    I hope you go to it!!! O.O BILLIE WAS AWESOME <333333 XD Omg >> Another teeny moment...>>;; XD I'll be posting a review soon, many swears and crudness! XD

    Okay I just wrote a review for GDA so I'll post it...don't mind the...crudeness XD

    Allright, this is my review for the Gillette Stadium concert?I?m still a bit?psyched out from it, so I?ll try and remember all I can for you guys. Before I talk about the actual concert, I thought I?d share with you guys a few cool things that happened to me that night?
    So unlike everyone else who drove to the concert, I walked there, being the interesting person I am. Me and my dad (yeah, sadly he had to go with me) were walking along and I said "Dad...you think we'll see the Green Day tour bus?" and he said "Eli, the south pole will melt before that happens" I got kinda annoyed, but I didn?t lose that much hope...5 minutes later...I look behind us and I just start staring?I just stayed like that until my dad realized what I was looking at. And there lo and behold, was the tour bus. I was too shocked to wave, but I saw Billie and Tre?.I then ranted the whole way to the concert about how I saw the tour bus, and got extremely hyper?So we got to our seats and such.
    There were these screens on the sides of the stage, and before the concert you could text message to them and they?d show up on the screen. So...a lot of messages were directed to Billie. But everyone kept spelling his name wrong, which was really ticking me off. So I heard these girls in the row in front of me go "Does no one understand that spelling his name wrong sucks!?" So I said "...I agree with you guys completely"
    Then this one girl turns around and is like "Really? Cool! You know, I met Tre at a hotel!? That kinda freaked me out?because I met a girl online who said she met Tre at a hotel?so I was totally dumbfounded but I didn?t say anything...I IMed the girl, and it turns out it was her! So I showed my friend from Sweden the convo I had with the girl and he said "...I heard you talk! Yeah!?
    I got very confused?it turned out he was at the same concert, and he was in the same section as me! Then I asked him what he was wearing...and he said black...he also said that ?some girl? in front of him was screaming like mad and wouldn?t shut up?I felt so bad because of that?it totally gave it away that it was me?I was one of the louder people in my section?so it?s cool that I met 2 people from online?lol.
    Okay, I?ll stop my ranting and get onto the concert!
    So then at 7, Against Me! started playing?I only know one of their songs but they weren?t that bad. Unfortunately I had to hear my dad complain about how loud they were the whole time?it wasn?t that loud if you ask me. They played for maybe?30 minutes or so, and then there was a set change. It seemed like forever, but at about 8, Jimmy Eat World came on and played. They were actually really good, though I don?t have any of their songs?I?ve heard a few though. So then, another set change, and I eagerly waited for Green Day to show up. And finally, at about?.8:30, the YMCA came on, and the oh so famous pink bunny ran out, drinking all the beer bottles. I thought it was funny, but when your dad is right next to you it?s kind of hard to laugh?
    Then the lights dimmed and the Space Odyssey song came on?Green Day came on stage. It was very hard for me to restrain all my screaming so?I just let it all out pretty much, just like everyone else was. Billie was just standing there, holding his hands out, pretty much soaking up the spotlight?lol. So they immediately began to play American Idiot?Billie at some point said??Good evening New England!!! Red Sox Nation!!!!? and everyone started screaming?it was pretty cool. Anyways, in the middle of the song, he said his famous line- ?I want you to scream so f***ing loudly ever redneck in American can hear you!? of course, we obeyed?lol. Then he made the whole stadium do a wave which worked out perfectly. I mean, I wish I could make a whole stadium do a wave?that would be awesome. He also did his famous ?Hey-O!!!? things?he did them a lot.
    They played JOS afterwards and Billie dedicated it to anyone from a small town?I used to live in a very small town in Israel, so?yeah. It?s a really great song live. In the ?I Don?t Care? part, Billie said ?New England? instead of ?Anaheim?. Before ?Dearly Beloved? Billie told everyone he wanted to see every person in the stadium raising their hands?apparently some guy didn?t in the mosh pit, so on the screen is showed Billie trying to get this guy to raise his hands?kinda funny if you ask me. Near the end, (The piano part at the very end) everyone was singing?it?s cool to see 15,000 other people singing along with you. It just gives you a feeling you aren?t alone.
    Before they played Holiday, Billie said another famous quote of his- ?This song is a big **** YOU to the government! It?s not anti-America?it?s anti?.WAR!?
    I really enjoyed Holiday?some people were just screaming the ?Heys!? that are in the song, and I tried but I had to sing the whole song or otherwise I would freak out?
    Then Billie announced Are We The Waiting and Saint Jimmy as Saint Jimmy?don?t know why. I know he does it at every concert?
    I think during the drum part of Are We the Waiting, Billie told us that they were a band for 16 and a half years already, and when he was 18, they?d go to a place in Rhode Island and play there?he said they kept going back there again and again and again and again and again?lol.
    They went into Saint Jimmy?and wow, Billie can seriously break dance. He also did a split?my dad claimed he bent his knee but I told him he was wrong?
    I also liked how Billie said ?And don?t you F***ING wear it out? lol..
    Then they started playing older stuff. They played Longview, and everyone started screaming. Ah yes, and Hitchin? A Ride?warned my dad about this song?heh. So in the middle as usual, whether he pretended to or not, Billie...touched...himself...
    Which I found very amusing?before he did he made us repeat some interesting calls he was screaming?so after he was done doing his little touching session, he screamed ?SOMEBODY F*** ME!!!!? and my dad said something I didn?t expect- ?I?m sure he?ll get many volunteers!?
    Wow?he has humor! =O lol. Afterwards, Billie said ?Oh S***!? for some reason?and then he told the whole stadium ?Here?s what is going to happen, and here?s what is going to be, and here is what you are going to do. I want every person in this stadium to freak out!? and the everyone started screaming. Billie then said ?Wait wait wait! But first, I want you all to say 1, 2, 1,2,3,4? And of course we did so?
    I think it was at this point Billie said ?You?re F***ING RAD!? it was really awesome!
    I think in this song (and in a few others too) Billie pointed to one side of the stadium and we clapped?and he?d make the other side boo at us?it was sorta a competition. Mike took over the other side and Billie took ours?at one point our side was better so Mike pretended to cry and I thought that was hilarious. There was one point during one of the songs that we weren?t cheering loud enough so Billie crossed his arms and waited for us to be loud enough?heh.
    Anyways, they started playing Brainstew afterwards, and most people were singing, and led into Jaded. I think at this point they played Knowledge?Billie made sure that the guitarist could play?
    Billie: You can play guitar? How long have you been playing? You say 90 years? And how old are you? 20? Oh I see. Do you swear to God you can play guitar? Good.
    He was very careful?lol. The band was actually pretty good. Billie told the guitarist to get his ?f***ing a** off his stage? and there was the traditional stage dive?
    They played Basket Case and She afterwards. I loved both songs?everyone was singing to Basket Case?lol.
    King For A Day was awesome! Billie had his crown on, and Tre had this hysterical red hat on?Billie mooned both sides of the stage which rocked?=D
    During King For A Day, Billie introduced the band?I?ll say a few of the introductions he said?for Jason Freese, he said ?This guy plays saxophone, the piano, the telephone, and has MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY various porn sites on the internet!? I got a kick out of that?for Mike he said ?This guy is the best f***ing bassist ever, and looks great naked!? again, hysterical. Tre?s was funny too- ?This guy?s an amazing drummer and I?ve taken SEVERAL showers with him!? Billie?s got awesome humor lol. Then of course he introduced himself- ?And my name?my name, is George Bush.? The whole stadium started booing. Then he said ?No wait?my name is a**hole!? everyone started cheering. lol
    They led into Shout, and Billie made the crowd repeat some stuff?in the middle of Shout they played a bit of Stand By Me, and they were all lying on the floor and Billie was covered in a cape and stuff?they all looked adorable lol.
    Wake Me Up When September Ends was really touching?I think I saw tears in Billie?s eyes?but I seriously don?t blame him?he dedicated the song to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which is suitable. It was really touching. Before he sang it, he sang the whole ?Nobody likes you? thing?
    Minority was the last song before the encore. It was one of my favorite songs. Billie had a harmonica solo and stuff. We had a singing contest with Billie too?we tried to sing for longer though he held his voice for like?a minute. That?s really impressive. We had some more ?Hey-Os? and stuff, and then they ran off stage. Though I think in the middle, Billie started saying ?Thank YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU!?
    Then we started calling their name and they came out again and played Maria, and Boulevard next?it was awesome because everyone was singing. It?s a really special song to me because?I would have never gotten into Green Day if it wasn?t for that song?flame me if you like lol. Then, Billie announced they were going to play ?We Are the Champions? He said ?This is our last song tonight?but one thing- though f***ing politicians lead the country, YOU are the leaders, YOU have the power to change!? That gave me a lot of hope for the future?it really inspired me?afterwards, Billie was alone on stage and played the electric version of Time of Your Life?I swear every single person was singing that song with him? I was basically on the verge of tears since it was over?he then said goodnight. Mike and Tre joined him, and bowed and then they were gone. I think it went by way too fast?I will NEVER forget that night. NEVER. But I?m not done with my story yet?on the way back to the motel, I said to my dad ?Say?think we?ll see the tourbus again?? My dad just gave me this look and said ?No way in hell?
    When we got out of our motel room?there it was. Yes, I saw the tour bus AGAIN. Instead of staying put, I ran as fast as I could to get closer and started waving?I have a good feeling they saw me so meh?there are a few highlights I forget where they were so I?ll just say them here:
    ? I?m sure some of you know the Potter Puppet Pal thing?there was point where on the screen a puppet of Dumbleore showed up and Tre was holding it and playing drums and the same time?I thought that was hysterical.
    ? Billie can play guitar behind he back?that?s awesome.
    ? At one point Billie started like blowing kisses to the crowd?lol
    ? I don?t mean to sound teenyish but?I was wearing the same shoes as Billie was that night?so?hah! Lol
    I would also like to add that the pyrotechnics were amazing. There were fireworks too!
    I seriously will never forget this night ever?I hope I get the privilege to see them again, because it?s just amazing to see them live. If Green Day is reading this?thanks. You guys seriously helped me get through so much, and I?m really grateful.
    To all who have never seen Green Day live yet, I encourage you to as SOON AS YOU CAN.

    --Eli
