I'd say Last Ride In, but that came out 99, right? Maybe the Welcome to Paradise video since that was UK-only

We'll the blink one isn't available anywhere and no one knows anything about it except the plot. It's probably something we didn't know had a video.

Please post questions like this in the Q&A thread in future - I've moved it for you this time.

Billie has a roughly flat EQ, so bass, mid and treble at around 5, with distortion at around 7 or 8 for that song, and a bit of reverb. If you really want to replicate the sound you'll need a hollowbody electric guitar (he used a Gretsch 6120 in the studio, Jason uses a Gibson ES335 live) and a huge stack of Marshalls. You should be able to get close enough with the settings I mentioned though, they're fundamentally his amp settings.

Welcome to GDC, by the way :)

I get closer to AI's sound with Bass 8, Mid 5, Treble 10 and Overdrive 6. It depends so much on the guitar and amp that no answer will really do Xzavier justice, he needs to use his ears.

I've been hearing it for almost a year now on a semi-regular basis and this is the first time I've ever heard it being called out so I just assumed it was true :P

He mentioned his stage fright in RS said drinking was the way to open up to the crowd (im paraphrasing that part)

Ahh right he has said it then. But what I'm saying is it isn't something you notice while watching him, he never looks nervous or anything other than full of confidence once he's on stage. If anyone says they've "noticed" it then I think it's only because he mentioned it and they're looking for differences and seeing ones that aren't really there. Any time anything about a Green Day show is slightly different (even if it isn't really different and has always happened, such as Billie forgetting the words of a song or singing a bit off) then there's some theory about it being to do with drugs/rehab. It's tiresome :P

Maybe. I don't know how our fan base compares to blink's, but we seem to know everything that's happened... Maybe something for She or 86, Prosthetic Head maybe.

BJ mentioned plans for a "Prosthetic Head" video in an interview from 1997. Every bands seems to have an unfinished video^^

Overstatement.

I actually think my lack of reliance on facts qualifies me much better than silly journalistic integrity :P

That was a bootleg released in Sweden in 2007.

The track listing is:

Side A:

She / Waiting / We Are The Champions / Blitzkrieg Bop / Holidays In The Sun / I Fought The Law / Outsider / Don't Wanna Know If You're Lonely

Side B:

Paper Lanterns / Welcome To Paradise / Chump / Longview / Burnout

I imagine it's pretty rare. Whether it's any good or not is another matter.

Um....that $100 price tag lol. For a bootleg haha. :lol:

I can't blame them for trying their luck. It's a rare item and Green Day completists are insane. I can see Tman selling his Lego for it as we speak.

Do you know where/when it was recorded?

It's just a selection of live tracks from 1994-2005 as far as I'm aware. I have no idea where any specific tracks are from, unfortunately.

No, I've seen it a few times before. I wouldn't pay more than $25 for it, and I would never sell my legos for any Green Day.
