Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I wanted to break this off into it's own thread instead of trying to have two conversations in two threads about it. Quick run-down, at a recent U2 show, someone (Bono or Edge or someone in U2) mentioned that they were talking with Green Day and Metallica and that they wanted to play together (or something like that). Then an article came out talking about the "G3" meeting between the 3 bands. http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2011/06/09/the-time-when-u2-green-day-and-metallica-held-a-g3-summit-at-a16-video/ And we can assume (maybe incorrectly) that's what Billie Joe was talking about in his tweet A festival? With GD? It's my nail and your coffin pal.. Now, anyone feel free to correct me or add more detail as this is about the extent of my knowledge of this.
captain peroxide Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'll repost what I posted on Niki Lee's status earlier today. My favorite bands! And U2 as well!
bastard_0f1969 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I SUCK at idioms. I don't understand what Billie means.
Florence Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Wait, wait... it's gonna be a festival? with U2, Metallica and Green Day? oh, I see.
Sanity Loan Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 And wouldn't it be great if they collaborated on some tracks?
son Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 500 dollar nosebleeds to hear bono's annoying douchey tax-avoiding voice!
farley drexel hatcher Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Green Day yeah, Metallica sure, U2? ... nope. I honestly have no idea how it would work, personally. Ticket prices would be insane ...
Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 "Someone" Andres? His name is Bono I didn't know if it was him or the Edge, and I didn't wanna look it up. What little journalistic instinct I have I save for GDA posts
Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Wait, wait... it's gonna be a festival? with U2, Metallica and Green Day? oh, I see. We're just assuming (and maybe incorrectly) that these things are related. We don't really know what, if anything, is going on. Maybe they're friends and just wanted to hang out and everyone is flipping out about it. I don't know. And wouldn't it be great if they collaborated on some tracks? I'd be cool with that. As for seeing them at the same show...eh...
Scarlett93 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 that would be great!! but, where would it be at??
Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 that would be great!! but, where would it be at?? Maybe a private island in the pacific?
GreenRanger Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 We're just assuming (and maybe incorrectly) that these things are related. We don't really know what, if anything, is going on. Maybe they're friends and just wanted to hang out and everyone is flipping out about it. I don't know. In which case, is it normal for Bono to name everything like it's important? I mean like, was the bus ride away from the stadium that night called "The Alderaanian Voyage 302"? If not, then the "G3 Summit" might actually be important...especially since G is for Green Day, and 3 is for the number of bands at it.
Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Also, to add further speculation based on absolutely no fact whatsoever so please don't think I'm right - maybe Bille's tweet was his way of saying "no thanks". Or, maybe we're looking into this way too much and we're just gonna end up looking like dicks when they say "Uh...what?"
captain peroxide Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 They could do a live version of that Master of Puppets Brain Stew mashup that was posted a while back
uhleckseee Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'm fucking stoked for this. I've never been a huge fan of U2, but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to see them live with two of my favorite bands. Definitely going to be following this news to see where it goes. I didn't think Metallica liked Green Day. lol If they do, Oh my.....my dream show would be 2/3 complete!!!
GDLoT Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'd def try to go to an event like that. not that i could afford it but shit! Just hearing my two faves, Green Day & Metallica in the same room together made me moist.
justcause Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Also, to add further speculation based on absolutely no fact whatsoever so please don't think I'm right - maybe Bille's tweet was his way of saying "no thanks". Or, maybe we're looking into this way too much and we're just gonna end up looking like dicks when they say "Uh...what?" As I said in the other thread, it sounds like a challenge to me.
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 As long as they don't play The Saints are Coming ever again, I'm happy to see something happen. Billies tweet is confusing me though. "it's my nail, in your coffin" maybe he's implying that associating with Green Day would soil their reputation? Who knows, when does Billie ever make sense?
Scarlett93 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Maybe a private island in the pacific? hahhahahhaahha most likely hahhaha but I still want them to do a festival of only GD! like 3 days in a row of all their albums (a week) I remember that in an interview sb asked him about that
son Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 billie is reading this thread while laughing at Andres for being giddy like a schoolgirl
Zelda Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 GREEN DAY. AND METALLICA. And U2. If they end up doing a concert together...excuse me while I shit my pants.
Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 billie is reading this thread while laughing at Andres for being giddy like a schoolgirl Well, I'm not giddy. I just like this game of "what's true". I'm fine with him laughing at me because I started a topic about something that might not even be real. But, that's why I posted it here for you guys to discuss and find the facts - then I'll post about it on GDA when we know something for sure.
