Hermione Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 He didn't contradict it within that page, the things he said on that page contradict other things he's said. Yeah that's what I meant, but what other contradictory things has he said apart from variations of "I gave him/came up with the name Tre Cool"? I understand that without hearing him explain that he was already called Tre you'd naturally assume he made up the whole name. But since he HAS explained that he was already called Tre, that's it! He has no reason to lie so that's what happened.

He has no reason to lie so that's what happened. But he has said he gave him Tré as well. He directly stated that he gave it to him to make "Very Cool" and they dropped the S for the same reason Led Zeppelin dropped the A, so people wouldn't pronounce it wrong.

That doesn't necessarily contradict it. When he gave him the new nickname Tre Cool there was no rule to say he had to keep the spelling of Tre the same, he could've given Tre the new nickname "Tres Cool" if he'd wanted - but he obviously didn't for the reason you've just posted. He probably originally thought "He's called Tre, so I'll call him Tres Cool", and then decided to drop the S like you said.
Jaymee!! Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I don't think the origin of Frank's stage name has ever been discussed so seriously.
Guest Honey Emerald Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 No. If I did, I would have been able to find it again by now. Thank you for at least remembering it, it helps me to know that I am not completely insane.
green day is Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 What show did Billie play a tiny bit of Rape Me at?
Hermione Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 What show did Billie play a tiny bit of Rape Me at? Paris 1998
green day is Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Paris 1998 Thank you! The short piano you can hear in the beginning of East Jesus Nowhere? It's from Viva la Gloria (Little Girl). Definitely. Good sir! I insist you give me something to back up your claim with.
-Billiejoezee- Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I was having a little chat with some green day fans today, and someone said billie said in a interview that his family was from England? I remember him saying his mom was born in Oklahoma... And someone else said he was part Irish? Idk to make this more simple, what are billie's nationalities?
Autumn83 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 In a couple of the Foxboro Hot Tubs songs, what the heck does "bleeded" mean? Example: "Do, Do you get the feeling that you've been bleeded, 'cause now your bleedeng me" <- Broadway
Autumn83 Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Does anyone know what that girl is saying in The Network's X-Ray Hamburger? It sounds like shes talking in a different language or something.
Jimmy Strummer Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 It's German. Es wechselt nie seine Farbe; es wechselt nie seine Gestalt. Kann ich deine Hand halten? Sie haben uns gesagt nie direkt hinein zu schauen. Wir müssen sie alle mitnehmen; können wir ohne es existieren? Es ist so wundershön; halte meine Hand. Sie haben uns gesagt nie direkt hinein zu schauen. Bevor und danach. Können wir ohne es existieren? Kann es ohne uns existieren? Sie haben uns gesagt nie direkt hinein zu schauen; es ist wundershön. Es kann nicht sein. Es wird immer so bleiben. Es ist wundershön. Sie haben uns gesagt nie direkt hinein zu schauen. Es ist wundershön. Es wechselt nie seine Farbe, nie seine Gestalt. In English: It never changes its color; it never changes its shape. Can I hold your hand? They have told us never to look directly into it. We must take them all; can we exist without it? It's so wonderful; hold my hand. They have told us never to look directly into it. Before and after. Can we exist without it? Can it exist without us? They have told us never to look directly into it; it is wonderful. It cannot be. It will always remain so. It is wonderful. They have told us never to look directly into it. It is wonderful. It never changes its color, nor its shape. Why German, you may ask? Because The Network's "back-story" claims they hail from Germany. Simple as that.

I remember him saying his mom was born in Oklahoma... And someone else said he was part Irish? Idk to make this more simple, what are billie's nationalities? I don't remember where it comes from, but there's this quotation from Billie Joe: "I'm the ultimate mutt of the melting pot. My father was half-Italian, half-English. My mother is Scottish, Dutch and Irish, and her side goes back to Cherokee Indians. I have a Mormon aunt." Hope that helps Paris 1998 Awww I love the "Merci!"

Cause now you're bleeding me' I think it's just the way that The Rev sings it, like "bleedin'" rather than 'bleeded'

pasalaska Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I've never once heard "bleedin" in the song, no matter how slurred his singing was That's probably because you've got a funny accent and aren't used to normal pronunciation of things.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I've always heard bleedin. Though it sounds like bleeden.
Hermione Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Sounds like bleedin' to me. "Dew you get the feelin' that you've been bleedin' ". That's just how the Rev sings it being the cool 60s cat that he is, so I can see how it could sound like bleeded.
Jaymee!! Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 That's probably because you've got a funny accent and aren't used to normal pronunciation of things. Ah, I thought you were talking about feelin' sounding like bleedin'. What I meant was, I've always heard feelin' and not bleedin'...and I've always heard bleedin' when he said bleedin' For some reason I can understand every FBHT song, yet only half of what Billie normally sings in GD songs...given the state that he was in when he recorded the album...I'd say that's a sweet little +1 in my understanding of pronunciation.
green day is Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 http://www.bluntmag.com.au/blunt-bands-green-day.html Are there any more interview like this? I'd expect one for AI more than any other album, but have they done any other interviews where they talk about each track individually?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 http://www.bluntmag.com.au/blunt-bands-green-day.html Are there any more interview like this? I'd expect one for AI more than any other album, but have they done any other interviews where they talk about each track individually? Never mind this post. I spoilered my original reply because it turned out to be in the whole inaccurate and it's also kind of a jumbled mess. Never seen that interview before [not true]. Funny how it says that the original name for Gloria was Amélie. In another interview it was Emily. Guess it's a transcription mistake from one of those interviews. As for your question: on Youtube there's this series interview type of thing where the guys talk about each song, it's split into separate videos for each song. May be the same as the thing you posted, not sure. EDIT 3: it is. This is the first one, in the suggestions sidebar there'll be the links to the other songs. Edit: I just realized that some of that is the same as the interview you posted. I'm not sure which songs are different, but I checked the SotC one and it's the same, but the EJN one is different. Edit 2: Bhaha, the ¡Viva la Gloria! one is the same. Guess that's where Emily came from Edit 3: Never mind this. EJN is the same as well, they just falsely said it was Billie that said it. I knew that interview looked way too familiar.
