Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod in 3 or 4 years was one hell of a run.
1994 was a hell of a year for music.
Got to meet Billie Joe one time after a concert the summer of 2002. Green Day opened for Blink 182. At the time I thought I was too good to enjoy a Blink show so my gf at the time and I dipped. We were walking to our car and I saw the bus and thought we should walk by . You never know. I remember her even saying ‘you think you’re going to see Billie Joe but you’re not.’
Anyway, he was there with his wife playing with sparklers with his kids. This dude is why I ever even picked up a guitar. I was in shock. For me it wasn’t even star struck. But he was influential to me.
Anyway, the last thing I remember is his wife pointed over at us, he turned around and walked over to us to which I said ‘hey I see your with your family right now and we don’t want to interrupt anything, but you’re the reason I ever picked up a guitar so thank you.’
My gf was a bit more coherent but also a bit shocked. I was told we talked for 10 minutes... I could relate to Troy Barnes meeting LeVar Burton.
He signed my shirt and shook my hand. Apparently I told him he was taller than imagined.
Anyway, I remember getting my senses walking away to my car and apparently I damn near collapsed/geeked out. My gf told me to kee it together because he was still watching. And he was.
Damn what a day. I still have that shirt.
Edit: I can’t type on an iPhone.
The video thumbnail made me feel 14 again. Thanks. :)
I used to sit and watch MTV praying that this video would come on.
This was the first cd I ever owned, I saved and bought this and Nirvana Unplugged with my hard earned allowance money. Up until then I only had cassettes. Funny thing is I had a cd player for a while, but tapes were like $12 and CD's were closer to $20.
Stimulant-abusing age Green Day made some absolutely fantastic albums. Just saw them two or three years ago live and they still put on an amazing show
Song about Billie Joe Armstrong's panic disorder. As someone with anxiety disorder myself, the first lines and chorus are very recognisable. Great song!
Very fun bass line
