Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 This was asked in the Things Only Green Day Fans Will Understand thread: I'm reposting it here because I really wanna know this too! Just saw that this got reposted here so... The story of "Who the fuck is Tré Cool?" is actually quite interesting. One night, after a show in LA, the three of them were leaving a bar, very very drunk, when they bumped into Tom Cruise. Being very short, even shorter than anyone in Green Day, Tom was very quick to anger, and started an almighty kerfuffle. Not eager to take a pounding from the Hollywood A-lister's bodyguards, Billie Joe quickly shouted "don't start any shit you guys, Tré Cool will fuck you up!". The bodyguards were immensely confused by this, and paused, allowing our three heroes to scarper. Enraged, Tom Cruise could be heard screaming "WHO THE FUCK IS TRÉ COOL?" while admonishing his bodyguards for letting the trio escape. Tré of course found this hilarious, and had the t-shirt that Hermione mentioned made to commemorate that night. So there you have it. Not a word of a lie.
Snows Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Oh, c'mon, is this real? It would be so cool, really.
Spike Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 In the studio version of let yourself go who is saying "gotta let it go gotta let it go!" It can't be billie because it doesn't sound like him and it's defiantly not mike? That's Billie. 100% sure, he's just shouting. Although Jason does a great job of it live.
Penguin Puffball Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I'm not sure I want to honestly believe anything Seagod says
Snows Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I'm not sure I want to honestly believe anything Seagod says ahahaha me too. It would be so awesome.
Jollyroger118 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 That's Billie. 100% sure, he's just shouting. Although Jason does a great job of it live. Not.
Punkfreak1414 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I'm pretty positive it was just a lie on wiki pedia and I don't hear it but is there a mellotron in x kid and if there is then where? Also what songs in the trilogy have tambourine in them and where? (All I can hear it in is fuck time) (:
Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Also what songs in the trilogy have tambourine in them and where? (All I can hear it in is fuck time) (: Every. Single. Fucking. Song.
Punkfreak1414 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Every. Single. Fucking. Song. Lmfao! I just don't hear it. I hear it in fuck time, the beggining of little boy named train and the second verse of 99 revolutions.
Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Lmfao! I just don't hear it. I hear it in fuck time, the beggining of little boy named train and the second verse of 99 revolutions. Trust me, it's there. Listen for it whenever Tré goes onto the hi-hats, that's when it usually comes in. I can't even listen to Lazy Bones anymore because of the damn tambourine.
Hermione Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Just saw that this got reposted here so...This story entertained me. However I still want to know the real answer
Penguin Puffball Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I never noticed any tambourine in any song
Certified Nimrod Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Whats with Billie Joe encouraging people to do graffiti on his instagram? That hashtag was around long before Billie posted it. In the studio version of let yourself go who is saying "gotta let it go gotta let it go!" It can't be billie because it doesn't sound like him and it's defiantly not mike? It is Billie. Watch early performances of the song (any performance before 2012 VMAs) and you'll see him do it.
Todd Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I never noticed any tambourine in any song Then you must only listen to music when doing other things, cause it's one of those things that you only notice if you're paying 100% attention to the music.

I'm one of those people too. I can't just listen to music. Which songs have a lot of tambourine?
Guest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm one of those people too. I can't just listen to music. Which songs have a lot of tambourine? Didn't you see my post on the previous page? ALL of them have it. My brother is a drummer and it drives him fucking insane. He refuses to play the same drum lines as Tré when we're jamming on Trilogy songs because using the tambourine all the time gets on his nerves.
Penguin Puffball Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Then you must only listen to music when doing other things, cause it's one of those things that you only notice if you're paying 100% attention to the music. Oh, see I can't listen to music without singing along. There's my problem.
Spike Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Then you must only listen to music when doing other things, cause it's one of those things that you only notice if you're paying 100% attention to the music. It's pretty hard to just listen to the trilogy without falling into a coma, though.
green day is Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 it's one of those things that you only notice if you're paying 100% attention to the music. If you're a pleb, yeah.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 8 years in between albums, yes. But lots of things on Neighborhoods were written in the self titled era. And After Midnight is a classic Mark-Tom single. We can agree to disagree on the classic thing. It's pretty good but I found the whole album rather unforgettable. I dunno, like I said, I'm overly critical... I never noticed any tambourine in any song Seriously? It's SO bad. It's unfortunately very distracting.
green day is Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 We can agree to disagree on the classic thing. No you can't. What do you think "classic" really means? Because in this instance, it means that it was written before their break up, which is correct. Despite its occasional usage as such, it does not mean anything overtly positive about the thing you choose to describe with it.

Because in this instance, it means that it was written before their break up, which is correct. Despite its occasional usage as such, it does not mean anything overtly positive about the thing you choose to describe with it. Classic, as defined by Merriam Webster's dictionary: clas·sic adjective \ˈkla-sik\ — used to say that something has come to be considered one of the best of its kind — used to say that something is an example of excellence — used to describe something that has been popular for a long time I feel that song is none of those things. And I have every right to disagree with your meaning of a word and its application to describing that song, as does anyone else. After all, you're the one who likes to argue semantics, right?
green day is Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 After all, you're the one who likes to argue semantics, right? Yes, I am. You don't have to argue back if you don't want to. The word classic, as well as the strict definition, has also come to mean something from a previous time. I feel that that's the exact meaning intended by Jon Benjamin, considering the song was relatively unknown before it was placed on Neghborhoods and doesn't at all fit the description of "popular". It's also hard to believe anyone would consider it "the best of its time", since - I'm pretty sure - all that was heard of it was the main riff, in that documentary of them recording their self-titled album.
The Disappearing Boy Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 This story entertained me. However I still want to know the real answer It was on the T shirt of one of the girls in the fan clip of BIAB. I don't know where it came from before then.
Liam Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 It was on the T shirt of one of the girls in the fan clip of BIAB. I don't know where it came from before then. The earliest origin of is Billie wearing it during at interview. As to who actually said it or came up with it, we have no idea.
