greenday was really amazing. it's weird, i had this preconception that i'd be writing about it saying, 'taking back sunday were amazing (yeah, fuck greenday)'. but no way. taking back sunday didn't really belong there, i don't think. but greenday were really great. they got three people on stage to play for them (drummer, bassist, guitarist; obviously). so the drummer was great. bassist was good. the guitarist? fucking wank. and the TWAT got to keep the guitar. there is no justice, seriously, none. and even though i had a migraine building all through from the heat, it was really great. they covered shout and we are the champions, and then after the encore.. they did that whole suspense-before-t-final-song thing. so me and maddie are standing there, linked fingers, going, 'play ittt..fucking play it'. and he did. and i swear i have never been so ecstatic to hear the opening chords to good riddance before in my life. we actually had a spaz out hug thing.
i honestly can't imagine. i mean, it was so amazing standing there and hearing sixty five thousand people singing basketcase and good riddance. for me. so i honestly, really, truly can't imagine what it must be like for them. i'd probably break down if i was on a stage facing that many people, and hearing every single one of them singing the words of MY song back at me.
so yeah, amazing. and i'm not even that crazy about greenday.
