Green Day Q&A Thread

[solongfromthestars]

It sounds like both Billie and that Wattie guy acted like immature assholes if that's true. Obviously Billie's comment was shitty and unnecessary, but I'm pretty sure he's acknowledged more than once since then that he's been a dick in his time, not to mention that he's now got sober and apologised in general. If you still want to think he's an asshole then fair enough, but there's not much more he can do about things he said years ago now. I also doubt someone like that guy would accept an apology anyway

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

 

so why is it not one single person has backed Wade up there was a huge crowd around (according to Wade) you clearly have zero understanding about how backstage awards shows work something like that would not been kept secret hush hush SOMEONE would have commented by now 

has Billie been dickish yes but then I just remember you're one who doesn't believe people can change and want to hold everyone's bad moments against them so we're going in circles

 

 

EDIT: Wattie I mean fucking autocorrect 

I really don't have a clue what you are talking about but it sounds awfully like what you said before so you are the one going in circles here

Also I didn't start this topic nor am I Wattie so how am I "holding Billie's bad moments against him". Get over it. This became pages of stupidity because I pointed out Billie was a dick to say that to someone. Fine. He was a giant fucking dickhead in my opinion. ITS MY OPINION. Deal with it.

werent you the same that was going off on Mike got posting a picture with Mike Tyson and using Tyson's long ago past against him? 

 

And we have pointed out that there is ZERO evidence Billie has even said that... 

[Todd]

This is just ridiculous

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

This just sounds like two whiny, self-entitled, rich white dudes acting like two whiny, self-entitled, rich white dudes. Can we agree to disagree and stop fighting now?

I very much doubt Wattie Buchan is anywhere near being rich

Well he's still a whiny, self-entitled white dude, so take out the rich part and the sentence still applies.  

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

I honestly thought Alissa meant Tim and Trillie. 

Billie seems to be weirdly into wishing people to die and schadenfreude by their graves. That's not a good quality. The Exploited guy seems to be a dick who likes to shit at others to emphasize how holier-than-thou he is. Not good either. We can argue who's a bigger asshole.

Well, you can also argue that Billie's been on booze, prescription drugs, meth, etc. for most of his life, which likely impacted his behavior and inhibition, so everyone probably doesn't need to take him so seriously. He never proclaimed he was the type to say things people want to hear anyway.

? I have never once felt self entitled 

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

? I have never once felt self entitled 

And I don't think you ever behaved like that, Tim. I was just saying I was puzzled when I read Alissa's post. I'm sorry if I hurt you, my point wasn't to criticize anybody and I agree with your opinion on this.

Yeah, that's what mental illnesses are - they impact behaviour in a negative way. I wouldn't hold things he did under the influence against him because of that. I was just pointing out he says such things repeatedly.

I don't know why I'm so curious about this, but does anyone know any information about the dog Mickey? He's the dog on the cover of Slappy and was apparently nicknamed Slappy by Jason Andrew Relva? Is this even correct? Do we know any other information about this dog?

I shouldn't wonder about this so much, but I am.

I think it's correct (says it in the "Green Day Bits" thing written by Aaron Cometbus in the booklet, some of which is true and some not but sounds true). As far as I know there's no more info, but to be fair I'm not sure how much more info there is to know about a dog . Only thing I can think of is maybe the owner of the dog is known? Anyone know that?

[Todd]

It's funny how people use Jason's middle name when talking about him, but understandable cause that's how y'all know him as

Why not?

[Laetitia]

 

Never heard of him but clicking the source links on Wikipedia led me to two interviews with him where he talked about it, the first from this year and the second from 2007, all he says is it was "years ago":

 

He sounds like a dickhead tbh

 

He sounds even worse than Johnny Rotten.

I'm packing to leave to NiFi Chicago tomorrow and as I put my American Idiot musical hoodie into my case, I started wondering if it's safe to wear a hoodie that says "American Idiot" and has a grenade drawn on it in the US and specifically in airports...? Any advice? Maybe it's stupid to even think about it and it's totally okay, but I don't know much about americans/american security and I don't want to risk it...

well are you dark skinned? If so then you'll be randomly searched anyways 

 

however if you can pass off as a white person you won't be bothered at all

Is this 'Blue' the same as:

yes, just different lighting/photo aging I guess

[Seanz25]

Really weird one - During the HOB show recently when the fight breaks out and they stop playing, Mike says 'Save that Shit for the Octagon' and Billie then shouts 'WAR' is that meant to be a reference to the UFC or is it completely unrelated? I ask as I'm suprised if they're fans we haven't seen them cageside as they always COMP bands. I recall the RHCP's going mental for the Connor McGregor win running around the octagon like fanboys.

[Tre_Archer]

Alright this one has been weighing on me really recently. Does anyone know what/who/where "Pasalacqua" is? Is it even real? If the song lyrics have anything to say about it, it just seems like a place in Billie's mind. Anyone else have an idea?
