I just read something about Billie doing a Brazilian press conference... is there a link to that? I (unsurprisingly) haven't heard about that, and I'd like to see it. And have there been other interviews and such? Because I've already come across a phone interview with Mike and a Venezuelan press conference video by accident, but I probably missed a gazillion other things. :pinch::blush:

The only Brazilian press conference that I know of is this one... :ermm:

Mike did an interview here: http://www.estadao.com.br/estadaodehoje/20101009/not_imp622613,0.php but you'll have to translate it because it's all in foreign. Quite good though.

^ I've never even heard about that... then again, I wasn't around during American Idiot, so there are more things I haven't heard about, haha.

Ahhh thanks :) I hadn't seen either of those. I have this talent for missing the threads with interviews (it's why I can never find anything back, I do see all the shit threads, but whatever I'm looking for just doesn't appear, haha)

Not sure if this has been answered or not if there is an answer at all... it's just something I've wanted to know :)

I've heard a load of times in interviews around the American Idiot era, that after it was announced Green Day were doing a punk-rock opera Billie went on a Green Day forum/chat thing and was able to see what people thought. He said something like some people were really into it, and some said they were crazy.

Can't quite remember if he said he posted anything, though.

Just wondering if this forum/chat site was GDC, or something GDA related? Would be cool if it was :)

From what I've heard I think it was on greenday.com? He mentioned taking down the messageboard in a few interviews so it would have to be an official site. I would really not like being on the same forum as Billie, I'd be terrified :lol:

Posted

Ah I can't remember hearing that he took it down :) Must be the offical site then thanks! It was just one of those things that I've always wondered... :thumbsup:

I'd love it :) Well, I'd love it if I got an actual reply, so I could talk and see what he was really like... but I don't think that would happen because about a zillion other people would want to do the same and I wouldn't get a word in! :pinch: Haha, in perfect world...

Your welcome :)

I'd be too scared, imagine if you got a notification "Billie Joe replied to your post", I'd be freaking out before I even read it thinking I said something crap and he was giving out to me :lol: It'd stress me out too much, I'm weird like that!

Posted

^ Yeah, it would definitely be cool.

I wonder if he can type with 10 fingers, or type fast at all. Just wondering, not hinting at the "Billie Joe can't do technology"-thing (which by the way I think is greatly exaggerated.)

I'd be too scared, imagine if you got a notification "Billie Joe replied to your post", I'd be freaking out before I even read it thinking I said something crap and he was giving out to me :lol: It'd stress me out too much, I'm weird like that!

Lol I'd be totally the same. And completely paranoid and rereading every post I'd make that there cannot possibly be a different or negative or bitchy meaning to it and I'd probably edit things all around :lol:

And then every time I'd get a notification or there would be a new post to a thread I also posted in I'd be all "IS IT BILLIE JOE?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!!! *tenses up* oh wait it isn't *calms down*" :lol: '

like, if it was only a one time thing, haha.

Okay I feel really stupid for asking this question because Minority is one of my all time favourite songs, but there's still a line that I don't quite understand.

"One light, one mind flashing in the dark"

What's the meaning of that sentence? :/

Posted

thanks and wow sounds like you have a lot of talant with making clothes and such. :happy:

I've been known to alter some clothing here and there since that project, but before that I had no idea what the hell I was doing (I still don't!) :lol: I just pretty much made it up as I went using a few different techniques that i found on various websites. Like I said it wasn't painfully difficult, just required some time and patience. Good luck with your costume :)

I'm not 100% sure but I think it means one person being different and being a new light compared to everyone else being boring and dull.

He talked about it on Times Talks but he didn't say what site he went to.

My guess is that at least 98% of the active members on here have seen Bullet in a Bible.

Hey Is there anyway to contact greenday other tgen fb?

Hey Is there anyway to contact greenday other tgen fb?

Fb, as in Facebook, right? Green Day doesn't have facebook. None of the members have.

Idk how you can contact them, the best way is probably still by going to one of their shows and trying to get pulled on stage :lol:

Posted

Well the thing is I live in Canada in b.c. And tgey nvr come here so I'm trying to chalenge them!

Posted

Hey Is there anyway to contact greenday other tgen fb?

Oh god FB :lol: Green Day have an official facebook that the band aren't even aware of. They don't use social networking (except twitter) so there isn't much point expecting a reply on any of their profiles (including twitter). I'm sure there's a fan mail address but I don't think they send responses.

So my pessimistic answer is no, not really. :lol:

Didn't they do two tours in Canada over the past 1 1/2 years?

Posted

Thnks......

Not to B.C.! That's were I live and theve nvr Bern there since I could talk

Because you're not typing properly, you've clearly not read the forum rules which, as far as I remember, you are directed to upon joining, and are generally being an idiot. I suggest going here and reading some of the threads at the top of the page to help understand the forum.

just hang around and get used to the forum first, before you start making your own topics.
