Green Day Q&A Thread

Not sure where to put this, because it seems more like a random thought than anything. I was reading some older news on the Bon Scott biopic earlier, and it got me thinking. If a biopic of GD were ever to be made, whom would you want each band member to be played by? And what events would you want the film to cover?

Can footballers be actors? If yes then Miroslav Klose plays Mike.

Any footage or audio of Favourite Son done live?

I don't think they have ever played that at a concert, but does the musical count?

I wish they would do it live, that - and all the AI B-sides - are fucking brilliant.

This is why Bang Bang needs a physical release, that means more B-sides and another single or two will give us enough for a Shenanigans Vol. 2.

Since I don't have the energy to read through 40+ pages of this thread

The new information about the Spanish tweets and shit are throwing me off so I need someone to clarify

Is bang bang just premiering on the radio stations August 11th or is it being released on iTunes etc

.....ok this is apparently not the bang bang thread but close enough

There was soundcheck audio, but it was lost over time. If you go to the show's orignal 2009 thread and PM some people that had it, maybe since all the older members are coming back now, you could have some luck and find someone that still has it :P Here's the download thread where you can find the other part of the soundcheck and there should be a link to the original thread in there

When was the last time Billie sang the whole of Longview without getting the crowd to sing a certain part of it?

He sang it all the way through in Brixton, Reading and Leeds in 2013 when they played Dookie in full:

 

 

 

 

I think the last time without playing Dookie in full was Costa Rica (not 100% sure about that, may be wrong)

He doesn't sing it all the way through in any of those video's as he gets the crowd to sing ''When masturbation's lost its fun, You're fucking lonely''. I've never heard him sing this bit or not prompting the fans to sing this bit.

I found these two from 1993

 

 

 

... and this one from 1995. This might have been the last time he ever sang every verse without letting the crowd sing a part by themselves, since the song is such a hit everybody knows the lyrics to by now :)

She probably assumed (as I did) you were asking when he last didn't bring a crowd member up on stage to sing a whole verse/the whole song. Didn't realise he always got the crowd to sing that line, hard to notice when he gets the crowd to sing a word or line or two of almost every song they play. Found an example of him singing it during the American Idiot tour in 2005 so maybe then since during the 21st CB tour he was bringing people on stage to sing the whole song and seems to have been getting the crowd to sing that line since then:

Unless there was a random time on the 21st CB or trilogy tours where he decided to sing it that I'm not aware of.

Thanks. I'd never seen him sing this bit live until I saw your videos. Perhaps he prompts fans to sing this bit during live shows so his kids don't hear him sing it :D
