Velocity Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 What color was Billie Joe's hair on October 7th, 1995? pink with green spots it looked absolutely terrible
Liam Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 He veeeeeery rarely, if ever, use his signature LP. He uses vintage Les Paul Jrs, some fenders (including a new Blue replica), a Gretsch and a hollowbody guitar which I have no idea what actually is, but it MIGHT be a weird Gibson or Gretsch. Wasn't the white one he was using to the AI tour his signature and same with the black one from this tour?
November's Storms Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 What color was Billie Joe's hair on October 7th, 1995? Why the specific date?
Eirik Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Wasn't the white one he was using to the AI tour his signature and same with the black one from this tour? Well, I can't say with certainty, but I doubt it. It's quite possible, of course, but the black one has different coloured-knobs. Of course, a very small thing, but I don't see why he would bother changing them. They could be prototypes though, that he got. But yeah, this is just guesswork.
darenmay Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 what is 'ballad of wilhelm fink', like a b-side or something? same goes for 'life during war(fare/time?)', was it just one of those audio messages/songs billie left at greenday.com?
Beathe.

I'm pretty sure the ballad of wilhelm fink is just a b-side. Life during wartime is a song by Pinhead Gunpowder.

FannyDefoe Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I'm looking for quote . tre said something about war.. or how bad it was. something in that direction and I can't find it anymore and it's not on GDA (anymore?) any ideas what he has said?
LetItBeHappy Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 you can find it in GDA, you just need to write something after the www.greendayauthority.com/ and it will redirects you to the old site anyways... (To LAUNCH.com on the US's action after the WTC bombings): "I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it's terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it's definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself."
E!!i Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Who wrote the lyrics in the American Idiot booklet? Like, who wrote them down? Same question for the 1039/SOSH and Kerplunk booklets, but I'm mostly curious for American Idiot (because it kind of looks like Billie's handwriting). It's Billie Joe's cause I saw his handwriting on the paper on which he wrote the song for the musical and it's exact the same In this post is a link that explains it. yep that was mine pink with green spots it looked absolutely terrible how do you know that?

But there's also a solo acoustic guitar version by Billie Joe. Not sure where the solo Billie version's from actually, I think it was recorded in about 2001? Anyone know where it's from?

It's why I said that it looks like it could be Billie. The handwriting in the booklet isn't a very special or standing out handwriting. It's why I asked whether it's known who wrote it, not whether it looks like it could've been Billie Joe.

I'm pretty sure it's from the audios Billie used to post on whatever website it was back around 2001. Might be wrong though. And about the AI booklet: I don't have it here right now but if I remember correctly, it looked quite different from song to song so I imagine it isnt't only Billies handwriting.

There are two Billie playing Life During Wartime acoustic things out there. One from some compilation CD, and one that's on GDA of which I don't know how it ended up on the web, probably the one you're referring too. Yes, I thought that too, but then I looked at it some more, and it looks like the same person writing in two different styles - all capital with a "fat" pen, and normal with a ballpoint or whatever. At first it looks different, but then when you compare them, it looks like it's written by the same person.
mallorymaloney Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Who wrote the lyrics in the American Idiot booklet? Like, who wrote them down? Same question for the 1039/SOSH and Kerplunk booklets, but I'm mostly curious for American Idiot (because it kind of looks like Billie's handwriting). Since they had so little money for 1039/SOSH I always just assumed Billie wrote them down because I kinda doubt other people would bother doing it. xD On the other hand there are quite a few people who were responsible for the artwork so maybe one of them did it. (Just look them up in the booklet.) About AI... good question. Haha, I'm really no help at all. Exactly the problem, it could have been a whole bunch of people Yes, I know. It's why I said that it looks like it could be Billie. The handwriting in the booklet isn't a very special or standing out handwriting. It's why I asked whether it's known who wrote it, not whether it looks like it could've been Billie Joe. I know who wrote out the lyrics for the American Idiot booklet! It was actually the same artist that created the American Idiot cover, an artist named Chris Bilheimer. Like you guys, up until very recently I believed that Billie Joe himself wrote the lyrics out, but after reading a Green Day biography called 'Green Day: Rebels With A Cause', written by a woman named Gillian G Gaar, and in that book, the explanation reads as follows. I used my digital camera instead of my scanner because, well, my scanner sucks dick. Another interesting tidbit in this book is that Billie was so moved by Bilheimer's design of the hand grasping the heart grenade that he had to go back and change the lyrics in She's A Rebel to reflect that.

You can't always make all the letters look the same, right? (and I can actually copy that handwriting )
Anja Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 it's just one handwriting. You can't always make all the letters look the same, right? Why not?

Thanks for posting Mallory! That's very interesting to know. I wonder what the original lyrics were then? Hmmm.. I have yet to buy one of those Green Day biographies.. Looks like I know what I'm asking for my 18th birthday.
Anja Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Thank you for that scan I actually have that book at home. Maybe I should start reading it

LetItBeHappy Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 ^ ^ that was interesting! Why not? i don't know... my handwriting never comes up as the same way xD like... I always make my A in a certain way, but with different sizes or angles. And if I change the pen, the letter is different, and stuff like that... in the end, one person can write in LOTS of ways xD
Katarina. Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I have this book in German, here it's called Green Day - Die Triographie (that's "The Triography") Haha, Triography. I'm planning on buying that "Nobody likes you" biography. Idk if it's 'better' than Rebels With a Cause? Is there anyone here that can recommend me either one?

I have yet to buy one of those Green Day biographies.. Looks like I know what I'm asking for my 18th birthday. I think the "she's holding on my heart like a handgrenade" part. I'm sure i've read that part too somewhere. I have this book in German, here it's called Green Day - Die Triographie (that's "The Triography") But that's a compelte different book ("GD and the new punk explosion" is what it's called in English) unless you were referring to that one.
