Pixus Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I really hope that it's something not very serious! He should get well soon! Man, I've been feeling quite low already and this is sad. Get well soon Beej.
Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I hope its a rumor and the concert happens It will be disappointing if its cancelled. I highly doubt they'll play anyway...they'll surely keep him in the hospital until they're sure he's totally okay, so until tomorrow... Hope to hear something from the GDcers who are there soon!

Pixus Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 It would be terrible if they cancelled the show but I'm more concerned about Billie. I really hope that this is minor and that he gets well soon and is all pumped up with energy by tomorrow! What makes me worry more is that he's 40
Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah lets wait and watch then. I texted elisa who is there, even though I somehow doubt they'll know something more...
Nemo. Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 but it's terrible for all the italian fans out there who are going to see gd
Ritz Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I texted elisa who is there, even though I somehow doubt they'll know something more... Let us know if you get any information !

If this is true I'm sure there must have been an announcement of some sort about Green Day not playing or something like that !
Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 If this is true I'm sure there must have been an announcement of some sort about Green Day not playing or something like that ! ...you don't know the Italian information and news media
Ritz Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Green Day We sincerely apologize to our fans, but unfortunately due to illness Billie Joe has been hospitalized, and we regretfully must cancel our performance in Bologna, Italy this evening. We are beyond devastated and will make it up to you when we come back next summer. Mike and Tre explain: http://bcove.me/ky3ch73l
Nemo. Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 the sadness is written in their faces but billie has to get better, that's the most important thing
Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 http://greenday.com/news/message-green-day-44196 It's on their website too...Mike and Trè have been so nice, I hope next time they'll come here nothing will go wrong! And hopefully Billie will get better very soon and go back playing on stage for the other dates
Starred Thoughts Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Hoping that Billie gets better. <3 Thoughts are with him, I'm sure he will pull through this.
Zelda Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I doubt it's anything serious. Billie is a bamf, he'll get over it. Sucks that the show had to be cancelled, though.

lost_rock_star1972 Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS? It's freaking me out and need more info on what's really going on here!! In regards to Green Day recording a censored version of UNO, etc. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/melissa-webster/green-day-walmart-censorship_b_1844276.html

In regards to Green Day recording a censored version of UNO, etc. http://www.huffingto..._b_1844276.html There's a thread for talking about the censored version of Uno here, with LOTS of discussion about it lol, and that article's already been posted there. Check it out.
Cris. Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS? It's freaking me out and need more info on what's really going on here!! In regards to Green Day recording a censored version of UNO, etc. http://www.huffingto..._b_1844276.html Relax, it's probably nothing serious. And the whole "clean" version of ¡Uno! and everything... well I find it quite upsetting, I agree with most of what this journalist wrot,e as much as I hate to admit it. This bit especially: And then it became apparent that Green Day was also making available both a "clean" version of each album in the trilogy (to distribute through Walmart, though not exclusively) and an uncensored version of each album (which will presumably be sold elsewhere). Not only does this completely fly in the face of the stance Green Day took only three years ago against censoring their music for Walmart specifically, but it's since been revealed that it isn't even a matter of simply muting out the profanity. Green Day actually went into the studio and recorded alternate versions of some of the songs. So, in essence, they cleaned their own music for Walmart. The most surprising complete turnaround occurred last week, when Green Day's official YouTube channel released a clean version of the flagship "American Idiot" music video and removed the uncensored one. To be clear: The uncensored "American Idiot" video is gone. They also released a new, censored version of the American Idiot album, to be sold through various retailers. Going back into the catalogue to clean up American Idiot is especially egregious considering even the profanity and particularly offensive words have political connotations. The lyrics "the subliminal mindfuck America" have been changed to "the subliminal mind____ America." The word "mindfuck" carries the meaning of an attack on the mind by way of propaganda that has turned Americans into idiots. It's the core of the entire song. To take away the profane aspect of that one word completely changes the entire meaning and tone of the song itself and the political impact that inspired Americans in a time of turmoil. The self-deprecating lyrics "maybe I am the faggot America" have been changed to "maybe I am the ______ America." While the former reveals the writer's own admittance to possibly being the problem for not going along with the status quo, the latter says nothing at all. I can put up with Green Day putting out a bad song, a bad video, an entire bad trilogy (not saying it is, just saying that I'd be able to quickyl get over the fact). But I really do like some integrity from the people I admire, and this is the first time ever that Green Day's action actually do totally reek of "sold-out". Sorry, but I had been holding this in for some time now because I know a lot of people here will lapidate me for saying this.
San Miguel Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Couldn't find this on here and may be talking rubbish anyway. My little sis reckons that x factor is giving away 2 tickets to a Green Day gig in Canada as part of a large prize that includes a holiday in the Maldives, etc.. When i look on their site it actually says Justin Beiber (!!!!) but my little sis reckons that is a different prize and she's not usually one to get things wrong. If it's true I'll be interested to know when as i can't remember hearing anything about the N America tour for a while
WorryRock02 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 i can't belive...it's just happened again... here in italy we miss last green day's show in 2010 beacause of a storm...and now again...however i hope billie will get well soon
sampy Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 There's an article on Rolling Stone's website called Nine Ways Musicians Actually Make Money Today and Green Day is listed as one example: Low CD sales have prevented artists from making as much money off publishing royalties as they used to – but licensing fees from movies, commercials and TV shows from The O.C. to Breaking Bad have picked up some of the slack. One top music-business source estimates that Green Day made hundreds of thousands of dollars by licensing "99 Revolutions," from their upcoming album !Tre!, for the end-credits of the recent Will Ferrell-Zach Galifianakis political farce The Campaign. You can read the full article here: http://www.rollingst...ensing-19691231 Edit: I didn't search last few pages so I don't know if this have been posted already
