Tubbie Head Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 *people care more about the dog video than the frustrators being back or Billie and Eggplant Yes, this is true in my case. Firstly I was never a fan of the Frustrators, and secondly I don't recall who Eggplant is... And I'm a dog lover so
lizziebix Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 whos eggplant...I'll second this question...
halfempty Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Isn't Eggplant an old time friend of Green Day's?
lizziebix Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Isn't Eggplant an old time friend of Green Day's? I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
IsaGreenDay Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 whos eggplant... Yes, this is true in my case. Firstly I was never a fan of the Frustrators, and secondly I don't recall who Eggplant is... And I'm a dog lover so I'll second this question... Eggplant was basically the guy enthusiastic about what everyone was doing back in the day. He introduced Billie and Mike to Gilman, and back when he lived in Pinole he would print up flyers and have those big parties with lots of bands playing in his backyard, including Green Day. He used to play guitar for Blatz, and also created this punk zine called Absolutely Zippo. He's the guy who says the "what you will" part in Longview, too.

Todd Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Operation Ivy's last show was in Eggplant's backyard, and Pinhead Gunpowder have played his backyard too in 1994 See Billie in this pic: I can't believe you guys don't know who he is. Why is it only the 16 year olds that know Eggplant? But honestly, does anyone know who that chick is?
IsaGreenDay Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 But honestly, does anyone know who that chick is? Kamala Parks, from the band Kamala & the Karnivores I think.
Tubbie Head Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I had heard of him, but wasn't certain who he was. So he'll probably be in the documentary talking about all those things. I can't wait to hear his (and others') stories!

He features in the fabulous "My Adventure With Green Day" story from Absolutely Zippo that was reprinted in the Kerplunk booklet too
Insomniac1984 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 *people care more about the dog video than the frustrators being back or Billie and Eggplant And that's really sad.... I'm really excited about that Billie-Eggplant meeting, I wanna watch that "early days" documentary!! And it's really cool that The Frustrators are back!!
Annie, get your gun Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Brody's video is WAY TOO important to not talk about it He's wishing us all merry christmas in case you didn't realise Billie is so cute in that pic And all I know about Eggplant is that he was on My Adventure With Green Day

Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 thefrustrators: Sometimes the job Stanley does is difficult to describe... (I recall when I snapped this picture Mike said something like "I know I'm gonna regret this someday")http://instagram.com/p/h37MWBoq5a/ thefrustrators: Our bassist Mike http://instagram.com/p/h4eeGioq65/
Annie, get your gun Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I'm so glad about what Mike said about Green Day, so people can shut up already. I just wish he would have said it on a post so everybody knows... and everybody shut up already
JOE THE X-KID Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I don't even know why people were worrying about Green Day. Bands take breaks after tours, it's what they do. They can't constantly be on the road and recording. They have lives outside of music...
Insomniac1984 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 That's right, it's really disturbing the "paranoia" of some fans who don't get the meaning of "RECESS". All those fans have been thinking about GD's "split", when this (the recess thing) has happened several times. People, relax!!! Enjoy the GD catalogue, there are a vast amount of records and other stuff to listen to. Just wait and be patient, enjoy the other projects that will come (which Billie has mentioned). My two cents.
