Green Day Q&A Thread


Liam

Recommended Posts

Yeah from what I've heard Billie say in a few interviews they met on the tour in 1990 but then just kept in touch by phone and had kind of an on/off long distance thing but it didn't last long and they were both seeing other people. They only really got together properly when he decided to call her in 1994 and make a go of it, and she came to California and they ended up getting married a few weeks later. 

Easy to know about Adrienne because Billie's talked about how they got together a lot, he hasn't discussed other girlfriends at length so I don't think you can really pin down the whole story of his relationships accurately :P

Yeah you also have to bear in mind that Billie tells 50 different stories about everything including the meaning of songs and you have to expect he'll never want to make himself look bad or like he was an asshole to any girlfriend by cheating etc.

This thread is gossip central lol. Pretty sure no one knows every intricate detail of Billie and Adrienne's relationships and we don't really need to speculate about it.

How and why do you people know about Billie's relationships so much in-depth? ._.

Hahaha I wouldn't call that 'in-depth' :D He talked about it occasionally and if you read "Nobody Likes You" you'll know just as much as I do

@T@l Also if you're interested, they talk a bit about their love lives including Erica in this interview :lol: and it's not very, uh... nice :D

Anyone knows who Zeke was? As you probably know, Billie had tattoo on his chest with this name (at least I think it's a name :lol:), but he covered it up with car tattoo.

I've seen theories about what the tattoo was for. One theory is that he got it for the band Zeke. There actually is a hardcore punk band from Seattle called Zeke but by the time Billie had actually covered the tattoo the band had only had one single!! I seriously doubt Billie, who loves about a million bands both mainstream and underground would randomly tattoo the name of one who has done practically nothing. Also I'm fairly positive he had the tattoo before the band formed so there's that :lol:

Zeke could be anyone. Basically nobody knows. Anything said here is just wild speculation to be honest. ;)

I know Billie has guitars called Blue, Les and Buddy, but does Mike have names for his guitars?

good question .. im sure his bass guitars have some nicknames too, many musicians tend to give their instruments nicknames :D

**

I have a question too
in july 2012 i ordered the "ultimate bundle set" for the trilogy, it contained a 1-year-membership code for the Idiot club / nation ..  at the 21CB tour era they offered early entry, that was my main focus why I wanted to use this code .. so I kept it for a possible upcoming trilogy tour (that never really happend, we know the story...)
now I tried to figure out if they will do this exclusive early-entry thing for the RevRad tour again, but no words about it, just that you will be able to buy some pre-sale tickets before public...
if this turns out to be true, the IC / IN code would be useless again for me, I'm only interested in this early entry thing :D maybe you guys know a bit more about this ??

the code for IC for the trilogy has long been expired (if the footnote in the pre order is to be believed)

i renewed my membership on the 11th when i pre ordered rev rad. so is my membership until august 11th next year or until the day I actually use the code? Like, if I use it tomorrow, it would be 2nd September 2017?

I have no idea I didn't get the IC with the RevRad with the BS I experienced last time I had no desire to open another account or renew my username but i still have my trilogy pre order email and in small print said the code would expire a year from the date of the order so id assume they still the same rules for the revrad pre order as well however the code may still be valid and just saying that they expire in small print just to protect themselves

I'm so confused. Is Billie related to Tim Armstrong or not?

"Due to their same last names, Armstrong is at times assumed to be the brother of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong whom he once invited to join his band. Though the two are friends, they are not related." [http://www.laweekly.com/2009-04-23/la-vida/punkissance-man/]

Apologies in advance if this was asked already

No... all ya have to do is pay stadium or arena seats for a lot less than $640....I'm talking $100 bucks here.  Then  talk to a bunch of people in your section , use neurolinguistic programming (for example, if i say 'don't think of a black bear' ,  you think of a black bear because the command in that sentence is 'think of a black bear').  I would use my skills  and have them all rush down to the pit.   While the shenanigans are going on, ya just mosey on to the pit.   Make ur way up front and have a freemasons shirt on.  You'll be ushered up to the front.

I was thinking about this when they first announced the album.

My friend recently saw Coldplay, and paid $250 for nosebleeds. NOSEBLEEDS!
I don't know what I'd do if it was like that for Green Day. I think maybe I'd pay $65 tops for a GA ticket because I've paid that for festivals so I could see a single band front row.
Its hard for me to believe that musicians like Ariana Grande charge $500+ to stand against the front barricade and people just accept it. If a Green Day show tries to pull something like that I'd be pretty content with watching it on youtube. I've done it for 11 years I can do it for the rest of my life.

If Green Day decided to have VIP and charged demented prices for the pit I'd be sufficiently disgusted not to attend their gigs. I've paid VIP for other bands but Green Day always prided themselves on their roots and their relationship with the fans not to mention calling themselves "punk" so it would be disgusting to rip off the fans so blatantly. The other bands I paid VIP for simply aren't nice people. I enjoy their music but have zero respect for them as humans and recognise that they are 80% doing what they do for the money, 10% for the fame and 10% for the actual music and that's not how I ever wish to see Green Day.

Oh I agree - I was pissed to pay $180 when they headlined soundwave.

I wouldn't pay that much to see Green Day unless it came with free guitar lessons and Billie sat on my lap afterwards.  And then only maybe
