8/18/2005 5:42:00 PM

8/24/2005 12:13:39 PM

8/24/2005 12:28:49 PM

8/24/2005 12:29:14 PM

8/24/2005 3:16:32 PM

I got invited to go for free, but I said no.

8/24/2005 3:26:03 PM

if i wanted to hear three chords for two hours i'd go drop in on guitar lessons for beginners

LOL

8/24/2005 3:40:56 PM

8/24/2005 3:49:16 PM

8/24/2005 3:53:52 PM

I want to go

8/24/2005 4:07:34 PM

FUCKING AWESOME show. I was only going because my roommate got two free tix (even though I like green day). but they rocked the fuck outta that joint. those dudes are true pros.

8/25/2005 9:39:25 AM

i asked a girl to go
but she said she'd never heard of them
how cool is that

8/25/2005 9:52:06 AM

thats awesome...you found a good woman!

8/25/2005 9:53:38 AM

so I went to your room and read your diary!

8/25/2005 10:10:11 AM

she's half japanaese

8/25/2005 10:12:29 AM

doWAP

8/25/2005 10:32:00 AM

Back in May my mom won the tickets from 96.1 and told me to take my 16 year old sister. They were for the floor, but being comp tickets I thought they'd be in the back or something not realizing that the floor was one open area without chairs. We were like 30 feet from the stage and it was AWESOME! They really know how to perform for the crowd and not just give a live CD. Also, while Jimmy Eat World may not be mainstream enough for some of your tastes they really played their hearts out and gave a great performance.

Best part of the concert (since I had seen some of the other things before) was when he said "Fuck You to all the rednecks"

8/25/2005 10:41:38 AM

you know it must have been good since there's 3 threads about this

8/25/2005 11:15:25 AM

bttt....YAY FOR POP PUNK!

8/25/2005 11:51:38 AM

green day has moved beyond the pop punk. the new album is straight up rock

8/25/2005 11:58:26 AM

I do think it's interesting how people say Blink 182 is over the hill and I am pretty sure they haven't been together as long as Greenday has. I also applaud them for having the guts to come to such a red state and giving the Bush Administration and hicks the middle finger. But maybe I underestimate the "punk rock" population in NC.

8/25/2005 12:01:57 PM

they are such fags

8/25/2005 12:06:53 PM

i think the reason people say blink is over the hill is due to lack of new or exciting material and not in reference to their age or how long they've been together

8/25/2005 12:14:03 PM

the new album is straight up rock their worst yet

8/25/2005 12:25:11 PM

^ millions seem to disagree

8/25/2005 12:37:05 PM

millions also buy hillary duff records, whats your point?

8/25/2005 12:38:17 PM

that its not their worst album

8/25/2005 12:40:55 PM

I saw them live 4 years ago.


Worst. Concert. Ever.

8/25/2005 12:40:58 PM

their new album is solid, that's all there is to it.

I've probably seen as many concerts as anybody in here, including the pixies and interpol TWICE just this year among many others, and this was a stellar live show that is up there if not better than any of em. green day isn't my favorite band by any means, but I respect em and the show was great.

8/25/2005 12:42:01 PM

^^ I have never seen you make a positive statement.

^ I found it to be about 85% garbage. Then again I'm not a big Green Day fan at all, primarily because I hate punk music. If Jimmy Eat World would've been the primary band last night, I would've gone without hesitation.

8/25/2005 12:48:06 PM

fair nuff

8/25/2005 12:49:11 PM

jimmy eat world was alright. they opened for green day about 3 years ago and were terrible. they've definitely gotten a lot better

maybe you should stop seeing shitty live bands then.

8/25/2005 12:50:40 PM

wow, interpol and the pixies were two of the greatest shows i have ever been to (the first interpol show in ashville was much, much better than the one in raleigh though, we both would agree). i understand what you're saying about the live show aspect of it. hell, i would say that blink 182 put on one hell of a show 4 or 5 years ago when they had that giant flaming "fuck" sign behind them, ha.

^dude, go jam out to some fucking string cheese incident or something


^^and yeah, the pixies and interpol shows were awesome. as were the shins and the badly drawn boy show at the cat's cradle. I love all those bands much more than green day. I'm just saying that green day rocked the place last night. as far as a live show goes, it was one of the better ones I've seen this year.

[Edited on August 25, 2005 at 1:55 PM. Reason : .]

8/25/2005 1:51:08 PM

they (string cheese) suck just as bad.

listen, before you get you panties all in wad, let me just say that im necessary saying that interpol, green day, or the pixies put on a bad show. im just saying that the rest of the shows youve been to much suck if you think they are some of the best live shows out there.

ive seen green day and the pixies before...i had a good time, but they by no means are up there as some of the best shows ive been to. they were entertaining, but neither one can claim to be known for their live performances.

thats all im saying.

[Edited on August 25, 2005 at 1:56 PM. Reason : df]

8/25/2005 1:55:48 PM

^ and what amazing live shows have you been to?

8/25/2005 2:12:58 PM

I've been to green day before too. THIS SHOW was a better show. Interpol in asheville was awesome. interpol in raleigh was just ok. pixies in raleigh was amazing, but just because it was the pixies. it's not like they did anything special. this was just a very good live show last night. I'm not sitting here saying that green day is the best band in the land or anything. but it was a very good live show.

also, I never said it was the best live show ever. Just best live show I've seen recently.

[Edited on August 25, 2005 at 2:24 PM. Reason : .]

8/25/2005 2:22:51 PM

I always love the argument that NEW BAND puts on a better show than OLD BAND. Just remember, in 5-10 years, assuming NEW BAND survives, you will be going to see them and raving about the show. And you can bet someone younger than you will come up and talk about the shitty show you went to.

I was there last night and thought that green day was great. It was fun, interactive and most importantly the music was awesome.

why people continue to argue over opinions is beyond me...

8/25/2005 3:01:27 PM

^ good point

8/25/2005 3:02:23 PM

^^no it is NOT beyond you

8/25/2005 3:05:44 PM

no, it really is.

(ps- your opinion sucks)

Haha. I remember that. It was awesome.

8/25/2005 6:38:07 PM

yeah blink was good but i remember green day stealing that show

8/25/2005 7:10:50 PM

that was even the same show....

WTF? American Idiot is probably the best album they've ever put out (and before this one, I would've given that honor to Kerplunk). It's the only cohesive album they've ever written, for one thing.

They haven't really moved away from punk, though--they slightly left the pop punk world by turning the album into a political statement, but they've retained the three-power-chord style.
