DookieLukie Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 thanks - I have no idea how to find those things. For some reason album sales are very hush hush and hard to access.
Spike Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Lets not forget an acoustic guitar, not sure which one though. According to Billie, "one with strings and a hole in it." It was most likely either a Guild D55 or Gibson J-200.
green day is Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 This question may come across a bit deprecating, but it's an honest question nonetheless. Are there any videos of Tré actually doing anything on his drums? I mean it's mostly just kick hat snare hat with fills at the end and crashes on the 1 and 3 sometimes. Are there any recordings of him sort of going "crazy" or showing off? I don't doubt that he can do some cool shit, of course - he's been playing for over thirty years - but are there any particular recordings that stick out? Also, a smaller request, does anybody have those videos of Mike and Billie playing drums? The most popular one on Youtube was this cute little "lol who's better XDD" thing with both of them, but it's gone now. I don't even know what they were from, since they were separate clips.

Not the best quality, but you more than get the picture.

I did have an audio file of a Tre drum solo and it was pretty impressive. Can't seem to find it now, unfortunately. He does have his moments on the records, though. The solos and fills in Jesus Of Suburbia are pretty awesome, and most of Basket Case is crazy. But I too would be interested in seeing him just let rip for an extended amount of time. Also:

It was all over Youtube (and Limewire lol) labelled as Tré, but it was always Travis. I forgot that there was some Billie drumming stuff in Cuatro! Thanks.
Jon Benjamin Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 What happened with gda and the 21st century breakdown demo? Did they leak it and get in trouble or what?
green day is Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 What happened with gda and the 21st century breakdown demo? Did they leak it and get in trouble or what? GDA: guise demo look Warner: no stahp GDA: k
Certified Nimrod Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 GDA: guise demo look Warner: no stahp GDA: k i crie evrytim
Spike Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Maybe Warner objected to the leaked demo because it was so much better than the version that made it onto the album.
Hermione Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 What happened with gda and the 21st century breakdown demo? Did they leak it and get in trouble or what? GDA didn't leak it as far I know. It got leaked somewhere somehow, and then I think GDA/GDC just got asked not to allow downloads of it on the site which is standard when something leaks. Does anyone actually know how it got leaked? Don't think we ever found that out.

bagelfeet Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 In the cover of I Wanna Be On TV on Shenanigans does Billie Joe or Mike sing?

Jon Benjamin Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Billie sings.It sounds like Billie trying to impersonate mike
bagelfeet Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Billie sings. ok just wanted to make sure because he sounds a lot like Mike
UNICORN VOMIT Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 How are record sales calculated since people can purchase single songs from iTunes.
Todd Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 How are record sales calculated since people can purchase single songs from iTunes. Now they even count so many views on youtube as a record sale- not sure exactly- it's complicated

xLumian Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 What kind of neck does billie joe use on Blue and some of his fender strats? I know its maple.. but the color of the fretboard and headstock is different from what I see out there. The headstock is much darker than all the strats I see out there. I seriously can't find a neck in that color combination anywhere. Is it just a dirty maple fretboard? or do they sell it like that? Like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Billie_Joe_Armstrong_Scotland_2009.jpg http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8400000/Green-Day-LIVE-green-day-8417993-2560-2231.jpg

Spike Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Yeah, pretty sure it's just dirt on the fretboard of his guitars. Blue is over 30 years old now, when you take into account regular playing for so long, plus Woodstock, playing outdoor gigs in the rain and in bright sunlight, and sweating all over the guitar, the colour is bound to fade like hell. It really doesn't take very long for a shocking amount of dirt to accumulate and I'm sure that's what it must be. There's also the fact that Blue isn't a Fender, so the neck could have been a slightly different colour from the Fenders to start with. The second picture with the Class of 13 guitar looks normal to me, though.
