Green Day is nominated for three awards this year at the European Music Awards and will be performing live as well. If I have this link correct, you can watch a live stream of the European Music Awards starting at 9:00 PM Berlin time.
You’ll have to figure out on your own what time that means for you! (Thanks to Beth for the world clock link: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/)
GO HERE NOW! GD DOING MINORITY!
WOAH, Munich!
I read about this on the Green Day Community’s Munich thread, but Anja posted this short video on Facebook of a giant mosh pit forming and exploding during Green Day’s show last night in Munich. From what I’ve read, it prompted Billie Joe to call it a “Wall of Death.”
Ha! Now that’s punk! Go, Munich!
As you may have heard, Green Day was on fire during their recent tour of Great Britain and the Emerald Isle, playing to massively sold out crowds, creating music and mania, and coming out to England as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.
Billie, who’s been wearing a vest with the name “Jesus” on it lately (maybe he’s Spanish, who knows?), has regularly been ‘saving’ young children and the ocassional adult on the tour. I saw him save two kids in San Antonio and I thought that was a lot!
Well, at Wembley on November 1st, the band brought up ten to be saved, including a great fellow by the name of Tony Anastasi (in the cowboy hat) whom I met while I was in England.
The two videos below are of this hallowed event, the first one being the song itself. The second video is very unique. One of the ten who were saved actually had his camera on, taping the moment from a salvation point of view. While the final “boom” of salvation isn’t taped, it’s great to see the actual saving huddle.
And Tony is very happy to have been saved by Billie, as one can well imagine!
A bird’s eye view of salvation:
An additional view:
The Fuse Awards for Best Video of 2009 is head to head with Paramore’s “Ignorance” going back and forth with Green Day’s “Know Your Enemy.” The voting is actually pretty close, so it’s time to get your mice fingers working for the band that has given us so much joy. And really, Paramore? No way…
VOTE NOW and VOTE OFTEN! (God that sounds so fangirl… cheeze.)
A few videos from last night’s mayhem from the Foxboro Hot Tubs. For those who were able to go, I salute you. I understand that they played the entire Stop, Drop and Roll album once, then ran out of songs, so did the song “Stop, Drop, and Roll” seven times, “Ruby Room” twice, “A Quick One,” “Supermodel Robots” (from The Network), “Johnny B. Goode,” “Blitzkrieg Pop,” and “Blood, Sex, and Booze.” The set lasted until it stopped, and an epic time was had by all.
From the GDC, here’s a link to an NME article on the gig.

Sorry that the links were messed up earlier. I’m still posting from my iPhone and it’s not easy!
There’s also a host of other vids at Elmo the Idiot’s YouTube Channel.
Thank you, Monkeyboy, for helping us worship!

I saw this video from Green Day’s Halloween show in Manchester. Billie is transformed into Frankenstein at one point and it’s pretty funny.
To all my Rocktober peeps who are seeing the Foxboro Hot Tubs tonight, have a great time! Wish I could be there!
First YouTube of the Foxboro Hot Tubs live in Manchester. Found by The Guy called Kill… from the GDC.
