Undómiel Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 That gif is really weird.... It looks like she's a noddy dog. Only sideways.
Fuzz Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 From what I've read, Amanda is the South America girl and Good Riddance is about her, too. If I'm not mistaken, she wasn't south american. She broke up with him and moved to Ecuador or something OMG Amanda!! Doesn't both 80 that BJA is still writing about her !? I doubt she cares much since she's the one who gets to fondle his giblets at her pleasure.
GuitarPunk94 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 i know there are a lot of green day fans who just know AI, 21CB and some popular older stuff like BC...i wonder how everyone is going to like the new album..if the whole album will sound like the new songs we've heard at the secret shows it will definitely will make it into my "Top 3 GD-Albums" xDD and if there will be even a dvd with the working progress of the album and the secret shows it will just be mind-blowing for me..and a world tour would make me get an errection like i never had before
Cori Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 If I'm not mistaken, she wasn't south american. She broke up with him and moved to Ecuador or something Oh, I didn't mean that she was South American, I meant that she was the one who moved there. Sorry for the confusion.
Vrock09 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I just kept wondering if they had food in those little green and white bags.. Typical fatty thoughts..
gloria123 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 the thing about finally naming whatsername reminds me of How I Met Your Mother and the girl with the yellow umbrella- she has no name and you just know her as having no name till the end when they decide to reveal it but i'd love it they kept putting out these videos!
jtdscape Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Studio shots are new, but the street shots are from the summer.
Sarcasm Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I just kept wondering if they had food in those little green and white bags.. Typical fatty thoughts.. Say what? All I wonder is how much money Billie spends on his hair, compared to how much it's costing to make the album.
GuitarPunk94 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 50 guests reading this topic??..why dont share your thoughts with us
Sixtrix Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Say what? All I wonder is how much money Billie spends on his hair, compared to how much it's costing to make the album. would be funny if he spends more on his hair now than they paid for the recordings of Kerplunk
pretty_and_demented Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 How can 20 second videos make me so excited?

Ashley! Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 would be funny if he spends more on his hair now than they paid for the recordings of Kerplunk Haha, that would be great. But I feel like I heard somewhere that he did it himself. I'm probably wrong though.

desertrose Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 first of all..isnt it true that "She" and "Whatsername" and now "Amanda" are all songs about the same girl (whose name we get to know now)?? Who is this girl Billie is singing about all the time? Billie Joe explained about Amanda in an interview with VH1 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.
Guest Just Another Joe Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm way to excited for this record.
No Rhyme Or Reason Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks, desertrose! I was going to post that, but you beat me to it. She, Sassafras Roots, Cump, Good Riddance, Whatsername, and now "Amanda" are all about that girl Amanda. She studied abroad in Ecuador - at least that's how I took it, based on how Billie worded it in that interview. So she didn't even move there - it was just for a semester. I'm so excited that Amanda might be on the new album! It sounds like a really good song, and it's my name, so that makes it even cooler (at least for me). As soon as I heard Billie speaking in the video, I knew it was the recording from the secret show last year! (Thanks to... oh, I forgot who... in another thread a few days ago )
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Every time a new video comes out it's like unwrapping a present on Christmas morning. It's fucking awesome.
Gwen Stacy Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Let me slowly pick my jaw back up from the floor I was fortunate enough to be at the Red7 show and ever since then Amanda has resonated with me because I had an Amanda of my own that never worked out. The song speaks to me. So does this mean it will be on the new album? I hope so.
Velocity Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 What is "2/20' ? Curiosity! The date. 2/20 as in February 20th. Also, :woot:
Working ClassHero Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 The date. 2/20 as in February 20th. Also, :woot: Yes yes! Thanks!
jose armstrong Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm liking Jason's guitar choice throughout these videos. You know some shit is going to go down when a Rickenbacker comes in.
