Green Day Q&A Thread


Liam

Recommended Posts

Just listening to one of the Knowledge performances where the guys make people from the audience come up and play. I was wondering if Green Day were the first band/are the only band to do something like that?

So..who's Amanda Jones and why Billie wants to choke till she'e blue in the face?:lol:

Some people have a choking fetish, think that's why he wants to do it :lol:. In the original version of the song when they just played it live it didn't mention a name so I think that's all it was, a reference to doing something kinky. Amanda is a name used elsewhere on the albums to refer to an old girlfriend (or at least a character partly based on an old girlfriend) so I think they just added it to tie the song in to the story.

Nah he just said "Adrienne..." before "...it's fuck time" once. He didn't say it before the choking part :P. He did pretend to choke himself, Kevin Preston and a couple of fans with his microphone cord in a sexy manner during some of those shows though :lol:

I swear I've heard them tell that story like 5 different times. Can't think of one particular one though. Do you know anything else about the interview to identify it?

I'm looking for the interview which is mentioned here:

Story about human head in a jar must be more than interesting :lol:

I think one of the times he told that story was before Before the Lobotomy at MSG 2009, I don't remember which night though because they played there twice in a row

Hey, quick question for anyone who knows- is the adeline records' store, or the whole thing for that matter- in the process of shutting down? I've been noticing their inventory is getting very limited, and whenever something sells out, it's just gone for good. Not to mention, they have a statement that they are no longer accepting demos.

I must have heard somewhere that the shop was closing but I have no idea how about the record label. Looks like they're calling it quits.

Is it just me, or does Billie say "fuck" after the second failed lick in good riddance from nimrod?

Starting to wonder why we didn't sing this at my graduation.

Yes, he says fuck there. May actually be saying "four" but my ears always hear fuck.

Pretty sure it's 'fuck' - since he 'fucked up' a couple of times.  Makes a lot me sense to me than four at least.  Don't know what the general opinion is of that bit of the song is - for me it's a little touch but it's one of those things which adds a huge amount to the song.

When did the Q&A thread get unpinned? 

When there was a merge earlier today.  Fixed it.  Thanks, Tim.

I saw this on YouTube and the poster claims it's a new GD song. It sort of sounds like Billie, but not a lot. Does anyone know anything about this?
