Green Day Question and Answer Thread

Which festival? All the big rock festivals in France are in June or July this year... Seems very unlikely to me...

That's what I was asking.

He just replied though and said it's called "Rock en Seine".

Just found this: http://www.festivalg...e-festival-2012

It's also on LastFM and some punk news site.

I guess this is their official site? http://www.rockenseine.com/en/

If it's comfirmed it should be on there too, right? I can't find anything about it.

It translates out like this

So far, three bands for the Rock en Seine 2012 confirmed

Green Day, Placebo, The Black Keys

Rock en Seine 2012 headliners are highlighted

8/24/12 to 8/26/12

Are Green Day religious?

Billie Joe was quoted in Kerrang! a couple of years ago saying that he was agnostic (as far as I remember!)

A friend just told me that GD are playing a festival in France in August on the same weekend as Reading/Leeds. Anyone know about that?

Efestivals say nothing is confirmed for 2012 yet ( http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/rockenseine/2012/ ) so sounds just like a strong rumour?

Hm, why should a site called "festivalguide" (a site many people get their information from) lie?

That's why it confuses me so much. Festivalguide is like THE website for festivals (in Germany, that is) and they're very reliable, usally.

Just been on Rock en Seine's website - they announced the first bands last year on 15th March so I'd imagine it's around the same time again next year (http://www.rockenseine.com/en/news/first-bands-and-tickets.php?id=44) As for the website, perhaps they've made a mistake, or they meant that they were rumoured headliners?

I thought it sounded more like clarinet, I maybe wrong, but is there anyone else out there that knows?

(It would make more sense, because clarinets are more similar to Saxophones, just saying)

Nope. I play clarinet and I know that's definitely a flute.

It sounds somewhat like clarinet because the octive used in the song is unusally low for a flute.

Hey people! Do any of you know which was Green Day's first show EVER? And where was it? I've always wanted to know that!

Their first show was more of a practice, at the restaraunt Billie's mom worked at at the time. Then right after that they had their real first show at 924 Gilman St.

Maybe this should go in the song meanings thread but does anyone know/have educate guesses as to why the lyric is "from ANAHEIM to the Middle East"? That just seemed so random, of all the places...Anaheim... if he was just looking for 3-syllables he could've gone with Jingletown...

Unless it's an attack on Disneyland.

Rock en Seine is 1 kilometer from my house, and they DIDN'T ANNOUNCE the lineup yet. There are just rumours : Radiohead, Placebo and Green Day. But NOTHING, I SAY NOTHING is announced. Otherwise I would know, I'm supposed to go. And it would be screamed on posters in all the town.

Rock en Seine is set on 24-25-26 of August if I remember. The lineup is supposed to come fast, but not now...I'm praying.

(plus, Rock en Seine is pretty big. They had Arctic Monkeys and MCR last year. Not so bad.)

"We rented out a movie theater to watch 'Team America'. But I started doing bong hits with New Found Glory and I had to leave half way through." - Tre Cool

Could anyone tell me where this is from? I saw it on GDA and I just have to know. :lol:

It says right on the GDA quotes page. It's from an an nterview with 'Law of Inertia' February 2005

This article: http://www.greendaya.../articles/48/2/

I can't find any info about 'Law of Intertia', so I'm wondering if that's not the name of the magazine. But that's all I could find (or at least that's what we had it filed under for years). If anyone has anymore info about it, let me know.

Edit: Hah, damn you Liam.

do people actually get to keep billie's "blue" guitar at shows? i know they are copies of the original, but i just wonder what all happens when they get one

Yep, if he gives it away they get to keep it. There are currently no replicas. The last one they had, nicknamed "Azul", was given away during the last tour in South America. The only "Blue" that exists now is the original.

I think somewhere in February 2009. If I remember correctly that's when I got it and had it on repeat for a long time. :lol::happy:

Hey guys! :)

So... I was trying to ignore all the videos on YouTube (about new songs... ok, except Amy&Carpe Diem), so the new album will be a completely surprise for me. Anyway, i saw the new studio video, when Billie's talking about this girl, Amanda. And he's been writing songs to her since 19 years. So, my question is: Is this the girl who was Billie's girlfriend, but then she left to Ecuador? And why is Billlie's still writing songs to her? :D

When i finished the last sentence I figured out that maybe i should post this to some 'New album' topic, but it's actually a question about Green Day's history, so maybe it fits here as well. :)

Thank you for all of your answers! :)

It was leaked on the 19th of February.
