Green Day Q&A Thread


Liam

Recommended Posts

I have a question, which might have been answered in the past, but I'll ask again anyways:

At the end of the "Dookie Demo Tape 3" (after the 'Instrumental Outro') there's a snippet of a fast song by some band. What's that song?!

I've been gone for months and months. What's going on now? Have I missed anything important? Is Green Day currently doing anything that I should be aware of? I do know that they were inducted into and played at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so I'm up to date on that, but otherwise I have no idea what's happening.

They played a small show in Cleveland to warm up for the Hall of Fame, played a show at Gilman Street (!), and Billie and Norah Jones played a secret show in New York doing songs from Foreverly a couple of weeks ago. And Green Day are playing a festival in Kentucky in August. I think that's about it.

Anyone have a nice quality scan of the first pressing of Pinhead Gunpowder's Trundle and Spring EP? It's the black and white one. I know there's a collector site that has some reually nice scans, but they don't show up on google results

Wish I could help you out but I have the second pressing. Boo :P

What songs start with a bass and drum intro other than Longview ?

She does (guitar comes in at the first chorus). And I'll be interested to know which others do, I'm sure someone knows.

More of a linguistic question/clarification I guess, but I was re-reading some of Billie's quotes and I was wondering, in the "History will tell if we were really a good band or just a one day fly" one, shouldn't it be "flight"? Or am I just misinterpreting it?

Can't find any phrase with either "fly" or "flight, but dayfly is an insect with super short lifespan.

I think "one day" is an adjective here though...

I agree, but I've never seen anyone use it this way and because I couldn't find it as a phrase in a dictionary I tried to come up with something that sounds similar and would make sense in case the quote was misspelled...What do I know though ?:D

I think he was referring to a fly by night band.  Meaning one that doesn't have a good reputation or shady reputation.

I asked this a few months ago but no one knew the answer and its still bugging me so I might as well ask again

I can recall a video of Billie Joe from around the American Idiot era talking about when Green Day were at Goat Island in 2000, and him yelling "You're fucking up my view of the bridge". Does this video exist or am I tripping?
