Video interview with IGN

[farley drexel hatcher]

I think Tre has been around Billie too much, the 'y'know's are catching, it seems. Cool interview though

[themole]

I love the look Tre gives the camera 6:11 in when the guy mentions the Dookie demos...

[cabot gal]

can someone upload this onto youtube or something?

[Angela.]

Cool. Thanks for posting.

billie sure has been sounding dumb in these interviews. He doesn't have any idea what he wants to say. They act like they didn't even write the album. I mean tre forgot the name of the first act.

I also loved how billie was like "that became gloria" and mike was just like "...I know." Mike was being a damn secret keeper.

Yes, it's a hilarious plague. Hide!

You know what's amazing, though? (But not really surprising...) For the 'you know' count, I came up with:

34 - BJ

3 - Tre'

4 - Mike

That probably isn't right (I probably missed some for BJ) but it's still funny.

Think about how many times they've had to answer these questions already. If you had to answer the same question again and again (probably numerous times throughout one day) you'd get a bit complacent too

[gdpunk2]

HAHA I love how they came out with 'We tried to play 86, and it was just horrible'

I posted this very same Video yesterday. Even had IGN.com in the title, but someone told me it was another company that did it - so a Mod changed the title of the thread. Here is the link:

Lol my bad. XD I figured out why it looked so familiar. It's because Billie looked the same as in a short MTV video posted a while ago.

it is slightly ridiculous isn't it? If I was interviewing him, I'd want to say "NO, I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING"

[Ingrid]

^ Yeah. I used to think it was cute, but with all the recent interviews I find myself starting to get annoyed with it.

I feel sorry for them though, having to answer the exact same questions over and over again. I don't think I can bare listening to Billie Joe explain the Christian/Gloria thing one more time... They must get fed up with it too.

I disagree. I think he's always come across as unsure when talking about his music in interviews, really. Something like that is so personal to him it must be hard to explain it on the spot to some random interviewer.

When he's saying 'you know' multiple times I think it's because he takes time to choose his words carefully when he speaks instead of blurting out the first thing that pops into his head. He's already chosen the right words and said what he wants to say in his songs, so why not let them speak for themselves instead of trying to explain in detail?

Yes I put the download link in your thread, it was the IGN interview from yesterday, I don't think it should have been called muchmusic. I'll post it again.

It's no big deal. Was a simple mistake - either way, majority of people on here got to see the video. That's all that matters. Oh and thanks!

GET OUT OF BILLIE JOE'S HEAD! :whistling:

I agree with what you said.

[.:Whatsername:.]

I liked this interview, and the interviewer. They had some good questions and I liked how he actually asked Mike and Tre if they agreed with Billie.

Aha, I loved "It became Gloria." "... I know, I wasn't sure if you wanted the cat out of the bag." We got more Mike and especially Tre talking too.

Old news

I´ve watched it for like 300 times Great questions, great answers (most of the time). But nothing can top the "Kerplunk Steak" question from the 1Live Interview

[Guest Hayley]

Great interview, well, Billie uses "you know" way too much. I really like it though.

I agree. My friend always talks like this. He says y'know and like for every other word. And he isn't an idiot. Well.. haha.

But I think Billie Joe just always talks like this, so, yeah

[Beathe.]

I like that interview. Thanks for posting

[IscoredWaddlesgoals]

They must get so bored at having to answer the same questions over and over again. Can someone not ask them something original and more interesting ?

[.Holly]

aww Billie just made my day When he said about fans that were 14 when American Idiot came out and are now 18/19, and he's watched them grow up and start voting and become alcoholics (lol). I felt like he was speaking directly to me

Is it because of the you knows? Give the guy a break

Uh so what? People forget shit, even stuff like that. And who cares what Billie sounds like, maybe he doesn't know what he wants to say, it's not like it's fucking scripted and says exactly what he's supposed to say and is suppose to memorize it. As for Mike, he never says much in interviews anyway because Billie usually either interrupts him or keeps talking or most likely brings up what he was gonna say as it was and he explains anyway why he didn't answer it. Loosen up and relax.
