21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 So Green Day have been to the US, Europe, parts of Asia, Australia and South America... I have been living in Jordan in the Middle East for most of my teenage years, so I was wondering why the band has always avoided this region. Has the band ever mentioned anything about this issue? If yes, please update me. If no, what do you think are reasons for Green Day's absence? Are the ongoing conflicts in this region an issue? Or is it simply not worth it in terms of money? I know there are other parts in this world where Green Day hasn't been yet, but i know a lot of people here in Jordan who share my thoughts so I hope this is worth a topic...
Armageddon Flame. Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 It's not really up to the band themselves were they tour, its more their management that decides, they normally tour the areas where the record has sold really well, so they can sell out massive arenas and fill out their pockets. They probably haven't played in Jordan because of that reason, but the ongoing troubles in the Middle East are probably a big no no aswell( but my political knowledge tells me that Jordan is a very safe country, correct me if I'm wrong) You do have hope though, more and more bands are starting to tour in those regions, my 2nd favorite band, Placebo, played in Israel and Saudi Arabia on their last tour, I think might have played more places in that region, but I can't remember. I hope you do get to see Green Day in the future! Whether you have to travel abroad or they come to you, it will be an experience to remember!
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah to be honest I'm not even expecting them to come to Jordan (although it is quite safe you're right ), but there is quite a huge international community in eg. Israel or the United Arab Emirates, and last October a German punk band (Die Toten Hosen) played here in Jordan for some reason and there were a lot of people coming even though the band isn't really well known, so as a reflection of the whole region i can say that people are interested
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i don't think that they will ever come to any country in the middle east but they should try.i'm from Israel and you can't imagine how many fans they have here metalica and linkin park were here and they had a lot of fans in the concert you can't even believe it if you see !! and green day have more fans here if they come i'm sure that it will be great
Noy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i don't think that they will ever come to any country in the middle east but they should try.i'm from Israel and you can't imagine how many fans they have here metalica and linkin park were here and they had a lot of fans in the concert you can't even believe it if you see !! and green day have more fans here if they come i'm sure that it will be great yeah same i dont think they will come here a lot of bands were here and its suck that they r not coming too
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 i'm pretty sure on their next world tour they'll check out some new places at least, maybe we'll be lucky
Punx89 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I think that they don't decide where they wanna tour,their company makes this decision.They haven't come to greece either and I m sure that one concert here will be sold out,but..who knows...
Noy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i'm pretty sure on their next world tour they'll check out some new places at least, maybe we'll be lucky i dont think so but i hope
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i'm pretty sure on their next world tour they'll check out some new places at least, maybe we'll be lucky i wish they will come !! and if they will go to Jordan i will go there too i have been in Jordan lot of times. i'm sure that they will go to some country in here but that until the next tour
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 I think that they don't decide where they wanna tour,their company makes this decision.They haven't come to greece either and I m sure that one concert here will be sold out,but..who knows... yeah i agree, but with Green Day i generally mean their management too, i'm too lazy to write 'Green Day's management' every time and I welcome Greece to the unfortunate countries that havent experienced Green Day's awesomeness yet
Punx89 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 yeah i agree, but with Green Day i generally mean their management too, i'm too lazy to write 'Green Day's management' every time and I welcome Greece to the unfortunate countries that havent experienced Green Day's awesomeness yet .And I m pretty sure that we ll have a great gig here,better than Korea and Singapore,whatever...
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 .And I m pretty sure that we ll have a great gig here,better than Korea and Singapore,whatever... ya about Korea...Korea isn't safer than the middle east they are all crazy there at least at the middle east they can be sure that nothing will happen in the middle if the concert
Punx89 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 ya about Korea...Korea isn't safer than the middle east they are all crazy there at least at the middle east they can be sure that nothing will happen in the middle if the concert I agree with you..I think many bands have come in Israel right?Nothing ever happened right?but Israel is not for Green Day(my opinion)y'know all this palestinian issue and gaza I don't know....
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I agree with you..I think many bands have come in Israel right?Nothing ever happened right?but Israel is not for Green Day(my opinion)y'know all this palestinian issue and gaza I don't know.... there is a lot of bands that came to here and it was awesome!! and palestinian issue isn't dangerous all the time at the moment there is nothing and the concerts are far away from the problems that happen so there is nothing to be afraid from. linkin park were here a lot of times and nothing happened and the people here are great don't make troubles
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 I agree with you..I think many bands have come in Israel right?Nothing ever happened right?but Israel is not for Green Day(my opinion)y'know all this palestinian issue and gaza I don't know.... Yeah...you see you can't really say Israel belongs to the Middle East, i mean geographically yes, but in reality sadly its not as easy...so speaking in terms of Green Day, if they would ever play in Israel, then I would advise them to play one show in an Arab country too, just to avoid conflicts....

Punx89 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 there is a lot of bands that came to here and it was awesome!! and palestinian issue isn't dangerous all the time at the moment there is nothing and the concerts are far away from the problems that happen so there is nothing to be afraid from. linkin park were here a lot of times and nothing happened and the people here are great don't make troubles Yeah...you see you can't really say Israel belongs to the Middle East, i mean geographically yes, but in reality sadly its not as easy...so speaking in terms of Green Day, if they would ever play in Israel, then I would advise them to play one show in an Arab country too, just to avoid conflicts.... I don't know guys,I wish you to see GD live in your countries,cause this is what I want too,but we have to say that it is difficult for you and for me too.let's wait and see,you can travel abroad to see them live,it's a nice solution...
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I don't know guys,I wish you to see GD live in your countries,cause this is what I want too,but we have to say that it is difficult for you and for me too.let's wait and see,you can travel abroad to see them live,it's a nice solution... ya that's what I'm gonna do !!
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 but if they played here you can come !! and i don't know how many fans they have in other country but in Israel they have too much fans yes i could come and i certainly would. but i have a German passport, that makes it easier for me to enter and exit Israel as for someone with a Jordanian passport who is planning to visit countries such as Syria in the future who have a less friendly status towards Israel as Jordan... so speaking for the majority of Arabs, they'd be quite hesistant to go to Israel i believe :/
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 yes i could come and i certainly would. but i have a German passport, that makes it easier for me to enter and exit Israel as for someone with a Jordanian passport who is planning to visit countries such as Syria in the future who have a less friendly status towards Israel as Jordan... so speaking for the majority of Arabs, they'd be quite hesistant to go to Israel i believe :/ i don't know why you are so scared to come to here if you are an Arabic!! the people are all great here they will do nothing to you !!
21st Century Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 i don't know why you are so scared to come to here if you are an Arabic!! the people are all great here they will do nothing to you !! i know, but sadly a lot of Arabs still feel like Israel is their enemy...:/ but anyway this is going slightly off topic, we should discuss politics elsewhere ;-)
fadi_7 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i know, but sadly a lot of Arabs still feel like Israel is their enemy...:/ but anyway this is going slightly off topic, we should discuss politics elsewhere ;-) haha right !! but our biggest problem now is that they will go back on tour when they will release their next album and until they do we will be without green day !! but when they do i might go to Europe to see them there doesn't matter where in Europe !!
Noy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 haha right !! but our biggest problem now is that they will go back on tour when they will release their next album and until they do we will be without green day !! but when they do i might go to Europe to see them there doesn't matter where in Europe !! yeah
