well they are new songs..

Well he has messed up AI and JOS in Germany this year. No offense. I love GD, but I'm getting worried.

Posted

Well, they are new songs, plus he's written a shitload of songs in his life, it's probably very hard to remember all the lyrics.

Classic side effect of the use of marijuana.

There new songs. He's not used of playing them yet. Plus he's written over 130 songs (I checked on my ipod) so it's not a surprise if he forgets a few lyrics. He's a human being too. We all forget things

Are you suggesting that maybe he's getting old and senile

no andred, that's exactly the thing I am not saying. and yes Billiejoe1 we are human.

Sometimes bands say the wrong words on purpose. Not only does it show that it's really live. Sometimes they do it for a touch of Humor. I personally don't think Billie Joe would forget his lyrics, When he lives for his music.

I know and he did just that at Blitz: 21 Guns he said after the solo "did you try to aw fuck.""

You should have seen him during the opening shows in April. There were plenty of words (of old songs) that he just lost. It's just common. you can't remember every lyric when you're not regularly practicing those songs. But yeah, there are some songs where he changes up the words a bit (there's that part on Welcome to Paradise, and others I can't really think of).

Oh, I don't think this is worth talking about.

So what if the poor man forgot some of the lyrics. Everyone does.

Jesus...

Give Billie Joe a break. Considering how he performs and what he writes he can mess up a bit, He's still an awesome song writer and musician

"Christian's crying in the bathroom ... where are my fucking cigarettes ... I want a fucking cigarette!!!"

I don't think he's forgetting the lyrics there :).

I thought that was so funny! I wonder how many people didn't catch on to that.

:lol: What show was that at? I must've missed it..

Well, Billie IS human. I agree with Peace and Rainbows. Give him a break.

Any kind of performer, whether it be an actor or a musician will forget things while performing. I've been in theatre arts class for two years and i've seen a lot of people mess up their lines. That doesn't mean that they're bad actors or anything, it just happens sometimes. Your brain just freezes up and you forget. I remember seeing a production of the Christmas Carol over in Indianapolis, and there was this actor who messed up their lines. It's something that just happens sometimes. And they are newer songs that he's singing also. It's nice to know that he's not perfect, and he can make mistakes too. So I'm not too worried. He's going to perform a lot on tour, there's bound to be a time where he's going to mess up, it's not going to be 100% perfect.

The first time I know of was the Webster Hall show. That's when someone threw him a cigarette, and he lit it up on stage. But since then he oftens says "I wanna bum a fucking cigarette" or something similar.

K. I've seen that, but didn't catch those exact lyrics *goes watch*. (and I did notice that other). :happy:

Oh wait, I can't find it on youtube, I might confuse it with another show then..

did anyone notice that in one of the german performances, during ai he says somethin bout obama? :happy:

I don't think it really matters. I have over 150 songs by them on my computer and you just can't remember everything from every song. That's natural.

And the songs you mentioned are all new and GD didn't played them live before...

Posted
well they are new songs..

agreed! And how are they gonna remember all the lyrics to all their songs, its impossible. But if it happends too often it is a bit worrying :lol:
