Yosuke Hanamura Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 This may sound like a question that’s kind of obvious, but I wanted to ask anyway for curiosity sake. What was it like to to look for news, pictures and clips of Green Day in mid 90’s, Prime MTV, Windows 95’, Dial-Up, etc., and how difficult or how much of hassle was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a life then so I didnt bother - dial-up was a disaster & I think we still read tour stuff in the newspaper & heard about it on the radio😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I just started binging a bunch of LGR last night and just got curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-internet music news, photos, etc was acquired via MTV news, radio and magazines and also fan club newsletters. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got internet in 98 and after that it was pretty easy to catch up on green day news, I remember greenday.net was a good site and there was actually an aol message board that I used to go to a lot. There was a girl named Stephanie on there who was really mean to me 😂 I used to tape their videos off tv, some interviews too, and I'd look for them in magazines too, there used to be a magazine called Circus that used to print green day stuff. I was like 11/12 back then so it wasn't a hassle for me, it was fun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Long, long dry periods where you heard absolutely not a peep from your fav band and then lots of frustration that stuff was going on but you weren’t able to access it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Over on setlist.fm, there is a weird thing. When you type in Green Day the first one listed is a show in LA where they played Welcome to Paradise / Father of All and THE ONE I WANT!!!!! But when you click on that concert is says it doesn't exist. Did they recently play THE ONE I WANT????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Grohl Posted January 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 Oh wow I still remember taping GD appearances and random nonsense on my VCR. I actually found those tapes and they're just confusing. One minute it's Green day on TRL the next it's SpongeBob screaming. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my parents taped over them or threw out the tapes. They’ve disappeared from the family room at their house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckez Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I haven’t been on this site in a while but I came on to ask... does the Oakland coffee playlist usually have songs with titles like the updated one?

Slave To The Network Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Is it just me, or has the tempo of American Idiot slowed down in recent years? It seems like they used to play it live much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing there are fans with similar mental health issues this isn’t something that should just be swept under the rug. Reach out to your friends and family if you need help. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Have we ever known how Going to Pasalacqua got named after a funeral chapel? I know Billie said the song is about revenge (source), so I assume it's something to do with death and revenge. I'd be interested to hear more from the band though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I've heard about the funeral chapel, but the revenge theme is new to me and I don't really get that meaning from the lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard the revenge story, but the one I read about the song was that it was just named after the place because he used to go to see a girl that lived near there in Benicia, it may even have been her family’s business I’d have to double check that.

Oh man I was just reading this a couple weeks ago, I think in a zine. They were driving around in John’s van and Billie was writing the lyrics as they drove past the funeral chapel, that’s how they got the name. Now I just have to find which zine it was so I can give a proper citation! 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
