Emilie Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 On the subject, which one plays rhythm guitar and which one plays keyboards/brass? Jason White is guitar, Jason Freese is keyboard, saxophone, etc.
green day is Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Jason White is guitar, Jason Freese is keyboard, saxophone, etc. Alright, thanks.
M.G. Dixxx Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 He wants the people to enjoy the show and go crazy. And I'm totally with him on that... Yeah, when I was going to concert I've left all the gadgets and other shit in my hotel room, I wanted to enjoy every second of the concert and sing every single word with Billie without interruptions and I did and it was really Awesome As Fuck I must say ^_^
solongfromthestars Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 "You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruin" An explanation please? I'm guessing that in the context of this song, because he's mostly saying positive things about Gloria, he's saying that she's still in her "salad days", even amongst the ruins of the modern world? I don't know, that sounded really stupid
jenni Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I heard Jason White was in the video for When I Come Around. I found the person he was supposed to be, and it does look like him, but I'm not sure. Is he in it? Yes, he kisses his girlfriend on the car (at about 1:55 in the vid) And I don't see him on the BOBD video as "Jesus^of^Suburbia" said.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah, Jason White's indeed in the video, him and his girlfriend are kissing and both have black/dark hair. (I feel like I'm kind of echoing now, though ) And I see the guy and girl standing at the burning trash can in BoBD, but the guy doesn't look like either Jason...
November's Storms Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I heard Jason White was in the video for When I Come Around. I found the person he was supposed to be, and it does look like him, but I'm not sure. Is he in it? Yeah, Jason White appears from 1:50 until 2:10 He's in it. I don't remember where he is in When I Come Around, but in BoBD he's kissing his girlfriend by a trash can that may or may not have been on fire. No, he's not in BoBD. If you watch the "making of" you can see the actor and actress who play the two kissing by the barrel on fire.
green day is Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Maybe it was the JoS video, then. I know he's in one of the AI-era videos.
Laura! Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Maybe it was the JoS video, then. I know he's in one of the AI-era videos. He's in the WMUWSE video.
November's Storms Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 In all the parts where you can see the band playing. They are each standing on a raised podium, and instead of just the three of them, there is a fourth for Jason
Katarina. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 What part? You know when they're showing the band? Like showing Billie singing, or Mike playing bass/Tre playing guitar etc. there are shots where you see Jason playing guitar as well.
Hermione Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Well. first of all i dont know my minds not straight right now. And i saw on GDA on the" Did u no?" thing that Billie disliked him. And ur right. ama delete it. O.o its stupid i dont even care bout Eminem u no ,i hate raps. or this thing that i asked lol. I just wanted to share my fake friendship. But ur right. Why in this thread? Haha As far as I know Billie doesn't dislike him, I think he even mentioned him in a positive way in some interview. But oh well. Nah I was just asking why in this thread because I couldn't really find a question in your post. When Larry Livermore interviewed Billie in 2002 they talked about Eminem, and Billie said he disliked his lyrics and that he'd be concerned if his children wanted to listen to him. I'm guessing that's where the "fact" on GDA came from. But since then he's praised him in a couple of interviews and hasn't said anything else negative about him, he listed him as one of many artists he'd listened to while making American Idiot. So yeah, seems like now he's actually listened to his music and changed his mind. It was trendy to disapprove of Eminem in 2002, everyone was doing it
November's Storms Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Billie said he disliked his lyrics and that he'd be concerned if his children wanted to listen to him. Billie said this? The writer of Platypus, FOD and Ha Ha You're Dead?
Hermione Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Billie said this? The writer of Platypus, FOD and Ha Ha You're Dead? I think it's the homophobic and sexist nature of some of his lyrics he had a problem with. Hang on a minute I'll find the article. Edit: Here's the Eminem bit: What about Eminem? I don’t like his lyrics. But you’ve got all these intellectuals, or at least quasi-intellectuals, going, “Yeah, but he’s an artist. We don’t have the right to question his art…” I think that’s bullshit. If the guy is going to stand up and sing these songs that are basically about killing gays and killing women, he’s got to answer to the consequences. Yeah, he does have the freedom to say whatever he wants, but people also have the freedom to have an opinion about him. But like some artists… Well, I was watching, for example, Melissa Etheridge on TV, and when she was asked about Eminem, she was like, oh, he’s an artist… But I think people are just saying that because they’re afraid to show their true opinion. Saying that Eminem has artistic freedom is not an answer to the question. “What do you think of Eminem?” “He’s got artistic freedom.” Well, yeah, doesn’t everybody have artistic freedom? But that’s not what the question was. Well, you’re an artist… People don’t hesitate to criticize you… Yeah. They don’t. But with Eminem, I think the things that he says are bullshit. Maybe he says that they’re a joke… But jokes are supposed to be funny… Actually, some of them are very funny, provided you abandon any kind of moral sense. Sort of like what Nietzsche said: “A joke is an epitaph on the death of feeling.” Yeah, and like people listening to Skrewdriver because, “The music sounds good, man.” What would you say if, when they’re older, your own kids started listening to something like Eminem? I’d talk to them about it. As much as I could. They have minds of their own, and maybe I can’t tell them what to buy or listen to, but it would raise issues. I don’t think I would give them the money to buy something like that. But if they got jobs and earned their own money and went out and bought those kind of records… What can you do? There’s “parental guidance,” but it only goes so far. You can try and educate them, show the history and meaning of what this guy is talking about… I don’t like Eminem. Yeah, I’m 30 years old and I can distinguish between what is real and what isn’t, but an 11 year old can’t always do that. Joke or not, part of what Eminem is saying is that this kind of behavior is ok, that you’re a man and it’s part of your rite of passage or something, and that’s bullshit… Some people say that the real danger is not that people take Eminem’s lyrics literally, but that it desensitizes them, by making horrible things into a joke, until they just don’t seem as serious or as horrible anymore… And that that’s why kids often seem so ready to pull a trigger or to smash somebody’s head in, because it’s like a cartoon to them instead of a real thing… And it’s such fake rebellion. It’s testosterone-driven. It’s got nothing to do with using your fucking brain, which is what rebellion is about to begin with. One thing I’ve thought about both metal and rap is that they’re both pseudo-rebellions in another way: they both operate pretty much according to the same values they’re supposedly rebelling against. They’re about acquiring lots of money and lots of power and being able to dominate women, which is essentially already mainstream culture. They’re just doing it on a somewhat cruder, more basic level. Anyway, you say you’re not a big fan of Eminem; what about other rap music? It’s one of the most popular kinds of music happening these days… To tell you the truth, I don’t really buy rap music. The way that it sounds, it just doesn’t appeal to me. I’m sure some rap artists are saying great things, but I’ve just never been into that sound. I like guitars. I like bands. And I like rock and roll. I don’t want to come across like a purist. I respect rap music and hip hop, but it’s not something that really appeals to me. Back when Tre was in the Lookouts, he used to listen to NWA a lot. In fact we all did, and it got to where the three of us could pretty much recite all the lyrics, which is often how we’d entertain ourselves on the way to gigs. Some of those lyrics are pretty terrible too, I mean, what they’re talking about, and yet somehow they seemed funny. I’m wondering if it’s just me getting old that makes me find Eminem not as funny… I think the difference is that NWA came from somewhere. It was part of real life, it was Compton… And they were brutally honest… The whole interview is really great, I recommend it: http://larrylivermore.com/?p=232 http://larrylivermore.com/?p=295 http://larrylivermore.com/?p=297

Metanoia Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Mike wrote Ha Ha You're Dead. Not Billie. Billie just sang it. Was just about to post that.
radiofriendlyunitshifter Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Is there any place where you could get a flower t-shirt like the one on the cover of Kerplunk?

XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Is there any place where you could get a flower t-shirt like the one on the cover of Kerplunk? like this? - http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=kerplunk+shirt&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 You could probably make one like that yourself in a copyshop or something.
Hermione Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Is this Billie Joe quote real? And if so, where's it from? [On sexual preference] I really don’t think you have to tell anybody about that. It’s only sexuality, it doesn’t have a lot to do with you as a person. I’ve never had to tell my mother about what I am. She’s seen me kiss other guys and I’m married so I don’t know what I would classify myself as…human? I guarantee everybody fantasizes about the same sex. It’s only human. I've seen this quote on it's own loads of times but never the interview it came from, hmm.
