Green Day

[francric]

I saw them at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC last night. All I can say is what a show!!!!!!!!!! Took my daughter, we were about 25 feet from the stage and we had a blast!!!!!!!!! First time in a very long time I've been that close to a stage semi packed like a can of sardines. I try to usually get seats. You could feel the intense heat from the fire blasts and we got wet from Billly's super water gun. The best part about it was I entered a contest with xbox and won the tickets!!!!!!

i saw them back when they were here (sf) last november. ive always been a huge fan and theyve been my fav bad pretty much since i first heard em.

ive seen a bunch of times and was blown away with this latest tour of theirs.

my buddy Mike is currently playing 2nd guitar on a few of their songs per night and im trying to see if he can hook me up with some backstage passes etc when theyre back in sf next month.

i loved their cover of "we are the champions". if anyone wants a live mp3 of that song check here: http://www.garineh.com/music/wearethechampions.mp3

Phat, I noticed they had someone come out and play guitar with their other guitar player while Billy just ran around and sang. The dude had short brown hair. Was that your buddy? That's a pretty cool gig.

yup thats my buddy Mike. I met Mike thru Jesse Michaels, former singer of Operation Ivy. Jesse introduced us a few years ago b/c he thought our bands at the time would mesh well and we could play gigs together etc. Mike was in the Enemies (check out their CD Seize the Day off Lookout - its amazing) and i was in Resident13 (our band broke up the week we were getting signed )

So the Enemies broke up a few months ago Mike got the call from Billie Joe to play 2nd guitar on some songs for their European tour - then that got extended to the US tour as well.

Pretty sweet gig.

If you have the Fuse channel try n catch "green day live at irving plaza", you can see Mike playing St. Jimmy
