Little Boy Named Booze Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Did GDC will have a makeover to match the new album ? Having Green Day wrote in Ketchup would be good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The origin of “39/Smooth” is that it was named after Billie’s oldest brother, who had just turned 39 and they thought he was smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And got it, I thought they were referring to the first full compilation album. Edited September 11, 2019 by Pansyhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the 39 comes from that but I'd only heard that "smooth" was a word they liked saying at the time, did they say that? If so that makes the title more amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymWarnerGermany Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Does somebody know where I can find a full discography of Green Day? WIth Singles and everything, but sort by release date? (Discogs mixes up releases that came out in the same year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singles are released at different times in different countries. Some of them we don't even know exact release dates for. I believe Discogs is the best you're gonna get. You might just have to take Discogs' list and adjust it yourself with a little bit of research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 So I was wondering, do the GD boys always have some sort of security person with them? Or can they go do what they want on their own during normal days? Like what if they just want to go get a fucking coffee or something? Is there still a body guard with them? That would be super lame for them imo. Having to have someone guarding you all the time would suck. What if they want to go for a walk or go hang out with friends or family on their own? My assumption would be that they are only dogged by security people/body guards while they are actively on tour, at promotion events, or playing random shows like when they're doing Coverups or the Longshot.

Only for events - in Oakland they just go about their business as far as I know - @desertrose would probs know better than me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 @The Insider Cool. That's what I thought. Nice to know. I'm glad they're able to have nice personal lives away from everyone else when they want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think there's plenty of evidence that they just go about on their own and plenty of anecdotal evidence of people just running in to them walking their dogs or whatever. They do have regular security guys though, Eddie and Arturo when they are touring etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Disciple Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I can imagine they need the security while touring but wasn't there some crazy woman stalking them at one point? I don't remember the story but they briefly touched on it in the Wrigley Field interview for RR. Am I imagining that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t mention it there but there is a story from many years ago where this woman was stalking him and writing letters saying how she was going to kill Adie and become his wife. He hired a private investigator and it turned out to be an artist trying to get his attention. I’m sure he’s a lot of crazy dealings but that’s the one story he’s told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
