Is their performance at The Bridge School the only time that they have done an acoustic set?

No, with a full band they've done another one for a radio show during the warning tour and some others only with BJ and his accoustic guitar

What exactly does "chop me a line of my friend's ashes" mean in the Trilogy song it's from? (DRB, I guess.) I have just randomly remembered the line and realized that I can't figure out what is it to 'chop a line'.

It's a reference to drugs. Like when someone does cocaine or some other drug you snort they put it on a table and chop it and make it into a line so they can snort it.  I've never done drugs by the way but I've been at parties and seen people doing it thats how I know.

Thank you both :)

There was a story that Keith Richards snorted his dad's ashes - it was total bs but I always though BJ got the idea from that - I am know I am very wrong though☺️

A question about East Jesus Nowhere:

What does he mean by ''all the dogs who never learned to read''?!

I think it goes hand in hand with the line before.

Another random question: whatever happened to Speedy- the fish Billie was filmed buying for Joey during the Pop Disaster tour?

I would guess he probably died. Betta fish don't live that long, only 2-4 years. Maybe 5 years if your lucky. My Betta Buddy lived 4 years but looked pretty bad at the end.

Yeah, and there was never any follow up on him after he was filmed being bought. I like how 7 year old Joey demonstrates throughout the video that he's far more knowledgeable and competent on the subject of fish ownership than Billie :P

I know Billie has a couple of dogs, but do Mike and Tre have any pets?

And I love how Joey asks Billie where they will bury the fish when it dies- they'd only just bought the fish!

Mike and Tre have a couple of dogs each. Tre has 3 and I can't remember how many Mike has but I think it's 2 or 3 also.

Did Tre really lose a testicle in a unicycle accident or was he just joking? With Tre, I wouldn't say something like that couldn't happen :lol:

I used to doubt it because even though it's a plausible story (riding off a school stage on a unicycle and landing on it badly) they only ever talked about it in a fun/jokey context, and who knows if they were laughing just because it was a funny story, or because it was a joke they made up due to Tre having a high voice, or if the accident really happened but the lost testicle part was an exaggeration.

But it's been mentioned in a lot of interviews, over a long period of time (I know of him mentioning it at least as early as 1997 and late as 2011, might also have before and after that but idk), and the story has always stayed totally consistent. And I've never seen them act "nudge nudge wink wink" about it as if they're hinting that it might not be true (like they have, for example, with the stolen Cigarettes and Valentines story). All these things make me think it's more likely to be true than not. That or they're very committed to not giving the joke away :lol: 

I don't know if anyone has an example of them telling the story in a particularly believable way? I guess that's the only way to judge it really.

Pics or it didn't happen. 

...I'd really rather not see pictures proving or disproving Tré's testicle count.

Maybe enduring it would put an end to these discussions. That could be worth it. :P

It must be made up. They have history of making things up.

Not been on here in ages but saw this photo the other day and wondered if anyone knew where it was from or what was going on! Looks like Billie is on a stretcher at a show during the 2009 21CB European leg?

He was blonde when we saw them in Glasgow in October 2009.  I was surprised when I saw footage from Germany that he had gone blonde and was disappointed at first but when I saw him in real life, I couldn't believe how gorgeous he was - sorry fan girling on wrong thread! He was back to black the following June.
