J'net Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 K. I've seen that, but didn't catch those exact lyrics *goes watch*. (and I did notice that other). Oh wait, I can't find it on youtube, I might confuse it with another show then..It was on youtube for a while - I remember watching it. But it's not on myspace's web site, because they didn't put that song out there .
norcalgreendayfan Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I wouldnt be at all worried about it, Billie is human after all and it isnt easy trying to remember all the lyrics considering the number of songs new and old I would be amazed if he could sing all the lyrics flawlessly
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 It was on youtube for a while - I remember watching it. But it's not on myspace's web site, because they didn't put that song out there .Dunno - I'm sure I watched a show where he grabs a cigarette that was thrown on the stage, he lit it, and said something like "Mm, I love *brand*" or something. I guess it was that one, but on youtube is only the last double chorus of Murder City on that show...
J'net Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Dunno - I'm sure I watched a show where he grabs a cigarette that was thrown on the stage, he lit it, and said something like "Mm, I love *brand*" or something. I guess it was that one, but on youtube is only the last double chorus of Murder City on that show...Yeah, your memory is good. It was definitely out there for a while. I watched it soon after the show, but it could have been removed by now. He says, "I love PCP," and then soon after that is when he made the crew come out and move the boxes so he could get closer to us. I'm wondering if all that is why myspace didn't upload this one.
Ally Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 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.exactly what i was going to say
goldwing7500 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 "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 .Haha J'net. He got his cigarette

I'm wondering if all that is why myspace didn't upload this one.Yeah exactly. Now I wanna see it again, I'm searching for it.
J'net Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Haha J'net. He got his cigarette Yes he did! Yeah exactly. Now I wanna see it again, I'm searching for it.I think there's a link in the Webster Hall thread somewhere. I'm sure that's where I found it, because I didn't have time to search for anything while I was traveling. If I get time, I'll look for it, too. If you find it, please let me know, and I'll do the same for you .
forget_me_nots Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 It kinda bums me out for some reason that he can't remember all his songs, but I understand. There's so many, and he can't be expected to be able to pull any of them out of nowhere and know them all as well as the next. Give the poor guy a break. He's still the man. Haha.

Luci_Minority Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 "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 think he forget lyrics because there are 18 new songs and a lot of other old songs... :wink:
J'net Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I found this, but the only singing you hear there is "so pathetic"...Yeah, that's the only one I was able to find too.
WrenchNinja Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 No big deal. We all forget the lyrics sometimes. Billie Joe is 37 and has written more songs than I could count. Gotta feel for him.
Seedless_Reject Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 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 thingstwo words: yup yupFirst of all he's not the only person in a band to mess up the words, I work for a '80s cover band during the summer and if it's a new song they have the lyrics printed out, at least Billie doesn't do that. Besides I agree with billiejoe1 on saying that he is only human everyone forgets things. Leave the man be, I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing.
tuwlol Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 EDIT: Nevermind, sorry.Not to be off topic..uh...damn 130 songs?! It's a wonder the band remembers all that they do and can play so many covers as well.
Hermione Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I like it when he forgets lyrics . And he's been doing it for years, for example check out Good Riddance on MTV, new year's eve 1998 . You'd have tp be super-human not to with that many songs, it's all part of the fun.And I like it when he changes them on purpose too. My favourite is "when I come around" changed to "how now brown cow"
Foxboron Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 i know... 40-45 songs on guitar (in my head)... i have began messing up when i play them.. imagen when you can 130.... (note that i play 3 hours a day to..)
Whatsername868 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Man I watched a performance of American Eulogy and it looks super hard to sing live...he sings it so fast!And no, I don't blame him for forgetting lyrics. Like everyone's saying, Green Day's written so many songs and it's been a long time since they've performed so much.But could I get some links to videos of him forgetting the words?? I think I've only noticed it happen once.
Supermodel*Robot Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I don't blame him. Green Day has released at least 145 songs, plus he writes for the network & the foxboro hot tubs. That's a shitload of songs to remember. Especially if they're really new or twenty years old. I don't think he's losing his memory, he's simply produced too much material for any human to memorize.
.Militza. Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I'd really like to see the videos where he forgets parts of the songs, on purpose or not, though I would be funny So can anyone post it up here ?
1997 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I forget things, people, places all the time! I have a hopeless memory. Really doesn't bother me if he forgets some lyrics, I like the realism.
