That will almost certainly get a classic Tre response!

Is it true that 'Do Da Da' was once called 'Stuck With Me?' If so, what was track 3 on Insomniac supposed to be titled?

:lol:

'Do Da Da'. The names were swapped around for some reason.

Do you guys know where you will be touring? (Go to Edmonton!)

They always go to Canada, so shut it.

What's the best lyric you've ever written?

You're on a plane with Jesus, Axl Rose, Chuck Norris, Al Gore and The Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. The plane is going down and you have 1 spare parachute. Who do you save and why?

How do you respond to Johnny Rotten dismissing you as a 'wank outfit'?

If no man can eat 50 eggs, how many can he eat before throwing up?

What's your dirtiest joke?

If the cast of High School Musical asked to record a song with you, would you accept?

Where have all the bastards gone?

LOL, Scuzzy, I didn't know about that! What did they say about the Peppers?

Eh, it was just some shitty little thing. I've been trying to find the interview but the new greenday.net is confusing me. Basically the interviewer asked Billie Joe if they'd ever appear in The Simpsons (I think it was because Tre was doing impressions of cartoon characters) and he went "Pft. :rolleyes: We'll leave that to the Red Hot Chili Peppers". Well, it didn't actually say "Pft. :rolleyes:", but you could tell. :shifty:

Chuck Norris doesn't need saving from the plane. The plane needs saving from Chuck Norris.

Okay, I've come up with these;

To them all

1) Now you've acheived your ambition of becoming the biggest band on the planet where does Green Day go from here. Where would you like to see yourselves in 10-15 yrs time?

2) Does the new”grown-up “ Green Day from the American Idiot Era mean we'll only see a more mature responsible Green Day from now on. Or can we hope that one day Tre will dye his hair green again?

3) Some artists are saying that they won’t make albums any more just downloadable singles. How do you think this will affect the future of the music industry and will you always be an album band?

4) When you're not touring do you think about your fans at all? Or do you go home and think "Good we can have some peace and quiet now?"

I wonder how many Green Day fans actually think that came off the top of Tre's head? The eggs thing I mean.

Mmm, it's kind of annoying. Most of the n00bs I suspect.

Tre, how do you feel about the fact that possibly thousands of teenies believe that you invented the phrases "No man can eat 50 eggs" and "Orange mocha frappucino"? Do you think that Cool Hand Luke and the male models from Zoolander would be at all offended by this if a) they were not fictional and b) they had not died in a "freak gasoline fight accident"?

To Billie: why do you have a hanky in your back pocket most of the time?

Well back years and years ago cowboys used to do that to show they were gay

Why he does it, i dont have a clue :lol:

Anyways

Do you prefer touring, recording, writing, award shows and tv appearances or just downtime out of the spotlight?

or a variation of that question

Whats your favourite part of being in Green Day

or something like that

I'm really bad at structure, sorry :lol:

have you ever regretted being in Green Day?

They have answered these already, they said that for a start some songs just go down better live, and that they have to think of the audience as a whole, to balance some old songs with the hits as for every old song they play, there are like 40,000 people going WTF?? :huh:

:lol:

Yeah, but that was a weak answer Billie Joe gave about 10 years ago.

I want to know why they never play older songs or non released songs off albums. Maybe the odd time they will, but I want to know why they don't do it more frequently. What's the point in saying "well, not everyone knows those songs" ? That's just a cop-out. It's easy for them to play Basket Case and Minority 10,000 times because evvvvveryone knows those songs well. But that is one of their downfalls when performing live, playing the same songs over.

:o Cool. Never knew that.

Same reason maybe? :shifty:

Oh, and I have a better question than my last (very confused) one.

Would you ever consider going vegan or vegetarian (again), particularly to help the environment as you have been raising awareness for environmental causes recently (vegan and vegetarian diets use less land, water and fuel).

I wasn't really sure how to put it. I might reword it later if I can think of any ways to improve it.

honestly, I dont want any of the questions to be about the new album

we'll find out what it's like when it's relased. besides they're not going to tell much about it anyway

I'd rather we ask questions that nobody has asked yet and ones that they'll actually give a good answer too

Exactly what I thought too!

Think of it this way; if you were standing in front of the band and had their attention for a few minutes, what would you want to ask them?

i'd say.." um well..im standing infont of the best band ever..and idk what so say...im screwed"..haha no i'd ask them "would you ever go back and change things in your career, or wanting anything to be different" (besides renaming isominac "jesus supermarket" (or w/e it was")

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

maybe not....

Can you still play all of your old songs (i.e. 39/Smooth, Slappy, 1000 Hours, Sweet Children)?

Are there any songs in your back catalogue that you hate, and why?
