Green Day: C/D?

I mean it's completely normal to record three complete records all at once, happens all the time.

Hmmm skeptical. On what? For what? Since when? Tested by? Confirmed by?

asking the tough questions

Jordan S, boy detective

These guys used to write songs about doing speed so they must be constantly on it. I don't know, dude obviously has problems and I have no doubt he's indulged in the past. On the other hand, he's held himself together pretty well until this point.

I don't want to be that guy really, but backstage after a Green Day show was one of the most chill, hey-howya-doin' scenes I've ever been to.

Maybe they smoke up all the meth BEFORE the show.

just watched the video, honestly it was pretty hilarious and maybe like 40% righteous

he did seem to be slurring his words to me tho, for whatever that's worth

Oh certainly! The "outburst" didn't even seem that fucking bad!

Hm. Could just be his English accent tho?

Love his face after 'Look at that fucking sign right there. One. Minute.'

And then the sign says "one minutes". Loved that.

In England, they add an "s" to "minute," like "maths."

his english accent??

it was a joke on the fact that he sings with a fake accent

o

At about 1:00, he lapses into British accent with "fuckin' jow-kin'"

I mean, it's Green Day British, I don't want to offend any of our boardmates.

did anyone else get a pro-wrestling vibe from that video? felt like the camera would cut away to vince mcmahon fuming backstage.

"Warner Brothers Records and its subsidiaries are not responsible for the behavior and opinions of its musicians. Green Day and its management offers its apology and has announced that lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong has been sent to a rehabilitation center for being a BAD ASS."

lol philip

smashing guitar on stage is banal.
he should have been getting down there and smash the sign itself!

I work for F3nd3r and that Dirnt bass was just sent to him and was a prototype :)

XD Oh man, so has the office been all up in arms?

Nah, it's pretty badass to everyone! We are hoping we can get that back for posterity.

You should have the team build a breakaway guitar so that people on a budget can have the satisfaction of smashing them but are able to reassemble them later.

seeing as you mentioned that... I've not seen a guitar smashed irl for a while, do the necks always break away this cleanly...?

gibsons do

which guitars actually smash instead of just the neck breaking off? does the wood have to be hickory?

it's weird how Billie Joe seems to have not only totally avoided the common advanced-aging ravages of prolonged meth use, he actually looks like he has not aged at all

it's called make up

question from a uk'r who knows nothing re the people behind this corp shyte :

was this broadcast live, or, edited and pre airing edit meant the good'old folks missed this rant ?

if live, then fair play, it's a blast of 'tude that is rarely seen these days, and almost makes me want to discover an album by this lot, if however, this was recorded, then f*ck what's the point.

and i'm sorry, but the story re substance abuse came out way to quickly

- seems like a cover your ass story as opposed to just admitting that the band were seriously f*cked off with being messed about.

i mean in pr terms what's the best hit : mid life hissy fit vs drugs related outburst

?

Rickenbackers.

mid life hissy fit

new album title iirc

Do you have the time
While you have nice white wine

Wait hold on

The Green Day Angry Birds game on Facebook has been updated with new levels and another new song preview.

...Angry Birds game.

As I've been muttering elsewhere, hope you get to fling a guylinered bird screaming about doing this since 1988.

Punk as fuck.

mark the iheartradio festival wasn't televised, the youtube is from a webcast

amuses me that the album they just put out as this news broke has billie joe's face on the cover with the eyes x'd out

oh wow man

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Who_Are_You_album_cover.JPG

also a week or two before all this they cancelled a show for undisclosed billie joe 'medical' reasons so it's not totally out of the blue (xpost)

have to respect cartoon caricatures that accurately depict the bags under each band member's eyes

:o

I read this wrong and thought, "so behind the times, never played Anrgy Birds and I don't even know who guy line red bird is."

new album is "how many times are they going to write the same songs with newish vocal melodies over and over again?"

lol i hadn't even heard the "count the circles around my eyes" line on the album when i posted this.

Goddam, Paul Westerberg sang "Let's count the rings around my eyes" motherfuckin' 28 years ago.

Love these guys, but they have to learn how to steal better.

yeah that's pretty blatant

Just rebels without a clue.

lol i was wondering why that line felt familiar
