Green Day Q&A Thread

[fatherotti]

2 songs from 1,039, and none from Kerplunk? Odd definition of perfect.

Dude...Castaway? Nice Guys Finish Last?! Church On Sunday?!?! Waiting?! Who cares about Kerplunk when you've got those four? lol

Could someone who speaks italian please translate this? I found it in this article about their secret show in Milan. http://www.rollingstonemagazine.it/musica/news-musica/ohibo-i-green-day-a-sorpresa-a-milano/ I tried to use google translator but it didn't translate very well.

"Piccole curiosità: Tré Cool, con addosso una t-shirt dei Cramps, ha assistito dalla prima fila a tutto il concerto dei Crooks. Un sobrissimo Billie Joe ha rovesciato per errore la birra di una ragazza: senza scomporsi, e senza avvicinarsi alla bottiglia, gliene ha fatta comprare un’altra dalla propria bodyguard. Più in disparte Mike Dirnt, ma per modo di dire: i tre Green Day hanno posato volentieri con tutti quelli che chiedevano una foto."

Here you go:

"Some random facts: Tre Cool, who was wearing a Cramps t-shirt, attended the whole Crooks concert from the first row. A sober Billie Joe accidentally spilled a girl’s beer: calmly and without approaching the bottle, he asked his bodyguard to buy her another one. Mike Dirnt standed apart, as a figure of speech: the three of them gladly posed with all those who asked for a photo."

Thank you very much!

I understood that something happened with a beer but I coudn't understand what exactly so I was curious, so thanks for the translation! It was really nice of Billie to buy that girl another beer because he spilled it. I love when he cares about the fans.

You're welcome!

I don't know if you tried to read the rest of the article, but there's nothing relevant, it just says that there were about 100 people and that they used Prima Donna's instruments, nothing new.

[kerplunk325]

how do people get VIP and backstage passes for shows?

[green day is]

Favorite Son definitely should be, Highway 1 no, Alison maybe look for that show him and Elvis Costello did together, Disease is Punishment no.

[Awesompawsome]

Ok so what is the deal with Highway 1, it's a good track, is there a known reason why it didn't go on stop drop and roll or is there nothing notable or interesting behind it

[Liam]

There's no public way of actually getting them. If you're lucky Idiot might do contests but it's highly unlucky. People who get to meet them just get lucky.

There's no known reason why it wasn't included on the album, they just didn't seem to want to for some reason.

so I was looking at Oh Love music video and I actually gotta say why does it have 12 million views? I know Green Day has a really strong fan base there are millions of us fans and seeing the video I think it should have at least like 23 25 million views by now and Kill the DJ should have like 15 million and Let Yourself Go like 20 million and then Stray Heart 3 million really guys? c'mon is it cause the bands not in it? its still a great video I know they really didnt get promote which they should now or at least when they are done w/ their european tour

I'm sorry we didn't watch those videos more?

No seriously, what are you looking to hear? They don't have a lot of views cause not a lot of people watched them, that's it.

It's not mainstream enough to get the amount of views that the pop music scene get's now a days. The music is simple and easy for us to listen to, but not everyone likes rock. (I know, strange, huh?)

[St.JimmyxChristiansInferno]

true but yeah I was just thinking it should have a little more then it deserves such a good song but then one im confused with is Stray Heart when Oh Love and Kill the DJ was uploaded it got a shit ton of viwes first day when Stray Heart came out it was like 400 or 500 the first week just wondering about that one

Well unfortunately, just because a song is good doesn't mean it will be successful.

Hey guys I was just wondering. Would you recommend to me to buy Stop Drop and Roll and Money Money 2020? I've never listened to these songs before, sot that's I want to know if they're any good. Thanks in advance

Buy Stop Drop And Roll right this second

As far as Network you'll have half the board say buy it and the other half skip it

Personally I'd say skip it
