pouty bitch Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The Hyde Park show was amazing. The guys sounded better than ever. Billie's voice was even more beautiful than ever. It's probably my favourite show from the entire RevRad tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of clips from that show and they gave an amazing performance. They just seem to be getting better and better on this tour I'm glad I'm seeing them again towards the end.

I definitely felt that rawness when he sang Last Night on Earth at the show I went to, his voice sounded almost as if it was trembling, its a very gorgeous quality to his voice.

RedundantIdiot Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I will scream if we don't get a live DVD from this era. Their performances have been on point all tour. GD look great, they sound great, and they play with so much respect towards each other and they play with a genuine love of music. And I suspect a live DVD will lead to numerous pages in this thread.

Yeah, Sheffield was the only show on this tour that I could possibly attend and I tried so hard to get tickets, but sadly, I couldn't. I ended up keeping a close eye on the Sheffield show on the internet though and, although it broke my heart to see the excellent show that I missed out on, I'm so happy to see that they're still such amazing performers. They may be getting older, but they aren't letting that slow them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yeah it's definitely been a special atmosphere on this tour, they've been amazing every time I've seen them but Billie's so full of passion and absolutely on fire right now and they all seem to be loving what they do and have such great camaraderie. I mean all those things applied to other times I've seen them as well really , but it just seems even more so now. A live DVD would be fabulous!

herewegoagain Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Have to confess that for a short while as I was rediscovering the band back in nov/dec, youtubeing like crazy, I was really worried that I'd missed out on all the fun by not jumping on the stan train at an earlier stage (2005/2008). I thought sure they're still a good band but they're not as crazy or entertaining, they're getting old and playing it more safe now. Safe to say I couldn't be more wrong, they are better than ever and this is such a perfect era to be a part of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Everyone talks about GD embracing each other at the end of gigs, but I think it's sweet during Christie Road when Billie waves Mike over and they share the microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it doesn't top Hyde Park performance. Everything GD does in England is always better than in the rest of the world. But the Montreal's crowd (including myself) did manage to made him stop playing and say «OMG! This is really really beautiful» during Ordinary World.

Seriously though, Billie is a very complicated person and his posts since the end of the recent leg of the tour have reminded me that he is, for lack of a better term, an adrenaline junkie. I think it is very difficult for him to have down time. Instead of resting he's already psyching up for the next leg and planning for FBHT shows. It worries me a little, but hopefully when the tour ends he will go straight into prepping for the next album and/or working on the American Idiot movie. He needs to always have something happening. I agree with you. I mean, I saw some of recent photo of Rest of Guys is on vacation with their family or their wives but with Billie he sitting at home or wherever he is doing nothing and re-watching old Green day's video. He needed to get pump up again..he can't sit still for one second. 8 hours ago, IcyMoffatt said: I think you're talking about this video (around 2:11): Beautiful indeed!

He did that at my show The lights are so beautiful is Billie-language for "whooops I forgot the lyrics again". In January he said something like: "I forgot the lyrics! *silence* ugh oh the light's are so beautiful". Seems he perfected the routine since then. Glad he said that though. I wouldn't have looked behind my back if he didn't and the lights were really beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they end shows now is so sweet. It's kind of surprising they didn't have Mike and Tre come on to say goodbye all together at the end as a standard thing for so long, seems like the natural thing to do and it never did really feel right having them leave early and just Billie ending the show. Especially when the shows had become so well choreographed but then the ending was just him nipping off without anything to it. Glad they're finally doing it!

He needed to get pump up again..he can't sit still for one second. Billie Joe has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). He said it a couple of times in interview, like this in one: http://www.guitarplayer.com/artists/1013/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-once-again-proves-the-power-chord-is-king/61018 He said: «Yeah. I think of myself as basically a rhythm player. I like playing guitar solos, but, I don’t know—maybe I just have too much ADHD to focus on more than one animal at a time.» If it can give you an idea how it is in his head, it's like having a party all day long and everyday. (I have ADD, but thankfully not with hyperactivity!) (For extra information on ADHD or ADD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder It does explain a lot about Billie Joe's behaviour in general.)

I actually deal with people with ADHD a lot in my job and Billie could be a poster boy for it. I had missed his ever mentioning it though. When you watch him interviews it's obvious with the difficulty with direct eye contact andIt sometimes having trouble verbalizing or completing a thought. It can be advantageous as far as motivation and energy. The problems though are disorganization, not following through, etc. Fortunately Billie has a lot of people in his life who take care of that for him. As a side note, his son Joey has said in several interviews that he is ADHD and started playing drums as an outlet for all of his excessive energy.
