COMETBUS #54 Green Day In China?!


GDM

Recommended Posts

I ordered my one from Microcosm but I haven't received a confirmation e-mail... I don't know if I did something wrong... :unsure: Anyone with this problem? When I go back to the website it doesn't say that I bought something there anywhere, and I can't remember if I had to register to buy the zine... God, I'm almost 100% sure that I wrote the Visa numbers and it said that they would be sending an e-mail soon, but nothing has arrived... I'm a bit worried :ermm:

I just ordered from Microcosm and I received the confirmation e-mail just seconds after. It´s an automatical reply with the reference code and I think timeline has nothing to do with it. You should ask them even if you don´t have the reference code I´m sure they´re able to find your order if you proceeded it correctly. If not than the credit card hasn´t been charged and you can put a new order. Here is what it said in the confirmation e-mail: "If your order doesn't arrive within 2 weeks, email us at orders@microcosmpublishing.com. Include your reference number and extra information that will help us find and track your package. We're like private detectives on this stuff!"

I don't remember that reference code thing... :blink: Whoa, I probably did something wrong. I'm just going to wait until my dad tells me that nothing has been charged and I'll order it again. And lol to the part in italics :lol: Thanks :happy:

My friend borrowed this and now she's ringing me every 10 minutes to talk about something that happened.:lol:

Reading this ruined the drunk bunny for me. Fucking water!

:lol: I half suspected that I suppose, but Prima Donna drinking water out of beer bottles onstage is just stupid. Why bother?

I found this interesting. I don't know if it ruined it for me, but it now seems kinda phony baloney. Like you, I always wondered if it was really beer too. Aaron sure was not kind about his description of the bunny!

:lol: Far more brutal to Prima Donna, though.

I finished reading it yesterday! This is certainly a must read for every fan, it was truly amazing! It gives an insight of the boys' daily routine on the road and an excellent portray of the guys off stage, their friendship, their personalities.. Like Billie being the quiet one, Mike who's seen as the serious one but is in fact really funny (well it didn't surprise me one bit, he seems like a freaking funny guy whenever he speaks during interviews) and Tré well who's the clown but who's pushing it too hard at times.

I love Aaron's way of writing! I'm sad it was so short but I recommend everyone to read it :)

The only part I didn't like was Tré eating the octopus.. I know it's a common thing to eat that alive there, my grandparents went in China last October and octopuses weren't the only sea animals alive in other people's soup. But Tré's way of eating it was cruel imo. I’m sure it wasn't done in the proper way with the procedure..

In overall, this is a very beautiful story about Aaron touring with his old friends.

There's this one part I found really sweet between Billie and Aaron when they are in a bar and just dancing together like they were doing at shows back in the days. Then at the end of Kiss Me Deadly Billie wrapped his arms around Aaron to give him a hug and a kiss.

Btw, didn't Billie meet Roger Daltrey in the steam room of a hotel in Vancouver, not Hollywood as described in the zine. Or did the same incident happened twice :lol:

I was a little disappointed how there weren't pictures in the issue, but all the content made up for it.

I found out a lot of interesting things not only about Green Day, but a little about Aaron and China as well.

This whole magazine was really well-written, in my opinion.

:dance:

I'd like to see how often some form of "Billie's sleeping" shows up in this.

Ahh it didn't really ruin the bunny, that's just me being a bit dramatic. I just wish it was actual beer, it's just gonna seem a bit fake to me now. I bet it's not even a real rabbit

:mad:

Yeah he was fairly brutal towards Prima Donna :lol: I actually kind of liked them, they were clearly a New York Dolls ripoff, but they were fun.

I kinda knew about the pink bunny thing already. He came up on the big screen at Manchester last year and the liquid inside the bottle looked flat & see through. If Prima Donna only have water then they're even stupider than I thought.

I'm actually incapable of not reading these spoilers :lol:

Not at all surprised about the pink bunny. It's never realistic drunkenness when he comes on, it's gloriously over-the-top and silly. Real drunknness wouldn't be nearly as entertaining.

Gonna be interesting to hear about Prima Donna but again I don't really care if they pretend to drink beer, it's a bit lame but if they wanna have that slightly tongue-in-cheek rockstar thing going on onstage but stay sober it doesn't bother me. When I met them they were the SWEETEST people ever so I don't care what anyone says :P:D

I knew he was never drunk, but I didn't think he was chugging water

:lol: Ah well. I liked Prima Donna but they definitely seemed to rub Aaron the wrong way. The backstage passes were a bit much for me, I get the whole rockstar groupie thing but that was sleazy =/

Yeah I agree about the backstage pass thing. If consenting adults wanna act that way it's up to them, but I do find it skanky. BUT they're lovely so I still love them

All these spoilers and quoted spoilers are making me LOL! If I were you, Hermione, I think I would have to read them too! :lol:

I thought he was a bit harsh about Prima Donna also. I don't love their music or stage presence but they are very sweet in person like you mentioned. Or I should say Kevin is - since that's really the only one of them I have talked to for any length of time.

Then, again, I am an old lady they would not be interested in providing with their sleazy backstage laminates so maybe I would have a different view if Kevin was in the sleaze mode when I met him.

:lol:

Working out the details now. Gonna try to start taking orders this week. Just want to make sure we have the right system to make sure orders are sent quickly and we keep track of everyone's stuff.

:lol:

He wasn't in sleaze mode with me either so maybe we're just not his type

:lol:

Also, the water out of beer bottles thing TOTALLY makes me think of Green Day drinking milk out of beer bottles in that Laurie L story. "Everybody in Green Day likes milk best of all, but the thing is, we drink it out of beer bottles because if we don't people will make fun of us and think we're sissies." :D

Can someone do me a favor and scan the front page? The only version I can use on the site is from LastGasp, which has the title slightly cropped. I'd like a better quality version if possible.
