Fuzz Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Hm. I know a certain freelance journalist with two thumbs who would love to contribute to this. Yeah! I'll make sure we keep in touch once we have plans for the next one. I think with more community involvement, this could be something really incredible. The first one is really good, but the more involvement the better.
greendaytodeathandback Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This is such a cool idea!! Damn I can't wait to read it!!
BringMoreKnives Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Well this sounds like the awesomest thing ever. I can't wait to order it.
Smoothed Out Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 That's so amazing! I like Letterbomb as a title even if it is a little obvious, as for Carpet Diet I kind of agree that it doesn't really fit. Y'know gets my vote though. The artwork is amazing, but like, this is our thing - let's see something that represents the community on the front page. I agree.
Boston Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Just added a poll. We'll take your feedback into strong consideration since we can't come to a consensus ourselves, but we may or may not put the zine out with a different title depending on certain things... I'm not sounding very convincing. Just vote! And also keep in mind that "Carpet Diet" is a very forum-specific joke... we want everyone who likes Green Day to relate to our Zine.
justcause Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I think 'GDA Zine - for real!' would be a great title.
DoodleBob Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Voted for Y'know. Out of all the choices, it has the best balance of being unique, but relating to Green Day.
Katarina. Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I really like this idea! I will order the magazine for sure. Looking forward to seeing how this will turn out, I'm sure it'll be awesome! As for the title.. I don't know. Letterbomb is nice, but I don't think it's the "perfect" magazine title. I like Y'know. Just the "GDA Zine" is good too, maybe there could be a second title below that, a different one with each new issue. Something that's relevant at that time. There are so many possibilities for names, lyrics related or not. Like, maybe "The Lucky Star" or "The only way we know"..Y'know?
Kristy_TheIdiot Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Woooow! It's great!! I think that the picture is awesome and the title.. very difficult ahah So, Letterbomb is foregone.. but it's nice, in my opinion Mmh.. I think that for now it's well, in future you can also change him.. We need a great idea, it must be a special name.. special like the zine itself!
lizziebix Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Carpet Diet? What's that from? A noob thought that was the name of Carpe Diem.
Johnny. Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I like Letterbomb but it just makes sense to call it the GDA Zine. Otherwise it's unclear what it is.
captain peroxide Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'm pretty sure "The GDA Zine" part is going to be a subtitle no matter what title we pick. The point is, we can either call it just that, or "Letterbomb - The GDA Zine."
greendaytodeathandback Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Personally, I like Letterbomb or y'know. I really can't wait for this to be out!!
Johnny. Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'm pretty sure "The GDA Zine" part is going to be a subtitle no matter what title we pick. The point is, we can either call it just that, or "Letterbomb - The GDA Zine." Oh I see, hmm maybe Letterbomb would be better.
Zelda Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Best idea ever. Finally, a magazine (sort of) that pertains to my interests!
Laura2000 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Letterbomb i think is the best title; it relates to green day and also kind of suggests the content of the magazine (punky,controversial, written by the fans so probably more honest and heartfelt) makes sense to me..
greendaytone Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Well, the 'Zine has gone to print, so it's all academic now...
TheJedi Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Well, the 'Zine has gone to print, so it's all academic now... When do you think it will be ready so we can buy it?
greendaytone Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 When do you think it will be ready so we can buy it? I should have them by Wednesday, so probably any time from then! Will talk to Andres about when to put it up on the site
Annie, get your gun Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I voted for the traditional one I can't wait to see it finished.
karma1215 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Considering that I did a full length paper on Riot Grrrls and fanzines I would consider this idea pretty fucking groovey... So glad to hear fanzines are coming back.
MrsBillieJoe95 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I think this is an awesome idea I think that top GDC member tweets/posts (decided by the mods) should be included somewhere in there just for the fun of it what all is planned on being featured in the zine at the moment? omg you should do random posters of the mods xDD It does make a good drinking game as well lol my sister and I did this one day xD we watched a couple of interviews and did shots of powerade we went through a bottle each on a 5 minute video O.o
