Green Day Questions and Answers Thread.

Oops, sorry about that I didn't read the question right. I just checked the EPK 2000, and all it said was it's their engineer named Tone.

[font=4][color=steelblue][size=72] ok so my 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours CD, the enhanced one I bought a while ago, well, when I first played it in my laptop it worked, ya know, the special features I mean. But I tried playing it recently for the features and it didn't work, I mean, the laptop knows it's in here, because the CD shows up on iTunes and Windows Player that it's in here. So I bought another one. That one won't do it either! So I figure it's something to do with my laptop. Anyone know wtf happened?

I was wondering......since we don't have our favorite Green Day song in our profiles anymore......we should FINALLY make a thread about! So, how 'bout?

Well, isn't that kind of the "What GD song can't you live without" thread?

Oh, I guess so.

Could somebody give me a YouTube link of the American Idiot video? The old one. The one with the flash cards and the girl dancing in that red, white and blue outfit.

I've only seen that video once, and I'd love to see it again. Thanks.

That girl is a spoof from Bob Dylan.


And it's from the short making of American Idiot.

Ohhh, okay. Thanks.

i have a question about green day. I don't know if it was asked before but i'm going to ask again. Why did green day start wearing eyeliner and black shirts and ties for American Idiot. I still don't get it. Were they comforming or trying to make money?
i like American Idiot and Gren day a lot I'm just a confused fan. im not trying to start and argument so lets keep it peaceful!!!

They wanted to create a "look" that went with the album, it went with the artwork and the whole theme of American Idiot and the classic "rock" look. They also wanted to wear a uniform so that their onstage performances made more of an impact.

But Billie has been wearing the black shirt and red ties for years, you can go back as far as 93/94 and he is wearing the same thing.

What would they have been conforming to and how does the fact that the band members wear a similar thing contribute to making money?

Do any of you know if GD supports downloading music or what they think about it? Just curious. Thanks

Billie Joe: "I think it is okay to preview music before you buy it. People want to find out if an album is more than a piece of crap before they spend their money on it. "Illegal downloading" was like swapping tapes when I was a kid, its always going to happen and I dont think its a big deal, its not as if anyone's dying or anything."

the reason i thought it was a form of conforming because there was a lot of alt, rock bands doing the black eyeliner and spikey hair and black shirt and red tie.i thought maybe they did it so they get a bigger fan base (and i was right i think everyone knows who green day is now) and it was just a thought that maybe it was to get more money and this is what a lot of people think about green day. I personally don't think this. I think that they truelly love music like Billie Joe said in an interveiw a few years ago that green days always trying to change their sound to thier music.

What other band was doing "the black eyeliner and spikey hair and black shirt and red tie" in 2004?

Like Good Charlotte also MCR and papa roach and the killers it was all around this time many rock band were doing the whole spikey hair and eyeliner thing
i just name like 3 bands i dont really like

^ actually I think Green Day did that before them.. could be wrong though.

Yes, it's Tre. I'm not sure if that's his username or not, though.
