November's Storms Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 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 can HIGHLY recommend Nobody Likes You
E!!i Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 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 love Nobody likes you but I don't know how the other book is I think the "she's holding on my heart like a handgrenade" part. I'm sure i've read that part too somewhere. 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. ah ok thx I mixed up the names
Zalex Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Why the specific date? Lol. nobody on this board understands sarcasm, do they?
LetItBeHappy Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Lol. nobody on this board understands sarcasm, do they? internet NEEDS a sarcasm key.
Katarina. Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I can HIGHLY recommend Nobody Likes You Haha. That's all I needed to know. Thanks
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 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. http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4369/29523033.jpg http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/7979/30304914.jpg 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. Ah, cool, thanks a lot for posting that! I saw the dude's name on the back of the CD case, but I didn't know what exactly he designed. About the heart grenade logo... I'd heard that it was actually a logo from a skateboard company, and the designer/the band liked it so much they bought it. Think I read that on GDC... but I really don't know how reliable that was and what the specifics were. But I suppose the book is right. Although there are also mistakes made in Green Day biographies.
Katarina. Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 But I suppose the book is right. Although there are also mistakes made in Green Day biographies. Like who gave Billie his guitar "Blue"..

Although there are also mistakes made in Green Day biographies. a skate company have a logo that's very similar, but's not the same... I have the photo lying around somewhere xD I always thought it was just a methaphore of how love can be as dangerous as a weapon, specially in the case of someone as confused as Jesus of suburbia
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Like who gave Billie his guitar "Blue".. Yeah, together with what was his first guitar and who gave that one to him a skate company have a logo that's very similar, but's not the same... I have the photo lying around somewhere xD I always thought it was just a methaphore of how love can be as dangerous as a weapon, specially in the case of someone as confused as Jesus of suburbia Ahh, I see. Then there was a core of truth (that a phrase in English?) in it
BringMoreKnives Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 In 2000 Light Years Away, Billie says: "She holds my malakite so tight" ....What the hell is a "malakite"?
Velocity Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 In 2000 Light Years Away, Billie says: "She holds my malakite so tight" ....What the hell is a "malakite"? That's a misspelling of malachite, a green stone. In the song it's supposed to mean his green eyes. how do you know that? She was being sarcastic when she asked the question, so i decided to give her a sarcastic answer.
mallorymaloney Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Ah, cool, thanks a lot for posting that! I saw the dude's name on the back of the CD case, but I didn't know what exactly he designed. No problem at all, I've actually been dying to share the info for months but wasn't sure how to go about it! About the heart grenade logo... I'd heard that it was actually a logo from a skateboard company, and the designer/the band liked it so much they bought it. Think I read that on GDC... but I really don't know how reliable that was and what the specifics were. But I suppose the book is right. Although there are also mistakes made in Green Day biographies. The same book I posted photos of earlier has a bit about that, as well! Check it:
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 ^ Ah, cool! Thanks I really need to get myself a Green Day biography book... books.
LetItBeHappy Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 me wants nobody likes you.. i think I'll ask how to order in the records' store tomorrow, and then I'll tell my mom to get it for my birthday :B
Hermione Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 That's a misspelling of malachite, a green stone. In the song it's supposed to mean his green eyes. Is that right that green eyes thing? There's been threads discussing what he means with the malachite reference before on here where everyone's come to that conclusion but I'm not sure why, it seems to me like there's lots of possibilties of what he could mean. Haha! I like the 2nd urban dictionary interpretation http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Malachite

Tripe Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Mallory - thanks for the scans about the AI art! Very interesting to see how all that came about. I agree that "malakite/malachite" may or may not mean his green eyes. I think that reference is one we just will never know for sure what he was referring to unless someone asks and he is willing to tell. LOL about the urban dictionary...

I like the 2nd urban dictionary interpretation http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Malachite yep that's a better explanation :eyebrow: I agree that "malakite/malachite" may or may not mean his green eyes. I think that reference is one we just will never know for sure what he was referring to unless someone asks and he is willing to tell. LOL about the urban dictionary... maybe he means it ambiguous
