Does anyone have any idea of what "The wrong side of the womr" might be? It says so next to the Baby Eyes lyrics in the Dos book but maybe it's just a spelling mistake/prining error.

Stop, Drop, and Roll!!!

Their label is Reprise, which is owned by the company that makes cartoons. They own quite a few labels, Nirvana was also on one of theirs.

Actually Warner Bros hasnt owned Warner Music Group since 2005 a company called Access Industries now owns WMG

And Nirvana was never on any Warner labels only Sub Pop a indie and DGC which was distributed thru Geffen/Interscope and now Universal

Why did Billie used to wear guitar picks on a necklace ?

In the Fuck Time lyrics, is Amanda Jones the Amanda that Billie dated, or someone else? I googled Amanda Jones, and nothing substantial came up. It'd be weird if Billie wrote a song that passionate about fucking his ex (and used her last name)

To ward off evil spirits

Oddly enough I just asked a similar question in the Dos thread, I think the only way we'll find out is if it comes up in an interview

The thing is that he wrote the song about the AI musical cast shouting "it's fuck time!" and Theo Stockman calling himself "King of Fuck." The song itself wasn't written with a woman in particular in mind, it was written as a dirty thought stream of consciousness based on the ridiculous "It's fuck time!" chant that the ensemble cast did. Later on, it seems, (after a lot of different lyrics used there) he changed it to Amanda Jones (Jones being just a fake last name, probably)... probably to add to the midlife crisis feel of the song, or make it connect with the song Amanda on Tre, who knows. The point is that it's not conpletely creepy because it didn't originate from a creepy place, even if it may have ended up there from some of our perspectives.

I thought Geffen was owned by Warner?

Never thought to try and find that out before but I just have. It's "Resolution" by an old Lookout Records band called Fifteen, same band that did C Yo Yus. The line's at 2:52 here:

When people ask Green Day to play some older songs...have they really forgotten most of them or do they just wanna fuck with people's minds? lol I thought a band is supposed to know their entire catalog :lol: I really think its just the songs Jason doesn't know. Example:

Billie only stops Stuart and the Ave because Jason can't follow along. Does this mean that if Jason weren't around they would play more old songs???? Just curious :happy:

Judging by the amount of times Billie's totally forgotten the lyrics while attempting to play old rarely played songs I don't think it's just because of Jason lol. I mean when he was asked about Reject in an interview once he said "What song is that?" :lol:. They know the songs they need to know but I think there's a lot that they don't, especially the ones they've never played or haven't played for years.

It was in the audience Q&A session that happened after the Times Talk interview he did in 2005. There used to be audio of it on here but unfortunately since Megaupload's gone I don't know where it can be found now =/, can't find it on Youtube either. You'll be pleased to know he did remember what song it was eventually, I think he was asked what he was saying when he made those random noises at end of the song and the answer was nothing :lol:

Wasn't sure where to ask this as it's more of a GDC question...but where's Static Noise?...I miss it.

Are there any videos online of Billie Joe giving Conan (on the Conan Show) his guitar as a present?

According to Andres it's paused due to more important things on GDA/C that they need to focus on right now or so.

Yeah that's correct, they've decided to focus on other projects on the site for now.
