ok this is like months later BUT yes, it is true. I heard he tried to attempt it when people requested it, but he didn't know the words, so I printed out the lyrics for him so he wouldn't have any excuses. at the sound check in las vegas on august 21, 2009, i held up the lyrics and he said "what's that?" and I said "it's the lyrics to misery, since you seem to always forget them" and he laughed but continued on with the sound check. at the end of the sound check, he comes over to me and says "let me see those lyrics", takes them back to his spot and has the whole band playing it. it was amazing. he totally messed everything up when he got to the bridge, though, so he stopped the band and gave me the lyrics back. a year later, I brought the lyrics to one of the "american idiot talkbacks" that Billie did after a few of the american idiot on broadway shows. after completely making fun of me and my tie dyed shirt in front of everyone, he later apologized to me and I gave him the misery lyrics to sign and he was like "oh, I remember this! you're the girl that made us play this!" and he autographed them for me. one of these days i'll get it framed, but I still haven't gotten around to it. the end.

This pretty much sums up the entire trilogy, tbh.

I love when those moments where you see Green Day randomly on tv or in a movie and you're just like "Fuck yeah that's my fucking band!!"

I'm not arguing anything about his drug use, it's something they've clearly talked about in the past. No doubt they used speed - they've talked about it before. I was just clarifying that the gory teeth pulling part of Geek Stink Breath wasn't Billie Joe's - it was a friend who was getting their teeth pulled. You were a bit too quick to jump to "That likely is why he lost a few teeth hence the video!!" That's how unconfirmed info starts getting spread around - so just clarifying for others reading. Though yes, anyone who doesn't think they did meth only has to read the lyrics to Geek Stink Breath http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/song/54/ And if that wasn't direct enough, from Rolling Stone interview after rehab http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-rolling-stone-interview-billie-joe-armstrong-20130314#ixzz3bm78Fzgo "There was a lot of nihilism going around. Dropout kids, people that felt like outcasts — they were coming into this scene. Things like scarification, bad tat­toos, drinking booze, snorting methamphetamine — nobody thought of it as addict behav­ior. We knew everybody that was doing that. And we were doing it as well. We'd be at a party at someone's house where bands were playing. Someone would have speed, and we'd do it. Then I would start writing songs when I got home. It wasn't a necessity. The song was already there. The courage was what I needed. The fear was always there, even when we were doing American Idiot."

You should look up the word "conjecture". You do it a lot.

Heard Jaded on the radio and Stray Heart at Guitar Center.

...what?

I was watching a movie and noticed this in the background.

That is what kills it for me. You have upbeat, angry verses and then it goes inot super poppish, repetitive chorus. It just doesn't fit.
