So I finally saw Green Day,
like I mentioned in a previous blog. And Jesus
Christ, it was the greatest thing ever.
Okay, well it's no secret My Chemical Romance is
my all-time favorite band, but I have to admit(and
how much, I hate to admit,) Green Day puts on a
hell of a lot better of a show than MCR did when I
saw them. I mean, this show had freakin' fireworks.
FIREWORKS. And not to mention, controversial
pictures of Jesus Christ himself(Like, seriously.
You had to have been there to know what I'm talking
about. They are controversial, I'll just
leave it at that.)
The show was probably three or four hours, but I
couldn't really tell since the whole time I was
dancing my ass off. And I wasn't even on the floor!
I'm actually happy I wasn't on the floor, because
if I was, considering how much my body is in
pain now, I wouldn't be able to move XD I remember,
I ran into Sam during "St. Jimmy" because I was
going too crazy... I almost fell over the people in
front of me's seats. Yeah, it was fucking awesome.
And, I mean, I hate to say it again, but it was
phenomenal! That's the only word I can use to
describe it. Well, I guess I can also say I
thoroughly enjoyed it.
As Billie Joe always does, there would be parts in
the song where he stops singing, and will tell the
crowd, "I say heyyyy-oh!" and the crowd will chorus
back to Billie with glee, "heyyyy-oh!" Also, one
time, he hit like, the longest note ever. I think
it was as long as Whitney's in "I Will Always Love
You". I swear, it was like,
"heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-ohhhhhhh!"
Yup. And I sang back the entire thing without
losing my breath :D
There were so many times where I felt like I was on
the floor, or the only one in the arena, and
whatever other cheesy metaphor that's appropriate.
And, guess what? THEY PLAYED EVERY SINGLE SONG I
WANTED THEM TO PLAY<3 That made me really happy.
When they were about to play "American Eulogy",
Billie said, "Okay, one more tonight!" and they
played it. I went insane, but was slightly upset
they were "done". I mean, they hadn't even played
"American Idiot" or "Minority" yet! You can't go to
a Green Day concert, and not hear "American
Idiot"! But, as soon as they left the stage, the
lights stayed off, except for the flashy Green Day
logo, which alternately flashed "Green" and "Day",
causing the crowd to shout their name to drag them
back up on stage, to play another ten songs. And,
of course, "American Idiot" was the first they
played when they got back up there, just like "Good
Riddance(Time of Your Life)" was the last one they
played.
And you know, even if it isn't my favorite song(but
definitely top five, and besides, I don't even know
my favorite Green Day songs;they're all great), no
other song gets me more pumped than "Minority". The
entire song, I was punching my fists in the air,
and headbanging, and singing along. Well, that was
every song, but I think "Minority" or "American
Eulogy" or "St. Jimmy"... or you know, I'm not even
going to bother;
I WENT INSANE EVERY SONG.
But, oh my god, that concert was freakin' sweet.
Even better than MCR's show.(It still is hard to
say that, but not impossible.)
