From what I've gathered from other fans, Billie Joe is kind of small. But how small are we talking?

5'7", maybe 5'8" with his creepers on.

The general consensus appears to be about 5’7”

Okay, so that's about 170cm...that's pretty small.

Billie said he was 5'7" in an interview back in 1998, it was the interview where they introduced the redundant video a few hours before they did the Live at the 10 spot concert

Yeah 5'7 seems to be accurate, but he looks smaller because he's petite in general and has particularly short legs :P

He also said he was "about 5'8" in 2010 but that's because he's a fibber :P

My friend finds it weird that everyone jokes about Billie's height when Tre is shorter.

 

Do we know Tre's exact height?

According to the internet, Tre is 5'5'', but if Billie is 5'7'', then Tre must be a little bit taller than 5'5'', so I'd say he's nearer to 5'6''.

Can anyone help me find this interview? It's cited on Nimrod's wikipedia page. I tried googling it but couldn't find it
McLennan, Scott (November 9, 1997). "Green Day keeps progressing with 'Nimrod'". Telegram & Gazette. The New York Times Company.

Does anyone know of any performances of When I Come Around similar to Jaded in Chicago where Billie plays a longer guitar intro without the full band ? :)

I really like that better than the original version haha

Does anyone know of any decent quality videos of 21 guns live that MATCH the recording on Awesome as F**k? I love the way Billie sings the song in that live version the best but haven't had any luck finding video of it. I think only the Japan version was on the DVD and he let's the crowd sing the words "21 guns" too much in that one. Thanks!

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.

i believe he said that in 2016 cause the whole donald trump "grab her by the pussy" thing that was all over the news

Some of us with OCD count the number of songs, haha.   I don't mind the extended bits (Minority, King for a Day) but more songs would be nice too.   

Green Day has that wonderful problem of having too many great songs.   Personally, I want to hear every song EXCEPT Haushinka and Prosthetic Head.  Because screw those songs.   Well, time for me to head back over to the "ideal set list" thread and get to work.  

    

one thing with haushinka that confused me was on the dookie demos it had a part that sounded like walking contradiction but on nimrod it sounds different

their was a video of it on youtube on a channel that's probably taken down but you can look its called GDrips it had alot of stuff on it that was ripped directly from their cd so its all probably taken down cuz copyright but its made multiple youtube channels.

Hmm, I'm not finding the channel. Do you have a link? Thanks for your help. This wouldn't be an official video though I don't think. I think this version was just on the CD part and I'm looking for fan video of it (unless I'm wrong and there is pro-shot).

This is the closest I've seen that's decent quality

This was the first one that came to mind but listening again he does let the crowd sing a lot. Might be worth a listen though

And this is the performance from AAF, which is nice to see but it cuts off before the last chorus :rolleyes:

I'm wondering if that one was chosen for AAF because it was where he let the crowd sing the least. That performance is my favourite too though :wub:

You rock! I'll definitely check out those first two because I love live versions of this song, but that third one is exactly what I was looking for, even though it cuts off. Thanks!

Anyone know where/when this picture is from?

I'm pretty sure it's from October 2016, cause this fanpage posted it among pictures with Sean Gibbons, which had been taken back then. 

Also Billie had the same hairstyle and jacket:

I know what you were looking for :lol::lol::lol: 

Does anyone have interview with Billie from Maxim magazine? I know it's on GDA, but I can't see it for some reason :(
