it was that way round), but they certainly helped with the recession of the early 1990s, two babies, two schoolchildren and their exam stresses, death of two parents and a traumatic house move. At the touch of a switch, they were always there for me.There isn't a day goes by that these guys don't make me smile.Same here. And they've never let me down, at least w/ their music. It's always there, solid as a rock, never changing, never disappointing.Well, I was a fan for a long time and loved their music. But they really hit me hard with Minority. I've struggled all my life with being kind of a "black sheep" of the family and yet a high achiever. I did well in school (but I did other things, too ).

They helped me grow up and learn a lesson many people have absorbed at a much younger age .That's awesome THAT is what music is all about, and Green Day embodies it. 'Minority' is a special song to me, too, as I explained on a previous page, though for a completely different reason
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I love all the stories in this thread (I don't quote them and say they're awesome, but I do follow this thread and read everything), it's all awesome!I also like all the memories and what-they've-done-for-you stories, it all is a really nice read.Unfortunately I don't have those stories myself (yet) (gahh, Dookie is older than I am and I'm still such an utterly new fan), but I think I understand it, in a certain way...This doesn't really add anything to the thread but I wanted to say I really like it:) (and my apologies for the probably unreadable brackets everywhere)
fashionvictim86 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I remember...when I made this little Green Day site...and it became the biggest Green Day fan site in the world....

No matter how long you've been a fan, that's the common thread that almost all of us on here have:We're all fans, and we all love them for our own special, unique reasons. This is an exciting time for us, having a new album come out. And we're making memories now. I have never been a part of the build up for a new album, and I'm excited about it. And excited to share it w/ newer fans. And think, this album will garner them even MORE fans lolI remember...when I made this little Green Day site...and it became the biggest Green Day fan site in the world....Thanks
Nimrod99 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Heya there vets, so here is the question of the day, after 13+ years of GD being in your life what have they done for you?for me they got me through some bitchin times, hards with the rents and help me through alot of teenage angst.This Question is for the TRUE vets.Good question. In a nutshell, they just helped me get through those tough years where I was figuring out who I was. The music was kind of an outlet for me, something I could relate to on many levels. Also, my first concert was seeing them on the Insomniac tour. I remember listening to songs before Insomniac came out, but after that concert, I was hooked on Green Day, and have been ever since. GD also helped me when I was dealing with the loss of my horse. Listening to the music and finding something to keep my mind occupied really helped me out. I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to make it though that or not and I still struggle with it sometimes. I also have too many memories (some of which I have shared on previous pages) related to Green Day.
Greenday_Aussie Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Helped me through some tough times, gave me new thinking on the world ect (thank YOU AI) was they were apart of some of my fondest memories.
