Papercut Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 its probably not real, it looks like a replica
Trina Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 ...You can sell them things? :|Anyways, I don't think the majority of Green Day fans have the money for this. Still, I'm sure someone will buy it.
spark in the night Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 It went platinum?dayum, American Idiot is blingin'
GDM Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 Ha, completely understood. Why do you think I'm NOT buying it.
Trina Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Didn't someone from Tower Records, back in 97 or something say that it wouldn't be long till you'd find Green Day's records in their bargain bins?! It was after their little riot.There used to (and I'm pretty sure there still is) a tower records in Dublin. It's pretty good but last time I tried to find it I asked people where it was and they said it didn't exist and then I got lost looking for it..

Angela. Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 It's beautiful! I want it so bad. But I don't even have $5, let alone $200.
Sarahnade. Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 It's beautiful! I want it so bad. But I don't even have $5, let alone $200.Same here. Well..I only have 5 bucks. Just about $195 away.
Greenday_Aussie Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Whats this Tower Records? Aren they will Reprise?
HoneyDo666 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Whats this Tower Records? Aren they will Reprise?Tower Records is a CD store that went out of business. Reprise is a subsidiary label of Warner Brothers Records. Yes, Green Day is on Reprise.
VanessaIsh Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 It looks beautiful, and would be a wonderful addition to my sadly Green Day posterless room.I would gladly give up two months of my beloved guitar lessons just for that:]But I actually do have the money for it(from christmas, birthdays and shit), my parents just would never approve. :down:
Smoothed Out Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Tower Records is a CD store that went out of business. Reprise is a subsidiary label of Warner Brothers Records. Yes, Green Day is on Reprise.I was looking for BIAB on dvd while I was on holiday in London and all the HMVs had sold out, so my Mum & Dad's idea was to go to Tower Records in Picadilly. No wonder we couldn't bloody find it!Anyway, that's a tad too expensive for me-I didn't know you could buy those...
Nikki_Nimrod Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 That's so cool! I wish I could get it, but all my savings are currently going towards my trip to England for the stadium shows...It looks beautiful, though!
Miss Hedgie Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 ^Sugar muffins. :down: I'd totally buy this but I've just spent like £100 on christmas presents.
GDM Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 Is it the real one?I don't know, you'd have to ask the seller but I think records companies make duplicate awards and give them to others. This one was given to Tower Records by Reprise, according to the seller.
parinaz Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 but why they want to sell it? who wanna sell it the band? oh,i don't understand it.
Guest Hayley Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I don't know, you'd have to ask the seller but I think records companies make duplicate awards and give them to others. This one was given to Tower Records by Reprise, according to the seller.Erm I dunno. I find it hard to be the original.
GDM Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 Erm I dunno. I find it hard to be the original.It's the original one given to Tower Records, it seems. The seller has a lot of these for different bands. Maybe he used to work for Tower Records before they went out of business. Like I said, the record companies always give these things out to certain people/companies, and you'll have to ask the seller where he got it from. I'm just the messenger cause I thought it was an interesting artifact. I'm an archivist and these things fascinate me.but why they want to sell it? who wanna sell it the band? oh,i don't understand it. It's not the band that is selling it, it's someone who has somehow obtained the Tower Records platinum award.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 That's cool.But 200 bucks is too expensive, even though I have the money.
