Green Day Question and Answer Thread

Anyway, back to the Q&A thread:

On listening to Insomniac a lot recently, I actually think that I prefer it to Dookie. How come it didn’t get as good a reception?

I think that it's just that Dookie is less poppier, and many of the people who bought it didn't normally listen to punk (and Insomniac has a punkier sound).

does anyone know where Billie said his famous quote "School is practice for the future, practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?" ?

As far as I know it was actually Mike who said that, Tre quoted it in a drum magazine as being one of his favourite Mike quotes. I don't remember off the top of my head which magazine it was but I guess I could probably find it if anyone wants a source.

I’ll stop now, seeing as nobody gets it...

I realise all of this and yeah, the ‘ :P ‘ was meant to signify that I was sarcastically mocking the media and the crazy assumptions they’ve made and am not in fact a complete moron.

Although it was funny imagining how wound up Jimmy was getting...

Haha too bad I wasn't getting wound up. Just making sure everyone knows whats fact and whats not.

it 'is no off off topic is a question about a likely billie's signs!!! :happy: In italy it refers to a girls part ...that part..i was thinking after this knowledge about shocker hand that he peraph know it..i think they have culture world wide for sex..so it is double meaning :woot: !!

In the book : "Signing Exact English" 1980 edition the heart shape thing means the same that it does in Italy.

oh.. this is interesting...

according to an article, the Pitchfork hand gesture once used by the Arizona State University was mistaken for the "shocker" hand gesture and was used by President George W. Bush. I personally think I would refrain from using either gesture... as neither of them is exact English Sign Language. After closer examination of Billie Joe's hand signal I must say that the Pitchfork is the actual hand signal he is using.

hm...but Billie's slightly dirty look that he also has something to hide made me think that it's referred to the shocker and they just did it this way that people think it's their sign and maybe that it looks more harmless...

but yeah seems like he used the Pitchfork (but maybe he actually knew that people would mistake it as the shocker :ninja: )

Yeah I was surprised when I read it because I was sure Billie had said it too! I guess maybe he was just repeating it from Mike or something?

i don't know...but i've also heard that Tre once said a similar quote (or maybe it was just in that interview where he said that it's his fave Mike quote xD), so maybe the guys all said it then? :lol: i just love how it's one of the most famous Green Day quotes and no one really knows when it was said and who even said it first :lol:

I have no questions to ask at the moment, but this thread is so interesting to read through ! It can be said as the Treasure of Green Day knowledge ! Haha :D

Whenever I see you post, for a split second I was always think your ava is you. And then I remember "nope, that's Billie Joe"... :P

I don't know, they seem to be working on something about FBHT too so maybe FBHT releases it instead of Green Day. And I actually see that more plausible. Anyway it's really fun to imagine Mike, Billie and Tré sitting together in a couch and talking about sex and all haha I'd pay to see that!

They are working also on it? Do they sleep sometimes??It's incredible!!!Gorgeous :woot:

What evidence do you have that suggests they are working on Foxboro Hot Tubs album?

On the making of 21 Guns video, when Billie says: "Something blew up in my mouth, and it wasn't the room..." and Tré looks at him and says: "I'm sorry Billie" ...What did Billie suppose to mean? 'cause I honestly don't understand it :lol:

I think they're pretending (I guess) that Billie gave Tre oral.

Pretending..i don't know if it is right word :cool: !!!!(these are the things that make me think that it can be some odd in HLHG..alltought it is after it makes me think they have unusually ways..) :confused:

There are references in the studio updates. And there isn’t a recording of it’s fuck time. And Green Day are awesome, and a FBHT album would be awesome, so it seems plausible...

That and there’s always wishful thinking...

It does not mean a heart in exact English Sign Language. In English Sign Language, there is a different hand gesture used to represent a heart. I apologize for not explaining it well in the first place.
