Thanks.

This is my thought exactly :)

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

There's one on You Tube Linkage

Thank you for the link!

A bit more quiet performance, but still awesome!

The piano part is always so beautyful when they play it live.

He's fucking exhausted. Give him a break.

^^ That. Last night's performance was far from the best I've seen them put in, but even in their "we've been on the road nearly constantly for almost six fucking months" state, they still did a reasonable job with it. Others have done a lot, lot worse. Once again, Green Day doesn't lip-sync, and definitely doesn't phone it in even when they're wiped out and just wanna go home. Billie's voice is clearly showing signs of strain from being out so long on tour though, I hope he can get a break in for a few weeks before the tour picks up again.

Cheers for the acceptance speech vid. Quick, simple, no bullshit, they're awesome (:

I haven't seen Lambert's performance (just photos) but this is a bit much, surely?

The comments are ridiculous.

"That was disgusting. I was not only a huge lambert, idol, abc fan. However after seeing gay bondage, domination, rape, sex, horror and pretty much filth that came off the stage called for your entertainment I will have to rethink my loyalties....I love Adam and Now I hate him. I hope he dies and goes to hell. He is disgusting, perverted, evil and horrible for america."

:blink: Looks like I went to bed too early and missed the best part of the show. :D

I'm going to ignore the significant amount of bullshit occuring in this thread. And say that I think they did well concidering they havent had a break in nearly 6months and i'm really glad that they won that award :wub: They deserve it. And as for Billie's sons. No they don't look much like there dad, and so what?!

I missed the whole show :( So what do I need to see? Any videos or downloads? :D

I just got back from attending this. So let me give you my impressions:

Basically, I thought the performance was very underwhelming. I'm not really sure if Billie was sick or not , but his vocals sounded "heavy". They sounded off the entire time. Most of you know this already, but I've been deeply let down by the fact that Billie has stopped singing the "guns" in falsetto. But I've kind of accepted the fact that he can't hit that note live (which is why he is stopped doing it). But tonight...it was just TOO obvious. At the end of the song he tried to hit that high note, and his vox completely cracked. It was really... :( I feel like they need to stop playing 21 Guns live (on tv) - because it sounds so bad for the band.

I don't want to sound ungrateful. The overall awards show was fun to attend. I got to see some great acts, and it was nice being in the company of good people. But at the same time, I basically went for Green Day. And it was a let down to see them put on such a mediocre live performance. I thought I would never say this..but Lady Ga Ga put on a better performance then them.

Okay, I know i sound like a total hater. And I really do apologize. This is just how I felt after seeing this in person. I even just got done watching the TV broadcast of it, and it only confirmed what my ears had heard. Bah.

No, I think your perceptions were pretty dead on. Don't get me wrong, any Green Day performance is a delightful thing, but they've been touring non stop since May and I think the strain shows. I had just watched their performance on SNL in May right before the AMAs and you can just tell they're tired. Who can blame them? Yes they are fabulous, and definitely best live band of this century. But that level of intensity takes a toll physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just hope they are able to refuel before they head to Australia and NZ. Their stamina is amazing, but they are clearly human.

I didn't see it,but the comments make it sound awful :lol:

Why not share the pics for those who only watched Green Day and bolted?

Oh and I can't believe I forgot to play my little "find the hat" game last night during their performance :lol:

If you wanna know I can swear to god that Jason Freeze's hat looks like that of an anime character,so I try and find the hat.

It was a good performance,I think they might have been pissed because they went on so late.

Hope they just left after that and got some rest :)

Thanks to the people who posted links to the performance & speech! :)

Even though they've been on the road for 6 months that performance was still amazing :wub:

I'm so happy that they won!!! :D

Just watched their performance, acceptance speech and backstage interview. (Are there any more videos btw?) I must say they looked better than usual, simple and smart. I liked it a lot. Glad they won, not that it was difficult considering their competition :P 21 guns was amazing. Though, I was hoping for 'not a single' song but their choice is pretty understandable. Yeah, I guess that's all I wanted to say... :D

No wait, Joey is so big! :D

I absolutely loved the performance :) I thought it was great, and it really proved to everybody who doesnt know much about Green Day, that they can do softer songs too and really fucking rock, Billies voice is absolutely breath taking, like he literally has the best voice I have ever heard!

I agree totally.

It really sucks to watch the show and think "Oh wow, they did great" (which I did and still do think), and then come on here and see everyone saying how Billie's voice was messed up, they're depressed, they're exhausted...etc.

I heard Billie mess up one note. One. I thought his voice sounded beautiful. After watching I actually listened to the Live in Tokyo version of the song, and you know what? Billie sounded BETTER last night.

How come when they don't jump around the stage everyone comments on how somber they seem? In concert, do they jump around during 21 Guns? Not at my concerts. Why should an award show be any different? And I don't expect Billie to smile the whole time he's singing to prove he's happy. He seemed just fine to me.

As for the exhaustion - how many of us were just out touring Europe for two months? Nobody? Hmm.... then maybe we shouldn't go crazy when the guys look a little sleepy.

Sorry, end of rant. It just makes me upset that SO many people on a Green Day fansite are so critical of them. If it were a genuinely horrid performance, I would understand the critiques and would probably put my two cents in as well. I just didn't see or hear anything that made me think it was a bad performance whatsoever.

On a side note - Billie was looking very 2005 last night, wasn't he? :happy:

anybody know if hey did my questions?

;P

Edit: ^ Seriously just shut the fuck up. Noone wants to hear your bullshit.

Sorry but this was so mean. If you think that a comment is stupid or something, just ignore it, cause being so rude and gross doesn't make you a smarter person. :)

Posted

so i watched the performance again

and i think i liked it better the second time around.

mike looked mighty fine last night :wub:

oh and thanks for that backstage video, whoever posted it!

sorry i dont remember :/

anybody know if hey did my questions?

;P

Ya know, I really do love this performance. I'm suprised other people don't see the beauty of it. His voice cracking just shows alot of emotion and vulnerability to me.

I haven't seen Lambert's performance (just photos) but this is a bit much, surely?

Oh my god. The comments on that are actually priceless.

And no, it wasn't that bad! :lol:

It wasn't that bad. Seriously. Have you seen what Madonna gets up to on stage? xD

Or Billie for that matter :eyebrows:
