Green Day Question and Answer Thread

Did the various artist compilation that was supposed to have sampled the Green Day cover version of I I Fought The Law mixed with Cuban music ever come out? If it came out, any opinions on it? and where can I find it?

I have another one of those Cuban flavored CDs where they sample the great Radiohead song "High And Dry" mixed with the Cuban music, but you can barely tell Radiohead's music is even on it.

I had that song, though I only ever listened to it once. It was literally the exact same vocals from the version we all know of I Fought The Law, over a Cuban beat. It wasn't anything exciting to be honest.

I think it came out last summer. Even though it is just the original with a Cuban beat added, I love it :lol:

It's been on iTunes for a while too if you want to download it.

GDA posted about that cuban remix back when it first came out.

If you searched you'll probably find it...

Does anyone know where I can find a Foxboro Hot Tubs shirt?

I've found some in the past online, but I can't seem to find any at the moment...

Also, is there any such thing as a (The) Network shirt? I coulda sworn I saw a picture of one before...

Here are my questions for the day:

1. After Green Day released American Idiot, why did it take them 5 years to get 21st Century Breakdown out? I know it's kinda late to ask the question but I'm curious. :blush:

2. Does Billie Joe still do drugs?

Thanks!

21st Century Breakdown is such a big record. Sure, with American Idiot they had a tour as well, which was pretty long. And they're people after all, they need to spend more time with their families and friends, doing other things than being a band member.

A record like 21st Century Breakdown (I'll say it, imo awesome as fuck) isn't something you can make in a few months, it needs time. They had over 40 songs I think, so yeah, they just need time to make a kick ass record. I think.

I hope it won't take too long for their next record to come out, but they should take their time again. I guess I'd rather wait a bit longer, so they can make another really awesome record as always. :happy:

None of the members do drugs anymore.

FBHT shirts - I'd say your best bet is to keep looking on ebay to see what pops up, like this one for example.

Yes, there are Network shirts. I have three myself.

This one:

('The Church of Lushotology' and 'Less Guilt, More Booze')

and variations of this design.

I've got that design with 3/4 white sleeves (pic), 3/4 red sleeves.

I've also seen it short sleeves in baby pink with blue printing, and short sleeves black with red printing.

There used to be a Network online store through Cinderblock but that's long gone.

People always say that but no one really knows if that's the case. Billie's said he doesn't do harder drugs now but I'd be extremely surprised if none of them smoked weed anymore.

Well Billie once said in an interview once Joey was born he had to clean up his act with it. I don't know if said he fully gave it up but he said he had to stop leaving it around the house. They do still smoke and drink so theres a chance they still do a bit of weed just not like they use to.

Yeah I reckon that's probably how it is. They're obviously responsible people and have said they've cleaned up a lot but that doesn't mean they've officially sworn off all drugs for life.

I agree with you guys...

And didn't one of the pictures that Billie tweeted from South America have some weed-rolling paper in the background?

Rolling paper isn't weed or tobacco specific...

Seen some around that may be weed specific. Atleast they're 1,25 times longer than regular ones. Couldn't find the Bob Marley ones online though. :sleep:

The drugs thing; there's a quote from Billie that I think hints at the fact they were doing drugs doing the making of American Idiot. But i'd say all hard drugs are finished with now. He said himself last year that he doesn't do any now because, "I'm at an age now where I worry about my heart." I'd say AI was their last album of partying hard and doing drugs. Obviously they still drink, but i'd say drugs wise they're finished now. Apart from weed occasionally XD

Alright, thanks a ton, that's wicked helpful!

I'll be looking out on eBay for one...

Oh, well there's my intersting fact of the day :D

no worries :)

and good luck. It might also be an idea to seach for band merch sites. There's a million out there, maybe a smaller, more obscure one might have some stock left, who knows.

hey nancy reagan, how the fuck do you know they dont?

The thing is, we have the drugs debate every now and again and it never gets resolved. I'm assuming they don't do hard drugs (and it would be bloody stupid if they did) and I'm not sure about anything else. I think someone said they'd seen Tre smoking with some of the AI cast, someone, somewhere once mentioned meeting Mike & Tre in an airport and apparently, Mike said something about telling her to tell her brother not do 'headache inducing weed shit' (she'd asked, he didn't just randomly blurt it out. AND WHY DO I REMEMBER THIS ? :unsure: ) so I don't think he does it. Billie is strange enough off drugs, nevermind on.

Other than that, I've got no idea. But I don't think it's worth arguing about.

As people have said they probably still do it they just aren't into it as much as they were when they were younger. Unless someone can post evidence of one of them saying they do or don't then theres no point in discussing it any more because no one is 100% sure if they do or don't. And if they do its probably just a bit of weed here and there
