Well, dropping the h is more like an impersonation of Tom DeLonge!

"You're already the voice inside moiy yed" :lol:

He does do it even worse :lol:, but I think you'll find the English have been dropping their h's it for several hundred years and Billie was doing it before him :P. Saying "my" as "moiy" is totally English as well. Like with Billie I think Tom DeLonge's singing is probably partly influenced by the snotty Cockney voices of many classic punk bands, seems like quite a lot of American punk singers have some slightly English elements to their voice. That and just happening to have a voice that sounds that way too of course.

Is someone allowed to post a screen cap of an Idiot Nation exclusive on their Facebook? I don't think so considering they are exclusives, but the photographer of a set of pictures posted a screen cap of the page on her FaceBook saying "my photography on Green Day's Idiot Nation!" I didn't know if she could cause she took the pictures lol or if she signed an agreement giving away the rights (which I assume she did.)

Who cares?

Do you think it's morally wrong for her to post the picture?

Morally wrong? No - legally, I don't know. And a lot of people don't care, and truth be told - I only care because it seems like the fanclubs and websites are a big game of "don't do it..oh but you're okay." People pay money, $20 bucks - for little exclusivity on a site like that, and I just think respecting what is up should be done.

I know that Kill the DJ was released as a single in the UK but I was wondering why it wasn't in the states. It's catchy and I think it would have done well. Is it because of the Aurora theatre shooting that happened in July?

The band always releases a UK single but why they decided to not make it worldwide it's just a band decision that we might never know

I wanted to order thee Green Day skate decks from Adeline Store but I just wanted to see the shipping price and I saw it was like 200$ is that normal, FedEx price are always expensive like that, because the Ultimate Box Set shipping was only 20$

You have to keep in mind the size and weight of them all together takes into account when shipping. Plus overseas shopping, that would take the price up quite a bit. It would probably cost around that or even more to ship to Australia.

But it's a skate deck it's not that heavy because it doesn't have wheels or that kind of things, a piece of wood it's not that heavy

Three of them would still be a bit of weight. The length of it would contribute as well. Guitars aren't that heavy but they cost about $150 to ship to Australia.

It wasn't released in the states because they released Let Yourself Go in the states instead. I don't know why they decided that but yeah :P

To be honest a lot of the time on the Idiot Club "exclusive" means "you get to see it first before we post it on greenday.com a couple of days later" anyway. Knowing that, I'd guess that a photographer posting a screencap of their own photos (which surely isn't even worth looking at since it's not the individual photos in any kind of decent quality?) on a facebook page that most Green Day fans wouldn't even know about isn't something they'd be concerned about.

I've always wondered where do all the big stage set ups go after tour? Like the LED screens and lights and such? What exactly happens to them?

I think they might sell these, but that's just my opinion.

They might not be owned by Green Day, but rented from a company that rents stage set ups for big bands. Or if they are owned, then they get sold to other bands

So... How much money did Green Day waste by destroying the stage and smashing (and burning) their instruments after every show on the Warning tour?

Instrument wise they probally have endorsement deals

Fender used to ship Kurt Cobain mexican strats by the busloads that Kurt would destroy at the end

Tre had an endorsement from a drum company (can't remember which one) and it's been said that he made the company go bankrupt from smashing so many kits.
