farley drexel hatcher Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Back in the early days when they toured in the Bookmobile, the van was broken into while the band was onstage and their clothes and money was stolen. With the help of one of the local girls they were able to play again the next night in borrowed clothes, and given a place to stay. They showed their appreciation by writing "Thank you and we love you" in chalk on the girl's pool's diving board afterwards. Quote
Isabel Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 He used to but he can't cause his kids have gotten to bigI only read that this year though Quote
Bohemian+Scandal Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I only read that this year thoughJust because you read it this year doesn't mean it happened this year. Lol.Billie coached his son's little league sometime inbetween AI and 21CB. He recently said that they've now gotten too big and can outplay him or something. Quote
Isabel Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Well wherever I read it said that he currently coaches a kids' baseball team. Quote
desertrose Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 According to an interview in 2006 Billie Joe actually grew up in Fairfield until he was 3 then moved to Rodeo. (Fairfield is east of Rodeo between Vallejo and Vacaville.) They take mortorcycle rides for down time. They listen to satellite radio and their ipods for music. interview starts at 40 2 Quote
Stephanie. Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Billie was a baseball coach?! Maybe he can come over and teach me somethings I don't know Quote
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I read in one of the drum magazines (sorry don't remember which) that Tre had fully restored his drumkit from Woodstock and said that it still had mud left on it from that day. Also he always records using the same snare drum. Edited January 2, 2012 by basketcase4933 2 Quote
Heather. Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Billie was a baseball coach?! Maybe he can come over and teach me somethings I don't know He was a soccer coach too! There's a picture somewhere of him and Joey's team when he was little Quote
adie21 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I love how half the thread is about Tre. Okay random fact, At one concert (Not sure which, sorry) Tre and Billie were barking at Mike to freak him out. 1 Quote

XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I know a lot but here are just a few that come to mind: *Billie hates guns. He believes all guns should be melted down or destroyed *Mike's into motorcycles and bikes and shit like that *Billie enjoys surfing *Tre loves sushi *Billie likes putting together home movies *Mike used to be obsessed with wanting to fly 1 Quote
adie21 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 *Billie hates guns. He believes all guns should be melted down or destroyed Haha where'd you find that out? Quote
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Haha where'd you find that out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye00dNoesFU 2 Quote

greendaytodeathandback Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Billie's cat really was in the dryer in Deadbeat Holiday, as he said on Twitter Quote
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 The Judge's Daughter was written for K. Swagger, whose dad was (is?) indeed a judge. Quote
beejeezee Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 *Billie likes putting together home movies I thought he sucked with electronic items? Quote
adie21 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I thought he sucked with electronic items? Haha come on give him some credit. He's had a computer for a few years. I bet Adrienne does all the work. 2 Quote
Hermione Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 The thing about Billie liking to put together home movies comes from an interview in 2004/5 where he said he'd only just got his first computer and was just starting to use it, and was trying out putting together home movies on it. So it's not really much of a fact that he "likes to put together home movies". He didn't say it was a hobby or anything, he just said he'd tried doing it when he first got a computer. 1 Quote

Interviewer: "In your spare time, besides for music, do you have any hobbies?" Billie: "I've been putting together home movies on my computer. I got a computer for the first time ever, so i've joined the human race." Since he was asked in general if he had any hobbies, and that was the only thing he responded with, I would assume that he's pretty into it and considers it a hobby. Just sayin'. 1 Quote
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 OMG! He was mugged??? I wanna give him a hug really bad! Anyways, thank you. Lol yeah. And no problem! (edit: sorry for the double post. my bad.) Quote

Oops, I stand corrected. I still think he said it like it was just something he'd been doing recently though, rather than something you could state as a fact that he enjoys doing 7 years later, if you see what I mean. But him saying that is an interesting fact in itself either way so thanks for finding the quote! Quote
