Marshall Teased Modded SLP1959 and 800

[SBlue]

I actually dig a lot of the songs on the new album but they are bit more polished than I'd like.

Ypu know what is crazy? I was stationed in area in in the early 90s and Green Day did a show on the soccer field i played on. I didn't get to see it but people said it was really cool. Coincidentally, Tool did a show in Hawaii on a flatbed trailer downtown and Maynard cut himself up and was bleeding all over the place. I missed that show too, lol.

I hear you, and I don't disagree with anybody listening and liking their new material. I just can't get myself to like what they got out after American Idiot. It's like Megadeth... people are liking their last couple of albums a lot. I've even tried to force me to like them, because of Kiko, but I could not.
I guess I'm becoming what my father was, and turning into what I used to think was a stubborn cranky man, but I'm just realizing that, the older I get, he was actually being smart, because the older you get, the less time you'll have to enjoy the things you like. So, why waste it with things you're only Ok with it?
Now, we were lucky to be able to watch those bands live, that's for sure!
My first Green Day concert was in 97, I believe. They played at a Volleyball gymnasium in my city in Brazil, and the acoustics were dread awful!!! But it was one of the best concerts I've seen. Better even than the three other times I've seen them in the US.
Fast forward to mid 2000s, when I was working at Hollywood Vintage, BJ walked in and I've helped him to pick a couple of vintage Les Paul Jr. He was incredibly nice, and when I told him where I was from, he mentioned playing in Brazil. When I told him the city in specific, and that I was on one of his concerts there, he immediately said "One of the worst acoustics I've ever heard! But one of the craziest crowd I've played for"! And it was true, they were on fire that evening!!!
So, it was incredible to hear that from him.
