Hi Maddy! Welcome to Best Thing In Town. I hope you have fun here. =)

My name is Chelsea.

So...how are you?

hey Chelsea : ) thanks i'm sure i will, i just love chtting about my fave band in the whole world : )

were are u frm ?

Well, I'm from Indiana which is in the USA. =)

awsome : ) - how do u have a pic, like ur icon thing ? and the baner under ur message ?

Well, you go to the top and you click on "profile" and then on the right side at the top it will say "avatar" so you click on that and then you can either upload an icon from your computer or you can get a link for an icon and put it on here.

Then, to get a banner thing at the bottom of your post, there's a link on the right next to "avatar" called "signature" and you can put it in the box and click "save" =)

cool thanks : )
why do u love greenday ??

^Oh god....well...lol You see, at all started started 6 years ago in summer of 2003. My dad had Nimrod and so I was curious and so I decided to steal it and listen to it, and well...the rest is history. xD

I think that the main reasons why I love Green Day would be because they make amazing music and they some how manage to make each album unique, epic, breathtaking, and interesting in it's own way. And also, they have three very distinct, awesome personalities that I have grown to love. =)

So...Why do you love Green Day?

lol cool, well about 5 years ago i was sitting next to a girl who had the american idiot album and i borrowed it off her and ever since then i've been toatlly obssed and in love with them : )

they are a unique, emotional and talented band, and i just love the band members diffrent persionalities...i could say more but i will have to do that next time am online cause am off to bed zzzzzzzzz

talk soon, i hope

take care x

Hi Maddy! Welcome to BTIT.
I'm Sarah, the admin.
Hope you have fun here. =)

Hey Sarah ! thanks for the welcome !
well i love greenday and this forum looked awsome so i joined lol

You're welcome. =)
Green Day are indeed awesome, haha.

yep i can agree with that !

so how long have u been a fan? and how did u get into them ??

I've been a fan for almost 6 years.

I never really knew about them until September of 2004 when I was moving from Virginia to Pennsylvania. American Idiot had just came out, and it was playing on the radio. I liked it, but I wasn't obsessed. It wasn't until I heard Boulevard of Broken Dreams that I got obsessed.

I got 'American Idiot' for my 11th birthday, and I've been listening to them ever since. =)

awww thats a nice story yhh i just got hooked on them reli, i think their a band that i'm gonna just keep loving for most if nt all my life : ) love ur user pic they are so silly lol

^Haha, thanks. Yeah, they are. xD

Oh, yeah. I think Green Day is like the mafia in a way: when you're in, you're in, haha! I don't think I could ever leave this band behind - i would never WANT to! I love the three of them more than anything, and I would be honestly be lost without them.

haha yeah like the mafia love them foever greenday, ha ha Billes the leader - mafia boss i be his girl anytime haha

yeah totallt agree with ya

^Hahaha.

So have u ever seen them in concert, or will the one coming up be ur first ??

I already saw them with Chelsea on July 13th in Chicago. We were on the floor, right in front of the catwalk! It was fucking brilliant.

As you can tell from Chelsea's signature and icon, those roses were ours! Billie saw Chelsea and motioned to her to throw them, and he caught them, and put them in the neck of his guitar and played the rest of 'Know Your Enemy' with them in. After the song, he tossed them into the audience.

It was amazing. It was worth everything - the money, the hassle of getting there, and all of the anxiety I went through. It just...I can't explain it, haha. It just made my life seeing them in person, and being that close. Singing along to the songs, jumping to the point I thought my legs were going to fall off, screaming for them, and being in the whole atmosphere. It was pure bliss.

The aftermath was brutal. You would have cracked up laughing if you would have saw Chelsea and I after the concert. We got seperated during the first song, I think, because the pit is fucking intense. I got thrown over, farther down to the catwalk. After the show, though, when we found each other, we hugged, jumped up and down, and could NOT stop screaming. I thought I was going to die, haha. I was so delirious and I felt like I was on acid or something.

So, yes. It was amazing. It was my first time seeing them, but definitely not my last. They're going to Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, but I'm pretty sure they'll be back in the US sometime next year, so I hope to see them again when they do.

I highly suggest you see them, Maddy, if you have the chance. =]

awww that sounds really awsome, i've got tickets to see them in november !!! i cant wait ! gonna be amazing am sure : )

although they did this gig in the Uk a few years ago in Milton Keans and recorded it - u might have heard of the Bullet in a Bible Dvd ? its amazing i so wish i could have been there, oh well i cant wait to see them am sure they'll be amazing : ) x

Oh, yeah! I have that DVD. That sucks that you couldn't have gone, but it's awesome that you're seeing them in November.
Tell us all about it when it's over =]

Yeah it looked like a awsome gig, but at least i get to see them this time round

^Yeah. Very optimistic view. =]
Their live show now is actually a lot better than Bullet in a Bible, I think. It's longer, and they do more things, and Billie says more things. Their are more songs, too, so it's just amazing. You're going to have a great time. =]

awww they just keep getting better and better so yes i think i will have a good time and i shall tell u all about it afterwards : )

I so wish i could meet them and like have a chat that would be soooooooo awsome i'd die ! ha ha
