I had the bandana for about three minutes in my hand when slipped away to the other guy who was also holding it. :cry:

That's what happened to me and his whistle thingy here. Don't cry, we'll both be lucky next time around. <3

It can mean that but generally I believe it's only used as a code depicting your fetishes and preferable position (dom/sub) in gay clubs. I don't think you can assume anyone, anywhere with a handkerchief in their pocket is "advertising themselves".

Also I think it would probably be a good idea to check what his color usually means. No one's really done that in any discussions we've had about this. If it's "bisexual" or something we already know about him, he might be referencing the handkerchief code on purpose.

According to wikipedia black is S&M, lol. It still might be that it is some kind of vague reference to the handkerchief code I suppose though, wouldn't surprise me if he knew about it and did it partly as a tongue in cheek nod to that (without being as specific as thinking about what the colour means or anything). But I think it's mostly (if not all) just for fashion.

Yes, yes we do. :toocool:

See this thread if you haven't already. Particularly:

No, this isn't some secret way for them to say they broke up. They're not breaking up. This seems like a technical problem. Either someone from Warner/GD Management fucked up, or the most likely explanation (imo), is that it was accidentally taken down by YouTube's system to track copyrighted stuff.

Random question from a fan who was too young to witness old Green Day: How popular were Green Day's old albums and singles in comparison to stuff that is popular today? This may be hard, but try to give a popular song from the past few years and use it to explain, say, the popularity of Basket Case. Thanks!

D'oh, even better. Had no idea, sorry. :P

Dookie was mega-popular. Insomniac and Nimrod were pretty popular, too, but nowhere near that. Warning was...moderately popular, just like any random mainstream artist's album.

Can you compare them to albums in recent history?

I'm assuming you mean in Bullet in a Bible? Cause they've played in England literally hundreds of times.

Well they've played in England 31 times as of 1997, I was not referring to just the times they played that song. And please, don't make me count these things when i'm on my phone. I can't use ctrl+f to find things quickly. This is not how I want to spend my night.

It's something like this. The picking is kind of random so just play with it a bit, but it's fundamentally this:

e-------3------------3-----------------------------------

B-----3---3--------3---3----------5-----------4-------12-

G-0-0-0-----0--0-0-0-----0------5---5-------5---5-----12-

D-0-0-0--------0-0-0----------5-------5---5-------5---12-

I'm not making you do anything :P And what has 1997 got to do with anything? You're not gonna tell me my life is a lie and WMUWSE was written that far back, are you?

And they've played in England a lot more than 31 times since 1997. What is this post.

Some people like to say it was started shortly after his father died and finished later, like Scattered. I haven't been able to verify those claims though. Could just be people who can't into figurative language assuming things based on "seven years" and "twenty years".

Oh, ok. I can believe that, but I'm pretty sure they never played it live, especially in England, before American Idiot came out. As for the "twenty years" bit, 20 years since Andy died was 2002, so there's that.

Either way, I'm not sure I really want to take on Tman when it comes to knowing exactly what songs they played at any given show :P

I wasn't contradicting your point, they didn't play it back then. I just thought of the trivia when you mentioned its writing.

What's that about Scattered?

What's that about Scattered?

It was started in '92 and finished later. Not sure how much later, probably shortly before Nimrod.

Billie talked about writing WMUWSE in Broadway Idiot (or deleted scene forget which)

The first verse of Scattered was written in 92 and the second in 96, Billie Joe said it at the time he tweeted.

And yes, for WMUWSE,

That gif set doesn't prove anything, he doesn't say that he wrote it seven years later, just that the time of his father's death was the reason for that number. Unless he said something else in the interview that confirms it.
