Did Billie tape a picture of himself on the back of his current Blue guitar? If not, what is the picture of?

Saw it in this video-

Yeah, it's him with Blue as a kid. Presumably the day he got it, but I'm not sure?

I love how it's a screen cap from VH1 behind the music. Billie doesn't have the original picture to copy and put on there? :P 

Would you expect anything else from a guy who wants us to believe one copy of an album got stolen so they had to scrap the whole thing?

That whole story is my favorite story like 

"someone at the studio stoled the masters"

so they scrap it start a new one while using the same studio (as I've seen it was reported they were recording at Ocean Way during the C&V sessions I don't know if that is for sure true) like why use the same place you got masters stolen lol

I don't think it was Ocean Way, it had to be 880. The former owner of 880 was interviewed in a Green Day book that I have and he says that the studio was pretty secure and he doesn't believe that the masters were stolen. The book is Green Day: Rebels With A Cause, you should check it out, there's a nice little story about how Green Day found 880

Ok yeah wasn't sure as I'd seen it as ocean way on a website but wasn't sure how factual it was

Is this an actual quote from BJ? If so when was this said? "Ladies, if someone touches you and you don't want them to, feel free to punch them in the fucking face."

I've seen that before and I really hope so

I think it was on stage to the crowd, was it maybe during that Dookie era show where he was wearing a clown suit? It's years since I watched it but I believe he and Mike had a go at someone for grabbing a woman at some point during that show, don't know if it was that quote though. Either way I could definitely see that being said by Billie at a show.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I thought it was due to trademark reasons.  'Novocain' is trademarked, and 'Novacaine' is a common way of referring to the generic drug.  Maybe they just wanted to dissociate further from the TM to avoid any legal repercussions, hence switching an A for an O, which doesn't affect the pronunciation in the song at all.  I always thought they did the same thing for 'Armatage Shanks', since the toilet company owns the rights to 'Armitage Shanks'.  Too much of a coincidence for me that they've misspelled just trademarks in the song titles and nothing else.

I never thought of that but makes total sense! I know NOFX had to change "Valium" to "Valuum" in an album title because of trademarking. With Armatage Shanks I'd assumed he'd just remembered it wrong having only seen it while over here, but when there's two instances of it (and no other instances with non trademark related titles) your trademark theory seems very likely :sherlock:

Does anyone know if I can find just the vocals, or acapella versions, of Green Day's stuff before American Idiot?

Everything that was on Rock Band is available as isolated multitracks online. I think it might have even been on here at some point, not sure if it is now though?

They were taken down because of copyright claims, but I'm sure if you dig around you can find them, I'm pretty sure there are some on youtube.

I don't know if Billie ever said they had to scrap the whole thing. I'd taken his comment to mean that the master copy (not the only copy) of C&V got stolen and that they had possibly already written "Homecoming" (Mike, Billie and Tre's mini-songs put together) and "American Idiot", so they decided to start from scrap with those songs and a new concept for the album moving forward.

I have the Phoenix 1994 (Clown Suit show) saved on my harddrive. The crowd incident happened during "F.O.D.", I -re-watched it but didn't hear said quote. It might be from a different show though.

Thanks for checking! Must've been another show then. I feel like it isn't made up, sounds exactly like something he'd say. If anyone does know the show where he said it I'd like to know too.

More of a Pinhead quiestion. How do I pronounce Aaron Cometbus? "Come-to-bus"?
Is he really Jewish as he states in West Side Highway?

He said he's Jewish on multiple occasions  (e.g. mentions it in the Green Day zine). I see no reason why he should be lying about it. 

Not sure how to pronounce his name though :P
