Do you guys like where Green Day is going?

[McNavdo]

I won't say Green Day is on these forums, but close enough.

I wont say Green Day is on these forums? do you know something we dont?

all i would like to see is a new album that isnt a concept album. 1 concept album-Great, 2 concept albums=acceptable after success of the 1st, 3 concept albums=milking it way too much and its time to give up

why not give us a proper rock album and show the likes of Muse, Coldplay, MCR etc how its done

[heartscollide]

I don't have anything to do with Warner so unfortunately I can't answer that. I do know, however, that the guys themselves are furious about it.

-GD

Yay! Because we are too!

[Emmalee]

THIS 1000000x! And please also say thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! This is so touching and its nice that although we're a small country we still matter to the band.

Very much so. It always seems like so many bands don't care so much about the smaller, more distant countries like us, we get left out and screwed over so often. We (well, I at least) appreciate it so much that Billie Joe and Green Day made such an effort to get here and play not one but two incredible shows for us.

green day have been on gdc before but i wonder if they have there own account and have actually posted any thing

That's actually now my job.

As long as Green Day keep putting their heart and soul into their music, I'll be happy. You can tell when a band is making music because they absolutely love music, or when a band is in it for just money and fame. When I saw Green Day in Vegas it really was one of the best nights of my entire life. They connect with fans more than any other band I know of, and they put on a hell of a show. Without Green Day's music, I really wouldn't be who I am today and their music will always have a special place in my heart.

[heartscollide]

Oh! Question: Do you have any idea why Green Day took so long announcing the New Zealand support? Couldn't they find a band they liked or something?

[Lyz Z]

You have the greatest job EVER.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

And Green Day won't come to Canberra (not that I blame them, but still). Even though it's freaking tiny and barely anyone even knows it's the capital of Australia, I would still love it if they did a show here.

If we even have anywhere big enough to hold their epic awesomeness.

A funny story about that is Billie had his heart set on rocking New Zealand. Quote time (or it was what he said as best as I can recall) :

Mike was talking about how he was looking forward to the NZ shows.

"Look, we're going, we're playing, we're playing fucking hard, we're going to drill their fucking heads in that we don't fucking lose our fucking fans!" -Billie

Hahahah what would we do if most of his quotes didn't have at least one "fuck".

[Guest Green Day Band]

Because the New Zealand shows were put together a lot quicker than the other shows on the tour, management had actually completely overlooked the support band. It wasn't until Tre was going through the itinerary and pointed out 'hey, where the fuck's our support?' that Billie drilled the tour management and got a support band together. Hope this answers the question

Canberra was actually on the shortlist but due to time restrictions and probably venue issues the management pulled Canberra from the tour. I would daresay the guys will play Canberra on their next tour. (Whenever that is).

Oh that makes alot of sense!

We kept bugging Frontier Touring about it but I guess we bugged the wrong people! : )

Thank you for answering all our questions!

[parinaz]

I haven't been in any of their concert by seeing vids and pics and what ppl have said about their show I understood that they're keeping their shows a bit repetative the usual acts by billie the usual acts while king for a day the usual water sprayer and etc.

while there was no Restless heart syndrome song ever (or maybe once)

I want them to be more honest with their fans we see videos for their side progect foxboro hot tubs while they're unofficial and there is no announcement from band about it.

Restless Heart Syndrome would be as oe of their greatest hits while as i said there are no issue or anything about it we just heard it on the album just this!

I don't know who you are exactly but that's a little of what i want from them

sorry for poor English

That would be amazing Ah well, it's nice that they were planning on coming here. And Sydney is only 3 hours away I guess.

Thank you so much for replying

Well he can rest assaured that they gave us an amazingly energy filled show that everyone is STILL raving about. They couldn't honestly have done anymore than what they did for us and even though it was the last night of the tour they seemed so fresh.

do they know the may become as a Warner's rag doll? jk they'd better change their label.

another thing is RHS must be a single and I would like to know what exactly made you come here and made a survey or something? (I've read your first post)

Without going into detail, or reasoning, it was actually Green Day's decision not to heavily publicise the album.

And I quote, "let's not make it big. Let's just make it something for our guys. For our people. Let's do this for our family.' -Billie during the publicity meeting.

-GD

why?

To retort to the first comment, the guys have made no plans to switch labels. As far as Restless Heart Syndrome being a single, I've heard no word either way. It's probably the only song on the album that hasn't been discussed at all as far as being a single.

And why am I here? I'm here for Green Day and their management to hear what the fans are saying, to fdind out what the fans are happy about, what they're not so happy about; and obviously along the way I get to talk to the fans and relay general comments and questions between the fans and the band.

More than anything though, I'm here just to listen and discuss.

I swear every time I hear Green Day mentioned on the radio station I listen to, it goes along with some comment about how great they were live. It makes me smile.

And yes, I was so impressed and grateful how alive and excited they were when they performed, in contrast to the majority of bands that play here at the end of their tours, and almost seem to put in less effort because they just want to finish and go home.

oh really? it's made me sad then. :/

could you please tell us what was the reason that GD didn't send back replies to a Q&A which is related to 2006/2007?

and I'm an Iranian fan .if you wanna tell them about the fans in here you can add this one ,they have fans from middle east. and they should think of some tours near us we can't buy tickets online though

[GreenDaymaniac2000]

sorry to keep asking about the NZ shows but did we not get the screen stuff and effects due to Billie being sick? or was it due to the size of Vector or the whole last minute planing thing?

I still REALLY liked the backrounds at our show tho! esp. the Kerpluk looking Green Day one.

and you can't tell us why they don't wanna discuss about one of their songs from album? it's weird why have they made a song while haven't played it live!

You're very lucky, I was just on the phone to one of the project managers for the band as I read your question. What he tells me is that it was simply the venue. Now I wasn't there or know about what it looks like or anything like that, in fact NZ was the only place I didn't go to with them.

I'm guessing the venue was a little small? Or if not, I would just say there was an issue with the lighting/sound. I can't confirm that but I am content that it's probably the reason.

I'm not saying they don't want to discuss it, I'm simply saying that it HASN'T been discussed as yet.
