cutemoos Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I went to see Green Day's 'Fan Appreciation' show at the Warfield last October or November 2005. The show was the best by the way and I was so excited to bring home one of Billie Joe's picks that night.Anyway, here is my 2-part question:1. How come there were never any reviews on that show? I don't think anyone that didn't make it in ever heard that you played about 4 hours, welll past midnight and...2. It was obvious that the show was being taped because of all the cameras & other equipment - will we see excerpts from this intimate concert in the American Idiot movie due to come out soon?Oh, one more.3. Billie Joe, did you ever make it to the showing of Bullet in a Bible when it premiered at the Emeryville movie theatre? I saw your beautiful wife there, almost met her - I was next in line to say hello when she left to use the restroom. Anyway, did you, Mike and Tre make it? I noticed there were 3 seats off to the side that were blocked off by a Live 105 banner at the end of the row Adrienne was in. Just wondering.

EhhScrewIt!! Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 WOW this is fucking awesome! anyways a question would be where do you guys get the inspiration for all of your songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle7107 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 We only have 5 questions I think at least a few of them should be entertaining. I think questions like "What's your favorite song" or "How many guitars you have" Shouldn't be used. :/ I'm pretty sure you could find basic questions like that anywhere. I don't know, that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Girl1989 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Since everyone's been freaking out on the 'Blue' thread maybe we could ask where he actually got Blue from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustralianFan Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Since everyone's been freaking out on the 'Blue' thread maybe we could ask where he actually got Blue from?I don't understand why everyone's freaking out about it, mayers well start a "Tres Drums" thread and a "Mikes Bass" thread, I mean who cares where they get their instruments from? :/ Next people will be asking where Billie gets his clothes.

Mr Smith Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 From what I saw on the small clips between each song on BIAB, they were once naked with each other ... or at least Tre' ran out of the rooms with a big ding dong showing (blurred out though)...No, what I would really like to know, is who inspired you to start playing in a band? Why did you decide to play the guitar? Were you trying to impress somebody? Or did you just do it to piss of the other bands with your new-born skill?

Cassie. Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Jeez this is hard...hmm, ok then...Do you think you've matured a great deal over the years?Or, What was the most valuable lesson you've learnt from being a musician?Those suck I know but its the best I can come up with.

Mr Smith Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Question:Most of the songs that have been composed by Green Day are in a tablature (TAB) format, will you continue to do this, or will you go off and make an other amazing chord song like Good Riddance?

creeping jesus Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 oh wicked awesome i get to ask questions1) What do you think of those new pop groups like the Pussycat Dolls ect?2) What's the real reason why Tre on Punk'd didn't go to air? (don't have to use this one)3) When writing songs and you just made heaps of these good ones then you can't come up with any for ages and you got no inspiration what do you do? cos I got that at the moment4) (For Mike) How do you come up with stuff to play on bass like during When I Come Around so the bass stands out more instead of it being hidden away cos it's the same notes of the guitar5)Have you ever been attacked (like massive attack) by crazed fans?

Varda Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was always wondering,if creating and eventually "becoming" the Network saved the downfall of Green Day..but I guess would be ridiculous to ask,cause they *cough cough* hate The Network..or did that relation change?or...whaat..anway,forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_dudette_ Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 2) Do you ever worry that because you've been honest about using drugs and alcohol, your children will think it's a good thing for them to do?5) Are you ever afraid of the intense feelings, bordering on obsession, your fans have for you?10) Are they any covers of your songs you like?12) If you were stranded on a desert island without any food and two of you had to eat the other one to survive, who's dinner?wow ur good at this... love these questions in particularand as for askin about whether any fans have gotten violetn - we know thats true coz theres a video where billy had to jump into the audience to beat up some "mohawk motherfucker" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabel Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I agree with everyone who thinks we should stick to asking serious questions. This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity, so lets make it good! I'm very interested in finding out about the following areas:- 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours & Kerplunk!- Their kids' reaction to their fame- Song writing*How come, if you didn't like it enough to put it on Kerplunk, you bothered to put Haushinka on Nimrod?^ I've actually always wondered about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratepalmer Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 1. Who is Whatsername?2. Did you teach yourself your instruments or take any lessons?3. Anyone going bald or going for botox?4. What would you like your kids to do when they grow up - an occupation not just "be happy" please.5. If you're depressed what music lifts you up (if any?)

Pirate Girl Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Got to be the Blue question - always wanted to know who got him it & when - and if he still plays it - I thought he did but someone on the Blue thread said he doesn't anymore (just the replicas)Obviously it would be good to know when we'll get to hear any new stuff.

RebelofSuburbia Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Okay.. sorry if these have been posted before :/ Describe your fellow band members in one wordWas it difficult to deal with the unexpected success of Dookie?Do you ever watch perfomances of yourselves and how do you feel about them?What inspires you to write?Do you feel like you've changed as a person after you became a mainstream rockband?

Laura33 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Do you have a fav song that you love so much that you wouldnt try and cover, because you would be too afraid that you wouldnt do it justice?Do you find that there is sometimes some extra pressure on you because you are the one that writes the songs? (to Billie Joe)Has this success meant that you have had to change the way you live when you are at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter. Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 When you were creating/recording Dookie (And American Idiot if you will), did you have any idea how massive the success was gonna get?When did you realize that you were gonna be able to make music as your living?I don't know, was kinda the best ones i could come up with...

Jimmy's_Rebel Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 GDA seems to have a large selection of fan tattoos. The Idiot club asked what Green Day thinks of them, and I never got to hear the answer/ What about that. What does Green Day think about fan tattoos?I agree with that one, that would be good 1) what do you think of fans getting green day tattoos2) are you planning on working on your side projects this year i.e. Pinhead Gunpowder/The Frustrators/The Network3) What do you think of *still* being nominated for awards two years after American Idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
