Mike Dirnt talks to Eric Blair about Billie/Norah project (video)

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

Not sure if this is worthy of a topic or not...mods can decide.

Anyway Mike on the red carpet at Bass Player Live event gave his opinion on Foreverly/the Norah and Billie project...short but to the point I guess...

I hope the link works I am on my phone with no clue how to imbed it with this device...

[Hermione]

Short and sweet but no harm in having a thread for it!

It's really nice to see him comment on it, and what he says about it is true

[Overjoyyed]

I agree I would not have listened to this type of music if Billie did not sing it. In the past few years I have researched/ listened to Green Day's influences and it really is a "fun educational experience"- lol this makes me laugh as I am in the education field.

Ice to have your bandmates have your back Mike is great

[LazyPhil]

Not sure whether Mike was annoyed or in a hurry...

[alienlifeform]

he says: "I think is a great gay way for people to figure out where rock and roll comes from"

is that it?

[yuan]

he says: "I think is a great gay way for people to figure out where rock and roll comes from"

is that it?

I thought it's "gateway"?

but i wouldn't say you're wrong, team bike

Yes that what he said.

[alienlifeform]

I thought it's "gateway"?

that makes way more sense

thanks

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

Mike talks too quickly...I've always believed he needs subtitles...just permanently beneath him

[Flyingdonutz]

If this were Tre, I might believe he said "gay way". But since its Mike he must have said gateway.

[Alex R.]

Did he say "gay way" or "gateway" ?

Please make it clear to me, I'm confused.

[MaraGreenDay]

Omg why the hell he said "gay way"?

Cause that's how it sounds to me!

[JIGD13]

Nice I always like to hear Mike's voice, I think it's gay way.

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

It sounds like "gay way" haha I swear I have no idea but that is funnier so what the heck...it really sounds like it though!! Mike's bad pronounciation strikes again

[Oxymore]

He seems so overjoyed.

[Tubbie Head]

I thought I heard "great way".

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

This is hillarious...we have a ten second video and still no real idea what Mike is really trying to tell us...well done Mike you should consider politics

[Karol Oliveira]

I thought I heard "great way".

I heard the same thing.

[sara_gd]

I thought I heard "great way".

I heard the same thing.

There's something in between "great" and "way".

[Hermione]

Lol at this thread

It's "great gateway" people . He just dropped the "t" in "gate" a bit.

[Annie, get your gun]

Lovely! Mike is always such a sweetie

But I can't help to think that it was kind of wrong to ask him about that; it was a bassists event, and Mike Dirnt is Green Day's bassist, go ask something about HIM, not his friend's new project!

[spark in the night]

Good answer Mike.

I kinda get annoyed when someone asks Mike or Tre about something about Billie. How about "Hey Mike how are you enjoying the event?" Or something related to what's going on. They do that with sports too I've noticed. They will ask a random player on the team a question about the star player. Wtf. Ask them yourself

[Westside Highway]

that video was all too brief
