We get another Q&A with Green Day


Fuzz

Recommended Posts

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. :]

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. :)

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

I thought someone said he uses it to wipe his sweaty hands on while he's performing.

What's something you wish you could understand better?

REALLY like that one, and I doubt they've been asked that before.

To all members of Green Day:

''If you could go back in time to anywhere in your life and re-live it again what would it be?''

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. :pinch:

To Billie Joe:

Do you read some of the letters/emails that fans send to you nowadays? and do you respond some of them?

Could you make a song with a lyric/poetry that a fan send to you?

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!! titi
Green 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?

Okay, I've come up with these;

To them all

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?

I Like that...Pick this one!

What song would you like to have written? ( I dont know if my english is correct)

Insomniacs is your harder album, sometimes dont you find it hard to listen?

Do you have any habit that helps you to write?

If you were going into a desert island and you could only take 3 records with you, what records would you choose?

Mike are you really a vegetarian? Why do you keep getting nominated for sexiest vegetarian?

Which South Park characters would you describe each other as?

If you had to switch places with another member of GD who would it be?

Favorite quote?

Do you ever listen to your own music?

What is the Bullwinkle?

Would you ever play Woodstock again?

Mike: Rank London Calling's songs in the order that you like them.

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 :/

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?
