it was the 1st time i was seeing them. FINALLY. after 4 years of wait, i got to see the guys that i admire the most.
I arrived in these studios in the afternoon, and I stayed with some fans. we were in the parking. it was raining, cold; but we didn't care. a car arrived. and another one. we knew it was the band. so we ran behind the cars, we looked like fools, but once again we didn't care.
they came out of the cars. billie joe armstrong. my heart was beating so hard. everything happened so fast, but in my mind it was in slow motion. he just waved, and got inside. then, mike dirnt. he waved too, and got inside. and tré cool. he went to see us. he was so... cool... he said "hi", he seemed to happy to be there. he had a glass of wine he gave to anne. and he got inside. I really didn't realize what was going on. now I wonder why haven't I simply jumped into their arms and hugged them to death. after that, the others musicians came out and waved at us. and we waited. suddenly, tré went to see us. again. he asked "whose birthday is it?". we were like "what?". anne said "meeee!" (it wasn't true, but she manage to say something while we were all motionless ahah). and he gave his two drumsticks. woah. then he got back inside. we were so excited. we knew they were inside. we got inside, we gave our coats, and we stood in the hall. these last minutes were terrible, I really couldn't wait anymore!! ten minutes later, I ran in the room. first row!!! we were sat. the stage was set up, with the instruments, the beautiful drums, written "green day". we were like 100 persons. a guy made us screaming and applauding (as it was for a tv show). I was shaking so hard. it was never ending. and then. the guys arrived. my heart was beating so fast, but at the same time I felt it was stopping too. weird feeling. but I know I was in the place place of the world. I couldn't believe they were in front of me, my biggest dream came true! they began with the intro of "21st century breakdown". it gave me chills and I wanted to cry so bad. but there was a huge camera in front of me and my tears didn't drop. it was awesome. they are so handsome, in reality. even more than on pictures. during "Know Your Enemy", we got insane. everyone knew the song, as it was the current new single. after the guitar solo, billie joe approached us. he got closer and closer, I was like "oh my god, what is he doing??", and he asked us to join him on stage. whaaaaat? are you kidding?? and we were 15 to go on stage, with green day. I could not believe it. even in my biggest dreams I'd never imagined that situation. I was in front of tré, behind billie joe, and side by side with mike. best place ever. best memory ever. I didn't want get out of here. but we had to. I said to myself ''I'll never have this chance anymore, and I'll never forget it.". we got back in the crowd, and I tried to come back to reality. they played "east jesus nowhere". I love that song so much. billie joe played with the crowd, he is awesome. then "last of the american girls" and "murder city". the band was obviously happy to be there, and enjoyed playing their new songs. and that made us all the more happy. "viva la gloria (little girl)" was amazing. they kept going with "the static age" and "21 guns". I wanted this concert to last forever. "american eulogy" got us crazy, once again. and towards the end, billie joe waved at us, he wanted us to get on stage, again. I couldn't believe it. for the second time, I got on stage. we were dancing, jumping, screaming. and we get back in the crowd. they played "see the light". I knew it was the last song, and it made me a bit sad. it happened so fast. but at the same time, I knew that with them, it wasn't said that it was over. after finishing the song, they talked to each other, and played "american idiot". no words can describe this moment! it was incredible. and they left the stage. I was impressed by them, admirative and so happy. I wasn't disappointed at all. then with some other fans, we got outside to catch the band. they had to hurry because they were going to a radio show. but mike came to see us. he spoke with us, even if he said he had to be quick. he arrived in front of me. I gave him the croissants I'd bought in the morning for them. he looked at me with his beautiful blue eyes. he asked me what it was (because the croissants were in a bag) and I replied to him. then he took a french accent and repeated "croissants!" ahah. he took a pic with a guy standing on my right, and got inside the van.
