Thanks! :) I did manage to find the full quote but wasn't sure whether it was actually real or not. It was just a simple but interesting way of describing that feeling.

If anyone else is interested here's the full quote

but when it's time for who is?

Adrienne, the American Idiot musical program says he wrote it for her when he was 19 or something

ok thanks ...but at this moment i'm a bit confused.. :S

This is right. They met 1990 and had an on/off long distance relationship but then that fizzled out and they both started seeing other people. Then in 1994 they decided to get together so Adie moved to California to give the relationship a go and they ended up getting married soon after.

About being whiny, I'd be surprised if he said that quote now but when he was younger he was whinier :lol: (like most people are). Plenty of equally whiny things said by him in old interviews.

It doesn't have to be her name. The person the song was inspired by was called Amanda but as far as the story of the album goes it's still a character called Whatsername. Just like how the Jesus Of Suburbia/St Jimmy character and the songs they're in were inspired by someone called Billie Joe :D. They're still Whatsername and JOS even if we know people called Amanda and Billie (and probably other people too) inspired them.

well and here we fall in the mistake that the girl in JOS is Whatsername(Amanda) cause in the thread of opera she appears before...when Jimmy 'Leave home'

well burt the interview in the book what is dated?

Thanks for posting about this, but it doesn't belong in the Question And Answer Thread. This is news so it should be in the Random News thread not here.

I see you have posted it in the Random News thread now so that's great :), that's where you should always post things like this.

Officially, the flag is only flown upside down when whoever is flying it (a boat, a camp, whatever) is in distress. Otherwise it's either a sign of disrespect, especially if it's flown upside-down below another flag or a political statement, that statement being either fuck the US, or saying that the US is in "distress". I'm not sure exactly what's meant by Billie's shirt, since he says he's not an Anarchist and he's very much not a hippy. It'd help if I knew when the picture was taken.

The shirt he's wearing is an old Adeline model, if I'm not mistaken.

Indeed it's an old Adeline Street design.

They've played with the American flag before - there's photos of them spray-painting 'Idiot' over the flag that were done for a magazine (I'm thinking Q in 2005). It's to go with the whole American Idiot thing, saying the flag doesn't represent them if it's a symbol of all the things they're protesting against in the album; the disenfranchised feeling.

Gosh, that's all great! :woot:

Sticking to the questions and answers now (I thought I was in the Random News thread when I saw all that :P), I found this on Youtube the other day:

[media=]

It doesn't look very much like the Network to me, but we only have a few songs of them, so you can't really tell. I asked the uploader of the video where was it from and he/she said "it was from a radio show with John Roecker". Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks for the info, but this should be posted in Random News. I'll go ahead and repost this there and anyone who wants to talk about it should talk about it there.

Edit: There's now a thread for the Telehit interview so all discussion of it should go here :)

This thread is only for asking questions about Green Day everyone, please don't post news in here.

Sounds too much like industrial to be The Network.

The Network were weird and electronic, but they were never did the "random sounds" thing that this has going.

Yeah, I remember hearing that on one of those John Roecker radio shows :lol: There's a thread somewhere on GDC with more about this, maybe I can find it.

But yes, this is a Network song or demo according to John. Well, not really a song, I think at the time some of us thought it could've been made for background music on the Disease is Punishment DVD.

Yeah he used to do regular radio shows a couple of years ago and he built it up for weeks, "I've got an unreleased Network song!". Then when he finally played it and it was just that it was quite disappointing :P. I agree it sounds like background music for the DVD, there's similar music on there. But he didn't give us any more info about it other than saying it was a Network song so there's no way of knowing exactly what it is.

I found the thread and was surprised we posted about this two years ago! John kept saying "I've got unreleased Network songs/Green Day songs/news about HLAHG!" Now look what we got in the end.. :lol:

Those shows were fun though, especially when more GDCers were active in the thread for it.

I agree, especially when GDCers phoned in :lol:. Shame he stopped doing it.
