There's a reference in a Patent Pending song. Can't remember the title now. I bet @solongfromthestars will remember which it is

Classic You!

Hello everyone. I'm pretty sure I read an interview or article a while ago. There was a part about Basket Case, especially about a male prostitute (“He said my life's a bore”). Like it was some guy the band members knew or something like that, a some kind of “tribute” (?)

It's like a Mandela effect 😅

Sounds like a rehash of other bootlegs to me. Possibly worth going for if you don’t already have.

I saw this yesterday at a saturn shop in germany. I couldn‘t find any further information when this were recorded but I think one of these is from MTV live session in Milan 2004.

He sang it wrong and kept it.

I don't think you know what the Mandela effect is.

Are you maybe of thinking of that interview where they were talking about the huge male stripper? He was called Vladimir or something russian-sounding like that I think? Iirc correctly it was from the Prednisone interview?

No, I remember it was like a written interview/article or something, not that one about stripper  Idk, it really seems to me now that it never existed. Didn’t want to disturb anyone.

Maybe I saw this, but after a while I started to think it was about a man, because when people talk about this song, they often talk about "he" pronoun. https://ibb.co/5G3Hj1L

Oh yeah no that definitely makes sense. I remember that interview too, I think that's what was meant to be the inspiration for the line but they used a male pronoun for whatever reason (probably cuz either Billie is bi or by mistake I guess).

Well, I decided to take a punt on it coz anything live from GD I've just got to have. Six CD's with 6 good quality live broadcasts. The only problem is you don't know where, and you don't know when these broadcasts are from.  You can to a certain extent get an idea but that's all.

The track listing per disc above from the supplier is completely different to the track listing per disc on the cover of the album. And neither listings fit any of the songs and number of tracks per disc. 

I know its bootleg, but man what a fuck up. Still its GD live, maybe one day I'll find out somehow.

 

But Hey, catching up, got another CD of GD live, Transmission Impossible, 3 CD's released 2019, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, Nov 18, 1994; Nice Guys Finish Last, House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, SC, May 6, 1998; and Reading Festival, August 24, 2001. I'm in heaven.

Just heard that Chic apparently opened for Green Day? Sounds an odd mix to me, anyone know when/where?

It was their one hit song

Has anyone got a download (don't see it in the section) of Green Day The Ride documentary they are happy to share with us?  I had it on my Sky Box which has died, would love to have it and it's not on Youtube.

Sorry, have tried Discogs, Archive and usual search sites without success. Will keep trying. I've not heard of it, what's it about if you don't mind me asking? I thought I had most of GD docs.

[jengd]

It’s quite a wide ranging documentary, ends with Revrad so covering a lot of their career, I really enjoyed it.  Thanks for helping.

What happened to Billie Joe's step-father?

I suppose the silence on the topic speaks for itself. Maybe he’s still around, who knows.

I just wonder if he's out there is offended by the handful of Green Day songs referring to him.    Not sure how bad of a guy he was, or if Billie and his siblings were justified in disliking him for some reason.     

I hope Brad found happiness, lol.  

Why Do You Want Him? and Jesus of Suburbia and there's probably some more.

Green Day "The Ride" documentary broadcast through MTV November 2016. Only found the advert so far. The site FanPop has it but is copywrite blocked. 

 

 

[jengd]

Yep, it seems pretty locked down.
