Yeah I like the interviews too.

What keeps this band together?

Tre: We love each other.

Oh I might start translating the Tre interview. When I'm in a good mood. (Or bored...)

[Katarina.]

Why does this have to be a German mag

Hehe

I'm staring at the scans hoping they'll turn understandable if I stare long enough

I'm almost desperate enough to type it into Google Translate. Almost. I'll give this staring thing another minute.

[Gingerdevil]

really? oh well here they are again.

Oh seems like we both had the idea to scan the article .

Well, I wasn't brave enough to open an extra thread for it. But who cares? The interview rocks!!!

[Katarina.]

Haha, those quotes are so funny

Great interview!

[IscoredWaddlesgoals]

I feel so thick, I can see the words but I don't know what they mean !

[Supermodel*Robot]

that first poster is amazing! The graffiti art really does look incredible.

How I wish I learned german!

[Marie_GD]

Someone PLEASE translate this.

And thanks so much for the scans! I love the pics

[Gingerdevil]

Already posted in another thread . I just descovered this one too late.

Tré:

Question: What can we expect from the upcoming world tour?

Tré: Expect everything! I would repeat the act with the flag in due time...

Question.: The act with the flag?

Tré: A.: When we were at Norway last tour, we met an old friend, James, who's really a giant. Sometime at night we climbed onto the roof of the hotel, took the Norwegian flag and hoisted one of Jame's incredibly huge boxershorts instead. There was a picture of it in the newspaper, with the comment: "Green Day are in Town..." So dear readers, if you ask yourself, in which hotel we're stayin' just look, what's waving on the roof of any hotel!"

Btw: Special thanks to xXMaggyXx . She translated this part, cause my english sucks.

[perfectpitchrob]

[Luci_Minority]

Tre: We love each other.

(pause)

That’s nice.

Yeah. It may sound weird to say it. Nobody of us could imagine to do something different, now or in the past.

Is friendship more important than ability?

At all points. That‘s my tip to all readers, that want to make a band in the future: play with persons you like! Play with friends in your group, not just with a random guy because he has better equipment. Just make music with your damn friends- even if you suck badly. At the end of the day you suck badly together and it‘s not half as bad. It‘s as simple as that.

The most band members that play together for over 20 years need sooner or later at least private distance. You never moved away from each other.

Where should we go? People frown when we enthuse about Oakland and ask us why we didn‘t move to Hollywood. My response is the same every time: „ I‘m not in the film industry, so that‘s not my business.“ I mean, there‘s nothing wrong with LA… Okay, actually there‘s much wrong in LA. (laughs)

You don‘t feel the need moving somewhere when you are in the studio or on tour for months anyway. Coming back home again after that is absolute luxury. We are all fathers and weren‘t always successful husbands. I have two ex-wives and with both one child. One lives in NYC one in San Francisco and I live in Oakland. It‘s already hard enough to manage this all from here.

more coming soon.

Anjaaaaa, I know it's a lot to ask, but is there any chance of a translation? All the German I knew back in highschool is long gone. *groan* I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT SAYS! /petulant child
