Awesome as Fuck

[Dai.]

More importantly, people on Tumblr don't matter.

HEY, some of us aren't bad

[JullyToledo]

just three words to describe the moment...: Awesome As Fuck

:banana:

[justcause]

That title is the best fucking thing EVER - they better fucking keep it!! As lots of people have said, it's such a great mark of the unity of Green Day with the community of people who love them, and hey, you guys who came up with those signs gotta be feeling like the coolest people on the planet, cause you are!! It sounds like it's gonna be a great fucking package, and I'm excited for it.

What is Tumblr, anyways? (no, I'm not being sarcastic. And whoever invented it doesn't know how to write/spell, apparently.)

[Martyn]

FUCK YEAH!!

They're never gonna sell it at Wal-Mart! Fuck is too vulgar. hahaha

I think it would kinda sucks if the DVD is a Tokyo gig; they already recorded the Live CD "Last Night on Earth" at a Tokyo gig right..

They don't sell CDs with Parental Advisory stickers in Walmart unless there's a clean version.

Hence 21CB and American Idiot not being available there.

[Doris The Spider]

Can't wait!!!!

[koolkev]

Yeah....

What if they put some foxboro stuff on?( HIGHLY unlikely)

[lizziebix]

I showed the Amazon page to hubby. He asked if it would be new music and when I explained he said, "oh." (very negatively sounding.) Doesn't he know how exciting this is - new music or not???!!!! Obviously I've become the bigger fan in this household!!

[Samantha]

I actually don't know whether to laugh or cry

I think I cried while I was laughing...

But anywho I'm fucking pumped

Its gonna be... awesome as fuck ?

[Burnout98]

Yay March 15th is my dads birthday. He's happy

I meant to ask this a long time ago but forgot, did that happen at all WalMarts, or just in the U.S.? Because my WalMart has always sold both AI and 21CB.

I think that the title is really cool because of the connection it has to the fans, but I also think a lot of people will be like "umm... ok?". I mean, majority of fans I would have to say are not on GDC, and so they most likely would not understand the implications of the title. Just thinking of a couple GD fans I know, who I know would buy the DVD, but would have no idea why it's called what it is. I think unless there's some sort of explanation or something that comes on/with the DVD... a lot of people won't get it.

Also, for younger fans that might be a problem. I know my parents would never ever let me buy/download/listen to anything with 'fuck' in the title (or lyrics). Naturally I will buy it and just hide it from them for a couple months until I turn 18, like I've hidden everything else that has any swearing, haha. But other younger fans in similar situations may not be able to get it at all. Which I think kind of sucks.

Overall I think the title is cool, but it comes with it's downsides .

Either way though, I'm so excited for March 15! I was picturing a May-June release, so this is awesome!

[JordayC13]

This is going to be awesome.

The only thing is the whole Tokyo thing, cause on the last night on earth E.P. the crowd didn't sound that into it, except for the legends that or on this forum

I'm sure i'll be proved wrong, cant wait for it.

[captain peroxide]

So the DVD only being from Tokyo is confirmed, then? I'm kinda hoping that that ends up not being the case.

I didn't get confirmation on that, but i'm pretty sure that's what's going on. A few different sources had the same story.

[captain peroxide]

Ablah Oh well. It'll still be amazing. I just do not understand the Tokyo decision whatsoever.

[GDM]

Its a reference to the fans holding up signs at some of the live shows of the 21stCB tour

aw. thank you very much for sharing that. makes me really happy that something i wrote helps with the mystery behind the phrase, lol.

[farley drexel hatcher]

I kind of do get the idea to have filmed the show in Japan. I mean, we assumed they'd not filmed any because we hadn't seen any cameras. It was an easy way of them doing it without everyone knowing it'd be happening. No one ever reported seeing cameras at those shows as far as I remember. There isn't many people from the boards who even went to those shows.

It would have been nice to have seen some other footage, though, but it'll still be great to have something, at least.

Maybe for continuity? Might be a better DVD if there weren't cuts from too many shows. Or, maybe the Tokyo crowd and shows were the ones the band felt best about. Or maybe they know they'll sell a shit-ton in Asia by doing that.

I don't know.

[Sanity Loan]

Alex, I think it should have been the Denver show

Maybe continuity, but still, why Tokyo? I know for a fact that Argentina and Denver were both better shows, and we know Argentina was recorded. There's no way Tokyo crowds are better than the South American audiences either. It just doesn't make sense

Alex, I think it should have been the Denver show

Definitely.

[Sanity Loan]

Definitely.

That would have for sure made it "awesome as fuck"

[ifmemoryserves]

Answer: Green Day loves Asians.

[karma1215]

Awesome tribute to us Green Day fans and maybe a big f- you to huge ass corporations like Walmart.

Blahh you're right. My mom will freak if I buy something wwith a name like that. I had a hard enough time convincing her to let me buy 21stCB. Because of the COVER. And my dad got mad at my GD shirt because it had skulls on it.*facepalm*

Oh well. They should still keep the name, I'll find some way around it.

[Nickofsuburbia]

if they call it Awesome as Fuck they have to have some Denver stuff

Denver was probably the best show on the entire tour and theyre neglecting so many great things that happened on tour

its kind of a letdown really

still at the thought of another high-quality live performance is cool

i just hope they have some backstage stuff in bonus features or something because those always make the best quotes
