Hermione Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 No that is the official video that you posted. I think shes thinking of the video from 1994-06-06 Astoria II, London, England Ahh yeah, I was just curious to see the one she mentioned. Looks like this is it, thanks for finding it! Great video
Harriet Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 does the Green Day members (Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tre Cool) have their own facebook page? No. Tre has a Facebook. He said in an interview in a drum magazine that it's his official one. He's got pictures of all his drums on there too. Haven't seen him actually use it in about a year though. http://www.facebook.com/trecoolsdrums

So he basically doesn't have one any more.

deadair Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 So, I heard "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" was written about a girlfriend of Billie's who was moving to Ecuador. Now, I know the song dates back to the Insomniac sessions (B-side of Brain Stew/Jaded single) but even he would have still been with Adrienne. Does that mean he was cheating on Adrienne around the time he wrote the song? and BTW, does anybody know what the song "Haushinka" is about? Is it about an actual girl?

I don't know the exact details, someone else might be able to give you a more detailed response but, Billie wrote Good Riddance before 1994, before he met Adrienne. I think that the girl he wrote it about was his last girlfriend before Adrienne. And Haushinka is about a japanese girl he met at a gig, I don't know too many details but yeah she was a real girl, with a peculiar name!

Good Riddance was written around Dookie time, I believe, I guess it was demoed for Insomniac. But I think he wrote it when he was writing for Dookie, so, before Adrienne. And Haushinka was about a girl, but it was written for Kerplunk. They just didn't use it at the time.
green day is Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 He wrote in in the Kerplunk! era. The girl is also the subject of Sassafras Roots, She (it was written after she showed him a poem with a similar title), and one more that I can't quite remember at the moment.
bastard_0f1969 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Hi i just had this question,,, So what's the whole story about Green Day releasing Dookie when Nirvana was out. I know, but i dont seem to get it. Was it a bad or a good thing for Green Day and all the other bands at that time? Can someone explain it clearly for me? SorryOhh and i also got this one.... Ive read that Billie's first son was named after Joey Ramone from The Ramones.. is this true?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 . The girl is also the subject of Sassafras Roots, She (it was written after she showed him a poem with a similar title), and one more that I can't quite remember at the moment. Where are you getting that from? I've heard about the She thing before, but also that that wasn't sure at all that was true. Sassafras Roots about the same girl (or about any specific girl really), I've never heard of.

I've heard about the She thing before, but also that that wasn't sure at all that was true. Sassafras Roots about the same girl (or about any specific girl really), I've never heard of. Billie Joe said it in the interview on Larry Livermore's page EDIT: nevermind, i don't think thats the right interview, but i'm pretty sure somebody quoted it somewhere in this thread.
sharkey Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Billie has a crawling tiger tattoo on his left upper arm. And on his right upper arm he has the pink bunny tattoo, which is the new one. no this was on his inner uper left arm. i know about the bunny and the tiger. http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/01/10/theater/IDIOT-9.html iv never noticed that before. and iv been a pretty obsessive fan for years. maybe i just missed it. but i was looking back at AI live pictures and couldnt find it.

Where are you getting that from? I've heard about the She thing before, but also that that wasn't sure at all that was true. Sassafras Roots about the same girl (or about any specific girl really), I've never heard of. He wrote She when he was writing for Dookie in 1993, when he lived in that basement featured in the Longview video. The girl lived upstairs and they were together for about a year. And yeah Sassafras Roots and Chump are also about her. Here's an interview extract that explains it: VH1: How much of Dookie is a love letter to your wife Adrienne? Billie Joe: There really weren't any songs about her at that time. A lot of the songs are about this girl from San Diego, who went to Cal Berkeley. Adrienne and I weren't going out at the time. We lost contact with each other for about a year. She got engaged to a guy in Minneapolis. Then I got involved with this other girl. I lived in the basement in Berkeley with all these guys from the East Bay and she lived upstairs in the apartment. We ended up having this year-long relationship. The song "She" was about her. VH1: How did you come to write it? Billie Joe: She gave me this poem about this empowering woman, which I think is called "She." I wrote the song as an answer back to her. My now ex-girlfriend is also on the songs "Sassafras Roots" and "Chump." VH1: So how did you and Adrienne get back together? Billie Joe: My ex-girlfriend was moving to Ecuador to live there for the spring semester. At that point we were going to go on our tour and just keep going. So we had a hasty breakup. I never really talked to her ever again. VH1: So what's it like now for Adrienne to be married to you and your biggest record is filled with songs about another woman? Billie Joe: I know she likes that song! I've been married for almost eight years, so Adrienne and I are comfortable enough that I've had a past. She's got a past, too. She was engaged, had boyfriends, had flings, and I'm comfortable with that, otherwise I wouldn't be married to her. Adrienne is the only woman I'll ever love.

That's funny, I recognize some a lot of parts from that interview (and like not just the information, but I recognize the literal lines), but some of it, including the thing with that girl, I don't remember at all.
jake smith Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 What does Billie sing at the end of Hitchin' A Ride, is is just nothing or is he actually saying somthing
EvanAsFuck Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 What does Billie sing at the end of Hitchin' A Ride, is is just nothing or is he actually saying somthing No ones really sure but GD Rock Band says something like "Say birthday boys hey", which actually sounds right... Not sure though?
green day is Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Billie has admitted that it is incandescent mumbling.
Hermione Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Billie has admitted that it is incandescent mumbling. Wasn't that Reject? At the 2005 Times Talk interview during the audience Q&A someone asked what he says at the end of Reject and he said it was nothing/mumbling. Has he been asked about Hitchin A Ride too or was it that?

Has he been asked about Hitchin A Ride too or was it that? I just read it from someone on the forum. Maybe they got songs mixed up, I don't know. I'm pretty sure the end of Hitchin' a Ride is mumbling as well, though. This reminds me of Basket Case's second chorus. The scenario in which I read it was the thread about lyrics that are sometimes different live. Like, how he says "how now brown cow" in When I Come Around sometimes. Someone mentioned that the end of Hitchin' a Ride is different every time because it's "just mumbling" but they didn't know if it counted.
jake smith Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 there are alot of songs which he just makes up crap aren't there?

Someone mentioned that the end of Hitchin' a Ride is different every time because it's "just mumbling" but they didn't know if it counted. Yeah it certainly sounds like it could be just mumbling , just wondering if he'd actually confirmed it. But then you have Blood Sex And Booze with "I'll show you a real time" at the end, it's so close to just mumbling but it isn't. I think Hitchin A Ride could be either way but I do like the Rockband lyric
farley drexel hatcher Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 When Pinhead Gunpowder came out with their 2008 EP, I heard that during the AI period, Aaron and Billie had fallen out. Apparently due to Aaron not liking the fact the band had gotten so big with AI, and that it took them a while to patch things up. I doubt this is true but does anyone know where the rumour might have started?

At the 2005 Times Talk interview during the audience Q&A someone asked what he says at the end of Reject and he said it was nothing/mumbling. Has he been asked about Hitchin A Ride too or was it that? He said the end of HAR was just rubbish in the Idiot Club Q&A.
green day is Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 What is at the beginning of Knowledge? I know it doesn't say anything, backwards or forwards, but what is it? Is it speech? I think I asked this before maybe.
