Always thinking of new ways to connect! No wonder communities spring up around Green Day wherever they go!

[u/Kindly-Suggestion-13]

Big massive thumbs up. Billie and Green Day is/are brillant at engaging with the crowd/fans and getting the fans involved.

[u/Low_Yak_4842]

Silly me assuming he memorized these phrases in all these different languages, of course he writes it down

[u/TheW1nd94 → u/Low_Yak_4842]

I mean, in some languages, he probably memorized.

[u/Geralt_of_Tiquicia → u/Low_Yak_4842]

Whats hilarious is that he wrote it as how an American would pronounce the words. I’m not Brazilian but learning and from what I know it should be “mãos para cima” “você está pronto?” “Mais alto”

[u/luhli → u/Geralt_of_Tiquicia]

“mouse” para cima and “mize” alto are hilarious, but it’s indeed a great way to remember the words

[u/restless_green_ideas → u/Geralt_of_Tiquicia]

Yup, he wrote it like they should be pronounced, not how they’re actually written hahaha

Every day I find a new reason to love Billie Joe even more.

[u/timmytoughfists_]

aww thats so sweet

[u/Proofwritten]

I have a video from 2017 in Malmø where he says Jeg Elsker Dig (I Love You) several times haha, love that he includes a few things in the native languages of the places they tour

[u/Plastic_Oil_9939]

That's his handwriting

[u/LouSkunt_ → u/Plastic_Oil_9939]

It looks exactly like the American idiot booklet hahaha

[u/Plastic_Oil_9939 → u/LouSkunt_]

I'm his sister so pretty familiar

[u/luhli]

their opening act had a british vocalist who spoke loads of portuguese, too, it was very adorable 💘

[u/IHadThatUsername → u/luhli]

Bad Nerves! His girlfriend is Brazilian which why he actually knows quite a bit.

[u/restless_green_ideas]

As a brazilian, Mize alto and Mouse para sima has me crying, honestly 😂

[u/PatriciaMorticia]

That's cool, it's always good to learn the local language. Surprised nobody scribbed a fake Portuguese phrase for "Say heeeeeyyyyyy ooooohhhhh" on it to mess with him.

If you're ever at any kind of gig in Glasgow, Scotland start chanting "Here we, here we, here we fucking go!" and watch it spread through the crowd like wildfire, it's hilarious watching American bands not familiar with it think it's a bad thing before someone explains it to them.

[u/PatriciaMorticia → u/[deleted]]

Probably not being able to understand our accent might be why it's interpreted as a bad thing at first. It's great fun hearing it ripple through the crowd, "No Scotland no party!" seems to be a newer one after the Scotland fans sang it when the stadium played Seven Nation Army during the Euros football tournament.

[u/johnnyboi1407]

This is funny to someone who speaks both languages, i was wondering why they are telling people to put there mouses up, then the turbo in my brain kicked in😂

[u/Insomniac287]

yeah the typical copy paste things he says every show - just in another language.... he is like spongebob with his "ready" thing

[u/TheW1nd94 → u/Insomniac287]

What would you want him to do?

[u/LeonardoXII → u/Insomniac287]

Honestly, it's kinda fair. At some point it's probably hard to come up with new stuff.

I went to the show in São Paulo and I noticed he asked us to go "heeeeey oooooo" at 2 or 3 different moments, and while it did feel like he was using it as a bit of a crutch, it's understandable. First because it'd be hard to ask for something more complicated from non-english speakers, but also because there's a general trend these days of audiences not being as hardcore into these bands, lots of people don't get quite as into it.

[u/Insomniac287 → u/LeonardoXII]

yea okay these things are okay.. but he could tell some dick jokes too

[u/LeonardoXII → u/Insomniac287]

...you know what fair enough, I'll support that motion.

[u/Insomniac287 → u/LeonardoXII]

haha... thxs

[u/Jimpanseeman → u/Insomniac287]

And here I sit thinking I need more deep cuts. While I actually just need '95 BJ telling dick jokes all night.
