Metanoia Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I know, right?! I've actually never heard anyone call it terrible before. I always thought it had only gotten good reviews. Plus, I don't see what should be so terrible about it. Yeah all reviews of it I read so far were brilliant. I really can't see why it would get bad reputatio nat all!
lizziebix Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Didnt Billie first tweeted some show was "Awesome as Fuck" and then the fans made those signs? I thought he tweeted that after he saw the signs.
bollard_11 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Don't criticise Kerrang, they block you if you disagree with them as I found out the hard way

captain peroxide Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I thought he tweeted that after he saw the signs. He did. People in the pit at Denver held up signs saying "Awesome as Fuck" and Billie worked it into Good Riddance during the encore. Then after the show, he tweeted something like "Denver - awesome as fuck! Highlight - Cigarettes and Valentines. twice!"

farley drexel hatcher Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 It's not THAT bad of a review, they're basically only saying they'd have preferred newer sings and that you can't capture the magic of a green day show on a CD - which is true. BIAB was a bit rubbish in that aspect. And yeah I think they're only talking about the CD
captain peroxide Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 BiaB was great in a lot of ways, but it would've been much stronger with less of Samuel Bayer's ego cluttering up the screen. Personally, I think it would've been better to have the concert uncut, along with the documentary footage as its own entity.

BIAB was a bit rubbish in that aspect. Huh? Green Day is the only live music I have on my iPod, precisely because they sound so good live and it brings me right back to the shows I've been to. And it was watching BIAB that led me to realize that I really missed something on the '04/'05 tour -- a mistake I then swore I wouldn't make again.

And it was watching BIAB that led me to realize that I really missed something on the '04/'05 tour -- a mistake I then swore I wouldn't make again. What I mean is, an official, polished and edited live album is never going to capture the true beauty of a live show, especially one like green day where so much of it is visual and doesn't translate well to a CD. That's why to me the CD of BIAB fell flat to me and why I'd prefer to listen to a bootleg than to BIAB.
Laura! Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Please, where is the preview? There is a post by Jimmy a few pages back with 30 second clips of each song. Last night iTunes had 90 second previews available including the bonus tracks, but this morning no one is able to listen to them anymore. EDIT: Here's the post: http://greendayauthority.com/audio/AwesomeAsFuck-Samples.mp3 30 second samples for you guys
jtdscape Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Anyone has recorded the 90 seconds previews? no.... I was hoping that they would have just stayed up... oh well

Sometimes I think you have ESP....you read my mind again didn't you?
JaseminTheIdiot Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Friday, friday, friday, fridaaaaaaaaaaaay. Oh god, I'm sooo excited.

Bastard of 1967 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Sometimes I think you have ESP....you read my mind again didn't you? Nope, I'd never do such a thing. Scared about what I might find!
madddie Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Is anyone else going to the screening and after party in Southampton on Friday?? I'm so excited.
