joeysturkeyhead Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I'm scanning it soon when mum has finished on the computer. I'll scan the MCR bit too Is your mom done soon, please? I NEED IT NOW.
cabot_girl Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 May sound like snobbery, nit-picking and off topic, its just fucking with my head the fact that 'newest' isn't a word. 'Latest' however, is... Probably because english is not my first language;-P
stuart_and_the_ave Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Sorry that took so long, had to help mum with something and feed the cat (I also stood on a slug ) That's not what I meant Do you want me to get you a copy?
mbk Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 It's a bit alarming to me that Mike reiterates here that Billie Joe's life is in danger. When he said it in the radio interview it could be taken more in the sense of the progression of his life, how he wants to live it, being threatened by his addiction, and not actually being at risk of losing his life!
Alan86 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 "American idiot won the Grammy for best rock album in 2002 and boulevard of broken dreams won record of the year a year later" Amazing it won these awards two years before the album was released. I never knew that [/sarcasm] I liked what mike had to say about the current situation.
farley drexel hatcher Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 It's a bit alarming to me that Mike reiterates here that Billie Joe's life is in danger. When he said it in the radio interview it could be taken more in the sense of the progression of his life, how he wants to live it, being threatened by his addiction, and not actually being at risk of losing his life! Yeah it's alarming given how there were, outwardly, no real signs that he was struggling so bad.
stuart_and_the_ave Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks! But.. the MCR part? I put it in the MCR thread but here it is again
abattlecry Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I put it in the MCR thread but here it is again Thank you!
mbk Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 It's really scary. Before the iheartradio incident nothing seemed off at all. I guess it just goes to show that even though we all, as fans, think we know them so well but we really have no idea what's going on. I'm so glad he's getting help. We really don't know them at all. All we can do is extrapolate from what we've seen and read, and that is full of potential misunderstandings. Billie Joe has always been very vulnerable in his song writing, but I always thought he was strong. Now I just feel sort of worried and sad.
Annie, get your gun Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks a lot for posting the article!
AngelBlue_ Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 "Billie doesn't take things lighthly and he wouldn't take the rehab lightly.he's in the middle of some really big things, but we are going to put trought,it's killing everyone,Green day has never been a band that sits still, but sometimes you have to step back and let life go on then rather to control everything" sad...but I believe in Billie
Heather. Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I'm glad Mike thinks he's taking it seriously. As alarming as these "life in danger" quotes have been, I'm just grateful we're hearing about it in hindsight while he's hopefully getting better, instead of hearing about it after tragedy struck and it was too late, ya know? This is a good thing. We didn't know there was a problem until after it was already being fixed. Thank God. Speculation is moot---it's being addressed.
Schlappy Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 everybody should have a mike in their lives, seriously. he's the absolute best
stuart_and_the_ave Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Yes please I'll get it tomorrow. If anyone else wants a copy let me know
Anja Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I'll get it tomorrow. If anyone else wants a copy let me know I'll need to bring an extra suitcase in december.
EJN Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 except the fact that they cancelled voodoo.... well seeing as their latest cancelled show is a week away, I'm sure he has at least a month (probably more) left in his program, or they wouldn't have missed a major festival... Not necessarily because they haven't practiced in a long time so they would have a hard time preparing for a show in less than a week. We can hope he is coming back soon but he should just take his time. Especially since there is nothing big coming up for a while
stuart_and_the_ave Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 In last weeks Kerrang they had an article called 'Rock in Rehab'. It had a bit about Billie and the rest was about other rockstars who had been in rehab (James HetfieldVille Valo and others) I can scan it if anyone wants to read it. Also realised Green Day have been in Kerrang for the last 9 weeks in a row!!
Ritz Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Awesome article and wise words by Mike on Billie! He wants to see Lady Gaga in the musical xDD
GreenDayisAmazing Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 They always have awesome covers of Billie or Green Day!
