I didn't manage to get a better close up but it's the seal

For what it's worth :/ But I think it's worth it, considering that the Health Care Reform is going on and Billie has always cared about it :cool:

right.

What's in the pin Billie is wearing?!

First glance, I thought it was a Ramones logo.

Hard to tell in the photos we've seen.

I think this explains it very well. Stripped down, personal performance that's still pretty damn good.

Thanks.

This is my thought exactly :)

They might be a little static, but the performance was massive in its deepness.

So cute ! :wub:

I want to see a vid of the performance :lol:

There's one on You Tube Linkage

Well i'm sure their perfomance was better than the other crap

Personally i don't think 21 guns is the best choice for these kind of shows, but hey.

I might be totally out on a limb here...

considering the musical version is coming out in two weeks or so....and it apparently is very emotional and brought the whole cast and musicians to tears...

I think it was intentional

its not supposed to be a comfortable piece...its supposed to be painful and sad and heart wrenching..The pain in Whatsername's eyes....I felt he was channelling "Whatsername or Gloria"

There were some extra elongated notes that were not there before ...that I think were added later by additional arrangments

woah

DEEP!

If you look before and after on the pics and vids they seem happy and funny and joke lots

I don't see exhaustion or frustration ....

I believe its part of the whole plan.....its the last "global" performance before the release of the single...

I think his little oopsy was vocal tiredness...but I really felt the pain and despondency and frustration of the "character"singing,,,,not Billie...he was in character...if that makes any sense at all

OK, so I'm back.

I went to sleep at 5a.m. and had to get up at 7.15, so after roughly 2 hours of sleep I'm not in good shape this morning.

And I'm pissed, too, cause I went through 2 hours of Red Carpet without getting the slightest glimpse of Green Day plus 3 hours of an awards show that I basically hated. Long, tedious, full of shitty music and even shittier performances. I don't like R&B, HipHop, Country music or the kind of insignificant pop music we've got to see.

Nowadays, it seems like everything is about "performance", which basically means as little clothing as possible and lots of ass shaking; most people don't seem to care about the actual music.

I have to admit that Lady Gaga's voice surprised me; much better than I had expected. But I didn't like the performance at all, she tries just a little bit too hard to be special and for me, that's not a nice thing to watch. And I feel no need at all to see her ass; if anyone's, let it be Billie's.

Adam Lambert's performance was just painful, and so was the rest of the performances for me for one simple reason: I don't like the music.

Which brings me to Green Day. I went through all this shit just to see them. They were the only show act who played real music. And I actually don't think it was a good performance. Billie fucked the vocals up. Period. 21 Guns is pretty difficult to sing live, so maybe they should have chosen another song, but then again, Billie has done much better in the past.

I don't think he looked exhausted -he actually looked pretty fine to me- , but his voice is completely strained after all the touring, which is only natural.

No matter what the reasons, he sounded quite bad. But still Green Day's performance was the only one that was worth the hype.

Wow, that was quite a rant! So sorry, but I needed this for my peace of mind.

On a lighter note: When looking at the pic of Billie and Joey I thought 'Hey, Joey is wearing Billie's jacket!' Doesn't that seem the exact same one that Billie was wearing during AI period???

I think East Jesus Nowhere is an all round winner :D

They should have played that instead and saved Gaga.

They won? That's awesome. :)

The performance was... uhm, okay. I actually think Billie was either drunk or had a cold, because his voice sounded a bit weird. :lol:

I don't get it why people are mocking our guys, they're having little break right now from long long lasting european tour. I was happy that I saw them on that kind of award thing again. They're so great between these all radio raped pop-garbage artists! And hey yea, there's download link of our guys performance :happy: :

they didn't seem to have their usual spark in this performance.

It's not that people are "mocking" them, everyone is just expressing their own opinions over the quality of the performance. That's all.

Haha that would have been amazing

I just think in general for these sort of shows you need music that moves yknow. Something to get everyone clapping and boogying

Exactly. Although I think 21 Guns is the most popular song on the record :(

It was not an over all bad performance, not at all. It was just Billie being out of tune. The rest of the guys were their usual selves. Which means brilliant.

billie joe was out of tune, the sound quality was bad (although that wasn't necessarily their fault), and they just seemed to lack a bit of spark. ive seen them do a lot lot better.

I don't know if anybody realized that there are changes in the piece...

there was normally no vocal line in the instrumental bridge....but there is now....

I have heard that vocal line before....

I believe they are part of the new arrangement,,,

its hard to sing as a choir as one person LOL

Posted

Yay they won!! Where can I see the acceptance speech??

and guys, you know what? I just LOOOVED the performance, it's one of my favourites I've seen from these award shows!

They all looked very relaxed, Billie using less eyeliner (or none really), and his voice was awesome =) YES IT WAS
