Random Green Day Thoughts

Oh I wish we had a Green Day tattoo discussion thread because I was just having this discussion elsewhere where we were trying to identify and date them. There are a lot of photos out there too but I don’t have a site to post photos from if you’re feeling ambitious and want to start a thread hopefully that will be okay with the mods. I love talking about their ink.

What’s funny about the JCS one is that I’ve always loved that show and when I saw he had it I thought he was a fan too. Turned out he only got to know the musical later. He just saw the image on his friend’s soundtrack album and liked it but hadn’t even heard it. I couldn’t imagine taking that kind of risk with a tattoo. What if he heard the show and hated it? But then he always had a christianity fetish so it makes sense. 

I love the look of his full sleeves overall, but individually I love “Be Silently Drawn” and the fact that he has his kids’ names and Adie’s pictures and anything that has more meaning for him. Even the little homemade ones are cool because they have a history, like the matching stars he and Mike have.

We already have a fangirl thread where we talk about every part of their (mostly Billie's) bodies, I can't imagine a thread discussing the ink ON their bodies would be off limits? haha. You should start one.

I didn’t know there was a video for Poprocks and Coke. So cute!

What a good decision to take a days holiday off work. It was cold and icy outside when I went Christmas shopping in town so I think I'll spend the rest of my day off looking at Rev Rad era videos:)

Yeah and The First Noel and Why Does It Always Rain On Me and a Network-type song. And was Minnesota Girl from there? It's similar quality but I can't remember if it was or not. Billie would call once a week or something and leave random messages, and just sometimes decided to play songs (hence the terrible quality). There were like 50 of them. They used to be available to download and I used to have them all but I think they're lost now :cry:. Tre did some too but I don't think they were ever saved.

You can find the songs and a couple of the phone messages on YT

Absolute Radio: "Green Day and U2 coming up next, something quite obscure I haven't heard in ages" :lol:

I knew the songs were there but didn't know any messages were so thanks! It's annoying that the full set was lost.

You just posted that so we could have another image of Billie being lifted.  ;)

Poprocks and Coke is such a nice, sweet song it makes me smile from ear to ear whenever I hear it:)

Wouldn’t you just love Tre to do a dirty country record!

I have mixed feeling about this. All By Myself is great but Like A Rat Does Cheese is pretty misogynistic.

I hate Like A Red if it was his original song. It's a parody putting together lyrics from several rap songs and that's what it makes a bit less disgusting and more funny :P

So I never really loved Blvd of Broken Dreams the way it seems so many people do? It's not a bad song obviously, but I think it was extremely overplayed and I guess eventually the time just passed. Plus there isn't one single weak track on Idiot, so I have plenty of other faves :lol: But this memory is now so deeply tied to it that I can hardly listen to it without crying? (I uploaded this just for this post hahaha. Excuse me being really embarrassing screaming at Billie)

Because I like rap I knew this right from seeing the title (which is from a 2 Live Crew song) and I assumed it wouldn't really be Green Day and was some dodgy mislabeled download because I couldn't comprehend how they could be quoting that song :lol:. The percentage of GD fans that are aware the lyrics are from classic gangsta rap songs must be so low (since GD and late 80s/early 90s gangsta rap don't exactly have a similar audience), I always think it's a shame that the parody angle is lost on almost everyone who listens to it :P

I wish my radio station here would stop playing She 5x a day and play something else (She gets played repeatedly daily Brain Stew gets played a few times weekly and Still Breathing maybe once or twice a week)

At least your radio station actually plays Green Day frequently. I've only heard GD on the radio 3 times in my life (4 if you include a cover of 21 Guns).:lol:
