apocalypsosBoosted from Feministing ...
At one point during Monday night's Green Day show at Madison Square Garden, Billie Joe Armstrong announced that he needed someone on stage who could play the guitar. And not just for a "three-chord song," he added, "for one with four, five, maybe six chords" -- "Jesus of Suburbia." After rejecting a few wannabes he stopped and asked a girl in the mosh pit if she knew how to play, then looked unconvinced when she said she did.
...The girl -- her name later was revealed to be Stephanie -- was wearing jeans shorts, a torn Misfits t-shirt, and a head scarf over her pigtails. Mr. Armstrong handed her the guitar, conferred with her briefly, then let her sit on an amp to get started. And then she...ripped! A few bars in she was wandering the stage like a pro and when Mr. Armstrong introduced her at the end, the crowd was shouting "Ste-pha-nie! Ste-pha-nie!" in appreciation.

Date: 2009-07-30 05:45 pm (UTC)An actual part of their show that they do every time is play an old punk song by Operation Ivy and then they bring up a drummer, a bassist and a guitar player and have THEM finish the song. When I went Tuesday night? The kid who played bass? GOT TO KEEP THE BASS, they loved him so much. And the drummer stage dived with the sticks he got to keep. The guitar player was a girl, who was actually playing it better than Billie :)
And when they did Jesus of Suburbia Billie brought up a girl to sing half the song :)
