I read somewhere that Billie is scared of firearms because he was robbed at gunpoint. Is this true? (And sorry if it violates the whole privacy of the guys thing. If it does you can just ignore my question.)

Yeah, there's a video where he talks about it here:

He has an interesting opinion although it's sad to hear that happened to him.

I was reading Samuel Bayer's wikipedia page, and noticed that in the list of all of the music videos he has directed their is a song called "St. Jimmy" by a band called Redial that he created a video for in 1995. I have googled this song, and couldn't find any audio clips or lyrics to it.

I guess this song doesn't have anything to do with Green Day's St. Jimmy or I would have heard about it, but it seems pretty coincidental that Samuel Bayer directed videos to both songs.

Here is the link to Samuel Bayer's wiki page... Redial's St. Jimmy is listed under the 1995 category.

Does anyone have the audio or lyrics to this song?

I'm just curious. It's wierd that there are two St. Jimmys!

I doubt that exists. If it has a video it has to be known enough to at least be on either youtube, spotify, or some lyrics site. Or be googleable. And it's not. And as anyone can edit wikipedia it's probably just either a mistake/lack of knowledge or someone trolling.

That's probably true. Seems like a really stupid thing to troll though. Oh well, I guess some people really have nothing better to do.

Thanks!

I read somewhere a quote/article of Billie Joe talking about Mike and saying something like "Everytime I looked to my right, Mike was there", does someone know what I'm talking about? I really can't remember where I read it =/

I believe it was during an American Idiot show on broadway. Maybe the last? eventually he pulled mike on stage to play with him...

I think he also said something to the effect of, "it was strange being on stage without mike"

Dunno if this question was asked before...

Does anobody know the chords of Knowledge when Billie pulled up fans on stage to play the guitar? :)

Just curious. I really want to know if I could play that, even with the few chords I know. :lol:

I have questions... What is happening with Tre and Dena? And on which channel (and in which show) did they supposed to show, but they didn't because they were too drunk? (sorry if those questions were already asked :( )

I have no idea what you mean about the TV show, but as far as i've heard Tre and Dena broke up some time last year. :)

Does anybody know what the show was when Billie Joe was talking about stuff and started telling a joke about "spots on time" ?

I like to pop in occasionally to see what's going on :)

does anyone one know the order that their first EPs came out in? i've been finding different things in different places

I think the info on Wikipedia is accurate. First the 1000 Hours EP in April 1989, then the 39/Smooth album in April 1990, then the Slappy EP in the summer of 1990. And then they quickly recorded the Sweet Children EP while they were in Minneapolis in the summer of 1990 and released it on a local record label there.

Yeah exactly, Billie did tweet that in response (but then hastily deleted it :D). Must've either realized it was bit too mean to say that or realized it probably wasn't true.

How do you know Bille tweeted and then deleted it. His tweets come to my phone but I never saw it.

Someone did a screenshot of it and posted it on here as soon as he tweeted it. I've never had his tweets sent to my phone but I remember a lot of people on here having problems with them sometimes not being sent to their phones in the past, so it could be that it just didn't happen to send you that one.
