captain peroxide Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 II had never even heard about this "Arica," tbh... She's Mike Pelino's sister. He's in The Enemies, and played rhythm guitar on the Bullet in a Bible tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain peroxide Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thought Erica was the She girl? Well, they dated before Billie met Adie, so it's entirely possible she's She. The Enemies were a Lookout! band around the same time as Green Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, the one that 1,000 Hours is about? I get my gals mixed up, clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain peroxide Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wait, the one that 1,000 Hours is about? I get my gals mixed up, clearly. Someone needs to compile a chart I have no idea who 1,000 Hours is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Someone needs to compile a chart I have no idea who 1,000 Hours is about. I was told it was about one of his friend's sisters. So, who wants to start a spreadsheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain peroxide Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I was told it was about one of his friend's sisters. So, who wants to start a spreadsheet? Then it's probably about her. I do not volunteer as tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Someone needs to compile a chart I have no idea who 1,000 Hours is about. Yeah, I thought 1000 Hours was about Mike Pelino's sister (well, not absolutely but someone in another thread put various statements together). I might do the chart at some point, but no guarantees.

solongfromthestars Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Billie tweeted about quite a few of the old songs about girls. Billie Joe Armstrong @BJAofficial · 19 Feb 2011 All the songs from the 1000 hours 7' are about the same girl Billie Joe Armstrong @BJAofficial · 19 Feb 2011 Words I might have ate was about Nina. She broke my heart. I was a shitty boyfriend. Hahahaha! Billie Joe Armstrong @BJAofficial · 15 Feb 2011 Judges Daughter is about a "judges daughter" back in hi school. Had a crush on her and I thought her dad would throw me in prison. Billie Joe Armstrong @BJAofficial · 9 Feb 2011 "She" is about a girl named Amanda. So is Sasafrats roots(title by Mike) and so is "whatsername".. Ooh.. That's a good factoid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Billie tweeted about quite a few of the old songs about girls. Well at least that's settled the debate as to whether or not Amanda actually is called Amanda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 he once dated a girl who had a twin sister. No idea who that was. Possibly Nina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well I mean, it was on American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast recording (or whatever that album is called), so I guess we could say it already is on a Green Day album. I wouldn't really count that as a Green Day album I'd say Amanda (if he did date a girl with that name) and Adrienne are two pretty common names... Oh, I had no idea these two were common. I thought they weren't either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Amanda's really common. Or so I've heard lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaïs. Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Dirty Rotten Bastards is the best song off of Tre from a musical standpoint. I don't care that the lyrics suck complete ass, because let's be real, it's not the kind of song for which lyrics matter. Driving on the freeway with that middle section pumping at full volume makes you feel like a complete badass. Now, I will say I'd prefer heavier guitars, but that's why there's this version: Which, IIRC, Todd has a lossless version of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if you don't instantly recognize "Chanson du Toreador" and find yourself immediately turned off by Green Day blatantly ripping off an opera classic.

Sure I recognize that it's a ripoff, I just don't much care. When it comes to music, steal from the best, if you're good at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaïs. Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 You must be a big John Williams fan. Oh yes. (Actually had this conversation in the Movie Club, I think.) I don't care that his melodies for Star Wars largely drew from classical pieces, because it's what suited the films, and Williams himself is an extremely talented man. If all he did was steal from other composers I'd be irritated with him, I'm sure, but he writes more original stuff very well too. So do I give a fuck that the Imperial March was stolen from Chopin or the main title fanfare was taken from Holt? Not really, since they're still excellent pieces and are very effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Imperial March was ripped off of Antonin Dvorak's "New World Symphony", and the main title was blatantly stolen from Erich Korngold's 1941 theme to the film "King's Row", but yeah, you get the idea. I don't think there's anything artistic about stealing someone else's melody (or, in Williams' case, their entire song) and claiming it as your own.
