st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 ok. so i've been thinking (that's a shocker i know) and i was wondering what if green day played the superbowl? would it be awesome? would it be bad or terrible? what would you think if they played the superbowl? how would you like it? share your thoughts on the topic and let me know what you think.forget it. just found a thread on this
JoeMcHugh Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 After seeing The Who's performance last time (which wasn't that great), I think that Green Day would be a great choice for it.
JadedHaushinka Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Yeah, I think it would be great if they played the Superbowl.

MNF is one thing...the Superbowl? No way we'd be able to defend them against the bullshit "sellout" gripes if they went and played the bowl, especially with all the over-the-top hype, dancing, etc. that would have to go along with it. Green Day concerts are events in and of themselves, not spectacles to be tacked onto a larger spectacle, and I'm afraid that playing the Superbowl would be just such a spectacle even if the exposure would otherwise be great for the band. There's gotta be a better way than that....
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 hahaha im surprised people are responding to this after i already found a thread on this [its alllllll the way at the last or second to last page]. but i'm glad! and yes the who's performance was really really bad. i mean i love them but i was a little down trodden.

There's gotta be a better way than that.... now that is a good point and also because everyone has said yes im glad theres someone who thinks different. and it's very true about green day concerts being events of themselves. but remember green day (at least billie) are sports fans so what if they actually did it?

I think bj's much more into baseball than football, remember they parodied highschool football games in the Nice Guys Finish Last video. More likely to see them play at the World Series, which (especially since Billie's into baseball independent of anything the band's being played to do) would make the whole performance a lot more genuine, also a lot more laid-back.
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 so would you prefer them play at the world series rather than the superbowl if they decided to play a sports event (if any)

That's true, but didn't he play football in high school?
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 That's true, but didn't he play football in high school? he did but then he was also water boy. (if you don't believe that then read nobody likes you the biography)
Whatsername_21 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 he did but then he was also water boy. (if you don't believe that then read nobody likes you the biography) lol i believe you. after reading all the posts i think it would be better if they played at something baseball related.
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 lol it's funny people are saying they should play the world series or something baseball related because i was actually gonna name this thread should green day play the superbowl or anything sports related which i prolly should have done
Dry_Ice Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Green Day should do whatever the fuck they want. The Superbowl would be great, honestly. Green Day's a huge arena-sounding alt band now that they can do anything. It would be a sight to see!
Sanity Loan Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I'm 100% sure there is a thread about this Edit: But it's from 2005 haha
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 there is but if someone (a mod or admin.) could change the title of this that would be great
JadedHaushinka Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 haha what if they played the olympics? Uhmm.. that would sound nice too but I don't know. If they ever want to, let them go ahead.
Dry_Ice Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 haha what if they played the olympics? That would be incredible...only if the Olympics were held in America, since GD is from the US. Or they can play in Germany cause Tre's from there... haha
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 haha it would be awesome but i doubt it
Salmonator. Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Honestly, no. They'd get so much shit for doing so, and I just know that there's going to be a shit load of critism for it. I think they would so great, but I don't think it would appeal to many people.
st.idiot Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 people keep saying that green day will get so much shit. do you think they'd care? i mean how do you think they get past the whole gilman thing? if green day has tought any of it's fans 1 thing it's do what you want and have fun. if they don't wanna do any of these then they won't but if they do it's just more fun for us fans and for them
St. Jimmy 7234 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 The totally should. People would have so much fun
blitzkriegdeb Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Absolutely not. The amount of shit they'd get would be unbeliveable.
