14razorbacks Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 green day:1)when you were kids, you obviously will have had band practise a lot.nowadays, do you still have band practise as such, or is it more just songwriting sessions and recording?2)when you play live, you don't always keep to the same set, but there are songs you play lots, and songs you don't play. when practising; do you still play your older songs (the ones you don't play live), just for fun? or do you need to concentrate on your live favourites mostly?3)on what i think was your first uk tour, mike told someone or other in an interview that you'd gotten rid of setlists after one or two shows; you just decided you didn't like them. do you have setlists now, or do you still not like them?4)while growing up, as well as the music coming out of the east bay area, were you into your UK punk like the clash, etc.? i know that billie liked black sabbath and ozzy osbourne a bit, but were you into anything like reggae, ska, blues?5)some bands are kind of made to do things by their record label, you're very good at staying away from that! (a nine minute punk rock opera for instance - it's cool how you do your own thing!). do you get along with the record label? i know rob cavallo is a cool guy; are they all like that or do some of them try and change your ideas?6)do you consider your live backing musicians as part of green day? i know they're not on the posters etc., and they havent been with you from the beginning, but live they do play a big part. are they green day members, or just really good friends, or what?7)this is kind of an extension of question 4; did you/do you like the band generation x? some of your stuff sounds quite like them (without the english accent) and i've just always wondered.cheers, you guys are totally awesome, heroes. :]--Rich, 14, UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcause Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow, that's a great name!I heard it was going to be called Tight Wad Hill I think Tight Wad Hill was another option, but Jesus Christ Supermarket is the one Billie Joe said he regrets not going with.

netty Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 hows about this for a question... for Billie, not exactly green day related but hey, so what. of all the bands Adeline have signed right now, why is it we hear only about Jesse Malin? is there no more talent in the Bay area who deserves your support? I`m going to take adeline off my myspace friend list soon because I`m sick of them promoting him and nobody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titi_bp Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 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?what do you feel when you're on stage? i love you!! titiGreen Day's manager has agreed to give us another shot to ask the band some questions, since our last attempt in September never went through.If you have a question you'd like to ask the band as a whole, or one individual member, post it here. We want to make this Q&A worthwhile for everyone, so think of questions you think would interest other fans as well. You can post as many questions as you want. Out of the questions posted, I'll be choosing 20 or so that you guys will then vote on to choose the final 10 we will be sending to them.I told their manager I would have the questions for him by next Friday, so you guys can submit questions till Wednesday night (August 1st). If someone asks a question that you think shouldn't be asked, or should be asked in a different way - then mention it. We want to have a good Q&A.what do you think about the politic, the USA, and Bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adzik1410 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 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?Well, I understand that for some of you "masturbating" onstage as opposed to public exposure isn't hardcore enough, but come on... Tre still is hardly ever serious in interviews. Bloody hell, he was carrying around that whip thingy (you imagine my associations aka dirty thoughts, don't you?), he smokes "lettuce" and dresses up on BIAB, grabs Mike's balls... I can't see how Tre has changed and "matured", maybe BJ is more serious now (with kids his age it's about time). Apart from the fact that they darkened their clothes, I can't see any difference compared to pre-AI era, really :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine2385 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Was Glady Webster a real person Tre? Do you think you're a typical representation of your zodiac sign?Are the rumors about making three albums really true, or is it just that much worth of songs? Would you consider making a double/triple album ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
