greendaytone Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Ask him when he started writing, did he write for anyone before the Lookout zine? Also, if has any plans after the compilation album and Spy Rock Memories being made into a book? Larry's already confirmed that Spy Rock Memories is being published as a book, with a spring release on the cards at the moment. Will note the other questions
WorryRock02 Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 my queston: what do you had think the first time you saw green day playing?
November's Storms Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 my queston: what do you had think the first time you saw green day playing? Thats already been answered by him. He likened it to seeing The Beatles play Shea Stadium. But who am I to say, I'm not doing the interview!
greendaytone Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 When is this happening, btw? Planning to meet up with Larry a couple of times over the next week (first one tomorrow), so we may well do the interview in 2 parts
November's Storms Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Planning to meet up with Larry a couple of times over the next week (first one tomorrow), so we may well do the interview in 2 parts Are you meeting up purely to interview him or is this a personal/social meet up too?
greendaytone Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Are you meeting up purely to interview him or is this a personal/social meet up too? Both, the interview will probably come after Larry's told me all about how his beloved Fulham got their result at Chelsea yesterday!
November's Storms Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Both, the interview will probably come after Larry's told me all about how his beloved Fulham got their result at Chelsea yesterday! Awesome! If you guys don't beat Wolves...well I can sense the gloating already
greendaytone Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Awesome! If you guys don't beat Wolves...well I can sense the gloating already The whole thing could be off if that happens!
Heather. Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I have a question for Larry! In that Middle Years documentary about Green Day he mentions that he thinks Nimrod is the album he hasn't given enough of a chance to. He also shares an anecdote about being in a pub and feeling blue and hearing Good Riddance on the radio for the first time. He said he had never heard it before and didn't even know it was Green Day. I want to know if he had not listened to the whole Nimrod album when it came out, then? (Nimrod had already been out for two months before Good Riddance was released as a single... unless I'm getting my dates mixed up, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been played on the radio until well after the album's release). And since then, has he given Nimrod more of a chance? I know there are many of us here who absolutely adore that record, myself included!

Will bring it up for sure. Thanks again to everyone for the questions, still time to get some more in...
November's Storms Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 A bit of a discussion about the albums after Lookout might be nice alright (if the poor man is not completely sick of talking about Green Day at this point). I remember him saying he didn't like Dookie but enjoyed American Idiot. Also, if he has any plans to tour Europe (and hopefully Ireland)
Heather. Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 For reference about the Good Riddance thing, I'm talking about 44:20 on this. At another point he mentions that although he hasn't given Nimrod as much attention, many of his friends 'swear by it.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaICuNeMVxk
Bastard of 1967 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Last ?, I promise: When are The Potatomen going to headline SXSW in Austin?
greendaytone Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Just to update you all, i spent a few hours with Larry this afternoon. Got about 3 hours of good stuff recorded. And barely half way through all the questions i had with me! We're hoping to meet up again in the next few days to do the rest. I'll have a bit of editing to do as i'm planning to post it in parts (maybe as many as Spy Rock Memories!). Hopefully i can get the first one up in the next few days. Thanks again for all your input guys, it made my job a lot easier and also some great questions i wouldn't have thought to ask. Keep 'em coming!
Heather. Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 That's amazing!! Was this audio or video recorded?
greendaytone Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 That's amazing!! Was this audio or video recorded? Audio... video would merely serve to distract from the content, since we're both so incredibly good looking.
Larry Livermore Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I remember him saying he didn't like Dookie but enjoyed American Idiot. This is not correct. I think Dookie is one of their best albums (right up there with 39/Smooth and Kerplunk), but I think American Idiot is even better (i.e., their best). Awesome! If you guys don't beat Wolves...well I can sense the gloating already I did congratulate Tony on Arsenal having somehow managed to struggle to a draw against the mighty 10 men of Wolves, and suggested that if only Wolves would have agreed to play with 9 men instead, his team might have done better. Both, the interview will probably come after Larry's told me all about how his beloved Fulham got their result at Chelsea yesterday! Who's to say that our 1-1 against Chelsea was any more remarkable than Arsenal's 1-1 against Wolves? I mean, just because we were playing away while Arsenal was at home, because we were playing against 11 men while Arsenal only had to contend against 10, and because Chelsea are about 15 places above Wolves in the table, that shouldn't make much difference, should it?

jon18 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Audio... video would merely serve to distract from the content, since we're both so incredibly good looking. Thank you Tony. Any news about the new album?
Carol Ahmed Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Wow!! That's great news, Tony!! I can't wait to hear your interview! Thank you!!

Let's talk about Football again after Arsenal's trip to Fulham next Monday Thank you Tony. Any news about the new album? I presume you mean Green Day's... I didn't dare ask!
Bastard of 1967 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Thank you Tony. Any news about the new album? I presume you mean Green Day's... I didn't dare ask! Here's one from my "why didn't I ask this one sooner?? pile" that those posts just made me think of: Were you at all surprised when Billie Joe asked you to produce the upcoming comp for Adeline? How did it feel getting back into a producer's role again? Is this something you'd consider doing again, and if so, are there any band(s) in particular you'd want to produce for? Last ?, I promise Awwww, fuck.

Larry covered most of the ground on your 2nd question (at least) in the interview, just fyi.
