We don't know for sure, but we speculate it was Desensitized.

It is Desensitized, its on the Japanese and Australian version of the album, its also a b-side to Good Riddance and on Shenanigans

More of a question about the shows, anyone who went to an Australian show on the last tour, how much were the tickets you bought? Just out of curiosity.

I got a question! What's the deal with the microphone at 0:54 in this video? I've noticed that Billie says something into it between the songs sometimes. Is he giving instructions for stage crew (telling which song is the next one so they can put right lights and pyros) or something?

In this video he says something into it during the song (at 1:35):

P.S. That fucked up NGFL is hilarious :lol:

My guess is something like giving cues to the rest of the band. I've noticed he usually does that before they do *something* with a song. For example when they did that Scattered/Dancing With Myself mash-up thing, he went to that microphone right before he went into Dancing With Myself, and in that first video he probably tell them that he's gonna play NGFL (which I guess wasn't on the setlist), or the second video that he wants to finish the song/what he wants to do for the next song. So to inform them what he wants to do so they can do it too.

Thanks a lot! :) That was my another guess too. In the first video when Billie Joe says something into the microphone, I think I can hear him saying: "Nice Guys Finish Last". Is it just me or does someone else hear it too?

Cost me $110 for each night in Brisbane

Okay so I found this on wikipedia about Good Riddance (Time of your life) from the cast album. It says

Despite being in the encore of the show, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is not featured on the album. It is, however, available as a free download to audience members, and when downloaded, is added as track 23.

Is this true or not because I can't find any thing else about it or is the person that wrote that just getting confused with being able to download the audio for it from the show you were at? The only weird thing is when the track doesn't go as track 23.

The funny thing about that is, if you put the album into Windows Media Player or iTunes, it shows up as a two separate albums, eleven tracks on each disc, so I have no idea why it would be track 23. I manually put one onto my cast album, along with Goodnight New York and a version of Basket Case Billie did there.

That forum is limited to members with over a certain post count because we don't want random people to come in and spy on where our members will be meeting up. Obviously you're not one of them, but unfortunately, you just don't have the posts to see that.

I was wondering: How many guitars does Billie Joe have? around...

I was wondering: How many guitars does Billie Joe have? around...

In these 3 Muchmusic interviews you can see a good amount of the guitars in Green Day's studio - http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/hookingupwith/index.aspx?eid=29326

Billie has said in interviews that he has a cheap acoustic guitar around his house which he uses to write most songs on. You probably also know that one of his favorite guitars is a Fernandes Stratocaster he named Blue which he received when he was 10 years old. Billie also likes to colllect vintage Gibson Les Pauls, one of which is one of his favorite guitars he named Floyd. The signature Billie Joe Armstrong Gibson Les Paul Jr. is modeled off Floyd. You can see that guitar here - http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Billie-Joe-Armstrong-Les-Paul-Jr.aspx Billie Joe also plays Fender Telecasters, Fender Jazzmasters, and Gretsch guitars. Here's a page with some more in depth info on the guitars he uses. It's really helpful, I visit it all the time since I play guitar myself - http://www.uberproaudio.com/who-plays-what/130-green-day-billie-joe-armstrongs-guitar-gear-rig-and-equipment
