DookieLukie Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 1. Green Day and blink-182 equal at 9? I'm inclined to disagree. 2. Everyone forgets Jason. He's an official member now! Considering Green Day has been a trio for 20 years and were a trio during their times of most popularity, it's not difficult to understand why no one knows Jason is a fourth member, especially since he joined during a period of obscurity for Green Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Mention of the band here: Fork in the road One-time East Bay punk crew commemorates 20 years Black Fork’s four speed-freaky contributions—which clock in at just under five minutes—were originally recorded with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong at Berkeley’s Catbox Studios when the four-piece was knee-deep in the legendary 924 Gilman Street scene that spawned bands like Blatz, Screw 32 and Operation Ivy. Between disintegrating tours, Black Fork recorded one more full-length with Armstrong, 1997’s Rock for Loot for Lookout! Records, before they checked out the following year. The band was snotty, smart and short-lived. And, listening today, still unsung. “I think some of those lyrics are more relevant today,” Josh says. “Health care sucks, and the country is still run by assholes.” Over the past few years the band—which also includes East Bay-based drummer Jim “Nastic” Anderson and bassist Cyrus “T Nails” Comiskey—has gotten together for a handful of one-off shows. Now they’re going for it—for five shows at least. The Indars just returned from a weekend of rehearsals in the Bay Area, where they also were interviewed for an upcoming documentary on Gilman (financed by Armstrong). Josh says the reason to do these shows is pretty simple. “We still love hanging out with those guys and playing. And I realize it’s still a really great punk band,” he says. “Plus, if we don’t get together and do it now, it may never happen.” http://www.newsreview.com/chico/fork-in-the-road/content?oid=13834032 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day - "Coming Clean" (1994) Though there appears to be a gay joke in the lyrics to Green Day's "Basketcase" ("I went to a whore, he said my life's a bore..."), there's actually some truth behind this line. Billie Joe Armstrong may never have actually visited a male prostitute, but he did struggle to come to terms with his bisexuality, something that he sings about in "Coming Clean" from Dookie. http://www.musictimes.com/articles/7031/20140627/8-great-lgbt-themed-alternative-songs-green-day-the-smiths-and-more.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorryRock02 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 http://www.guitarplayer.com/artists/1013/the-top-5-guitar-vandals-of-all-time/47808 The Top 5 Guitar Vandals of All Time #5 > Billie Joe Armstrong Just like Caleb Followill, Greenday main man Billie Joe Armstrong sort of became an accidental guitar vandal when he had his now infamous meltdown that led to the cancellation of a number of Greenday shows and a stay in rehab. Reportedly upset over having his band’s set cut short to make room for a longer set for Usher, Armstrong went on a tirade that was capped off by the singer smashing his beautiful double cutaway TV-Yellow Gibson Les Paul Junior to bits. It hurts to see such a beautiful instrument being destroyed, but we take solace in the fact that Armstrong was able to get the help he needed and has since resumed work with Greenday and taken the band around the world on a highly successful tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that line in Basket Case a "gay joke"? It's about the gender of the person not mattering, not a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebel-without-a-clue Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This actually sounds cool. Winston Smith, a legendary punk artist, will be there as a guest as well as others. It states Smith has worked with Green Day.

WorryRock02 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 this is interesting: Billie Joe who has led Green Day to world-wide fame with hits such as ‘American Idiot’ and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ was struck by the sound of the Grantham band and invited Matt and Josh out to California. Mattsaid: “I used to talk to Billie Joe about bands over the internet, and to have someone from Green Day listening to your music is incredible.” Still reeling from their trip across the pond, Josh added: “We were treated like rockstars.” As well as hanging out with the Green Day front-man, his son and drummer Joey Armstrong fromOaklandrockers Emily’s Army was also on hand during the recording sessions, and the teenagers are thrilled with the tracks they’ve created together. http://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/news/local/rockstar-treatment-for-grantham-band-at-californian-recording-studios-1-6147232 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be going next Sunday to check them out in Market Deeping. Says on their website that their gigs this summer will include a band from California. Any guesses as to who that might be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
