Todd Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 The only ones I can catch on my own (from videos) are: ??? Ray is running scared ??? Running from the light of day, ??? go(?) away ??? from his hand(s) Follow me if you understand ??? the trigger off his gun(?) The final sin and now he runs Johnny Ray is running scared, as he ___ his flowing hair Running from the light of day, making ___ all the way the slightest urge goes from his hands. Follow me if you understand. he's got the trigger of his gun Final sin and now he runs That's what I've got from the recent performance, but "all the way" doesn't match up in the studio version 1 Quote

(Or he just screwed up. Not that anybody could even notice.) Quote
UnoDosLuke_xx Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Does Tre Cool hate David Copperfield? Quote
desertrose Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Larry Livermore @LarryLivermore Apparently Gilman was to close in 1988. How was that prevented? I have a book coming out later this year. It contains a story about this. is it true green day sent u a copy of look for love as a demo tape? Ha! Good one. No, Sweet Children never sent me any kind of demo tape, but I did try to convince them to name their first EP "Look For Love." They said no, and then changed their name to Green Day. Quote
Popular Post Hermione Posted April 29, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 29, 2015 Does Tre Cool hate David Copperfield? From this article: Tre Cool has a recurring violent dream about the magician David Copperfield. "In it, I'm pummeling the shit out of him," he says. "That dude freaks me out. I hate him. He's a horrible fucker." So apparently yes 6 Quote
Billie Hoe Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 From this article: So apparently yes what's the date of the interview? Edit: Sorry, never mind it was when nimrod came out ("His freshly died green hair" ... Ok, Kerrang) 1 Quote
Pat1308 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 ("His freshly died green hair" ... Ok, Kerrang) Well, humans do lose some hair everyday, so... Quote
Jirachi Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Do we know of any alternate song titles/song titles that were changed? I know Platypus was just gonna be called "I Hate You" but Billie thought the title was too generic and boring so he made it Platypus (I was told because the ugliest animal he could think of at the time was a platypus? not sure if true but watever, not important) and I was told that East Jesus Nowhere was gonna be called March of the Dogs but was changed, dunno if its true though. out of curiosity, any others?

With Platypus, in one interview he says that it was because he always wanted to name a song Platypus. Also it is true that East Jesus Nowhere was originally called March Of The Dogs, but they changed it last minute. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is that Letterbomb was originally called Clusterbomb. Quote
Jirachi Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Oh yeah, wasnt Loss of Control going to be called Crushing Bastards? Quote

UnoDosLuke_xx Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Each time Billie Joe played live alongside The Replacements last year, did he perform the entire set with them or only specific songs? Quote
DannyDirnt Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Longview - "I'm Fucking Wasted" Geek Stink Breath - "I Dunno" :lol: There were quite a few that I didn't know/remember though so thanks! Quote
Panda Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Does anyone knows the meaning of the line "Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial" of Good Riddance? Dead skin on trial? Quote
Chin for a Day Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Does anyone knows the meaning of the line "Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial" of Good Riddance? Dead skin on trial? It is an interesting line. I always thought that it meant to not forget but to let the past go. You have the tattoo which is permanent, but dead skin flakes off. 4 Quote

You have the tattoo which is permanent, but dead skin flakes off. Thanks, that sounds logic. I like metaphors like that, but I've ever wondered about this line. Quote

I always thought that it meant to not forget but to let the past go. You have the tattoo which is permanent, but dead skin flakes off. I also view it as reflecting on memories and the past and questioning decisions made by your former self - for me, dead skin represents what a person 'used to be'. there will always be something that reminds you of a memory, like how a tattoo is permanent 3 Quote

Hermione Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Two great interpretations! Never thought of the dead skin flaking off thing. Quote

ghesboro Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I while back I read about Green Day's techs forming their own band and I know they opened for Green Day on the last tour a few times as a sort of soundcheck, including at a concert I was at. Does anyone remember what they're called? I just can't seem to find this info anywhere but I remember reading it somewhere Quote
