that new-ish tattoo Billie Joe has? the three-word phrase across his collarbone? what does that say??? :ninja:

i've found a couple good pictures of him where i can see it, but i can't make it out!! :pinch:

It says "Be silently drawn" which is reference to a quote from the poet Rumi. The full quote by Rumi is "'Let Yourself Be Silently Drawn By the Stronger Pull Of That Which You Really Love.'"

I'm not 100% on where he got it done but I have a feeling it might have been in Texas when the tour went through there (but someone can correct me on that one). If he got it in Texas, it would mean he got it late-August of 2010.

could anyone tell me from which magazine this quote was:

billie said:

" when joey was little he pulled down his pants everywhere he went. he would not stop. i told him to stop oney day and if he did it one more time a snake would pop out and eat his thing off. he gave me a look and said " I don´t want that to happen. " I said: "good cause I want grand children." he had no idea what that meant."

I rode it somewhere but can´t remember where :pinch:

I've seen this before and I reeeeeeeaaaaaaaally think it's fake. I really can't imagine Billie would say that to his child and it sounds like it was made up by a 13 year old. So yeah I'm thinking someone just made it up.

There was a Nimrod-era radio interview where Billie talked about how Joey (who was a toddler at the time) was jumping on a trampoline and pulled his pants down, and his wife said "he's just like you!", because Billie had recently pulled his pants down at a gig and jumped up and down trying to get his bum in the camera shot :lol:. I'm guessing that was where the idea for that made-up quote came from.

Yeah I think a real quote had a fake bit added to it, there. Do you know where that Nimrod era interview might be? I swear i've never seen it or heard it but i've heard of it a lot XD

It's not on youtube unfortunately. Can you download things and listen to/watch them on your laptop? If it's just that you can't find the link, here's the actual link you click to download it:

Wait for the timer on the bottom-right of the page to get to 0 then click "regular download", then a grey box pops up and you click "save file", "OK", and it'll download it.

A while ago, I saw an interview with some girl from MTV talking about Green Day's 2009 appearance on the VMA's on YouTube. That was the time,they played East Jesus Nowhere and at the end Billie had a whole bunch of the people from the crowd up on stage (and a member of Fall Out Boy also came up). Anyways, in the interview I mentioned above, the girl said that they were originally supposed to had a pyro-filled ending to the song without the audience, but Billie's changed the plans on-stage and had the audience come up without letting anybody at MTV know.. I remember the MTV girl said that she had to quickly get a got hold of everybody involved with the pyro at MTV and to ensure the safety of everybody on stage she told them to "kill the pyro". In the video they also showed a clip of Green Day rehearsing East Jesus Nowhere for the VMAs with the pyro-filled ending. Anyways, I recently tried to find that video again on YouTube again and couldn't find it. Does anybody else remember the video I'm talking about and know where I could find it?

Also, I heard a rumor that the reason Billie's name is spelled the way it is was because his mom was drugged up on pain meds when his birth certificate was written. Sounds sketchy to me, but I thought I'd ask is that true?

That comes from that jokey list of 'facts' about the band called "Green Day Bits" in the 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours album booklet. It says "Billie's mom spelled his name wrong on the birth certificate cuz she was on drugs". Pretty much 100% sure it's a joke haha. Especially as his mum's called Ollie and his sister's called Hollie. Plus I don't think you fill in a birth certificate when you've only just given birth :lol:

this.

I've not seen or heard of any additional footage or info on what the guy was doing.

I'm assuming he was being violent.

The guy in that video was yelling stuff out about how he hates Green Day, etc. And I guess being violent too. He wasn't a fan and only went to cause trouble. When Billie jumped in, he accidentally punched the guy's girlfriend by mistake - who actually was a fan of the band. He invited her to the next show to say sorry in person XD

where did you get all that from? I've always wondered exactly what it was all over

I can't exactly remember; some newspaper article from around the time it happened, I think. It was still quite vague but that's the jist of it XD
