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).

I have seen that a while ago... I don't know if it's true. Actually, I don't see why would Mike's grandfather be buried in Brazil.

How come I can't find that video of Green Day playing Good Riddance or Basket case where he speaks the lyrics and there was a Hawaii theme on the whole bar/place they played it at? I used to find it hilarious, but now I don't know how to find it. "Green Day hula" didn't give me much on youtube :P

He named Private Ale (he confirmed this in a recent Idiot Nation interview). Can't really get any earlier than that so I guess that's the first that we know of.

It sounds like you're referring to the Halloween show at Webster Hall where they sang those songs to Monster Mash with the AI cast ladies. Don't know where you're getting the Hawaiian vibe :lol: Unless you're actually thinking of something else...

The only themed place I can think of in recent times is when they played the Tiki Club, but that was a different show to the Halloween one where the spoken monster mash thing occurred (Tiki was before that was it not?)

I've just bought 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours CD, but I'm not sure, which release is this. It says "lyrics by Billy Joe", exacly like on Japanese version, but everything else look like 1997 European release. Could you help me?

It is indeed the European release. It says "Epitaph Europe" which was the only company to release it in Europe back then.

Thank you! However, this mistake in Billie's name makes me wonder. I checked back cover of European release on greendaydiscography.com and his name is spelled properly.

Didn't know but maybe spring/summer 2014 with early 2014 and late 2013 see them in Asia/Australia and then summer/autumn 2014 being in USA and South America.

Of course it's pure speculation

They take you into a backroom and touch your pee pee. Then they give you a fiver and tell you Father Christmas says watch out for the beans, they're overdone.

If you mean pull you out at the front of the pit, they send you along the front of the stage and then up the side of the pit, generally to the back of the GA area.

Hope that answers your question.
