I met Green Day!

Just got back from Berlin after seeing a secret (ish) Green Day show. 50 people won tickets from the official fan club and I was one of the lucky few. In total, I reckon there were about 250 people there. They did a full show for Berlin Radio. They did most of the new album, which sounds fecking awesome (look out for 21 Guns) and a few of the oldies (Holiday being an unusual exception...). I'm still in a daze about it all and I'm avoiding checking out my credit card balaance! Needless to say, it was worth every penny. I managed to get a few photos which I have posted on Flickr: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moodybass"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/moodybass[/url]

Managed to chat to Tre Cool afterwards as well, his daughter and mine share the same name and he was the nicest guy I've met.

Mike's P-Bass was awesome, I'm going to buy a lefty one and play it like it nearly drags on the floor. He played through three 8x10 Fender cabs, which sounded awesome. My girlf has seen them a couple of times and commented that they sounded as good in a small venue as they do in a stadium. <- Edit to keep it bass related!

I am now going to the pub to gloat a bit more... ;-)

Take care,

Sadly not, only Tre came out at the end and hung around for quite a while, nothing was too much trouble for him and we chatted about kids and stuff. Billie Joe came out before the show for a bit of a meet and greet but didn't really hang around. Mike gave me a wink on stage and I gurned like an idiot!!!

I'm a member of "Idiot Club" (www.idiotclub.com) which is the Green Day official fan club, I booked tickets to the Manchester gig in October (we got them on pre-sale), and there was a competition to win tickets for the Berlin gig, did'nt expect anything and got an email on Tuesday that I'd won.
