Haha, yes I did. Not only because of what we talked about in the Masturbation thread, but because I normally go by this one anyway.

Thanks! :) So back on topic, if anyone knows any places that still sell Adeline Street merch other than the Adeline Records store and the one I put a link to, that'd be great.

In the Cometbus thread, this (paraphrased) quote from Billie was mentioned: "I fucking hate college kids. They're handed this education and opportunity from their parent's bank account."

Does anyone know where that came from? I'd really like to know in what context that giant ass of an unreasonable generalisation was made.

Does anyone know where that came from? I'd really like to know in what context that giant ass of an unreasonable generalisation was made.

This is the whole quote I believe:

"I fucking hate college students, to tell you the truth, because they've been able to go to school, get an education, live in the dorms, and get a free ride from their parents. I'm also envious, because I never had that opportunity to learn. I wrote a song on the new album called 'Brat' about waiting for your parents to die so you can get your inheritance. Which my son will probably be singing one day himself."

I don't know in which context he said that and I don't know from which interview it is either, but it's definitly during the insomniac era. Hope that helps (:

What happened to GDA Download of the Week? Also, is there ever going to be a chance to get the multitracks again? Thanks!

is that supposed to be Larry Livermore at 4:12?

:lol:

No, I can kind of see the resemblance though. It's just a random punk in the audience.

It just kinda vanished, none of the mods bothered to do it. And no there won't be a chance to get the multitracks again, they are banned because they are copyrighted material and its gonna stay that way, sorry.

They aren't banned because they're copyrighted, they aren't they're banned because they "don't want GDC to be a place where people gather to try to crack the encryption on .moggs"

That text made me wanna cry. I have nothing against him for saying it... it's normal for him to feel envious. He didn't have that opportunity, he probably wanted to be able to have the chance to go to college if he wanted to. But he couldn't because he was poor. :cry:

Wow, because everyone who goes to college obviously get everything without working for it and just use their parents for their money. Hell, of course everyone who goes to college doesn't have to pay a penny for it. Damn, he's got a lot of faith in young people.

Sorry, that just pisses me off, envy on his part or not.

thanks for finding the quote, though :)

he quit high school for the band...

I mean, yeah, it's sad he didn't have that opportunity or whatever, but if you quit high school a couple of months before you graduate, I wouldn't say he wanted it that bad at the time anyway.

and don't wrongfully generalize and insult people, and proceed to say that you're envious of them. fucking hell. edit: that last sentence was @Billie, haha.

Being envious of something you don’t have and want is a feeling that everyone have experienced, but to hate those people because they’ve had opportunities you didn’t get just goes way too far imo. It's sad he couldn't have that chance to go to college but like Sanne said, if he quit high school to focus more on the band, he wasn't that passionate about pursuing there..

Yeah it’s not like college students don’t work their asses off and get everything they want by their parents. I’m sure it’s the case for some of them, but to generalize and say that everyone who goes to college is like that isn’t right. Well now that it's been over a decade since he said that, maybe he sees the whole thing a bit differently..

And you're welcome btw :)

When will Green Day release 2011 Tour Dates?

^It's highly unlikely that Green Day'll tour this year.

He wanted to go to college sooo badly, so he quit high school the day he turned 18...

They've already finished the 21CB tour, so there's very little chance that they would announce any new tour dates. It'll be a few years before they start touring again.

Can anyone tell me where the quote from Mike about Tre's 'huge, overlapping foreskin' is from? :lol:

no but I mean, maybe he wanted to go to college later on. If he didn't then why would he even mention that he never had that chance?

Posted

Don't forget he said that when he was still young himself, only 23. It's likely his views on education (as well as many other things) will have changed since then.

F school!

cool story bro.

why this thread though?

The discussion of Billie's opinions of college kids provoked it, I'd imagine.

This isn't directly related to GD, it's related to GDC/GDA which is related to GD, but which person on the podcast is who on the forum? So far I know that GreenDayTone is Tony, gdkid2010 is either Matt or Mikey, and Andres is obviously Andres.
