No, I mean like real size ones

in Niagara Falls (Canada side) I was walking around the tourist area and they had a wax rock and roll hall of fame and listed Billie Joe on the list outside the window... But I didn't end up going in.. So Billie has at least 1 wax figure.. Dunno the rest of the band..

Niagra Falls is such a bitch. Sometime's it's Canada, sometimes it's New York. Like, just pick a side dude :P

When did Billie say something like "Life isn't pretty, but it sure is beautiful"?

Like literally at every concert on this tour in the break of Letterbomb :lol:

37 songs isn't enough, I know.

How do you know it was originally called Emily?

Billie said so during one of the 21CB interviews, possibly if you search youtube for when he talks about Viva la Gloria. However, I don't think it's necessarily true that he was writing about the same Emily that Emily's Army is named for. He said "I was using the name Emily" for the song, like he was just brainstorming possible female character names and that's what he was using but then he decided he liked Gloria better. He also said the song is about him and could have easily been called "Viva la Billie Joe" if it didn't sound shitty :lol: The Emily thing I think is a coincidence.

So Little Girl (The song) wasn't called Emily, but the character was, right?

And who plays the extra instruments in Espionage?

IDK, I imagine whichever Viva la Gloria was written first in Billie's head.... this is minutia I don't even care about, and I'm pretty detail-oriented :lol: (does he even say "Gloria" in Little Girl? If not, I'd assume it was just the first song that had Emily as the working name, unless he had the idea for the character before the songs anyway...)

And does anyone think Green Day will make up their promotional appearances or do interviews in the next month before their EU tour?

They'll probably do some in Europe, they're super-mega-popular in certain countries over there. I hope so anyways.

its just little out-takes and bits of footage that didn't make the final cut of the documentary itself, like Mike and Serena Williams playing ping pong.

What exactly is "The Angel and the Jerk"? I heard it on Last FM, and it was great! but is there any information/story about it?

It was recorded for the tv show Friends in 1999 and appeared on its soundtrack.

Actually I asked earlier in the thread, and it was recorded for a different show, then that was cancelled and it was adopted by Friends.

Anyone have this cover but without the parental advisory sticker? I would do it myself in Photoshop but I'm afraid I'd mess it up. Thanks :)

EDIT: Nevermind tried myself, I think it looks good. I moved the letters over a bit so it doesn't seem so empty. If anyone else wants it, feel free to take it. :)

Is this true, i never heard that ?

This is not the first visit to the country by at least one of the members of Green Day about six months ago, bassist Mike Dirnt came to know the grave of his grandfather, in American (Yankee stronghold of immigration in São Paulo).

Yeah, I've heard that Mike's grandfather is buried in Brazil (in the state of São Paulo, but I forgot which city) and when Green Day came in 1998, Mike took the opportunity to visit his grave. But I don't know if it's true.
