Can I have: Someone help him up / or he's gonna end up quitting It's the one I wanted!

it's January 17th, 2012 ...and Kerplunk turns t-w-e-n-t-y we made a video for that, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGXateWzbYA thanks to everyone who made that possible, green day fans are fucking great. ------------------------------------------ last September we made a video for the 7th anniversary of American Idiot. we had so much fun and we were so happy when it was posted on GDA , that we thought “how about making another one for kerplunk’s 20th anniversary? ” … so here we go!

Let's just hope it wasn't the one that Anna (Disappearingirl) has taken

Hi all, i dont come here often, but i have been reading this post of it all going on, i have not ever been involved in anyway with this Green Day across the world, but i do have many friends who did get involved, and know people involved, alot of my fb friends have also commented on this thread, i have made many many very good trustworthy online friends, & i just wanna say good luck to who is involved, i hope this does get resolved, and people get thier items and monies back,.. Trust is a huge issue with online financial things, i never usually get involved when it comes to money, as at the end of the day, do you really know anyone?.. This has proved just how careful we do need to be with online financial things, just always be Cautious, even with Reputable companies things happen, so it isnt just who to trust but what, in any online financial case. Again, Good Luck to everyone involved, This is very Sad, and an awful thing to have to mis trust a friend.

:killme: Thanks for your support girls

It took all my power

Yeah I know...if only I knew how to play the guitar ( and I had a guitar ) I would have loved to take an instrumental part!!

Oh glad that you picked the lyric for her as well can't wait to see your video, you two togheter are able to do amazing things!!

WestboundSign! and me are taking "There's no motivation but frustration makes him crazy."

..the only reason just his smile... :rolleyes:

In 21st Century Breakdown. "Condomnation is what I understood."

Just putting in my two cents. I wish I was a skilled writer so I could throw out some inspirational knowledge like many have done so before me to raise hopes in our community. I too have been impressed by the coming together of the members on this site to stick together and try to find answers. Whether or not accusations were the best way to discover them, I do not know, but I don't think that really matters at this point. I just think it's interesting to see how even one member of the community can make such a huge impact on everyone else here. It shows how much people really care about others on here and how much the mods really watch over everything. Many on here were hurt, and that truly sucks, but it's kind of awesome to see how if even just a few people were hurt, many come to their aid to try and remedy the situation. That's something I truly love and adore about this site and the members on here. Trust was lost, but something else was discovered.. or at least that's what I noticed while following this thread for the past week. Trust was found in others, such as other members, our mods, etc. Also, a lot of light was shed on the subject of GDATW. It was a good idea, and I was so impressed by so many people wanting to participate and by those who actually did participate. I agree with the statements above mine. This was a great thought, but was not put together in the best way. One person trying to handle everything was overwhelming. Also, just as was said, if we wanted to do something for the environment, it should be either on our own time because we want to contribute on our own accord, or it should be a very well thought out, and well planned event. Green Day fans are constantly showing the band how much we care and I know it makes them happy to hear how much they inspire us. I think the only thing that got really out of hand were the prizes and the ebay/amazon sales. A lot of gossip was found in this thread and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I don't understand what people are more upset about: the ebay/amazon sales, or the fact that Dawn lied? Either way, it's all upsetting, but I don't think that any of it was devastating. Just hurtful. No one likes being lied to, especially by anyone who we put a lot of trust into. I like how this is a community that doesn't take lies lightly because this is supposed to be a place where we can all truly be ourselves and lies about who we are do not need to exist.

Billie looks tall

Im so fucking excited for this I think my eyes are going to bleed. lol, see what i did there? but seriously. This is gonna turn out AWE-SOME. excuse my spontaneous combustion...

No, of course not Yes, I'm sure . Definitywnie, ostatecznie i z całą pewnością.

YAY! thanks

Are you sure? definitywnie i ostatecznie? So now I want to have "There's no motivation and frustration / makes him crazy" in last chorus

You just need to check if it's already taken on the first post to know if you can take those: the parts that are already taken have a strike through and a name on their side. Those three you requested are free, though! When maridiot is free, I think she's gonna mark those as taken from you

Yea I'd be glad to help out But I think there won't be any kind of problem, since they'll just need to scroll up and see if someone else has already taken the bits that they want to take

Oh my god, I'm cracking up! :rofl:

It's also Billie's favourite song from Kerplunk, I think that's one of the reasons why she chose that

Poor Anna.

Sure. It's indeed stretching the page quite a bit, haha.

Yay! I can't wait for the video Mary

yeah :good:

"I shuffle through my mind", it is then!

Ooh don't make me feel guilty I wanted to start some months ago...but now I have to wait next summer, when I'll have enough money to buy my first guitar I hope I'll be good at playing it for the next anniversary video

This will get very intersting

I want to do this

Wouldn't it be nice if they announced their new album at the 2012 Grammys like they did in 2009? That would seem a plausible next step, time-wise... GAH! Would they want to do that the same way twice? Personally, I don't give a shit HOW they announce it... but maybe they want to mix it up and just go running through the streets of major US cities shouting the album name. (Was thinking, put each member in a different city, and at a designated time, each of them just streaks naked, running through Manhattan and LA shouting CARPET DIET! CARPET DIET!) You know, it's not a bad publicity idea, actually.

It is awesome You should totally do it!!

Little Tré

Write "Carpet Diet" on pieces of paper, take them to the next secret Green Day gigs (if there will be more) and make sure everyone near the stage holds them up. It worked before..

K, this may be more appropriate to a new thread about stuff we decide to do together, but I have some thoughts about it now, so here goes. Any endeavor should start with principles - like, why are you doing this? As regards 'showing appreciation' to Green Day, I think that comes naturally with buying their records and coming together at their shows to celebrate with them. It comes with giving Billie Joe a 'hey-oh', for however millionth time he asks for it - it comes from just giving of ourselves in that moment, together. We can do other stuff that reinforces us as a community - giving advice and comfort when it's asked for, talking to each other, sharing our love of the music, contributing to this forum. As regards stuff like the environment, I think do it because you believe in it, not because it's something Green Day's involved with. I think, don't trade on their name, do it for its own sake and ask anyone who's like-minded to come with you if that's what they want to do. Be true. Don't offer prizes or accolades, because doing what you believe in doesn't require any of that. Be pure. Green Day's fucking great, but they're not - nor do I think they would ever want to be - some kind of altar at which to bring our offerings. That notion disrespects both us and them. Let us inspire each other and support each other, have fun together, and most of all, fucking rock out together.

I think it's both. It's "the subliminal mind-fuck: America", as in America can be a confusing, contradictory, mixed up mind-fuck. But I think it's also deliberately putting the phrase " fuck America" out there (as in "fuck the aspects of America I'm singing about in this song"). This is particularly noticeable when you watch them playing it live, Billie often shouts out the "fuck America" part extra loud and clear to make it separate. The fact that it says "the subliminal mind" just before it makes it even better, since it's kind of like you're hearing the phrase fuck America subliminally with it hidden within "The subliminal mind-fuck: America". So yeah, I reckon it's a double meaning.
