Awesome as Fuck

Hey guys - can anyone here tell me if I pre-order the CD/DVD on Amazon, will it be delivered on 3/22, or will it be shipped on 3/22 and delivered later?

I'm weighing the pros and cons of buying it instore (probably more expensive but I'd get it the day of!) or buying it online (cheaper and maybe get it later). Thanks!

When I pre-ordered BIAB off of Amazon they shipped it the day it was released, so I didn't get it till a few days after. I was bummed.

Anyway does anyone know why they picked Tokyo as the venue for the live DVD?

Also, is there going to be a blu ray version? The bullet in a bible blu ray is EPIC

Idk why they chose that, maybe just cause they like that city, it has a nice atmosphere or whatever.

Yeah, there will be a blu ray version. :) And btw, welcome to GDC!

My guess would be because it was originally intended for Japan only or something like that (here, about 1:20 in). that's just wild guessing on what Mike says in that interview, though.

But then still.. why Japan? Why does it always have to be "another special thing just for Japan".. I just don't get that. :lol:

Luckily they decided it's simply too great to be Japan-only, so they just combined it with audio from various shows.. and there's AAF. Yay!

Because they always give special shit to Japan :lol: I'm not sure why that is, maybe it's something to boost sales there or something. Idk.

Most bands do special stuff for Japan. I think it has something to do with the fact they rarely get to go there, or something. Doesn't make much sense though

Isn't it something to do with Japanese companies not liking to import stuff unless there's something extra? Like, they want extra songs etc for it to be worth importing? I have no idea myself but I'm sure I've heard something like that somewhere :lol:

Idk. :lol: Something extra.. well, so then Japan gets special things. And we'd like to have those here as well, which means we have to import it.. Not nice.

It doesn't make sense to me anyway.

Yeah, there are always special Japanese editions xD Even with the Tubbies right?

Idk... That's also a way for them to get money from non-Japanese people. Like the collectors, they always have the Japanese editions of everything :lol: But probably that's not the reason ahhah

It's good and I like the song but the quality is really crappy. Practically a bootleg! I know when a person uploads something to YouTube, the quality suffers but not that much.

And it's a BONUS dvd, the product is a live album, i.e CD. The DVD is tacked on, not the main feature.

greenday.com have realised there mistake on the splash page. The CD and DVD tracklisting are now the right way around :)

Just because it's a bonus, doesn't mean it isn't awesome, or that it would be "less unfair" if only Japan got an extra DVD if that DVD just happened to be a bonus. That counts for anything and everything that Japan gets extra, just because it gets the label "bonus" slapped on it, doesn't mean it's suddenly less good or whatever.

I'm so excited for the album and DVD to be released, but the only thing that I didn't like was that they filmed it in Tokyo. I have nothing against Japan or anything, but I just wished that they would have filmed the concert in the states. It would have been awesome if it was a mix of recordings from all over the U.S. Like for each song they would show the video of it from a different State or City and all of the different design or looks that each one had. Or just one concert that they did here in the States. Like if they would have recorded the Denver show and made that the live DVD, that would have been just one hell of a bonus. To see all of those people just holding the Awesome As Fuck signs in the pit, that would have just been epic.

On Mike's latest radio interview he said about how they originally only planned to just realize a live CD but the DVD just turned out so well that they just threw it in too. Basically.

That if this release was meant to feature the DVD (rather than a live album) they probably wouldn't have just done a Tokyo show.

Though honestly, I don't really see a difference or understand why people care if it's just from Tokyo.

I CALL RACISM!
