Playing new songs with Mike Tre and Jason the last couple weeks. Really fun. And working hard!

That just makes me smile :happy: I just like reading little things like that.

Armatage shanks was first recorded at the BBC in 1994. We were doing a BBC session and I went to the bathroom and noticed the toilet brand

Hey that looks like a good title for a song! I felt like I was getting pissed on at the time. Ha!

Haha, nice :lol:

But isn't it ARMITAGE shanks? =/

yeah that brand is spelt armitage but I guess Billie changed the spelling for whatever reason

I used to have armitage shanks sinks/toilets until parents got the bathrooms redone

Posted

Something is technically wrong.

Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.

:blink:

A toilet brand? Well, I did NOT see that one coming :lol: I seriously had no idea...

Posted

It's really a toilet brand?! I expected that, but I never thought that they'd take it as a song-name!

When I was on holiday in England, I went to the restroom of a burgerking and the brand on the washbowl said 'Armatage Shanks'

I was like: :woot: That's a Green Day song! And took a photograph of it :P

It's good to know that my expectations were right ;)

Posted

This is awesome, I'm so glad that he is back. :D

Posted

It's cool he's tweeting again. :)

I especially liked the one about the new material.... :banana:

Posted

He's tweeting again! :D

And I love that they're jamming again.

Posted

YAY!!! A.S tweet.

He probabaly change the spelling so as not to get sued! (Or misread/remembered it!!)

You are correct. :)

Posted

This is awesome, I'm so glad that he is back. :D

Same here :D

Posted

It's always nice to read Billie's tweets

I missed it! :happy:

Posted

OH MY GOD -- I just read his tweet of "Playing new songs... " And I'm so happy right now!!! :dance:

But... :mellow:

... I think he shouldn't have said that. Now we go crazy and desperate. :cry:

Wanna hear those songs! :pinch:

Posted

oh lol I didn't even notice it said "new songs" in that playing new songs tweet :lol: I just thought it said "playing songs" :lol::pinch::lol:

Posted

I'm so fucking happy !! :D"...playing new songs..." !! :dance:

Anyway, I wanted to hear a studio version of Dreamcatcher one day. :cry:

Posted

oh lol I didn't even notice it said "new songs" in that playing new songs tweet :lol: I just thought it said "playing songs" :lol::pinch::lol:

me too :o

Posted

Isnt the brand called Armitage shanks? With an i ? Because then he read it wrong, or just wanted to change a letter...

(I saw that brand for the first time when I went to the restrooms in the national gallery in london xD )

Yes. Probably for copywrite reasons I guess. Armatage Shanks is way cooler anyway

Posted

He probabaly change the spelling so as not to get sued! (Or misread/remembered it!!)

I'm placing all my bets on misread/misspelled!

Posted

Well, Mike just said that they were recording a new record, not who was doing it. It could be he wasn't even talking about GD... :sherlock:

BUT

:woot: SQUEE! BILLIE'S BACK!!! :runaround: I can't stop grinning like a moron.

AND

He's still only following Gaga... :mad:

Posted

Yay, it's good to see him tweeting again :happy: I love how they spell it "Armatage Shanks" when it's really "Armitage Shanks" :lol:

:mellow:

Posted

Great to see they're working on the new record already :) I expect it to be released in early 2012 which shouldn't be bad at all since they took five years for 21stCB and it wasn't that good...

So, less time = better record? :P

It probably just wasn't considered that good because it's almost damn near impossible to follow up an album like American Idiot, plus making everyone wait 5 years, it was highly anticipated. HAHa. And obviously the AI era still isn't over, either. So stoked for the next album!! :D

Posted

I wish we had a copy of the BBC Version of Armatage Shanks he was talking about.

Posted

I'm just hoping that along with the next album, they give Cigarettes and Valentines another shot. I mean, they should consider the live version testing the waters to see how people would've reacted to it, from what I see it's all positive :P

Posted

I know your gonna think i'm dumb...but i've heard that that's where he got the name from, but I didn't think it was serious, i thought it was a rumor :mellow::lol:

Posted

:mellow:

It is :lol:. Go to a public toilet in the UK and you'll see "Armitage Shanks" on all the toilets, toilet paper dispensers and sinks.

Haha I see they actually mention the Green Day song on the Armitage Shanks Wikipedia page
