susanananananaa Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I thought it would be fun to have a thread to discuss Green Day's pranks on their opening acts. Which was your favourite so far? *2009 Tour* Kaiser Chiefs: Last gig the Kaiser Chiefs played at the US Tour. Green Day offer them the company of the New Orleans Jazz Band!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK3UEPt6H-kPrima Donna: 1) Last gig Prima Donna played at the European Tour. I think this was the beat prank ever. Toilet paper, confetti, booze and a shitload of funny things happening on that stage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HxAgzav_0U 2) Last gig Prima Donna played at the Asian Tour. Green Day fill Prima Donna's dressing room with conffetti and smoke Photos: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7193/20431135453650088811557.jpg & http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/2553/20431135453654088911557.jpg (credit: facebook.com/primadonnarocks)Franz Ferdinand Last gig Franz Ferdinand played at the US Tour.Guys with kilts on and bagpipes and stuff came on stage and were playing while Franz Ferdinand were playing their song. Toilet paper started spraying up into the air. Loud pops were going off throughout their set that just didn't belong, like someone was testing pyro stuff or something without any pyro going off. It was weird. Everything made sense to me when those guys came on stage and everything started being trashed. It was all to screw with them. It was really great. About 2:40 into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bydZoCk-OMMJet: Last gig Jet played at the Australian Tour. Male strippers and people dressed as animals.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBIK7dOdgkEJet's revenge on Green Day:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd9KHDV-pzUThe Bravery In Albany, NY on 7/25/09, Green Day pranked the Bravery in much the same way they pranked Prima Donna and JET. There were mascots, male dancers, toilet paper, and popcorn EVERYWHERE What I thought was REALLY epic though, was at that same show when The Bravery pranked Green Day. During American Idiot, what The Bravery did was essentially re-create Woodstock '94. They had a huge banner, mud clumps flying , and other random stuff. Billie's reaction is kind of priceless. The Bravery's revenge on Green Day:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtC42Ygtbw & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9248O5QJ6A *2010 Tour*Rise Against Tré comes on stage and plays table soccer with the bandmembers during their show!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCl0LEgqVBkBilly TalentWhen Billy Talent was on stage, during the song 'Rusted From The Rain', there was a big explosion, all of a sudden: the guys got scared at first but then started laughing. Tre Cool did all that About 1:15 into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqzowVHqbsQParamore Same thing as happened with Billy Talent: Tré Cool provides an unexpected explosion during Paramore's performance.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmEp2G34LkI30 Seconds To Mars Even though they weren't "officially" supporting Green Day, as this was a festival, Tré Cool decided to prank them anyway, since that was set to be Green Day's last European gig in 2010 (which sadly had to be cancelled due to heavy storm). Here's Tré having fun dressed as Jared Leto (plus someone dressed as a pig): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZwbJ2sJKWgA.F.I. Last gig AFI played at the North American Tour (September 4 at Shoreline) Green Day dress as animals and prank AFI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5OIluQxlMgAFI's revenge on Green Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyNKao_HWhY edit: I updated this post with every information and video we have to date. Will continue to update it as more awesome prenks will hopefully happen in South America!

Leisha-LUNA Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 aaah the pranking of Jet was so good! of course it was the only one I saw, but it was so awesome. and in King For A Day they all came out again and they brought a doctor with them to inspect Billie's ass because he'd been sick. hahaha. Tre was the pig with the costume back to front so he had a penis tail and then they pointed the confetti guns at the stage and BANG. the venue security didn't look too impressed.

I kinda wish Jet had come over for NZ support as well haha. Their last show for the tour/year/decade and all we got in the way of pranking was a couple of random explosions during the support act courtesy of Tre. Probably because our support only had two shows with them haha. Fail.
Tubbie Head Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Hahhah, I love this!!!I hope that someday I can see a "last tour day" show!!!
Smoothed Out Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I love it when they do this, I just wish I could have seen one of them My favourite was when they did it to Kaiser Chiefs because I love them anyway , Ricky's face when the brass band came on in the middle of their best song and the interview they had with Nick afterwards about Tre's sneaky backstage TPing hehe
Kaddi. Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 They also did that to their other opening acts? I didn't know about that, it's so cool. I hope that I'll also see it one day.
Nikki_Nimrod Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Hahhah, I love this!!!I hope that someday I can see a "last tour day" show!!!This!These make me laugh so hard I can only imagine how epic it must feel to see it in person!
Leisha-LUNA Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I am so keen to watch the very last 21CB tour show. as much as I don't want the tour to end, I really hope its in a country I can get to at a time of the year I can get there. it will be SO epic.
