Why did they name the album Nimrod?

I know the reasons behind every other album name but even for GD Nimrod seems a bit random

I think I read on GreenDay.net that Nimrod is someone in the bible that fools God. Billie said, "It fits. We're very moronic." :lol:

why have they not taken the lcd backdrop with them to south america?

is a lot of equipment and the distances traveled are great for short time

and locations of the show are not as luxurious like in northern hemisphere

is what I think :D

Pretty much. And c'mon; it's Liam Gallagher. :rolleyes: That guy's just an ass when it comes to a lot of things.

He was probably just pissed because a song he didn't write got attention. :lol:

Bab's Uvula Who is an anagram of "who luvs u baba", which is something from a Saturday Night Live sketch.

I have no idea what it's got to do with the song, though :lol:

Oh yeah! That's what I thought. I remember asking my mom if she knew what "Who luvs you baba" was from, and she thought it was hilarious that Green Day used it. xD Thanks for reminding me. :D

Hey, are there any videos of this sketch?

They've talked about it in a few interviews, apparently it was Mike who thought of naming it that. There was a character in the Bible called Nimrod who was a "great hunter". In an old Bugs Bunny cartoon, Bugs made fun of the hunter Elmur Fudd by calling him a "Nimrod" sarcastically, really meaning he was a rubbish hunter. Since that cartoon the word Nimrod has taken on a second meaning - it means dork, loser, etc. That's the meaning Green Day were going for when they named the album:

Interviewer: I checked the name Nimrod... Strange choice for an album title.

Billie Joe: Yeah, I know. It's some guy from the old testament. For some strange reason it turned into a curse; it's another name for dork.

Dookie isn't hard to find at all. At least on ebay. I see Kerplunk around there a lot, too. And Insomniac. If you're lucky, you can find them for really cheap as well.

What model/brand is Billie's acoustic guitar he's been using in this tour? (the beautiful, black one)

Where did this come from:

" they have bad taste. I am not a good looking guy"?

I think they're gibsons.

They're his signature guitars

The acustic, too? And on this topic, are all the electric guitars that he's using now on tour (besides Blue, of course) his signature Les Paul Jr. or are they a mix? I always get confused about Billie's guitars. :lol:

. I'm watching some footage of green day some time in insomniac, and Billie Joe has the blonde cut... with a twist. He's got these two tendrils of hair that he's let grow for some reason, and he looks like a total retard.

I just needed to share this. omg

Insomniac? I know he had two random dreadlocks around early Dookie or something around that time, but he had them during Insomniac as well? Lol, I should pay more attention. Or I'm confusing everything. And I agree it looks really kinda weird. :lol:

lol@this entire community not measuring time in years, but in Green Day albums.

Oh no I meant it as in that my memory was wrong, not that that video wasn't from Insomniac. :)

yeah the acoustic. You can see his signature next to where it says Gibson If you zoom into a pic. And he plays mix. He uses a telecaster sometimes too.

So this is what happened to me a few days ago...

I was doing a few art commissions on LiveStream for some friends, then suddenly in comes a user named 'some guy'... Then in the chat it stated 'some guy changed their nickname to Billie Joe A'...

Of course this made me LOL... He then asked how I was doing, to which I replied that I was doing fine... He said he liked my art, I then proceeded to tell him 'You do know I draw pronz of you right?' (Yes, I'm a Green Day slash fan)... He LOLed and said that I should draw more art of Him and my OC... I LOLed even more... He then left shortly after that...

So this is my question...

Have you ever encountered a user claiming to be Billie Joe before? How did the conversation go?
