Heather. Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Hasn't this always been in the context of a concert? I mean, the dude made an Instagram account for his DOG. He can't hate technology too much. Yeah but it's also him being conscious now that he's "got off drugs and now I'm addicted to my cell phone" and that's not necessarily a good thing.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah but it's also him being conscious now that he's "got off drugs and now I'm addicted to my cell phone" and that's not necessarily a good thing. I dunno, it seems kind of joking to me. He's made the jokes about drugs several times at shows ("I wasn't even on drugs!" when he messes up) so I can't take the statements too seriously, nor do I want to. Although I agree that cell phones out at concerts 24/7 is irritating in the pit and has to be irritating from a performer's standpoint too.
Certified Nimrod Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 He often has reeled against "cell phones, computer screens," etc versus reality. I think he was talking about the things on the cell phones and computer screens, the news and stuff.
iScottie Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Billie contradicts himself alot take what he says at shows at face value I like when he says, "We're going to play ALL. NIGHT. LONG." And then they only play for 2 hours...
Guest Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 When has he ranted against technology on this tour? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkz1ArR6RDs From about 2.30
Certified Nimrod Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 From about 2.30 Oh. I listened to that before, but I couldn't understand him xD
Guest Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Oh. I listened to that before, but I couldn't understand him xD I was there, and kept thinking "YOUR DOG HAS A FUCKING INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT YOU TIT". Couldn't stop rolling my eyes for the whole thing, security probably thought I was off me face on meth or something.

Guest Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 It's not Billie's fault his dog made an Instagram account. This whole thing would have been solved if Steve Jobs had died before inventing the iPhone. Billie was right.
AngelBlue_ Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 From about 2.30 what does he say?? I cannot understand the whole thing :/
Guest Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 what does he say?? I cannot understand the whole thing :/ He mainly talks about how negativity from media is everywhere, and because of technology we can't escape it. He then compares technology to drugs, saying he quit one to become addicted to the other, and he's not sure which is worse.

fatherotti Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I like when he says, "We're going to play ALL. NIGHT. LONG." And then they only play for 2 hours... He's not in his 20's anymore, he's in his 40's, I don't think they have the energy for 4 hour shows anymore. Secondly depending on the location and the time they start playing, you also have to take noise curfews under consideration.
fatherotti Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Sorry to bump, but shouldn't this date be added to the NA 2013 section of "On the Road"? Green Day is performing here after all.

Guest Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Are we sure Billie Joe hasn't just dyed his hair again?
GDLoT Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 via Dreamforce's fb page: News: Blondie has officially been announced to join Green Day LIVE at the Dreamforce Gala, Tuesday, November 19th! Don't miss out on this incredible experience by registering for the conference, or by purchasing a UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital / Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland's 'The Concert for Kids Benefit' ticket here: http://www.theconcertforucsfbch.com/
JIGD13 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Sorry mods, it seems that this is the same event that Dreamforce announced already, I thought it was another thing sorry.
Guest Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 That's actually a pretty cool combination. Blondie dived into the punk realm for a while, and really got experimental with their music.
Todd Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 So this is a benefit for the hospital, and not some corporate conference?
MaraGreenDay Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 So this is a benefit for the hospital, and not some corporate conference? Yes, for what i know it's for the Oakland children's hospital Btw, Blondie and Green Day?!! This is so awesome!!!!
Laura! Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I completely forgot this was happening till the thread popped up again. Awesome to see it going to such a good cause.
