GDM Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 So Billie isn't too keen on this issue? No one knows that for sure, so I wouldn't make any guesses in regards to it. We'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzard Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I want my fucking money so I can fucking buy this...I don't care if he's insulting fans...whatever. I just want to fucking read it! But my stupid paycheck is having problems coming in fuck, fuck, fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ^The band must've been aware of what they were letting themselves in for with Aaron though. He writes whatever he observes, they must know him and his writing well enough to know that holding things back isn't his style. I still think it could've just been because Billie didn't wanna sign something that isn't his work. Although from the sound of it maybe when I read it I'll think differently Exactly. And Aaron even said (without wanting to spoil anything:P) that Mike said he has to write about this trip. I dont blame him though, I probably wouldnt have signed it either if I was him. Maybe he just didnt expect Aaron to be that personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the post about him not wanting to sign it, that's all. I wasn't sure if i'd missed more details. But his angry tweet about Aaron makes me wonder.

Izzard Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 About how much does this cost with shipping? I'm buying from Ontario Canada. Should I be expecting to be paying more than $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Exactly. And Aaron even said (without wanting to spoil anything:P) that Mike said he has to write about this trip. I dont blame him though, I probably wouldnt have signed it either if I was him. Maybe he just didnt expect Aaron to be that personal. Yeah I'm sure Billie knew the kinds of things Aaron might write and Aaron knew the kinds of things Billie might think about it but they both went ahead and did it anyway. Whatever Billie thinks about it (I wish we knew!), neither of them are in the wrong for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'net Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 About how much does this cost with shipping? I'm buying from Ontario Canada. Should I be expecting to be paying more than $10? Compare the cost on GDA ... we tried to keep our shipping costs as low as possible. However, if you're in Canada and buying from Canada, it might be less for you to purchase that way. If you're in Canada, it would be a total of $9 from us ($4 for the book and $5 for shipping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 What did he tweet about Aaron, may I ask? The full tweet was "I basically met my wife on the slappy tour..And yes we were cometbus first distributor. Your welcome, Aaron" (sic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The full tweet was "I basically met my wife on the slappy tour..And yes we were cometbus first distributor. Your welcome, Aaron" (sic) Thanks. That sounds a little ironic to me, the "thank you" I mean. Hmm. Oh, and what does sic mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 The full tweet was "I basically met my wife on the slappy tour..And yes we were cometbus first distributor. Your welcome, Aaron" (sic) Yea, I don't see that as being angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yea, I don't see that as being angry. Maybe not angry, but there's sarcasm there alright. He was definitely pissed off about something when he was sending those tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripe Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I just saw it as mildly sarcastic. "Sic" means she quoted it as it was originally written/tweeted. With the wrong use of "your" specifically. In other words, she is saying "That's Billie's error, not mine!" Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 He tweeted that in amongst all those tweets about 1039/39 Smooth. He picked out and deleted only the angriest of them in the morning and deleted the Aaron one too, but he left all the non-angry ones that were in between the angry ones. So seems like there must've been some kind of bitchiness meant in the tweet or he wouldn't have deleted it. Doesn't seem like anything serious though, just a little dig.

IscoredWaddlesgoals Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Eh. If you don't want people to find out certain things about you (if this is the case anyway) then either don't do/say them or don't invite a writer on tour with you to record it all.

Noy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I started reading mine the other day on my way back home from NY and yep, I can totally see why Billie was pissed about it and wouldnt sign it. I mean, there's a lot of positive stuff about the band in there but also one or two things that are just way too personal and don't belong there. But apart from that, I really enjoy reading it (besides the fact that I have to look up too many words sometimes ) haha wow awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendaytone Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who asked Billie to sign a copy? Sorry if i missed the post earlier. Makes sense that he wouldn't want to sign someone elses work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who asked Billie to sign a copy? Sorry if i missed the post earlier. Makes sense that he wouldn't want to sign someone elses work. I don't think that's much of an issue though. He signs magazine and various other things that aren't his work on the regular. If he didn't sign the Cometbus, I feel like there may be more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabel Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I abslolutely adore reading Aaron's zines and this one has been no exception. I only started reading it this morning on the way into college but I'm almost done. I just fucking love this guy's ability to capture a moment almost efforlessly and yet so eloquently. He is such a talented writer. I can't understand how anyone wouldn't appreciate this zine, really wish I could write like him. Fantastic <3 With regards to the 'controversial' comments he makes about the Green Day fans: the guy is just being honest and by reading the actual zine, and past zines of his, it's obvious that the whole thing is just completely alien to him. and having been detached from the world of Green Day for so long, he can't understand it. He even mentions at the beginning of this issue about having to try and stifle any resentment/self righteousness that he inevitably feels about the whole trip. I implore anyone dithering over it to pick up a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oda Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who asked Billie to sign a copy? Sorry if i missed the post earlier. Makes sense that he wouldn't want to sign someone elses work. It was me, Anja, Melanie and Katharina. He signed Melanie's playbill though, but skipped the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
