Todd Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Who were the guys that were with Green Day back in the day? besides Tre and Al. Sean Hughes EC Dave and....I know I'm forgetting like one more. Sean Hughes played with them from 86-87 on bass. One day he had to go somewhere during practice, so Mike took over bass while he was gone, and Mike was pretty good at it, so Sean let him be bassist and he resigned. I have a few pictures of Sean on my ipod that I can upload later if you want Raj Punjabi played drums with them that time too. back then that's when they played metal songs, before the band was Sweet Children, they went through a bunch of names like Condom, Truant, Blood Rage and Desecrated Youth. It's not like they were a real band, they weren't putting on shows in 86, and only a few in 87, but they'd all hang out as friends and jam and shit. Dave E.C. Henwood was a temporary drummer after John, probably not for more than a month. He contributed to the writing of 2000 Light Years Away. He also played in Filth, the Vagrants, and the Wynona Riders (and according to wikipedia he's "curantly the drummer for JACK KILLED JILL, he also has a super hot girlfriend Ingrid Johansen that is also his drum tech." Wonder how long until someone edits that out ) And that's it Here's a cool article that mentions Raj and what he's doing today http://www.qvpr.com/articles/if-shew-fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beejeezee Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Who knows why Bill Schneider stopped working with the band?? the only thing I found is from wikipedia: Schneider ceased working with Green Day abruptly in September of 2012. At the time Billie Joe Armstrong was deeply involved in drug abuse and had been recently rushed to hospital in Italy as a result of an undisclosed illness. who knows what happened?? Wikipedia makes it sound like he left because of Billie's addiction. Not that Wikipedia was ever a reliable source, if I've learned anything from school.

laurie_black Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that annoyed me. The way they put it, it manipulates people into thinking that. It could be the case, but they have no idea. That might be how you write gossip articles, but that's absolutely no indication of a reliable article. They could have said just as well that Bill Schneider left after Green Day's European tour ended in early September 2012. Wikipedia makes it sound like he left because of Billie's addiction.

AngelBlue_ Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I don't think anybody here really knows why Bill Schneider left (unless they possess insider information), maybe he had intended it all along because he had other plans. We don't know whether it had anthing to do with Billie's state at the time (as is implied in the article you quoted), it might have been a coincidence for all I know. I remember it was said at the time that they were still on friendly terms. ok thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan86 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I recently purchased Dos on Vinyl and it has Drama Queen where Stray heart should be. I am aware that this is because of a last minute switch of stray heart to Dos and Drama Queen to Tre. My question is, do all Tre Vinyl versions have Stray Heart on them? I don't want to buy Tre and have another Drama Queen and no Stray Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to buy Tre and have another Drama Queen and no Stray Heart. All "Tré" records (CDs and vinyls) also have "Drama Queen" on them. There is no vinyl with "Stray Heart" on it (it's a shame imo. Would have made a nice 7'') EDIT proof: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Wait, that's only the first pressing of Dos though. Don't the newer pressings have Stray Heart? Or at least future ones will?And why did Greg replace Jeff the last few shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBE there will be future releases of the albums, but all the pressings that were released (the US, the EU and the colored HotTopic versions), have "Drama Queen" on "Dos" AND "Tré".

DookieLukie Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 On Holiday, does Billie say "The company lost the war AGAIN" or "TODAY". He sort of mixes it to sound like "TODIN" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sort of mixes it to sound like "TODIN" In the booklet it says "Today" and - as I am listening to the vocal track - I have to admit that he sings it more like "TODIN", but he does that a lot (singing unclear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on Bullet in a Bible he says 'on holitraaaaaay' at the end of the first chorus, so his pronunciation isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
