Tre was involved in a unicycle accident that involved him riding it right off the stage, which resulted in one of his testicles getting knocked back up into his body.

How's THAT for a lol-worthy injury?

There's more. Here's a link for ya: link

re: Mike's nose- the camera's didn't catch anything, they just cut to him and his nose was already bleeding. I'll transcribe from the audio of the show. After the song, the conversation between him and Billie went..

Billie: [to crowd] What's that? [turns to Mike] Oh shit! What just happened?

Mike: The ceilings are a little too high [steps away from mic and comes back] too low.

B: Here, put this on it [opens a beer]. Here...drink Bud [giggles].....[to crowd] wait a minute; now, did he get a bloody nose because one of you guys are punk rock? Or...or because you're punk rock because the cameras are on? It's a question! Just a question. [to Mike] What just happened? Are you okay?

M: I'm sorry, I think I broke my nose.

B: [snickers] The cocaine, with the cocaine-

M: [interrupting, and sounding a little annoyed] No, my bass hit me in the nose.

So, he could have stumbled but to me it always sounded like he jumped and the bass whacked him on his way down.

I used to have an animated .gif of Billie getting hit on stage with the shoe, but never a video. I don't think the guy was allowed to upload it

Tre cut himself on a cymbal during a performance in the WBCN studios two days after Warning came out.

Billie chipped his tooth I think, too. He mentions it in an interview somewhere, about how you could the nerve ending hanging off and all that.

And I'm not sure about this last one, but I think I remember an early show (maybe sometime in '93) where Billie broke a string, and the tension relief sent it flying into his eye. Can anyone confirm that?

Do we honestly need a thread that's this obsessive? It's not even consequential.

I dunno, it's definitely something that they used to talk about a lot. They were known for being accident prone, Tre even said once (joking) that they were going to write a book about all their injuries and that it'd be 'fat enough to sit your kid on at the table'

And it's no more obsessive than the 'which Green Day member would you want as a brother' thread. And lord knows that's still kicking about.

At the Phoenix Foxboro show a little kid hit Billie on the head with the tambourine...

Pwned.

This video has the clip where Tre talks about getting his head cut by the cymbal. It's at 29 seconds.

^Yeah, it was funny. The little kid somehow gets up on stage and Billie has a little conversation with him, asking him what school he goes to and stuff like that. Then when he was getting ready to get off stage I think Billie gives him the tambourine, and the little boy hits him on the side of the head with it. :lol: I think that's how it went. I'm so short, and with Billie getting down to the kid's eye level to talk to him, I could barely see...

Edit: Sorry, I was replying to GreendayxGirl.

Billie once told he had fallen down from the stage. He showed the bruises in the interview. :lol:

His girlfriend broke his nose.

Yeah, fair enough I guess.

Wow. Now there are some injuries. :lol:

It's not a Green Day injury (tho Tre had crutches at the time), but during EdgeFest '98, Bill W. from MuchMusic was doing an interview with Mike and Tre on a golf cart, with the camera man sitting on the front.

Bill jokes at one point, thanking the camera guy for his bravery, because "knowing your reputation... he's dead."

Mike was driving, weaving back and forth, and he's driving pretty fast at one point and goes around a turn and Bill starts sliding off the back, he tries to hold on, but he loses his grip and flies off, screaming, and when he hits the ground he sprawls onto his back and his head just smashed into the pavement.

One of them yells, "oh shit!"

Mike reverses and speeds back to Bill as he's getting up, Tre's like, "Make sure he's dead!" LMAO

Bill hops back on and then goes, "did you see my head hit?"

Tre says "yeah" while rubbing the back of Bill's head. LOL

Then they continue with the interview and Mike drops him off at the First Aid tent.

EPIC LULz

I just found this:

Bills' Top 3 Fav Moment:

1. The Extravagant World Music Awards

Bill reported on the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco, for six years in a row, beginning in 1996. "It's very surreal to be in the French Riviera, covering parties thrown by the super rich and extremely inebriated – a bunch of A-list stars acting like 15-year-olds who've gotten sloshed for the first time in a friend's basement. It's a world apart from the quiet comfort of my favourite Queen St. sandwich shop in Toronto."

2. Green Day Golf Cart Dive

While interviewing Green Day in a fast-moving golf cart during the 1999 EdgeFest tour in Edmonton, Bill took a nosedive and kissed concrete while managing to keep his mic up in the air without it being damaged (what a thoughtful M3 employee).

3. Madonna's Mansion

In '98, Bill waited over an hour for an interview with Madonna in the living room of her Hollywood Hills mansion. "She didn't offer me anything to eat or drink, but was happy to leave the stereo on as I sat patiently. And what was it playing? Madonna hits, of course."

^ :lol: Is there any video of it?

I've never found one, although it was aired on TV obviously.

Too bad. I'd like to see it.

^I'm sure I saw a vid of the guys on a what I guess was a golf cart or something like that and Billie falls of, and Tre and Mike drive backwards to get him back, on youtube, but I guess that's a different video...

I don't think such situation would have happened twice :D So that might be it.

Hahaha this thread is pretty epic. Some of those injuries are very lulz-worthy.
