Old Bands

I love old music, and I am often judged by that. But I do not care, fact is that no little band of hardcore replaces a good old Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. I learned to like rock with my father, since childhood I was always fascinated by bands like U2 and Queen, and that lasts until today. I'm in love with vinyl records, I have a friend who tells me I only like one thing if you have dust. But you see, that whole thing that the vinyl record is in no iPod will ever pass. I'll take the 80, all that debauchery that existed within each of today no longer exists within the other. But for me there, I say I was born at the wrong time, but look, we still have very good things in the world. Do not disagree with anyone who says we turn on the TV and only see shit, this is true. But sometimes I turn the TV on and are passing those classic rock! Those clips without any special effects, just music, and music is everything. I love old bands, I love that rock and roll 80s, was the best. But do not discount the possibility of discovering a great new band, I just find it hard because the themes of the songs now are all the same. I still live in the era of vinyl, I still buy original CD's, and I have an Ipod because I think that's a hell that only serves to devalue the work of a musician. Listen to vinyl and then tell me if it was worth it.

GREEN DAY

I always wanted to write a text that I speak only the best band in the world, some many lines about three men who changed my way of
see the world, that made me give more value to everything, but mainly to the music. Green Day is one band to another, but to me it is anything but
band. It's a heat that flows in my veins and can not ever be erased, this heat ... my friends called ROCK AND ROLL! But unlike any other
band, whether or not punk, Green Day is like an addiction for me, that makes me think of that time lost listening to junk there. My history with this band
incredible start in 2009 when by chance, or not met a guy who introduced me to a cold surface and a punk rock band that would later
literally become a part of me. Months passed and I ended up losing contact with this boy, in October 2009, the first time in my life
I can say that television held me for over three hours! Yes, three hours on the same channel without even blinking. On VH1, videography Green Day, that I
... fascinated as I had never noticed those guys, so I loved that punk rock? How? But I felt at that time U2 was no longer the best
band in my opinion and now Green Day was taking place. From that day on I started to hear those songs all the time, had little time to
nothing more. Each chord, each soil was delirious ... I heard it and still Crazy about much. I went to the next phase: my beloved posters! Every time spent in
front of a stall or go into the supermarket and saw a magazine with Green Day on the cover, I had to buy. Today I look at each one and can tell a story,
is priceless. Love is a feeling unmatched fan, is unlike anything that one might feel, is an admiration that turns into a love so great and
gets to be a obsession like: I WANT TO GRAB Billie ON STAGE! It's crazy to see more closely who you admire. But let's calm. The year
2010 began and I became increasingly anxious for them to come to Brazil, Oh my God! It was everything I needed to realize a true fan!
To have a small idea, I spent Christmas Eve and New Year watching the DVD of Bullet In A Bible! The year 2010 began and was difficult to start, me and this kid who
said he was very punk but I later discovered it was just another poser voltamoa dating, this time I ended up leaving a bit of Green Day
side, but few months later when we finish songs like Know Your Enemy and Holiday were like therapy for me, and I cried too much
listening to songs like Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns, Restless Heart Syndrome ... But it all made me even more to love those guys, I just
will discover one of the few bands that have stirred my emotions. Shortly thereafter, I as usual went on twitter at the end of the night and seek the tag
"Green Day" when I see the first tweet almost fall back: Green Day in Brasilia in October. Heavens! At the time nothing came to my head not to be: I go and ready.
I had to go, needed that show, needed a dose of all that craziness I saw in Bullet In A Bible. And so it went, I heard from April to October
Green Day all the time, and the big day had not arrived. I was counting down, bought T-shirts Green Day, I thought I would go with that outfit, chatted
with my friends on the show but they just felt an absurd to pay 340 to see a real rock band! "Fuck 'em" I thought. On 14
I arrived in Brasilia in October, when I felt what was about to happen gave me a chill, it was everything else was expected, it was this show. The next
spent three days there, took more than anything, I could not think of anything else except the show. October 17, 17:30 pm, there we were, me and my
father at the door waiting Nilson Nelson in the gates being opened, I never felt it was incredible. We went in there and the time was not, and I drank
ate noodles as you would anticipate anything, the anxiety was still there inside me. Exactly at nine at night, a rabbit, rose-colored, totally drunk takes the stage. Ah, my heart was in my mouth. It just felt a squeeze: will start. I can not describe in words what I felt when I finally ...
Tre Cool, Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe Armstrong took the stage. It's indescribable, thousands of people there jumping and singing along, crying, talking is not exactly like
how I felt. But it was incredibly tough! When it was over I hugged my dad crying and parched throats of both scream! I still do not know, but my life
from there would be free from feelings of insecurity. Everything changed from that day on, I knew the true meaning of the feeling of fuck. My life may
be a drug, but man ... I went to a Green Day concert!!
FOR ME, THE GREEN DAY IS NOT JUST A BAND, THEY ARE THE STORIES ARE PEOPLE ARE MEMORIES ARE TEARS. THERE ARE ONLY THREE FACES WITH THEIR
INSTRUMENTS ARE THREE GUYS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. GREEN DAY IS EVERYTHING TO ME. I love them.
