FallingFromTheStars Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Is Haushinka a real person? If so, what are the details? 6 hours ago, Montclare said: Does anyone know why the fan club is called Idiot Nation? Originally I thought it was because of American Idiot until I saw a video from the Nimrod or Warning era when it was the Idiot Club. Why Idiot? Damn, this is the first I've ever heard of this. I thought it was because of American Idiot too. Suddenly I like the name a lot less.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I want to be called that. I think it was just a Green Day kind of thing to call it an "Idiot Club", fit well for a band with an album called Dookie out and a frontman who would wear a shirt with "stupid" and an arrow pointing to his face on it. Self deprecating humour. I believe it was just called the Green Day Fanclub for quite a few years after that though - then they brought back the Idiot Club name when it was relaunched with American Idiot. So it is kind of partly named after American Idiot. Then a few years ago they "relaunched" it again renaming it Idiot Nation. As far as I can see the only reason for this was so they could pretend it was something new and get more people to part with their money by signing up, since it's just exactly the same as Idiot Club was with the same low amount of good stuff offered. Shame because Idiot Club was quite a cool and amusing name but Idiot Nation is just a lame "we're our own nation of Green Day fans guys!" thing and a marketing ploy 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does anyone know where was this taken or if it's even legit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know it's legit because I can faintly remember it from when it happened. Don't know exactly where it's from but I think it was while Obama was campaigning to become president in 2008. Edit: Forget that, found an old GDA post that mentions it. It was at an Obama fundraiser in 2007: http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/1522/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been infatuated with that song lately Billie played it a few times acoustic in 2009, and they played it with the rest of Dookie in 2013. Other than those instances, it's never been played live.

Does anyone know how to get them? I assume that you can't buy them (or?).. Do you need to have some kind of connection to organisers of concert or what? I also think that they didn't have this on every show(sorry if it's wrong thread) I would say you definitely have to know someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Does anyone know if the SNL musical guests are set for the season yet? I feel like with their tour and the very political tone of the show right now GD is just a perfect fit. And now that he's also an "actor" Billie should be in a skit. I'm sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, can't find it at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifted from GSB so this might be bullshit, but make of it what you will: Quote There’s a legend that this song is about a girl Armstrong met in Japan. However, this rumor is not confirmed. It’s possible, that the song is not just about this one girl or anyone in particular, but about parting with people before you get a chance to tell them how you feel about them. And for the rest of your life you can only wonder what ever happened to them and whether they remember you and know about how you feel.
