Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Playing new songs with Mike Tre and Jason the last couple weeks. Really fun. And working hard! That just makes me smile I just like reading little things like that. Armatage shanks was first recorded at the BBC in 1994. We were doing a BBC session and I went to the bathroom and noticed the toilet brand Hey that looks like a good title for a song! I felt like I was getting pissed on at the time. Ha! Haha, nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_and_the_ave Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 But isn't it ARMITAGE shanks? yeah that brand is spelt armitage but I guess Billie changed the spelling for whatever reason I used to have armitage shanks sinks/toilets until parents got the bathrooms redone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Haze Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 A toilet brand? Well, I did NOT see that one coming I seriously had no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena549 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's really a toilet brand?! I expected that, but I never thought that they'd take it as a song-name! When I was on holiday in England, I went to the restroom of a burgerking and the brand on the washbowl said 'Armatage Shanks' I was like: That's a Green Day song! And took a photograph of it It's good to know that my expectations were right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayfabe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Isnt the brand called Armitage shanks? With an i ? Because then he read it wrong, or just wanted to change a letter... (I saw that brand for the first time when I went to the restrooms in the national gallery in london xD ) Yes. Probably for copywrite reasons I guess. Armatage Shanks is way cooler anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snark Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well, Mike just said that they were recording a new record, not who was doing it. It could be he wasn't even talking about GD... BUT SQUEE! BILLIE'S BACK!!! I can't stop grinning like a moron. AND He's still only following Gaga... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastnightonGDA Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yay, it's good to see him tweeting again I love how they spell it "Armatage Shanks" when it's really "Armitage Shanks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorKlinke Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Great to see they're working on the new record already I expect it to be released in early 2012 which shouldn't be bad at all since they took five years for 21stCB and it wasn't that good... So, less time = better record? It probably just wasn't considered that good because it's almost damn near impossible to follow up an album like American Idiot, plus making everyone wait 5 years, it was highly anticipated. HAHa. And obviously the AI era still isn't over, either. So stoked for the next album!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EDIT Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I wish we had a copy of the BBC Version of Armatage Shanks he was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segaloco Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm just hoping that along with the next album, they give Cigarettes and Valentines another shot. I mean, they should consider the live version testing the waters to see how people would've reacted to it, from what I see it's all positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlee Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I know your gonna think i'm dumb...but i've heard that that's where he got the name from, but I didn't think it was serious, i thought it was a rumor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It is . Go to a public toilet in the UK and you'll see "Armitage Shanks" on all the toilets, toilet paper dispensers and sinks. Haha I see they actually mention the Green Day song on the Armitage Shanks Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armitage_Shanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
