A shame, it's a solid punk song.

Does anyone have this available video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDtAzG9J_Ns 

This is what I see when I click your link:

 

"Green Day - She (Msg.Nyc)..." The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.

Sorry about that.

 

I'm sorry too.

I don't remember if this was an actual thing.
Does anyone know which interview Beej was talking about watching the news report of Kurt Cobain's death on the TV as they were filming Longview?

Longview and the rest of Dookie came out before he died.

Well that settles it enough then. I'm not a Nirvana fan so I don't know dates and stuff. 
I still wonder why I have that idea in my head though.

Edit: Wait no, I'm right. Or at least I didn't make up hearing it.

"The video takes place in a dimly-lit basement unit of a house in Berkeley, California that the band used to live in. The band members say that the look was intentionally grungy. In the video, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong is shown sitting on a couch watching television, before going insane and tearing up the couch later in the video. A few moments before filming started, the news of Kurt Cobain's death broke and Armstrong learned of it while sitting there watching TV"

that cant be right. Kurt died in april of 1994. Dookie was released in February of 94 and the Longview video was released before that.

Yeah they got it wrong, must've got made up based on the whole death of grunge/resurgence of pop punk in its place thing.

That's nonsense. Longview music video was filmed on January 8th and 9th, 1994. Cobain died on April 7th, 1994. Although I do remember Billie saying that he learned about his death when Green Day were driving home from the last show of their first tour in support of Dookie (and that would have happened on April 6th/7th, 1994, seems legit).

Then that would be during the filming of Basket Case which took place in April, but still sometime after April 8th.

I can't seem to find the answer to this:

When Billie was singing ''a fire burns today'' from East Jesus Nowhere and he lifts the guitar over his head and accidentally knocks the microphone off the stand- when and where was this performance?

About a year ago, I saw the film Zoolander and became a big fan of it. On the imdb page for Zoolander (link below), it says Tre said a line from the film in Bullet In a Bible. I was wondering if anybody knows what line Tre recited and what part of Bullet In a Bible this was in-

I've only actually watched the Bullet In a Bible DVD in it's entirety once. I had a burned copy of the CD for years but wasn't able to buy an official copy with the DVD until last year.

Is there an uncensored video version of Jaded in Chicago? I'm sure there's uncensored audio and bootlegs, but the actual taping of it seems to be always censored from when it aired on TV
