Green Day: American Idiot

I saw them LAST NIGHT!!!! They were awesome! They sure know how to put on a show. I'll use spoilers for some of the things they did just incase they do the same things at other showings:
[/spoiler]It started out with a pink bunny coming out on stage acting drunk and getting the crowd ready with YMCA. Freakin hillarious. They did some really nice covers in the way of (not sure if these are actual titles) "We are the Champions" and "You Make Me Want to Shout". [/spoiler] If things are all the same and you go, be prepared to jump the gate or run for the doors if you are not on the floor because he called for about 400 people to be added to the floor that didn't have tickets for it. Then there was a bunch of other really cool things that they did as well.

BTW: Newfound Glory opened for them and they sucked my butthole. Even when there was a break in the musical part of a song, you still couldn't understand that SOB.

last night, i saw their new music video for "boulevard of broken dreams". loved it. good cinematography, locations, and suited the lyrics nicely. 👆 😎

I don't understand what you mean by that.

I'm glad you had a good time🙂

At the concert, there was 2 types of tickets: floor tickets and general admission. Floor is right in front of the band and thats where moshes and things like that are. GA is the seats that fill up the stadium. If you have GA on this tour, be prepared for Billie Joe to ask for about 400 more people to go down to the floor for free. You will have to be prepared to run to get in.

Thanks for explaining🙂Stupid me😛

If any of the seated people come to the pit then I'll probably start kicking people to save my own life lol.

Is it true that they pick some people and let them play one of their songs?

The only band I've seen that involved the fans actively was Deftones. They dragged some guy up on stage and let him sing. Saying that, I've seen em twice and they did that on one gig so I dunno if it was special treatment or not.

Nah they do that all the time. Always fun.

When I saw em in August they played American Idiot and previewed some songs from their album before it was released.

It was really cool to hear a bunch of songs for the first time LIVE and in person.

Also, that same gig they covered "I fought the law" which is a song they cover often but never loses it's coolness.

Green Day are superb. Incidentally, my fave American Idiot song erratically changes - mainly because every song is brilliant. As of right now, my fave-songometer is currently set to the fantastic Homecoming.

On the next album I would appreciate a couple of songs using more of Tre Cool's vocals. I love it in Homecoming when he takes over and starts singing "I play the shit out the drums, and I can play the guitar".

Yes they rule!!!

homecoming is great, tre cool is friggen awesome

They did do that and it was quite cool. The guy they got to be the guitarist was really good so Billie Joe let him keep the guitar.

Oh my God!!!!That's so cool. 😎 😄
But the only thing I can play is Macy's Day parade 😮

I can play most of Green Days songs, most of em kinda use the same patterns.

American Idiot is my most fun one to play at the moment. I had to trawl through several tabs in order to find the correct solo tab. Man, people that post on sites like MXTabs shouldn't be allowed near a guitar - most tabs there are just awful, and when they are right they are in the wrong key or something.

Oh I just got the Good Riddance tab from there.I don't really know if it's the right one. Do you know a place that has the correct tabs?

Some of them are right, but some can be way off.

I always read the comments that people make and if the tab doesn't get 100% positive feedback then I'll move on.

I think I have a Good Riddance tab, and I think every one I've had so far is wrong. I'll have to look around some more.

They ask who can play what and ask how many years experience you have. They then tell you what cords to play really quick and have you go at it.
