greendaytone Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This thread is not anti-american, it's anti-warrrrrrrr! Another request from the suggestions thread, brings us back to American Idiot for this Song Of The Moment. Discuss your thoughts on one of the songs that defined the album, here And my excuse for this being song of the moment is that it's summer time, and we're all gonna be on Holiday!

Katarina. Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 BANG BANG Holiday is one of my favorite songs off of American Idiot, and one of my favorite live songs. The way they played it on the last tour was just amazing! I have a day off today, so I kind of feel like I'm on Holiday, so that's nice, haha. As for the song. I love it, powerful lyrics, great music with it, yeah just awesome. I might write more about it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disapperingirl Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh my gooooooooood, 6 days to the school ending, so this week's song is very well-chosen!!! ...Holiday, one of the best song from American Idiot, I love it ...they mix a powerful sound with important political and anti-war references lyrics....and the part with Billie Joe's voice like through a megaphone is just amazing, ir reminds me California Uber Alles..."Zieg Heil to the president gasman, bombs away is your punishment!" Mhmm and don't forget the video!!! Awesome!!! Tre in that green glitter dress is so cute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lights Flash Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This song is amazing. It's definitely one of their top live songs, and it used to be my favorite Green Day song. I listened to this song hundreds of times, so I sometimes skip it nowadays, but it's still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecanoLP Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Not that good on American Idiot, but "Holiday" is a killer live. The bridge is one of the most powerful elements in their shows, especially with the pyro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasalaska Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I remember hearing Holiday on the radio just after it was released as a single, and not knowing who it was by. I'd always wait to the end to see if they would say the artist, and they never did, and I'd get so pissed off cause I loved it so much I think I may have ended up googling the words to try and find lyrics so I could then get the artist, but I couldn't understand what Billie was singinig some of the time, so I'd be googling the wrong lyrics I bought AI not long after that. It kinda kicked off my addiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undómiel Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I love Holiday! Such an awesome song because, well this only one reason, but it's not just Green Day fans that know the lyrics! It's good because when they play music at concerts whilst you waiting for the act, often Holiday is on there and it inspires huge singalongs from people who are there to see someone completely different. My friend said they played on CD when she went to see Muse in Manchester last year and she said it was literally as if GD themselves had walked on, so loud was the singing... Also love it because the video is quite possibly one of the raddest videos ever. Good job Sam Bayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeeeese Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I remember I hadn't heard Holiday until I got the American Idiot album... And I fell in love with it I was like, 12 rocking out to Holiday in my room with my parents thinking I was on crack. AND THEN! Like, 2 weeks ago I was listening to Holiday and my mom comes up to me and says "this is my favourite Green Day song!!!" and walks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_and_the_ave Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 My friend said they played on CD when she went to see Muse in Manchester last year and she said it was literally as if GD themselves had walked on, so loud was the singing... When I saw Muse at Wembley last year they played Holiday whilst we were waiting and everyone was singing along. It kind of made me wish I was seeing Green Day there again not Muse and my friend said 'omg I have to see Green Day live sometime' Anyway I love Holiday especially live with the 'bang bang' bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScatteredPictures Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh god, the first Green Day song I consciously listened to I have so much love for it. When I first heard it I wondered who this guy with the deep, pure voice was It was also the day I first googled Billie Joe Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllIWannaDoIs... Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Holiday was the first Green Day song I really listened to, I even remember the first time I heard it: listening to someone's mp3 in french class, way back in grade 7 (I find it so odd that I can remember a little moment like that ). It's the song that sparked my interest in Green Day, and is definitely my favourite off of American Idiot and has always been one of my top favourites. I remember watching the music video over and over again too. I thought it was pretty creative how they linked the video to the one for BOBD. I love hearing it live, but the 2 times I saw Green Day I was still startled at the BANG! BANG! part, even though I knew it was coming .Another paart I like about the live version is hearing the crowd yell back AMEN! I don't think I can pick a favourite lyric, I love Holiday from start to finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh god, the first Green Day song I consciously listened to I have so much love for it. When I first heard it I wondered who this guy with the deep, pure voice was And this song convinced me to get American Idiot. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it It has so much great energy, the music is amazing... I love it. And talking about songs that "give me the chills", in BIAB, after Billie says "This song is not anti-american, is anti-WAR!!!" and the the fireworks... My heart explodes of excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is a great, great song. I always listen to it when I play American Wasteland. Along with Put Your Quarter Up, Astro Zombies, Teenagers from Mars and Institutionalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica. Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 "Can I get another Amen'? There's a flag wrapped around the score of men." This would have to be my favorite line. It shows the irony of the right-wing/religiosity feeling justifying the war. It's really great to see one of the songs that I first listened to and have it actually mean something, ya know? It's also one of my favorite songs live, it's just so awesome to stand out in the crowd and really understand why I fell in love with Green Day in the first place.
