Guest Shangri-La Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah, it was awesome fun in Philly ... but I thought we saw it in Vancouver, too???? I know it didn't surprise me in Philly, and I don't think it was just from reading recaps/watching youtube videos. Maybe so, though ... the tp was a no show in vancouver. i'm not sure where it started, all i know is i'm totally jealous everyone's getting all this cool stuff now.
Kisa Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 That cannon shoots far as fuck. Which is pretty far. I even think Billie Joe overshot the people in the REALLY high arena seats.speaking of phallic symbols: i'm disappointed we didn't get the TP gun at the first 2 shows I feel a bit ridiculous about it now, but I almost had to fight people for the TP when he was blowing it out @ us, .
Katherine Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 ^Bahaha, when Tre threw some TP into the crowd at my show, everyone attacked eachother for it, I got some and then felt stupid for fighting for it. And dude, that t-shirt gun could kill someone. Everyone got the shit scared out of them when that thing first went off.
J'net Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 the tp was a no show in vancouver. i'm not sure where it started, all i know is i'm totally jealous everyone's getting all this cool stuff now.Yeah!!! Toilet paper is so cool! Getting up on stage and having fun with all the members of Green Day is ... meh ...You poor thing! I feel SO sorry for you that you missed the TP !

I feel SO sorry for you that you missed the TP ! exactly!!i still have two more shows to go to on this tour though so hopefully tp gun makes an appearance.
J'net Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 exactly!!i still have two more shows to go to on this tour though so hopefully tp gun makes an appearance.Somehow, I feel sure it will! And I also think it will pale beside your Seattle experience .
fashionvictim86 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I was right in front of the catwalk, and Billie pulled that sucker out. I was jumping up and down because I really wanted a shirt, but when he shot the thing, I was like, "HOLY CRAP!" Haha. I did NOT expect it to go so far. And it was hilarious because I could tell everyone was thinking the same thing around me. Every time Billie shot a shirt, we looked behind us and we were all like, "Damn..."Same here! I thought man, since I'm against the gate, if he shot me with that thing, that would hurt like a bitch.
Manji Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 One of them fuckers hit my hand, was so close to grabbing it but it just fucking hurt so it bounced. After it hit my hand I was like 'ow, I don't fucking want it anymore'. They fucking hurt.
shaye Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Does anyone watch the Simpsons?Because one of these killed Ned Flanders's wife.LOL
SaintSaturn Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I wonder if Green Day got the idea for a TP gun from the band The Phenomenauts. They are also from Oakland. They've been doing that for several years.

rebelrose91 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I was pretty far away during the 27th MSG show, but the t-shirt cannon never shot high enough-I was in the 300s. I was in GA the second night, but I was happy with the squirt gun. It was freakin hot in that pit! Lol!
NowhereBound Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I read a lot of the posts...so I'm really happy that I MIGHT have a chance of getting a T-Shirt even though I have nosebleed seats...
steelthorne Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 yeah at first I was like ooh! i want! but then it shot like a hundred feet and i was like holy crap.
Rbka Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Are there any pictures of the aforementioned cannon?
Farah Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah!!! Toilet paper is so cool! Getting up on stage and having fun with all the members of Green Day is ... meh ...You poor thing! I feel SO sorry for you that you missed the TP !innit!
Drew Holiday Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 So what is the TP gun made from? I need one Honestly, Billie can shoot that fucking gun farther then anyone else i've ever seen.Since I had floor seats in Orlando, I knew I had no chance of getting a shirt, if he shot that thing on the floor someone would have lost an eye.
klarushka Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Does anyone watch the Simpsons?Because one of these killed Ned Flanders's wife.But I was pretty far back and one landed nea didn't think it would get almost all the way back to where I was sitting.Yeah, poor Maude
allierin_GDandGDA_fan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I was so close to getting a shirt! Some guy two seats away from me caught it instead... They do fly out pretty far though...

The t-shirt canon is a canister of compressed air attached to a Plexiglas barrel with some sort of chamber in between with a valve and trigger. I was watching him load and shoot it at the Orlando show. He loads a shirt, turns the valve, pulls the trigger. When he shot the last one all the way to the very back and upper section, he waited a while after turning the valve before pulling the trigger. So the more air, the more powerful the shot.

burnout_13 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Video of the TP gun and T-Shirt Cannon: Green Days Weapons Hahaha that looks brilliant
Rbka Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Video of the TP gun and T-Shirt Cannon: Green Days Weapons cool
Hermione Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Whoever first thought up the idea of a toilet paper gun, and then actually made one, is a genius as far as I'm concerned.
