Khaleesi. Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I hope you're kidding, Carling. (rhymes!) haha, no! i even dug out jaymees post in the ottawa thread Funny story: When he chose Carling, he originally pointed to her boyfriend Will. Then he looked at Carling and said 'I know you! No yeah! No come on up! Get your ass up here!' That, judging by the sheer amount of GDCer's getting pulled up during every single show...I'd say that the boys definitely have an account here and creep who's going to what show.
Wet socks traumatize me Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 haha, no! i even dug out jaymees post in the ottawa thread Ok so, I must admit that is kinda creepy. HAHA. But, were you front row at antoher show? Maybe he just recognized you? That's strange. He wouldn't have said " I KNOW YOU!" haha. shit. but. that'd be cool if they knew who was going to what show haha. even if it's kinda impossible.

Wet socks traumatize me Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 You met them? how the f... I'm sure they visit the forum a little though. I don't know if they realize how freaky we are.

I don't know if they realize how freaky we are. i was out behind the arena near where the tour buses come out. then tre ran out with the ottawa senators goalie's hockey stick, and he was asking how to use it haha. then the others came out.

Isabel Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 It's not always Billie Joe who picks the fans. Quite often Tre will choose the kid for EJN and Mike participates in choosing someone for Longview. Mike signalled Billie Joe to pick me for Longview because I had a big sign saying "I can sing Longview!" and, aside from everyone around me pointing in my direction, I was almost crying in desparation
lastnightonGDA Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 i was in seats the first time i saw them, haha. i did meet them after the show, but i doubt he'd remember that. maybe they stalk the forum you should've asked him how he knows you. He'd be like, "oh, yknow, we stalk GDC, we go by lastnightonGDA on there yknow! I MEAN, UHHH, YKNOW, STAGE DIVE, GET OFF MY STAGE BITCH, YKNOW" I think it would've gone like that. Give or take a few 'yknow's.

Burnout98 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I think he picks them out by looks as well. Or the person who is singing loud and enjoying themselves. Or the person screaming, "PICK ME BILLIE!!!!" followed by a series of high pitched screams.
Mar Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I think he tries to guess who will be excited enough to do it and not be crazy and attack him or something.
Freezing Melons Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I went up for Know your Enemy, and it might have been a lucky chance with eye contact. I had nothing special, curly hair, but thats my normal hair ahah. I'm pretty short as well, so it was pure luck i guess. But he just looked in the crowd and we locked eyes for a good three seconds, he kept that connection and pointed at me, and signalled me to get up on stage. It was unreal, but i don't think i was doing anything special.
heyohbilliejoe Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 he picks people with mohawks/coloured hair/funny costumes etc. cos they've obviously made an effort (not necissarily with hair, but definitely with costumes) and i swear he brings up the super crazy people. so if you're really enthusiastic. i haven't been pulled up, but a lot of people who have have said they had a feeling they were going to be pulled up. so he must have his eye on certain people from reasonable early on and act like its random me thinks
pasalaska Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 It varies from song to song, but the majority of the time he picks the most passionate, most enthusiastic people (which includes familiar faces from multiple shows) You can see him in the live shows, scanning the audience from the moment they all get on stage, connecting with people, watching reactions, finding familiar faces. While yes, having crazy outfits or hair or a sign can help, at the end of it, it's usually the most enthusiastic, ready-to-be-on-stage people that make the signs or wear the stupid hats/outfits. I got picked for Longview because all my friends around me (who had already been on stage throughout the Aussie tour) were pointing at me and screaming for him to pick me. He knew our little group at that stage. Obviously it's a bit different from song to song, like for EJN, Billie Mike and Tre look for the youngest kid, or the most enthusiastic younger kid there is in the audience. For KYE, Billie always chooses a male fan that will know the words (so they can do the 'oh-wey-oh-wey') Longview/Knowledge/JOS is always varied from show to show. The only common factor between the chosen is their knowledge of the songs and their passion for the music (but even then, he'll still pick people who don't know the words )
Pedestrian9394 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I think it's a combination of convenience, like who would be easiest to pull up, and who has been showing the most enthusiasm. ;D
bat-chen Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I think he tries to guess who will be excited enough to do it and not be crazy and attack him or something. The security people are helping with that What I want to know, is what happend to the people after they doing stage diving? are they arrive to the same place they were before or to a random place? my sister and I laughed about it that they carry to outside the area.
-Billiejoezee- Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I think the ones that stand out the most.
AndrewW91 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 People he'd like to shag, most likely. Someone had to say it... If that were the case. I'd have been chosen each time.
Cym Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 me and my sister maintain that he's attracted to shiny things, as she had loads of pyramid studs on her vest when she got picked ^_^
Iminyourcoffeemaker Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 He picks me everytime....Im a shape shifter of course.
in_your_face Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Well, if you observe carefully, people mostly GIRLY GIRLS who look sexy are being picked by Billie. WHY THE HELL WOULD HE PICK A GIRL WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE LYRICS OF LONGVIEW BUT PRETEND TO BE KNOWING IT AND CAN'T JUMP OFF THE STAGE? I always get annoyed by the fact that Billie is prefering girls to boys!

solongfromthestars Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I just remembered actually, I nearly got picked to play Knowledge in Birmingham even though I was miles away from the stage because I was waving a poster around. That was before they started remembering me, so I guess being noticeable really helps.
unexplainedbacon Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Mabye Billie joe spins a wheel before the show for who to pick...like "wearing clothes" "is a human" ..
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 What I want to know, is what happend to the people after they doing stage diving? are they arrive to the same place they were before or to a random place? my sister and I laughed about it that they carry to outside the area. Well, I didn't stagedive, but security brought me back to the exact spot I was before. He even motioned and pushed people away to make place for me, haha. Go Eddie! xD Well, if you observe carefully, people mostly GIRLY GIRLS who look sexy are being picked by Billie. WHY THE HELL WOULD HE PICK A GIRL WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE LYRICS OF LONGVIEW BUT PRETEND TO BE KNOWING IT AND CAN'T JUMP OFF THE STAGE? I always get annoyed by the fact that Billie is prefering girls to boys! I never noticed that and I don't think that's the case either. Well, maybe he does pick slightly more girls than boys for longview, but I never noticed an out of proportion amount of sexy girls or anything like that. Also, you can't exactly see if someone knows the lyrics, haha.
