stephmonster Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 "if ANYBODY DISAGREES tell us WHY""Billie, Are you really just a songwriter who happens to play guitar or vice versa?" To me, that questions seems kind of dull. Its like. who cares? "Pretend you never signed to a major label in 93. Pretend you still kept making amazing records, the same ones you've made now, and you were still on an independent label just before you wrote American Idiot. Do you think that a, you would still have written the immense quality of the record, and b, if someone asked you to sign, would you?"Same with this one. Any response to this question would be Yes it would be good quality. No it would not have been as good of quality. Yes we would sign. No we wouldnt. eh.. Either way.. its just sort of boring. "was it different making insomniac, because you were known and succesfull.. compared to making Dookie when you weren't known to mainstream yet and didn't know if it was going to be a success"This ones alright I guess. But again, this one seems just, well, boring. I know I don't really care about the answer one way or the other. Its just. eh. ok. whatever.

Guest Mike's Secret Admirer Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Then how about.."What would you like to be doing 10 years from now? Will you still be making music?"That was answered! I know it for a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan. Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 ..and how about the "Describe your family" question? We all would like to know more about their families, don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pan. Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 But I still think my drugs and alcohol question is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemicEmotions Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 To me, that questions seems kind of dull. Its like. who cares?It's a reference from John Lennon, I think it would be pretty cool. Nonetheless, I see your point.Same with this one. Any response to this question would be Yes it would be good quality. No it would not have been as good of quality. Yes we would sign. No we wouldnt. eh.. Either way.. its just sort of boring. But this could get out a detailed answer that some of us are looking for.This ones alright I guess. But again, this one seems just, well, boring. I know I don't really care about the answer one way or the other. Its just. eh. ok. whatever.Okay. Well, do you have a question?But I still think my drugs and alcohol question is pretty decent.Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 And this is the list Me, MSA, Rebel, and Tedifer have agreed upon [again if ANYBODY DISAGREES tell us WHY]:Just not very interesting. If you can pretty much guess what the answer will be, then it isn't interesting.I also don't think there should be questions about their families. That is too intrusive. The Idiot Club is about Green Day--not their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 I can't imagine going up to Green Day, looking them in the face, and asking them to tell me about their personal lives. I think thats the kind of way you guys need to look at things. yeah, there are lots of stuff we'd like to know more about - but you also have you remember that just because we want to know, doesn't mean Green Day wants us to. I'd hate to ask them anything that makes them feel akward about the Q&A, cause that would pretty much ruin any future chances, I would imagine.What is the weirdest thing a fan of yours has done to try and meet you.. in reaction to meeting you.. to you. some variation of that.Someone replied earlier that Billie has already talked about that in another interview, and he answered with something about a girl who jumped on his back asking for an autograph.

Don't ask me why, I just think they're too personal.I don't think the drugs/alcohol question is that personal...they've discussed about drugs and alcohol before, so I really don't think they would mind being asked that. Besides, they might have an interesting answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farley drexel hatcher Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 That's why i'm wondering if the 'Advice' question should be considered or not. It's a good question, but it's very personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
