Green Day GDA Q&A

[punk-rock girl]

Okay well i guess I'll post the question I've submitted inot the idiot club on numerous occasions.

'When I saw your show at Milton Keynes I was totally overwhelmed when you guys came out onto the stage. To see my favourite band play live was amazing and to hear and see the crowd enjoy every minute of it as much as I did made it the best day of my life. How does it feel for you when you go on stage and kids are singing back every lyirc to you, letting you know they are enjoying every minute of it just as much as you?'

i like that!

[Silje Kristin]

I would wanna ask them "What is the greatest thing a fan has ever done for you?"

[saurus]

have you found the meaning of life and if so what the hell is it.

I like A lot

Billie - Your dad obviously inspired you to make / get involved with music,, so do you ever feel you are in Green Day and producing music because you feel you are owe him something and dont want to let him down and do you think that it was because of him you got into making music or do you feel that he had nothing to do with it and you are purely making music for yourself?

I know its personal but its just something I've wandered....

I like the homeless one about the sign - thats good.

If you could morph into any ONE animal at any time, which animal would you choose to be? (all of them)

(a bit weird) Are there any myths / stories you have or still believe in (like there's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow)? i dunno it was just something a bit different....

Tre, what the hell does dog milk taste like - its just I heard you milked a pregnant dog before....(i'm sorry, its random )

Without Green Day who would you be?

That's all for now but I'm sure I'll think of some more

[Mybloodyvale]

it's an awesome idea!!! it's a pity that my questions will never be picked.. but i try,anyway.. sorry if my english sucks..

1 how did you feel at your very very first concert and where was it?

2 what's one of your favourite cd (not your own cd)? when you listen to it, what emotions do u feel?

3 what do you think when millions millions of guys and girls scream and cry in front of you?

4 what would you say to a band who dream to play music and to be appreciated for that like you?

5 tre, what advise would you give to a girl who plans to be a great drummer as you?

here they are, andres.. i'm not gonna beg you to pick one of them..but if you did that, i'd be gratefull to you for the rest of my life..and that's not a great thing

[0li']

=)

I'll try...

1/Why have you cancelled he show in Paris last november?

2/When will we have the new album?

3/What are you thinking when you're on stage, in front of your thousands fans?

[judgesdaughter]

I'd like to ask them if there is any goal they'd like to acomplish other than making great music. For example, learn how to cook , take a drawing class, etc.

or

What are their hobbies?

I liked these 3 questions submitted by others.

Have you ever received a fan letter, that really touched your souls, or brought tears to your eyes ?

How did you feel at your very very first concert and where was it?

What's one of your favourite cd (not your own cd)? when you listen to it, what emotions do u feel?

[*Megan*]

What do you think about people accusing you of "selling out"?

Do you think your music has changed a lot since your underground years?

[Burningout]

Whats the funniest thing a fan has ever sent you?

What do you think when you hear about people saying you've forgotten how to be punk or what punk is?

What do you do when your not busy with the band?

Question to Billie inperticular - Youve said your more the play mate to your children and your wife is the care giver. with your children on tour with you alot of the time do you not worry about them picking up on your language in the songs and the "things" you do on stage?

About Bullet in A bible ... was there any reason you chose not to put the whole concert on that dvd disc

How do you overcome your nerves at gigs

What where your first thoughts when you stepped out onto the stage at the milton keynes gig seeing all the faces and hearing all the screaming knowing you where about to make history, would/are you planning on doing a gig at MK bowl again?.

Will your next tour be world wide once again?

Do you ever listen to your own music?

[saurus]

If you could have a superpower what would it be? '(ie being able to fly) and if you could be any existing superhero who would you be, or would you want to create your own, if so, what sort of hero would they be and what "good deeds" would they do?

Just a pretty random, pretty cool question if you ask me, I think it would be quite cool to know

[Burningout]

I like that one...would be interesting too hear.

And the 2 questions about drugs, dunno how honest they'll be about being asked if they still do take drugs though

I like them questions too.

We know you never planned to be megafuckingsuperstars, but since you are, what are your favorite parts and your least favorite parts of that as you try to go about your normal lives? And how is it frustrating not having your privacy anymore?

Do you visit your fansites often? If so, how often and what do you think of all that stuff about yourselves?

Have you ever been frightened by a fan or fans and why?

What was the worst experience you have had at gig and why?

How do you handle the pressures of being in a different city everyday for two years, being away from family and friends, being expected to be at the top of your game each and everyday by all your fans, and appearances, interviews, award ceremonies etc. It seems like it would be more than one could handle.

What are things you enjoy that your fans do and on the flipside what can you not stand that your fans do?

What are the names of the three KLAX songs? Where did they come from and when?

what exactly is said at 3 min., 8 seconds in blood, sex and booze?

Have you been punk'd? if so, what happened and why wasn't it aired?

Do you ever listen to your own music?

Who is whatsername?

i love these questions i hope at least one of them get submitted

[Bachacek]

1) Do you feel happy right now?

2) What do you inspire with when writing lyrics?

3) You wanna be a minority, right?...Are you? I mean, a lot of people want to be like you and sometimes it can really seems they are (simple plan, for example). So, do you think, you are still a minority?

4) Your attitude to emo and all that stuff...?

5) Do you like all of your fans..? And do you like ME especially?

6) What do you think will destroy all the world?

7) If you were presidents of the world, would you make maths void?..or at least britney spears..?

8) Is it important for you to have your own image?

9) Can you make a really good pizza?

10) Dou you like better coke or pepsi?

11) Have you ever answered to some fans letter?

ok, thats it=)

and i really like this one: *have you found the meaning of life and if so what the hell is it.*

[Jimmy's_Rebel]

ooh - the one about being Punk'd is a good one!!

[greendayfan518]

I like this! All of my questions are for Billie.

#1. I notice you wear that polka-dot scarf in your back pocket at EVERY gig you play.

It isn't there to wipe the sweat off your face and you NEVER give it away.

Is it sentimental, and why?

#2. I am NOT talking about the Network. There are other bands that perform under a

psuedonymn when they want to play for the "fun of it."

This is a yes or no question:

Is there a psuedoname for Green Day?

#3. It must be difficult to go about your business in the general public.

What pisses you off about fan attention when you are NOT touring?

What pisses you off while playing a show?

#4. Would you be so kind as to smoke a cigarette with SWEET GERALDINE before she dies?

[Parley]

Someone may have already answered this (I didn't have time to go through every post), but what he says in "Blood, Sex and Booze" is, "Proche Europa" (pro-shay) which means, "Farewell, Europe."

There was a big thread about it one day. It's Russian, I think. Don't ask me why he said it in that song, though.

[cemetary_drive7]

These questions are for all of them...

1. If you could get rid of one of your tattoos, which would it be?

2. What's the quirkiest thing about you?

3. Have you ever taken nude photos of yourself?

4. If you could tour with any band, living or dead, what band would it be?

[Burningout]

I have ALWAYS wanted to know that seriously its bugged me since i first seen it

These questions are for all of them...

1. If you could get rid of one of your tattoos, which would it be?

If i was Billie the all ages one would be first to go i mean its not around anymore so the tattoo was wasted hmm maybe thats why he didnt get an idiot club tattoo.

Also technically they can get rid of their tattoo's its just a hell of alot of pain

Another question .... Where the hell is Ronnie Blake actually from and why do you always introduce him as originally from the country you are performing in

Another where is the worst place/country/state you performed?

[Parley]

one question could be

why have you chosen to put up a scenonography that reminds a lot german third reich' icons during the AI tour?

I do like that one a lot!

[Funky Ferret]

If they are going to re-record Kerplunk! and 1,039 SOSH.

Gosh I hope they don't. I love them the way they are, all messy and nice and stuff.

Someone ask this alread x3

[*lacey*]

alright- since i couldn't find my last post- here is my question #4... its pretty good- i always wondered if they let their kids listen to their music or not cuz well of all of the swear words and shit like that that they say and such- and if they do- what are their favorite songs? i don't know why i asked that but- i was just wondering...

[Isabel]

I like the questions people mentioned about the fans too. Like, what's the funniest/nicest thing they're ever sent you?

I just don't seem too interested in finding out about their personal life, because they come across as very private people, so I'd assum we'd get a very evasive answer if it was quite personal. Maybe not, but I just want to know alllll about the music!!

*cough 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours *cough

Its kinda hard for them to avoid listening to their parents music seams they attend their concerts at most times and well i guess their parents must swear infront of them everynow and again maybe not as strong as in the songs and shit but still i think they probably have and im pretty sure Joey has more then likely heard Bain stew seams it was written about him.

I guess maybe im wrong though

[firework385]

well... these questions are for any of the members

people may have already asked some of these

but i still like them

1. what are the most meaningful lyrics you guys have ever written?

2. when you were first starting out, did you ever think Green Day would be such a success?

3. What do/dont you like about fan attention?

4. are any of your songs connected?

5. if you could give aspiring musicians any advice what would it be?

6. What is your main inspiration while writing music?

[shir1212]

These questions are kinda stupid... but... whatever

1. what would you write on your gravestone?

2. when was the last time you've cried?

3. is there any song of other bands that you wish it was yours?

4. where do you think you would be today if this tape wasn't stolen/destroyed/got lost or whatever happend to it?

5. if you could go back in time, where would you go and what would you change?

6. what bugs you the most about each other?

that's it.

(I hope I wrote everything right.. My English's not so good..)

[inonoyet]

i would ask billie:

the song, "wake me up when september ends" is about the passing of your father... i was wondering, in the lyrics "like my father's come to pass, 7 years has gone so fast" and then you add "20years has gone so fast" towards the end. does this mean 7years since you started after you got blue at 11yrs and then 20 years since you got blue?

for tre:

can you seriously play any instrument you desire? because you seem to play every instrument known to mankind!

for mike:

in the earlier days of green, you have been known to have panic attacks. i was wondering if you still get those every now and then?

(maybe the mike one is a little personal...)

[saurus]

1. what would you write on your gravestone?

I quuite like that one, it'd make them think or you could change it to: What would you like written on your gravestone? (because at the end of the day you're not going to be able to choose are you?)

i would ask billie:

the song, "wake me up when september ends" is about the passing of your father... i was wondering, in the lyrics "like my father's come to pass, 7 years has gone so fast" and then you add "20years has gone so fast" towards the end. does this mean 7years since you started after you got blue at 11yrs and then 20 years since you got blue?

I dont know why but I dont like that one....

Edit: Also, I was thinking (dissagree please if you want, its just a thought) that probably we should ask questions more to ALL of GD considering it's GD offering us this amazing thing not just Billie, or Tre, or Mike, and think about it, if Billie ends up with them all Mike and Tre will be like WTF!! No FAIR!!!
