justcause Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I've had the idea for a while that we should have some kind of permanent resource on Green Day's albums, movies, and history generally. I'm thinking of something that could be quite simple to start off with, and be further developed if desired as time goes by. It would simply bring together information that already exists all over the site. For any album, you would have :- - a brief description of how it came together, maybe reviews it got - some photos of the era - links to videos - articles or links to articles. - fan memories/ comments. It would be there in a simple form to be added to as people found anything new or interesting to continue. I imagine it would have to be overseen and edited from time to time. If it were to happen, I volunteer straight away for Insomniac! I also figure a decent version of Green Day's story, covering their Gilman Street years, etc., should be available. I think these resources would be great for established fans to refer to and contribute to, and it could be the first place you send the 'noobs' to educate themselves! Ok - what does anyone think of this?

StrayJr Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I wish we had a past tour date list. Starting from way back when up til now, that way we could get a count on almost every show they've done. You have a great idea as well.
Guest Holden Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 do you mean like.. sections on the site?
justcause Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 do you mean like.. sections on the site? That would be for Admin to say - I wasn't sure whether I should approach from that angle first, or whether it would be worth considering at all if there wasn't sufficient interest, so I just posted the idea. At its simplest level, it could exist as a thread - the first post could contain an introduction and the bulk of the information, then people could add to it in later posts. It would still need editing, though.
ArmatageShanks39 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 oh god, arent you that person who was wondering "what blvd of broken dreams means to us" or something?
jesus the rage guy Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 cool, when we can start this idea?
belficat Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I'm happy to help. I enjoy writing alot so I wouldn't mind writing about their history, or anything like that, as long as I have the facts. But I think its a nice idea.
justcause Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 cool, when we can start this idea? Well, there hasn't been exactly what you'd call a huge response!
