Green Day to do a Reddit AMA Saturday at 5PM ET

[Maddie86]

wtf, it was supposed to be an hour! they were late and only answered questions for like 30 minutes! I feel almost as pissed as the people at last night's hour and 15 minute long concert!

A good question that was answered sarcastically, haha. "We named it after the song!" Nice.

[Billie Hoe]

They should do a AMA on GDC some time  There would be 500 posts/second.

LOL they answered that one so sarcastically. I wish they actually said how they came up with it though.

"scribbled eggs"

To be honest I blame the short/pointless answers on the fact that they gave themselves a time constraint. Like...if they decided to do the AMA when they weren't about to go play a fucking show they'd be able to answer more questions with more depth. But since they only had like 15 minutes they went with the pointless questions. Kind of annoying.

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

I postponed dinner for this... fitting, since it was entirely about food. Time to go eat and get back in time for (hopefully) a live stream of the NYC show!

Unless they do it on purpose.  Maybe they don't really want to do these internet q&a's so they give themselves as little time as possible and then just answer the silly questions because the answers are quick and easy.

[Tubbie Head]

I was amused with some of the answers. But seriously they're the biggest trolls ever. I love them.

[Jirachi]

Dunno if this was a joke answer but someone asked if there'll be b-sides or cut songs released. Tre said no and Mike said maybe ;-;

I don't really blame them for doing this for such a short time and only answering the silly questions. They must be stressed, they have been doing so much promo this week (and so much more to come) and they're playing a show in a few hours. Their promo team must be kicking their asses constantly (I mean look at how much their promo has improved and how active and present they are on social media!). I think they really want to do everything right this time and I'm really just thankful that they took the time to talk to us for a bit, even if it was about food. I'd be way too exhausted if I were in their place. 

It was still awesome and I had a few good laughs. Maybe they'll do it again some time when things have calmed down.

[solongfromthestars]

I don't mind that it was short and they only gave silly answers, I kind of expected that and it was still amusing. I also learned that I will never be using Reddit on a regular basis  

And yeah, I can't even imagine how tired they have to be! I can't keep up with all that promo and I'm only watching it from a distance.

[PurpleIron1039]

Wow, that was short. I was in the process of typing up a question when I realized that it had already ended  

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

It might be an unpopular opinion right now but I really enjoy the way they answer. Every conversation on a forum needs a troll and they did the job very well. Entertaining to read - it you don't expect serious answers.

That's the vibe I'm getting from this. They always start late, answer a few silly questions and then it's over soon. It seems like they're doing it because they have to but there's not much interest in it. Not that I blame them - it's like doing an interview but having to write it yourself.

To be fair the most active thread on GDC is about food.

Because I didn't use an emoji. 

Now you understand why I use them so very much!
