Maybe not all. But if you wanna go to his house and 5 of his pictures all have the same location approximately, that's where you're gonna go. It won't be spot on, but it'll at least get you to the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxymore Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 One day my friend. I am far away, you are twice as far, but I know one day I will sit in that restaurant and eat the food. Probably chicken. One day. Your ton almost made me cry. Though, could you pick me guys, I promise I will not be a burden, all I need is money and sandwiches to trip with you.

The Disappearing Boy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Go to Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe in Oakland. The food is awesome, and it's partly-owned by Mike. http://www.youtube.com/wa EDIT: Didn't see that you already mentioned that you were going there. Oops, haha 1) I'm sure they said that reporter's name was Joe Risotto Jr, didn't they? 2) You'd think that, when they put the name banner under Mike, they'd mention that he is also co-owner of the cafe, not just a famous bassist!

Mykee Mexx Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 One day my friend. I am far away, you are twice as far, but I know one day I will sit in that restaurant and eat the food. Probably chicken. One day. Let´s make it an international meeting. Next year. Or the year after. Or... Would be funny, I guess. Will try to meet you there.

ThibautDookie Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 A meet-up would be insane ! The Powell station where the When I Come Around video was shot is also a good place. The telephone is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Personally, I think going to any of their houses is creepy, lol. With that said, have a great time in the Bay, it's great, you are going to love it. Just make sure you look up the weather. It can be a lot colder there than you think.

Todd Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Why go to venues like Tiki Bar or Pinole Calley High School or other places where they've played? There's no gonna be anything there. Hell, they've played everywhere in Oakland. And I forgot that Billie got a DUI in 2003. That's like really irresponsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm going to San Francisco & Berkeley, California next year, and thought it would be cool to check out some Green Day land marks, does anyone know where Christie Road, Longview video house, Gilman street, Fantasy studios are exactly? I'm also going to check out Mike Dirnt's diner Rudy can't fail in Emeryville, any other decent landmarks you guys know of? Be really grateful if you can let me know, thanks guys xoxo There was already a thread for this subject so I've merged yours with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks so much for posting this, what a great tour! I love seeing the actual places songs are written about, I've never been there so I would just look them up on Google maps. This is much better 🙂 Two questions: So is Passalacqua not the name of a town? (I assumed it was) Or is it only the name of the funeral home? I didn't know Studio 880 was sold. Is it still a recording studio or have GD moved 100% into Otis now? I thought Otis was too small to be their full time studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solongfromthestars Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I saw a few of the Green Day sights when I went in April. Didn't see as much as I would've liked since I wasn't there for long, but it was an amazing (and very surreal) experience. I can't wait to go back despite Oakland's reputation as the Detroit of California Broken Guitars The Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe in Oakland 1-2-3-4 GO! Records, where Green Day played one of their secret shows (the "Bay Area Music Fan Event") for the Trilogy. Billie and Joey also built the stage there and he's supported it a lot. Around West Oakland Station from the BART, the station referred to in Welcome to Paradise ("a gunshot rings out at the station") The Fox Theatre, where Green Day played a secret show for 21st Century Breakdown, one of the few times it was played in full live. The 2016 Dookie celebration event also happened here, when it was declared official Green Day day in Oakland The Oakland Rudy's is here as well. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, where the whole "80" thing comes from. The band have also talked about knowing they were finally home after gruelling tours when they saw the bridge. Some more pics in here Inside Broken Guitars ok so I didn't have time to find the Stuart crossing but I did take a picture with a Telegraph Ave sign Another picture inside Rudy's If you'd like to post any of these photos elsewhere please credit my My Rage My Love My Life project! This is my professional work Oakland is just full of Green Day history (and references if you're enough of a fangirl) - the impact they've had on their hometown is incredible and they sure won't ever be forgotten in the Bay Area.

I know that because it was pictured above but my question was whether that was the only source of the name or whether it was also a town, which seems to be no. And it only makes me wonder more what the significance to the song could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Billie Joe and his friends would hang out in Benicia I believe there was a girl living in the town that he liked or was his grflfriend.?? Pasalaqua was on the street that they hung out on. More to see: Nantucket restaurant in Crockett, Mike worked there in high school. Red Onion in El Sobrante - Billie Joe worked there 7-11 on Pinole Valley Road Foxboro Apartments in Hercules, where Mike and Billie Joe hung out when they were building the housing development and hot tubs and got the the name for Foxboro Hottubs.

You're welcome and thank you Hopefully I'll have more to share one day. I'm hoping to do my Master's degree there (and eventually live there actually, since my fiance is from Oakland) and then I'll have plenty of time for Green Day sightseeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Heading back to Chicago today. Just wanted to share my Green Day tour from the past several days. Several notes- I didn't include pics of private residences unless they've been made previously known (such as the warehouse and Longview house). I also included FBHT references (note if you go to the Ruby Room- it will take awhile for your eyes to adjust to the darkness in there. If you're me, that will mean apologizing to the bike you tripped over and wondering why it didn't respond). Interesting note for Stuart and the Ave- two corners didn't have any street signs, one only had a Stuart, and one only had a Telegraph, so I couldn't get any pic that had both names in it. Thank you a million times to the kind woman who gave me a ride when I got hopelessly lost in the Rockridge hills while trying to find Lake Temescal. Turns out her daughter had gone to school with Billie's son (Joey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
