Moody Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) 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, Edited May 9, 2009 by Moody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnyMike Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thats awesome man! Did you get to speak to Mike Dirnt at all and how did you win the tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 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.

thepurpleblob Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Who the hell is Tre Cool? ..... looks up .... Frank Edwin Wright III. Ha ha ha... not got the same ring to it. Glad you enjoyed yourself. I'm jealous that you where in Berlin, one of my favourite cities. Green Day I can't stand, as I may have mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
