Montclare Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 For some reason, this just popped into my head and I can't think of who it was. I remember there was a story about Billie getting into a fight with some other artist in the punk scene and I can't think of who it was. I feel like there was an awards ceremony involved (either the fight happened there or this artist was supposed to present GD with an award). I remember the guy did an interview taking about the incident where he made fun of Billie's height. Anyone remember who this was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Has anyone here ordered anything from the Green Day store? I saw a t-shirt I want and I usually don't buy much merch but I am tempted this time. Just curious what the experience was like ordering from them, like how long it took, customer service issues, etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the guy did an interview taking about the incident where he made fun of Billie's height. Anyone remember who this was? It has its own section on the guy's wikipedia page : Quote Feud with Green Day At an awards ceremony for a music magazine, Buchan was presenting an award that was won by Green Day, a band that Buchan hates. Buchan had to present the award to Green Day. Buchan alleged that during the after-party Green Day member Billie Joe Armstrong confronted him and said "when you die, I'm going to be standing over your grave, laughing at ya." Buchan said he then responded to Armstrong, saying to Armstrong: "I've got something you'll never have, mate. You could have a big record company and loads of money but I've got something you'll never have, and that's respect from the punks. You can not buy that, you have to earn it." The two then had to be separated by onlookers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattie_Buchan#Feud_with_Green_Day ...and then everyone clapped lmao. If it really happened exactly like that (although I doubt it - plus it leaves out whatever he said when presenting the award) sounds like one of the most hilarious confrontations of all time 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it really happened exactly like that (although I doubt it - plus it leaves out whatever he said when presenting the award) sounds like one of the most hilarious confrontations of all time “respect from the punks” always gets me… I’m like “what punks and where are they now?” Any of them that are still around are generally “successful” and “sellouts” and not respected by “punks” I’m sure the best choices have been made and if you have to start a fight at an after party… jeez… is that done by someone happy and successful? Building a community and being successful by helping other people do well is as punk as you can get (I think) and I think Billie Joe is a great example of this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Agreed! I clicked through to the interview for the full account from the man himself Quote It’s like, years ago I had to present a music award in London, and I had to present an award to Green Day, and I fucking hate Green Day – they’re shit – and I was sitting there after the awards, with me ex-girlfriend, sitting there pissed and Billie Joe himself comes over with about ten of his wee cronies, his pals. And he stands, and the guys like a midget, a troll, he’s like a fucking hobbit. He goes “One day I’m gonna be standing over your grave laughing at you”, so I looked at my girlfriend and I just laughed and then I stood up and I bent over. I could have just punched him in the face but he’s like a child he’s that small. So I said to him, “I’ve got something you’ll never have, mate. You could have a big record company and loads of money but I’ve got something you’ll never have, and that’s respect from the punks. You can not buy that, you have to earn it.” So respect from people, that’s more important to me than money. These are things that make my life worthwhile. So apparently he didn't even call him short (just commented it while telling the story lol) and Billie just spontaneously came over and said that lmao. I'm sure he said something while presenting the award to provoke it - still hilarious either way though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issues I've had with the online store were my digital downloads not arriving and my RevRad pre-order arriving late. Nothing major and as far as I remember they replied quite quickly about the downloads. You shouldn't have any problems with a shirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The store was also fine for me when I ordered a God's Favourite Band bundle (only time I've used it I think). And that's with international shipping as well so seems more than likely that it's fine when ordering in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrived a couple of days/maybe a week? later I didn't have any problem but I suggest you to choose the tracked shipping And I've just seen the moto skeleton zip hoodie and I need it.

Guest Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thanks to everyone who gave advice about the webstore! I did order the shirt earlier this afternoon. One thing I found weird was that you just place the order after you enter your info and don't get to see the total with like shipping costs and stuff. Then they email you a receipt with that info. Also the email said there are shipping delays due to covid and did not provide any details on expected delivery date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pretty much every company is saying the thing about shipping delays due to covid at the moment just to be careful. Amazon says it but I've ordered a ton of stuff from there in the last few months and I haven't had any long waits or problems. Not sure about the delivery date thing but it's not entirely unusual for some places not to say that, and it might just have a general "orders usually delivered within - days" note somewhere instead.

Squashie Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I haven’t had any issues with shipping for the last few months. I just shipped a package to my cousin and it arrived within 3 days (Kansas to South Dakota via USPS). I’ve ordered from Amazon with hardly any delays with items once they’ve shipped.

Like "and I cannot emphasize how small this guy is. Did I mention he's tiny? Billie Joe Armstrong is microscopic." It's just hilarious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Just got an email saying it has shipped with UPS. I have a tracking number now but there are no tracking details yet; probably a label has been created but the package hasn't actually gone out yet.

RedundantIdiot Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What is the earliest year in which Billie was pictured with a beard? Have either Mike or Tre been arrested? Spoiler Two completely random questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Great timing, just saw this https://geekgirl78.tumblr.com/post/660520730283376640/gayenerd-i-become-weird-beard-and-would-run-down Not sure about your arrests question but I seem to think Tre had a car accident and hit a policeman or something? In Canada I think, forgot to put that in! Billie Joe once said they had issues getting into Canada ever since.

Flashback Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Does anyone know which kind of sounds Jason Freeze plays on the keyboard during the shows? Does he play on every song or not on all? In some songs, like WMUWSE it‘s an organ-like tone, but does he play a „regular“ piano sound in other songs? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
