BillieJoeObsesser Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 This has to one of the best interviews I've seen! It reminded me of the Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show! Can't wait to see more videos of the Jeff Matika Show!
Strayheart1219 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Everything about that interview was amazing and was the best thing ever! I missed him
Overjoyyed Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I just love hearing Billies voice. It's so nice even when he is just talking.
watchmefade92 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Idiot Nation is kind of an "elite" thing and I don't like that. It sucks that you're a "better" fan if you pay something. To conclude here's a quote from a song by a band called Green Day: "I'm not part of your elite, I'm just alright" And there's always a way to get this exclusive stuff anyways.

To conclude here's a quote from a song by a band called Green Day: "I'm not part of your elite, I'm just alright" And there's always a way to get this exclusive stuff anyways. I really don't think people consider themselves "better" fans for being a member. I do think people don't want to share exclusive content, first because it's not right, but also because hey, if I'm going to spend $20 to see some photos and videos, then inherent in that means I want people who haven't spent $20 to NOT be able to see those photos and videos. It can feel selfish but then just think of it like you're buying a service, and people who haven't purchased that service have no reason to receive it. I'm not better than anyone, but I did pay for something so I expect to get it and I don't necessarily want people who didn't pay for it to get the same thing, ya feel? (This is the most capitalist post I've ever made). That being said, whenever Idiot Club stuff gets leaked, I don't lose sleep about the money I've wasted. If you're not a member and you find a way to see shit, good for you. I'll go back to pretending my membership was worthwhile (I got it automatically with the box set, but I am contemplating renewing it... something I never would have said a few months ago when the site was utter shit, but it does seem to be on the upswing even though they choose the absolute worst questions.)

JDookie Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 https://twitter.com/jeffmatika/status/354523660008173569 Following Jeff Matika@jeffmatika Thanks for all the support and kind words about The Jeff Matika Show. We had so much fun making it. Episode 2 (more BJA) coming soon. #tjms Visualizza traduzione I hope soon means very soon
Seanz25 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Sounds good unfortunately don't have the cash for a membership will have to wait and hope it gets leaked.

To conclude here's a quote from a song by a band called Green Day: "I'm not part of your elite, I'm just alright" And there's always a way to get this exclusive stuff anyways. You know Green Day's fan club has existed since before that song was even written though right? The Idiot Club started in 1994 and you've always had to pay to join. I've literally never seen anyone describe themselves as "better" or "elite" for joining it, it's just paying to get some extra Green Day stuff and nothing more. Same as you can choose to pay for a CD or merchandise or to go to a show, if you think what Idiot Nation is offering is worth $20 you can choose to pay for it, and if not you can not. Doesn't make anyone a better fan.

Some people choose to spend 15$ on a Green Day album, some other people decide to torrent the entire Green Day discography, some other people decide to buy 10 different versions of the same Green Day album. and they're all Green Day fans. No better, no worse than one another. They simply decide to support their favorite band (and to spend their own money) in their own way.
Heather. Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 It took me waaaay too long to figure out what #tjms stood for
tubbyfox Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I'm a member, I pay the fee and the goddam bloody video won't play. I am not impressed and I am NOT HAPPY!!!! Somebody help me - pleeeeease!!!

Somebody help me - pleeeeease!!! is that happening only on IN or on youtube too? on that page; http://www.gdidiotnation.com/video/billie-joe-jeff-matika-show-episode-1-55531 do you see a image or it's just black?

Doesn't make anyone a better fan. Of course I know that and I would have thought the same in '94. It's not about "everything was better in the past", it's just my opinion. I have no problems with IC/IN-members, I just don't want to be part of this "club".
tubbyfox Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 is that happening only on IN or on youtube too? on that page; http://www.gdidiotnation.com/video/billie-joe-jeff-matika-show-episode-1-55531 do you see a image or it's just black? Just on IN - so frustrating. It comes up with the image and the play button on it, but it just won't play. It's not just that one either. When the Tre Cool Q&As came out I could play it, but now I can't play any videos on there. I can play other Youtube videos. Just tried it on somebody else's (better) computer and it worked, so I managed to see it (calming down now). Still a bit perplexed though and annoyed that I can't wath it on my own computer. Grrrr.

TheJedi Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I liked this video alot, it was really fun. i don't understand why so many people are complaining ^_^ I like seeing them just having fun
Hermione Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 You'd have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy this Of course I know that and I would have thought the same in '94. It's not about "everything was better in the past", it's just my opinion. I have no problems with IC/IN-members, I just don't want to be part of this "club". And that's fine. I don't even think of it as being in a club though haha, I only renew my membership when I want to buy presale tickets. No different to buying a Green Day CD or t shirt to me, they sell a package of Green Day stuff and I buy it if I think it's worth the price.
~ Walking Contradiction Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 OMG the staring contest I wonder where and when they recorded the interview
elisa Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 OMG the staring contest I wonder where and when they recorded the interview at the end of the video it says it was recorded in Copenhagen, if i'm not mistaken
~ Walking Contradiction Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 at the end of the video it says it was recorded in Copenhagen, if i'm not mistaken Oh I haven't even noticed it, I think I closed the video after the last question thanks!
elisa Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Oh I haven't even noticed it, I think I closed the video after the last question thanks! noo go back and watch it till the end, they included some 'bloopers' during the credits
~ Walking Contradiction Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 noo go back and watch it till the end, they included some 'bloopers' during the credits Done Jeff Matika @jeffmatika 1m I'm sure we'll continue to share outtakes. “@Pretzone: Will we ever get to see the parts that were edited out?
