So... what songs does Billie Joe still play lead guitar on live? Or are there specific parts of songs? (Like he usually starts American Idiot off, but then Jason takes over?) Does he do most/all of the Dookie song leads? I have trouble getting this straight.

Doesn't he do the lead on the songs that only ever had one guitar part? Him and Jason seem to play the same parts on those songs.

Specific parts! F.e. like you said, he starts American Idiot and then Jason takes over and then at the solo Billie takes over again.

And yes he dos the leads for Dookie songs. For all the songs that were written before "the jasons" joined, he plays lead

Rumors have gone around that Green Day might re-record 1039/Smooth and Kerplunk! what does everyone think?

Proof? That would be the most amazing thing ever. The old songs sounded so great on the last tour, especially with Tre on the drums. He plays the shit out of the 1039/Smooth songs....

When you go onto the Idiot Club site, it says 'Store'. Is it a different store for just Idiot Club members or is it the same as the GD Store?

That should be the same one.

Didn't a rumour surface a while back that they were going to re-record 1039/Smoothed out slappy hours... and then somebody asked Mike in an interview and he was like "eeerr.. no"...

Then again, I could have dreamt that.

Does anyone know which radio station mentioned that the new album could be out in Spring? :)

Does anyone know what members of Green Day smoke and what age they started?

I only know Billie Joe does...

Yeah there was a rumor like that! But like Mike said, they're not really doing it.

Just realized what I wrote. I meant WHO of Green Day smokes. Only Billie, right? I have never seen Mike or Tre smoking...

I've seen some photos of Mike smoking, but I don't know if he still does.

They all smoked marijuana at some point. I haven't seen any pictures or videos of the guys with a joint (there's even a video from 1991 where Billie declines a cigarette or joint, not sure what it was), but it's hard to imagine that they haven't smoked it at least once at some point.

That's probably not what you meant though.

Lol. I like to think they still do? Some of those FBHT shows...

Dunno, Billie said that he quit drugs because of his sons (forgot when, but he said it before or around the AI era) and I'd imagine it's the same for Mike and Tre, you never know about a bit of pot sneaking in though, haha.

Yeah... I thought they quit speed. Oh well, who knows. :P

Although I do love the interview where he talks about the gravity bong.

Pretty sure they all smoke ordinary cigarettes still, dunno about Tre but Billie and Mike do.

Whereas Tre probably does the most weed XD I doubt the others are regular weed smokers these days, maybe just occasionally.

Sorry if this has already been asked.. but does anyone know where I can get a high quality audio download of the Jaded in chicago show? been looking everywhere.. can't seem to find one..

Scrap that, found one!

Yeah he declines a cigarette and says he doesn't smoke (cigarettes). So I think he didn't start smoking cigarettes until he was in his 20s although obviously he was smoking weed long before that. Maybe he cut down on the weed and took up cigarettes as a replacement.

I'd be very surprised if any of them didn't still smoke weed from time to time.

Same. I'm sure it's not a daily thing, but the way they still refer to it often and in sort-of present tense makes it pretty obvious that they still smoke weed often enough.

What video are we talking about where Billie declines a cig?

My band is doing BOBD. Everyone but me thinks the words are "but it's only me and I walk alone". I think its "but it's home to me and I walk alone". What are the real words?

The correct words are "but it's home to me and I walk alone"
