The radio interview has been “lost” for a bunch of years now. People have asked for it here before but it seems that no one has it anymore. 

also hearts collide wasn't part of that. it was just tmts that he confirmed.

fwiw i did listen to that interview when we still had it.

Oh really? I wonder if Hearts Collide is just speculation? Granted the lyrics certainly fit in with "Cigarettes and Valentines" as a theme.

Just speculation. And we can say for certain that the version that was released was recorded much later. Can't say when it was written unless someone from the band tells us.

These are the only ones confirmed:

Cigarettes & Valentines
Wasteaway (Warning outtake)
Sleepyhead (Warning outtake)
Clusterbomb (Warning outtake - also the original name of Letterbomb, no info whether the entire song was reused or just the title)
Dropout
Too Much Too Soon

Tracks like Shoplifter, Minnesota Girl, Things I Heard Today, What About Today, Governator, Favorite Son, and the entirety of Money Money 2020 are all also likely to have been on C&V or have some connections to the album (rewritten or not). Simply due to being put out at/around the time they were working on it.

 

Anything beyond this is baseless speculation. Even the 2003 tracks I just listed are speculation, but for anything beyond that there are especially no real connections to be drawn.

Interesting shit thank you for all the info. Letterbomb is quite possibly my favorite GD song so I'd love to hear what Clusterbomb was. Though I do have a question, if they were Warning outtakes wouldn't that mean they weren't for C&V? I have the only version we got of Things I Heard Today on my ipod and I've always loved it.

They were both Warning outtakes and confirmed tracks for C&V. The same way Good Riddance was an Insomniac outtake and also on Nimrod.

Do you know where it was confirmed that Clusterbomb was also for C&V? Or do we just treat it as confirmed since it was on the two surrounding albums as well?

 

I got this info from a post you made so i figure you're the one to ask :^)

We just assume for Clusterbomb :P It has not been confirmed.

It did exist. It wasn't stolen, they just scrapped most of it to start fresh.

With the rumor that Green Day will be leaving Warner to go independent, would that include leaving Crush, or are they separate from Warner?

Crush is separate from Warner.

Can you still sign up on idiotnation?

not currently it says it’s being worked on but it’s probably because they’re not doing anything right now and aren’t using it much as a result. I imagine it might start accepting new members once an album is announced or touring starts. They had a package deal with a membership and vinyl for rev rad so I imagine they’ll do something similar this go around

They haven’t been accepting memberships for a couple of years now though with this excuse. I think the site is practically defunct, I don’t think it gets support from GD’s organization anymore.

Yeah they probably don’t really have much content for it. They can post videos or pictures on Instagram now. But they did do a few presale tickets and a drawing or two for tickets on it during rev rad so I think it’s like 50/50 on whether they bring it back

edit: I don’t think fob has an official fan club thing so crush might not care much about maintaining it

Damn, I want ticket presales (only reason for ever renewing membership). I hope they do bring it back just for that.

I technically have a membership, but haven't renewed it in years. =/ Memberships are still renewable right? It's just that you can't make a new one? Am I understanding that correctly?

Does anyone have the Poem that inspired Billie to write She? I believe he said that it was also called She and that an ex girlfriend sowed it to him and he wrote his in response. I'd love to read it if anyone can help thank you very much

I don’t believe it was ever made public. I could be wrong though.

Does anyone have a link to the Beats 1 interview that happened a little while ago? I would like to listen to it again, but not sure where to find it?
