On the subject of 1039 SOSH, I can't remember where I saw it, but Billie Joe said that he hates it when people say the whole thing, that it should just be said "Thirty-nine Smooth". Which seems weird to me, but apparently he wants to stick with that.

He ranted about it on twitter and then deleted the tweets the next morning, lol.

39/Smooth IS the name of their first album, to be fair. They released the 1000 Hours EP, then the Slappy EP, and then their first album 39/Smooth. 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is a different album that was released later on - it's compilation of 39/Smooth and the two EPs.

That's all he was trying to explain. But he got a bit angry about it :lol:

Edit: Too slow :P

In that german interview where the guys were asked about what they choose, if Simpsons or Family guy, Tré says Simpsons, right? :unsure: I can barely hear him.

Haha ohhh. Yeah, I know it's a compilation, that's why I was confused that he wanted us to call it by the name of their first album...but now I got it. Thanks guys. :thumbsup:

"I'm not gonna say anything inspirational, I'm just gonna fucking swear a lot."

What interview is that from?

the guitar intro (that goes into the whole song) of BOBD in BIAB, is it live?

Is it true that Billie Joe is playing the role of St. Jimmy in the American Idiot movie? If he is, wouldn't that slow down the new Green Day album from coming out?

Thanks :)

I'm pretty sure it's a tape (not live), but I don't have a source to back that up.

There's an entire thread to the American Idiot movie here, in which in the last 5-8 or so pages you will find loads of dicussion about that.

No official source has confirmed it as far as I know, but according to articles, it is true Billie is playing the role. As for delaying the album, there are different opinions about that, which you can definitely read a lot about in the thread.

Pretty sure its recorded. Watch it on BIAB, only 2 guitars on stage, 1 is on Billie which doesn't play at the start and the other is Jason but yet you hear that guitar intro and the acoustic guitar going at the same time.

Yep its confirmed, its on greenday.com. With it delaying the album, like the post above said, depends on which option they decide to do.

As I posted in the comments on GDA. There is a lot more to making a movie then just shooting it. You have set design, set building, editing, ect, ect... so the actual parts that Billie is doing in the movie may only take two months to film.

An official source has confirmed it.

Who wrote the"Green Day Bits" in the 1039 SOSH booklet? ( I kinda want to know who spelled "Billie" wrong)

This may seem stupid, but does anyone know why GD or BJ and Tre (ive never seen Mike?) decided to start wearing eyeliner?...just curious :P

Because they felt like it, simple as that really :lol:. I guess it looked good with their new smarter style of dressing so they went for it. Funnily enough they'd all worn eyeliner before, back in the early days of the band they often used to wear it. So it wasn't anything they hadn't done before. Check out Billie and Tre here

Oh, right.

I didn't see anything posted in the thread on here so I just figured it wasn't. Didn't even think of checking greenday.com

Sorry!

That's very true :lol:

Pretty sure it's a third party, athough people close to the band do have input and are the ones providing the items of information on occasion. The rest of it, they get from the same sources as people here do (including GDA sometimes!) although they have to go through the process of confirming it, so it often gets posted late or not at all.

That said, it is pretty sorry-ass that whoever updates the FB and twitter for GD didn't even correct the spelling of Billie Joe's name on the most recent tweet and FB posting. :wacko: I guess that is what happens when it's a business running things instead of a cadre of loyal fans.

Also, I say "ten thirty nine" and "Money twenty-twenty." :)
