Fuzz Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 For the sake of limiting confusion, i just created a thread for us to talk about this whole U2 thing in one place, since there was already another conversation going on the Random News thread, we'll just combine everything here http://www.greendaycommunity.org/index.php?showtopic=85037
justcause Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Did I sound doubtful? It's just my interpretation of what he posted on twitter Naw, you didn't sound doubtful, I was just commenting-his-comment sort of thing.
Marie_GD Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 But what did he mean with "it's my nail and your coffin pal"?
Izzard Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 But what did he mean with "it's my nail and your coffin pal"? I think he means if you play a festival we will kill you...or kick your ass. So he'd drive the nail into the other bands coffins. But that's just how I see it
justcause Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 But what did he mean with "it's my nail and your coffin pal"? Sounds like a challenge to me.
Florence Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I think he means if you play a festival we will kill you...or kick your ass. So he'd drive the nail into the other bands coffins. But that's just how I see it That's a good interpretation!
Hermione Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I have literally no idea what he's talking about . "It's my nail and your coffin", he's invented this phrase himself so who knows what it means.
Laura! Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I have literally no idea what he's talking about . "It's my nail and your coffin", he's invented this phrase himself so who knows what it means. I googled it and this is what I got: "A nail in someone or something's coffin is a problem or event that is a clear step towards an inevitable failure."
Zelda Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It's just Billie being Billie...when no one can understand him.
WestboundSign! Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It's just Billie being Billie...when no one can understand him. Yeah.. that's absolutely right
Izzard Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I googled it and this is what I got: "A nail in someone or something's coffin is a problem or event that is a clear step towards an inevitable failure." I guess he's not to keen on the idea.
Hermione Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I googled it and this is what I got: "A nail in someone or something's coffin is a problem or event that is a clear step towards an inevitable failure." Oh yeah I know the phrase nail in the coffin, it's just the way he's said it "my nail and your coffin" I can't tell what he means by it. However I've just seen someone say this in the other thread: To put a nail in someone's coffin means to put them one step closer to death. Billie is saying that if he agrees to do this festival it will put the other two bands one step closer to death - musically as live bands I see it as throwing down the gauntlet to them and saying "it'll be the death of you because Green Day's so much better live." That's my interpretation of his tweet. I think this is right. He's not saying he doesn't wanna do it, he's warning them that Green Day would kick any other band's arse live
Disapperingirl Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Oh yeah I know the phrase nail in the coffin, it's just the way he's said it "my nail and your coffin" I can't tell what he means by it. However I've just seen someone say this in the other thread: I think this is right. He's not saying he doesn't wanna do it, he's warning them that Green Day would kick any other band's arse live Great, I've just read last BJ tweet and I was like "what the fuck does it mean?!?" ..so thank you ..but sorry..which festival??where??
WestboundSign! Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I guess he's not to keen on the idea. If that's the thing, he's probably not.. But maybe he just means (like others said before) that Green Day are going to kick the other band's ass.. And that's what they'll definitely do!
reckless Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Oh yeah I know the phrase nail in the coffin, it's just the way he's said it "my nail and your coffin" I can't tell what he means by it. However I've just seen someone say this in the other thread: I think this is right.

Marki. Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 In other words he's saying they will kick their asses. That's exactly what I thought when I first read it, I think Billie meant exactly this
Hermione Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 In other words he's saying they will kick their asses. Oh I didn't see your post before! Well I agree haha
Undómiel Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I love it!! Hahahaha Billie being awesome as ever... And modest as usual.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Well that was confusing. Yay for GDC threads with people who can explain shit though
WestboundSign! Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Well that was confusing. Yay for GDC threads with people who can explain shit though Without GDC I would understand nearly nothing he's talking about
Tubbie Head Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I think this is right. He's not saying he doesn't wanna do it, he's warning them that Green Day would kick any other band's arse live Hahah That's certain! Without GDC I would understand nearly nothing he's talking about yeah, exactly!
Smoothed Out Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I don't think Billie's too keen on the idea of playing a festival this year...idk just getting a vibe...could be wrong through /sarcasm
pasalaska Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Gerard from the AI musical just tweeted: #IdiotsLoveKyle aw, that's sweet
spark in the night Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Billie's tweet about that skeptical festival confused me but maybe what he truly meant was that Green Day fans would consume the entire venue. Or that their performance would completely outshine and surpass Metallica and U2 also...that is the strangest lineup ever
