Green Day: Bullet In A Bible

I'm just going straight to the heart for this one....


Tonight, I watched Green Day's live DVD called "Bullet In A Bible" .. The effect that this had on me was absolutely profound... I don't know how to explain it... they played in front of 65,000 people for two nights, totaling 130,000 people... The reason this DVD made me feel the way it did, was because of the connection Green Day has to their audience...

I don't know if i'm just more sensitive than people, or if everyone can feel this, but when watching this DVD, I felt, like i was 65,000 people... I felt like I had the heart and energy and soul of 65,000 people... The connection, that this band fosters amongst their audience, and between themselves as well, has got to be one of the most amazing examples of hapiness, love, fun, pain, and beauty that I have ever seen..

If you haven't seen this DVD, I would recomend it to you... i'd reccomend it to goldfish who can't remember 3 seconds into their past, I can guarantee if you brought a goldfish to a Green Day concert it would transform into some type of super dolphin that could talk and thank you for bringing it there... mark my words... (don't mark my words, it's just an example of the power and unbeliveable love and personal connection they share when they're up there playing their music..) The reason this DVD has touched me the way it has, is because I saw myself up on that stage the whole time, connecting the way Billy Joe did... I was him... and I know that I can do what I just witnessed him doing... I am that... I pray I have the audience to demonstrate this one day...

It's not the music that moved me, so much as the members and the way they connect to everyone there... Billy Joe, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt... I've never felt anything like it...

I am going to see them on Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 at Madison Square Garden in New York City... both shows, are sold out... but if you can get tickets.. I don't care if you've never even heard of them/don't like them... I promise you, you will leave feeling better than you did coming into the show.. a whole lot better.. there's something amazing that happens at a Green Day concert that goes much deeper than just playing music...
