no why? I think Bullet in a Bible is good, only the black & white parts are a bit annoying

and zooming in and zooming out and the fading in and fading out etc. etc. It's not a concert movie, it's Sam Bayer showing off. I really don't think it was well directed. Plus, you can't skip the backstage scenes, after watching it three times, I don't want to watch the interviews again, just the concert.

Ahhh yes. I'm not alone. :woot:

No, you're not(, we're partners in crime :P ). And John Roecker apperently isn't either. He posted a status on facebook how he hated it, because it was a shit DVD and, on top of it, delayed the release of HLAHG.

No, I loved it as well --- And I seriously don't understand all the hate Same Bayer gets from Green Day fans, because pretty much all of his work is fucking stellar.

It's not hate, I actually enjoy BOBD and Holiday music video, just BIAB is fucked up, I just think in it you can see his arrogance.

BIAB is a good DVD, but not as great as it should. I hate the fact that Sam can NEVER get Billie's face right in the first shot of the interviews :lol: And I don't remember which song was, but you can see bits of a different song there :blink:

I really like BIAB, I love how it's not like your average concert dvd. I think Sam made it into more of a movie about the concert rather than a recording of the concert, if that makes any sense.

I do agree with the whole 'feeling his arrogance' do :lol: He loves himself and it comes across in the movie really clearly but it doesn't really bother me too much.

I don't know what to think of Sam Bayer. I love the American Idiot, Holiday and BOBD videos, September is one big mistake, only the Green Day parts are nice, and on JOS I still haven't made up my mind. It's a cool video, for sure, but it doesn't reflect the meaning and hugeness of the song. Although I suppose that if you did make a video that has that (which would be really really hard), it might not work. And BIAB... the part about him filming it is just 'no go away you're arrogant', and I don't like that you can't skip the interviews, but for the rest, I really like it. It's, like Ellen said, not just a recording or video from the concert, it's a movie. I like the b/w effects and the zooming and stuff (although sometimes it gets a little too much).

It's only boring because it's unfinished, though --- I guess you could say I can kinda see past the unfinished part of it.

Surely you can see how much potential it's got! Plus, she's gorgeous as fuck, sooo ...

That said, I have decided you guys are just jelly 'cause Whatsername's so pretty. :sleep:

Just curious, why do you like it?

I suppose that if you somehow invision a finished product with parts of this in it, it could be good, because showing parts of it could be quite cool, for lack of a better word, but still. I don't get the drunk kinda slutty girl swaying about. It's not really got much to do with Whatsername, both the song and the character (of course you don't know what happens to her after she leaves, but this sure isn't what *I* had in mind).

Keep in mind Green Day also let Samuel produce and create BIAB. But a highlight... it was nice to see another side of Green Day. True, there was an overabundance of close up's and unsteadiness, but if you try to ignore that and focus on the additional detail it provided, it was a fun watch.

what kind of bill larence pickup did Billie have in Blue back in the 90's?

Posted

I know it was a humbucker ha, I just wanted to know what the name of it is but thank you for answering :D

yo no problem

Am I the only one who loves Bullet in a Bible, interviews, behind-the-scenes, black & white shots, slow-motion, and everything else? :ninja:

I could kiss the DVD.

I love the shit out of BIAB, but there are some parts that really grate me. Like Sam clearly rehearsed them. Like Billie standing there knocking on the bomb before Holiday. That irked the hell out of me.

Oh my god this :lol:

With BIAB I like the content but dislike the way it's put together. It's easy to ignore the annoying aspects of how it was directed and enjoy the band performing, talking and playing around very much :happy:

I think Sam Bayer is conceited as fuck, but a lot of artists are. I think he did a good job with it. I really like all the quick shot changes and the aerials and bits in black and white.

Posted

I really do love the way the footage of BIAB is cut but I wish there was the option to watch just the concert footage without the talking bits.

I was wondering if you guys knew if there's any Green Day memorabilia in some Hard Rock Café?

I just found that picture

GrnDaySigSer_DT1.jpg

But I don't know how old it is....

I'm pretty sure that that's a shirt you could buy (in the HRC's, I suppose), not something "hanging on the wall"/memorabilia (is there a singular form of that word?). At Pinkpop there were two German girls in front of us who were wearing those shirts.

I received a book called

"Green Day: american idiots & the new punk explosion" by Ben Myers

Does anyone know if this is any good?

A while ago I posted something in here about fame.nl having something called "Green Day - Around the World" up for release on the 19th. A couple of days ago I got an answer on what it is, or rather, what it isn't. I always forget to check my email, so sorry for the delay, haha.

Hoi Sanne,

Ik heb het nog even voor je nagekeken, maar het is mij op dit moment echt een raadsel waar deze info vandaan komt. Er is geen sprake van een nieuwe release voor zover ik heb kunnen nagaan.

Mijn oprechte excuses voor het ongemak!

Met vriendelijke groet,

Wulfien Kaatee

FAME

What it says it that she has no idea how that info got there and that, as far as she knows, there is no new release.

So idk where it came from, but Green Day - Around The World doesn't exist xD

Nice of her to reply again, but Fame definitely fails with this. :lol:
