Green Day Quotes' chasing.

Thanks for the link, Sandra! Thats a great interview

[Hermione]

^ Thanks from me too . I've heard many quotes from that interview but I'd never seen the whole thing.

The Adrienne quote - "Adrienne is the only woman i'll ever love" - the only place I ever remember reading that was in an issue of Top Of The Pops like, five years ago. So yeah XD but it was simply that, the second part of the quite was definitely made up.

Oh and that rather disturbing Tre one, came from an interview/article with the band while they were here for V festival in 1998. I read it somewhere online a while back. That's also where Billie's "Tre, you might get laid!" quote about the All Saints is from. To go even further into that, that's how the quote came up. Billie said that because he'd just found out they were playing the festival too, and then the interviewer said that one of them was actually pregnant, so Tre was all, "Great, then I won't even have to use a condom". And that's when Mike popped up with that wonderful little quote.

Brilliant! Nice to know how all those quotes tied together

[Radioactive1]

I know where this is from

It's from an VH1 interview about the making of 'dookie' from 2002

VH1: So what's it like now for Adrienne to be married to you and your biggest record is filled with songs about another woman?

Billie Joe: I know she likes that song! I've been married for almost eight years, so Adrienne and I are comfortable enough that I've had a past. She's got a past, too. She was engaged, had boyfriends, had flings, and I'm comfortable with that, otherwise I wouldn't be married to her. Adrienne is the only woman I'll ever love.

omg thanks so much for that

School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?

I don't get why people think that it's Billie who says it. I can understand why people think it's Tré, since you hear him say it in Egos & Icons, but, Tré actually says "Like Mike always says, practice makes perfect...."

Here's the interview where Mike says it. (3:56)

[Hermione]

^ I think that's one of those phrases that they've all said at one time or another, I've definitely heard Billie say it too. Once those boys have a phrase/saying they like, they all tend to say it lots of times

[elisa]

Yeah, I have heard Billie Joe saying it as well.

haha yes, I noticed this as well

thanks for that, I'll put it on the OP too

Thanks to you too! And I don't know, GDA says it was Billie, and GDA is THE website about Green Day.. xD

like... y'know?

Reading the VH1 article...

There is not a band you can mention that we haven't kicked their ass on stage at one time or another.

I thought it was Tré the one that said that!

Well I must say, it is a freaking epic quote

[farley drexel hatcher]

It's not a quote but I was always wondering where the bit of info about Tre being godfather to Billie's kids comes from. I know i've never heard it anywhere

[LetItBeHappy]

same here... I think I've read interviews where it's like "oh, and Tré is the godfather", but I've never read/hear them saying it ._.

[Hermione]

^ Yeah I have a hard time believing that without a direct quote from the band about it. I can't really see them as chirstening/godparent types, especially given their comments about attending a friend's christening and it inspiring East Jesus Nowhere!

I think I might have read it in the same book that said Tre had legally changed his name to Tre Cool - which isn't true. Maybe that explains it? Or maybe one of them made a joke about it and it got misconstrued. Pretty sure if it was true we'd have seen a quote about it.

Anyone know where

Yeah fuck me! I wish all of you could fuck me!

is from? It's obviously from a show (probably during Hitchin A Ride), but every time I see it at the top of GDA I wonder which show. I wanna find a video of it

[*Maria_Laura*]

Yes ! you're so right ! I knew Tre said it somewhere and that somewhere was Egos and Icons and that he said that someone else says it and I forgot that that someone else was Mike ! lol confusing ! xD

But yeah I can't understand where they got that Billie said that and most people believe Billie said it too :/

I think my older cousin had the video where he said that. I haven't seen it in years not sure if she still has it but I'm pretty sure that it was a concert in Europe during the warning era I believe.

Hey I just found out where Tré’s quote about satan comes from. It’s in the last part of this interview.

http://www.greenday.net/media/articles/Herald.html

I also found scans of an interview I’ve never read before. This is the one where Tré says that he wants to survive an avalanche

http://www.greenday.net/circusmagazine.html

[LetItBeHappy]

^ good one!

[Hermione]

Thanks! That narrows it down quite a bit. Might have a look at some videos that fit that description.

Thank you so much for finding these, never seen either of them before

And I haven't read it yet, but that photo of Tre is fantastic

[Fanny.]

You're welcome! There's a ton of old interviews there

http://www.greenday.net/articles.html

Tré's photo is indeed awesome XD

[elisa]

I was reading this interview and found an interesting quote..

But there are limits as Billie Joe points out.

"A role in the Simpson's? I'll leave that to the red hot chilli peppers," he says scathingly. "It's a funny show but I wouldn't want to market myself in that direction."

lol.

and the "I want to wash your grandmother!" quote is also from this interview

[Hermione]

haha thanks to both of you! I had to post it here because there are too much good interviews in there. And it’s always nice to read stuff from past eras to know their point of view on certain things. Like Billie said on a radio show during the AI era that there wouldn’t be a broadway show coming out for this album or that he didn't want it turned into a play, if I remember correctly. There's also the quote Elisa posted about the simpsons lol

Haha the Simpsons one made me laugh. And yeah ever since the musical came out I'd been trying to remember where Billie said that, and I found it the other day! It was the Fook WKQX-FM 2004 radio interview (in the GDC downloads section). He said

There's no broadway thing that's gonna happen. Over my dead body.

Hehehe

Yeah I just remember that’s where I heard it from (: I like the fact that even though he said it, they ended up with a musical version of it on broadway. And that’s awesome, because they’re not afraid of doing things they never thought they’d do. They always push themselves in new directions and I love that.

Oh I totally agree. Still funny though

oh yeah, it really is XD

[Guest]

I once had sex with a 250-pound woman in a Honda Civic, which, let’s be honest, isn’t a big car. I was only 18, but I don’t regret it, not for one second. What an experience.

Did Billie really say this or is this just bullshit?

'Meanwhile between note-perfect rehersal takes of new single 'Minority', Billie was telling me about one of the scarier aspects of his fame. His notoriety. "I had some girl threatening to assassinate my wife this year" he confided, "She said she wanted to assassinate her so that she could become my new wife and raise my children instead. Did I take her up on the offer? No, I actually called out a Private Detective to find out who this person was. It turned out to be an artist wanted us to use her artwork and that was thier way of trying to get me to take notice. Scary. What else can you say to that but 'fuck off'?"

I know this one's from a book, anyone know which one?
