New concert

[castalie]

Went to bed at 1.30 last night, it's now midnight and I feel fine - I think I'm on the right track again! Hopefully, there won't be no dead-on-my-feet as early at 9.00 PM anymore. Oh, the indignity of going to bed between 9.00 and 10.00 PM - and, ok, before you start kicking me in the head, this is an indignity for me because I'm used to going to bed around 1.00 AM, is all. It might sound stupid but going to bed so early means that I was losing three or four hours every day and we don't have enough hours in a day as it is, so.

Anyway. Guess who was at the Parisian Green Day concert last night? Me! It was a kick-ass show, with pyrotechnics (I startled and squeed every time something "exploded", which happened often) and many interactions between Billie and the audience (that man definitely likes to play with his audience, all right, and a concert crowd is always so easy, great combo!). He had many people going on stage throughout the whole show and though we didn't get a repeat performance of the Awesome Stephanie Moment, he had three fans go up on stage and sing one of his songs - with more or less success depending on who he picked, but I'm still in awe because I wouldn't ever dare raise my hands, even if I knew the song by heart. No way.

Tre Kool (the drummer?) kept throwing his drumsticks behind him whenever he'd finish a song (seriously, how many drumsticks did he have?) and then in the end he gave them away to the mosh pit crowd and I must admit that I'd have loved getting one. Even though I'd have thought of Spencer Smith when looking at it. Also, there was this little medley and Billie sang a bit of Shout and it made me think of Brendon so that was lovely too :-) Not that I think of p!atd other bands when I'm at someone's concert, of course! Or just a little. I might have mentioned Bob Bryar at one point too, so sue me!

Oh, also! After the opening act (Prima Donna) and before Green Day arrived, there was this drunk pink bunny furry that came on stage and, among other things, danced on YMCA. No, seriously. moimoietmoi suggested a tech had lost a bet. greedy_dancer thinks it might have been Pete Wentz. I? Just don't know. I mean, drunk pink bunny furry dancing on stage, man. What do you want me to say? If someone has an answer, I'm all ears! Is the pink bunny associated with Green Day?

That concert sounds epic, even if you were cheating by mentioning other bands *g*

It was pretty good, yeah. It's different when you're not a #1fan of the group but definitely a lot of fun, anyway *g*

Hee I couldn't help it lol I always have our beloved bands in mind, even at someone else' concert *sheepish*

Ah ah my husband was there too ;o)

Was he in the mosh pit, then? Did he get soaked wet? Did he get a t-shirt? Hope he had fun :-)

[witchy78.livejournal.com]

Nah... You know we used to be in the pit, but not anymore. Now we are like grandpa and grandma who like a good show on a good seat !! ;o)))

Lol On était dans les gradins nous aussi. Mais ça n'empêche pas de se déhancher durant tout le concert donc ça va :-)

[witchy78.livejournal.com]

Tout à fait ! C ce que nous aimons bien dans les gradins, tu peux t'assoir dans les moments creux et bouger ton corps quand ça devient existant ;o))

Un bon compromis, c'est clair *g*

I googled the bunny thing and it seems there's always a bunny to announce Green Day (at least on this tour).
I have no idea why a bunny, though!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I googled it too after I posted and was surprised to see he did appear in other concerts. Funny thing.

I still have no idea either. I suppose there are no real explanations but I wish I got one, anyway. Why a drunk pink bunny? I mean, why not, I guess... but still, why?
