Ah, I've been a fan of theirs since I was 13. Dookie was my gateway album!I was reminiscing about old gigs the other day. Green Day in Hull and then at Wigan, in December 1991, is fondly remembered. They did a nativity play in Wigan, hilarious.
Couldn't listen to them after Dookie though.
Yeah it's a great album. I'd been an avid collector of various hardcore genres since the late 80s and had picked up a few Green Day 7"s - it was clear even then, before that scene started to get popular, that they were destined for big things. Marketable talent and wit. Here's a track from that Wigan gig. Twas a few days before Christmas, indescribable fun. Familiar faces stagediving. Oh the memories...Ah, I've been a fan of theirs since I was 13. Dookie was my gateway album!
