YOU.
001. What the hell's your name? Bridget-Lee Gribble.
002. Age & Location? I'm 15, and I'm from Western Australia. G'day....
003. How did you find out about us, the illustrious Green Day Assholes? favorite_son.
004. Mustard? Fo shiz my niz.
005. What is your favorite kind of candy? You can list a few. Sour Skittles, Jungle Chews, And PEPPERMINT FREDDOS!!
006. What is the absolute dumbest thing you have ever done, moron? Dumbest thing ever? Shit, that's hard....A couple of years back a friend and I got blind drunk and started driving around her grandpas scooter thing. (what do you call those things anyway?) I was sitting on her lap, and I was in control. We got out of her gate, and as we approached the driveway, i put it on full speed and attempted to jump the gutter. It flipped, I jumped, smacked my head on her dads car, and my friend fell to the ground and the scooter landed on her. We both passed out, and when we woke up, my head was dripping blood and her stomach had a massive bruise. I've done many stupid things...
007. If you could torture anyone and get away with it. Who would you torture, how would you do it (be creative!), and why? (If you say George W. Bush or Good Charlotte or any pop artist or actor/actress I will personally come to your house and pull out your toenails, or well, have someone do it for me because that's fucking disgusting, but you get what I'm trying to say here. We want people who REALLY should be slapped in the face, come on now.) I get what you're saying about the toenails. I hate feet. This is quite a hard question...I would torture whoever came up with the idea of making that car noise thing (that seemed hilarious when I was about 11) into a 'Crazy Frog' Character, Song, Ringtone, Album, Movie, Whatever they've made out of it. That thing drives me fucking beserk. And it's quiet scary, too.
008. Who's one person you admire that has nothing to do with Green Day, and why. I admire Andy Warhol. He's a great artist, and every peice of art he has made never fails to appeal to me. And I admire Trey Parker and Matt Stone, for creating the single best tv show (South Park), and the single best movie (Team America, World Police.) in the whole world. Those guys are genius, and I have no idea how they come up with what they do. I would love to do that sort of thing, But I could never live up to their ways.
009. What else are you into other than Green Day/music? Um I play the drums, I spose that's classified as music though, I'm into Photography, Art (Especially digital. DeviantArt is the best place on earth.), Photoshopping, Travelling (I don't do much of it, but it fascinates me, and when school is done with, there is no doubt I will be going everywhere), Being with friends, Filming, Partying, Web Design and the like.
010. What's your favorite comic strip (internet [give us a link if that's the case] or otherwise)?
Ghost World. Although i'm pretty sure they don't make it anymore. They made a movie out of it, too.
011. KEYBOARD MASH, YOU DIRTY WHORE. (Bonus points if you can impress Kaitlyn the mod):
You mean like THIS BBEDTEDEDUIWDBHJQKEGIDLjh3et555117^%%!$4171901--1617171!!```@@@33nHFETYWFYTEdvedgedgedUUYEDGEDEHDHEDGEUTFDTYEFWTDFWFGGWRYGFYURYFGR984756463920jnbs.fd'n]mj[g/f.dsksazuwqvdadwqeqew1423294nrf84t4hed84et4e66266666666sdhwefvgwrhkfkregfyuagrwyugqrwjhgfhJGUYFQWUTEDgydGYEGDYGEeOMGGgGG1!!!;;!!
012. What are your favorite restaurants? Tell us all, the fancy, the ghetto.. go on now.
Restaurants? Haha fuck that I'm cool with McD's and Burger King (Although it's called Hungry Jacks here.) Nandos is the best, too.
013. List a couple favorite..
Books; Green Eggs And Ham, Cat In The Hat, Hop On Pop...
Magazines; Q, Rolling Stone, I pretty much just buy magazines if I see something I like in them.
Movies; Team America World Police, Baseketball, Jackass, Napoleon Dynamite, Billy Madison, Sid And Nancy, And all the old Disney movies.
Television shows; Hmm Yay! South Park, Daria, Kath And Kim (ssh..), The Simpsons, Family Guy, Happy Tree Friends and Looney Tunes :)
Websites; GDA, of course, DeviantArt (This link goes to mine.), Go Fug Yourself, and of course Livejournal.
014. Anything else about you we should know about?
I can suck my own.
015. MAN I LOVE ZOMBIES, don't you? I mean, who doesn't like zombies?! I want to be a zombie when I grow up. Really? I was always the type to love Mummys. Although Zombies are pretty shaweet.
YOUR MUSIC
016. Who would be your favorite if it wasn't Green Day? Why?
The Distillers. Why not? I would say Pinhead Gunpowder but I don't think I'm allowed Green Day related things.
017. What other bands do you like? Green Day related bands do not count. No more than ten bands please, so make it good.
Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Bikini Kill, The Strokes, The Clash, Iggy And The Stooges, Rancid, Nirvana, The Explosion.
018. List some of your favorite songs (by those other bands or not, whichever you'd like). No more than ten. I'll just go by the artists I put above..I have too many favourite songs.
Hole - Gutless
Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
Bikini Kill - Strawberry Julius
The Strokes - New York City Cops
The Clash - Train In Vain
Iggy And The Stooges - Lust For Life
Rancid - Salvation or Tropical London. Can't pick.
Nirvana - In Bloom or Sliver. " "
The Explosion - Filthy Insane
019.Name a couple of your favorite (non Green Day) music videos and why
Drain The Blood - The Distillers....It's the hottest video in the world, and I love how it was shot.
Violet - Hole..This is just great. I love the art of it all, How they kept the same lighting and atmosphere during the whole thing, And I love how they make Courtney out of time purposely.
020. Best concert/show you've ever been to (that wasn't a Green Day show) and why?
Nobody great has come here yet (Apart from Green Day.), and nobody could beat them. But i've seen The Living End about 40000000 times, and they are always great. They get better and better every single time. I saw Oasis, The Foo Fighters, and The Kaiser Chiefs a couple of weeks ago. Oasis were good, Foo Fighters didn't meet expectations, and The Kaiser Chiefs were brilliant. They worked the whole crowd.
021. Met anyone from any bands? Tell us about your best/favorite encounter with any other bands.
No, I haven't. :(
022. What band do you hate so much that you want to rip your arm off just so you have something to beat them with and why? (Give a good reason or I'll rip YOUR arm off just so I have something to beat you with -- THIS MUST BE A BAND [again, no Good Charlotte or MCR or any shit like that, blah blah blah, boring, we don't care] No pop/rap/R&B/country artists/groups/bands, those are all so overplayed I want to vomit) Hmm, so what do I say to this? MCR was definately sitting in my mind. I really hate The Used. I don't know how it's classified music, when it all sounds the same. It sounds like they've used one song over and over again, but changed the location of the chords and the beats etc. The vocalists voice drills my head everytime i hear it. It's like a little NNNNEEEEEEEE over and over and over. And then comes the pointless YAYYRRRRRRR in the middle of the song.
023. Worst show/concert you've ever been too and why?
My friend dragged me to a local band a year or so ago. They were called Stars Don't Fall or something. They were terrible. Whiney and shitty, again with the drilling in my head.
024. To end on a good note... Who are some of your other musical heros of the sort and why?
Courtney Love. Her lyrics are amazing, I have no idea as to how she comes up with a lot of them. And her voice is great.
YOUR GREEN DAY HISTORY/FAVORITES/ECT.
025. How long have you been a diehard Green Day fan? You are die hard, right? Since Minority, which would've been 2000, if i'm correct?
026. How did you get into them? List the first song you heard, what made you decide you wanted to hear more by them, what was your first impression, ect... give us details, bitch. I kept hearing Minority on the radio. At first it was one of those "Yeah, it's not bad" songs, and it was always in my head. I grew to love it from it being in my head 24-7. I bought Warning, then Dad bought me Dookie and Nimrod for Christmas that year. I realised I recognised a lot of their music, but never really knew who sung it or took the time to listen to it. Ever since my obsession has only grew and grew.
027. Have you seen them live? How many times? Include a favorite live moment if you have seen them. I've only seen them once. You see, I live in the most distanced part of Australia. They came once here, unfortunately that was before I started liking them, otherwise I would've gone. But they came around March last year, And it was the greatest. I was right up front, on the barrier, And it was the best day of my whole life. I'm hoping they come again.
028. If you could ask each one of the guys one question, what would you ask them. (And DON'T ask about the fucking Bullwinkle or Cat will pour bleach down your throat and light you on fire.)
I swear this runs through my mind at least twice a day. I have no fucking clue what I would ask them. Actually, I might ask if I could jam with them for a while. That would be so kick ass.
029. What is your least favorite (or one that you fucking hate) Green Day song, and why. Extraordinary Girl. The music skill in it is great, of course, But it just doesnt do anything for me. You could say it bores me.
030. You know those random weird noises that Billie makes in some songs? Which one is your favorite and why? Spell it out. Yes, there are a few different ones. One that sounds like HOOOOOO(Longview). It sounds like hes thrusting. Gahhh..
031. What is your favorite song that Green Day has covered?
I downloaded a live quick version of I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend by The Ramones. They only do a little bit of it, before they break into Don't Leave Me, but it is the best. The way Billie sings "I wanna be your BAII-Friend!" gets to me.
032. Give us a favorite Green Day lyric or two.
See a young girl so soft and blonde, Doesn't attack me but she did once, Intoxications in her veins, Sweet young boy plays with her brain...from Sweet Children.
033. Any favorite quotes from the guys?
I Really, REALLY overuse "I Can Suck My Own!". I have no idea why, I just find it so fucking hilarious.
034. What do you hate most about non-asshole Green Day fans?
That they amuse me nowhere near as much as the assholes do. And the assholes tend to have better taste in music, for some strange reason.
035. What is your opinion on the American Idiot album?
It's a great album, and I think it's definately a product of the boys hiding what they're capable of for such a long time, then just exploding all at once.
036. Who is your favorite character from the American Idiot "story", and why? Watsername. It's because we don't know nearly as much about her as we do Jimmy/Jesus Of Suburbia, and she seems interesting because she's such a mystery.
037. What is your favorite Green Day member tattoo? List the tattoo(s), who it belongs too, and why it's your favorite. The Jesus Christ Superstar logo Billie-Joe has on the back of his arm. Just below his wrist. I don't know what that part is called. Te placing is perfect, I love tattoos on that area. I also like the stars he has on his upper left arm (I think it's his left, I'm terrible with Lefts and Rights and such..).
038. Any favorite Green Day tv "special" or appearance? Why?
They did Live At Goat Island in 2000 when they toured Australia. It was on Channel V. It was superb. Tre chucked his drums in the water, and Billie was swearing at a passing boat, simple because it was blocking his view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They played all their best songs. I have it on tape somewhere....
039. Any favorite Green Day interview? Why? If you can find it online a link will get you bonus points! (maybe... *snicker*)
Yet another Australian one. It was around the same time they played Goat Island, as i mentioned before. They were playing the Livid festival. It wasn't much of an interview, as the 3 boys and a guard ignored the interviewer to attempt to tip the interviewers car. Sadly, it didn't work, but it was funny. I don't have the link to it, but I could upload it if anybody REALLY BADLY wants it?
040. which member of green day would you most like to see turned into a zombie (or that would make the best zombie.. AND WHY)? Mike. I mean, who wouldn't love to see Mike running around biting everybody?I just think he's more of a Killer Zombie Type than Billie or Tre.
041. How big of a Green Day geek are you REALLY? Do you smile like a maniac when you see them on television? Or watch the same program whenever it gets re-aired even though you've seen it a million times over and probably have it on tape? Do you tape (or download, I guess) every single little thing they appear on? Things like that. Give another example BESIDES THESE. You are offering yourself up to ridicule by the Assholes if it's something we find stupid, so no crying if that happens. Go ahead now...
I agree with all of the above. My alarm clock on my phone is set to the Billie Joe orgasming on stage noise during Hitchin A Ride. My message tone is Tre declaring he can suck his own. Whenever they are on television i tell everybody who is the least bit interested, and it leaves me floating for the rest of the day. Every single person in my school never asks anybody but me a question about Green Day. They know I can beat everybody else who thinks they know but they don't really. And everybody always tells me every little tiny Green Day related thing that happened during their day. And I get excited about it. God, I'm sad.
FUNTIME WITH LISTS!
042. Give us a few reasons per album about why you love it so much, or what makes it stand out to you, ect. Make sure you write something about all of the albums (INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS DOES NOT COUNT. I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE IF YOU ADD IT.), because you own them all, right?
1,039 SOSH - They have to start somewhere. And they started here. Although this album makes them sound like they've been at it for years longer than they really have. But the sound is great, It makes them sound really raw. It's sorta like Green Day uncut. The drums aren't that great, though. You can tell by listening to this album that Green Day got their influences from the likes of The Ramones, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers etc etc.
Kerplunk! - This is my favourite. I'm surprised this album wasn't as big as Dookie, i'm surprised they weren't offered a deal before this album. This is where they really started to take off. The music is fantastic, and I think it's made even better by the fact that this was Tre's first album with the boys. This album should be made important in rock music history. The lyrics are the icing on the cake for this album, The cake wouldn't work without the icing. This is definately an album that a lot of teenagers can relate too.
Dookie - This is where they really took off. But honestly, I don't see how this appealed to more kids then Kerplunk! did. It's a fucking great cd, I could say everything I said about Kerplunk! to this. Music is great, lyrics are great, bla bla bla. I love it.
Insomniac - Haha I was waiting to get to this one. This album is definately their most angriest, it makes you want to jump around. My mum never fails to whinge when I put this cd on. Great material. And it sounds great turned up to the maximum. It's loud, it's fast, and it's definately a lot of fucking fun. I wish they would play more Insomniac material at concerts, because the moshpits would go crazy.
Nimrod - You can tell this is where the boys started to experiment. A lot of people would say Warning was where they completely changed their sound. But if you listened to this album, they took caution, and used songs off this album to sort of ease their fans into what was coming next. I like this album, because every single song on it sounds different. Theres a mix of fast, medium, slow, angry, happy, every emotion possible.
Warning - This is where you get to see the multi instrumental talents of our boys more and more. Every song has some sort of different instrument rather than bass, guitar and drums chucked in. I especially enjoy the piano accordion stylings of Tre. Misery is a great song, we did a drama scene to it.
Shenanigans - Oh yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Mmm. Yummy. I love this album. You can sort of tell what BSides came from which Green Day musical time period. And you can leave this album to replay over and over and there's something for everybody on it.
American Idiot - I've already written my view on this one, didn't i?
043. Name your favorite music video from each of these albums and why
Dookie - Longview. Just the way Billie is snarling, And how Mikes facial expressions amuse me to no end, and how Tre seems so concentrated. The way they all look. It's so god damn hot.
Insomniac - Jaded. It makes me jump and makes me want to take drugs so I can feel the feeling inside this video.
Nimrod - Redundant. It's great how it looks so old fashioned. I never know where to look, because theres so many people doing so many different things, yet they're doing the same thing over and over?
Warning - Warning. Who doesn't love the video for that? Everybody loves a clumsy guy.
American Idiot - Holiday. I love dressups. Especially when it's Green Day.
044. Because Kaitlyn and Lint are fucked in the brain: equate each member with an animal/creature (of the night, if you wish)/ect and explain why. (If you use the term sexy beast we will eat your liver in a fondue, don't even think about it.)
Billie; A possum. A black one, preferably. They have big eyes, they're energetic, and they're small. Need I say more?
Jason Freese; He reminds me of those hairless cats. I have no clue why, But when I thought of him, I thought of a hairless cat.
Jason White; Oh he's definately a lion. The hair. Except he come's across a bit shy, so maybe he could be a shy lion.
Mike; A bat. He has pointy teeth. But i love the pointy teeth, don't get me wrong.
Tre; A chipmunk. The voice. And the attitude. I love chipmunks.
045. (in no particular order) List your personal top 3 Green Day "locations" you'd like to go to (ie; Christie Road, ect.) and why.
One; You said it, Christie Road. It seems relaxing, a getaway place. And I like train tracks.
Two; 7-11. I'm hungry.
Three; Pasalacqua. Where the hell is it? I'd like to find out.
046. What is your favorite song... (you can list up to 3 for each category)
Guitar-wise? When I Come Around. I LOVE that riff.
Bass-wise? Longview. If I ever learn one song on bass, It would be that!
Drum-wise? Basketcase is REALLY fun to play. So I will say that.
Vocal-wise? Macys Day Parade. Or Dominated Love Slave. Haha.
Lyric-wise? Sweet Children.
047. And since we can't humiliate you and make you do an interpretive dance to amuse us... What rad present would you buy for our totally awesome moderators? Make it good, loser.
Choady; Some Ear Drops
Lintsay; Some Eye Drops
Kaitlyn; Some Lemon Drops
YOUR GREEN DAY KNOWLEDGE.
NO CHEATING. WE WILL FIND OUT. AND THEN HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE THE FILTHY NO GOOD PIECE OF CRAP YOU ARE, YOU DIRTY LIAR.
049. List all REAL NAMES of the bandmembers (including ex-members). Yes, this question is played out, but do we care? No. List them.
Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Ryan Pritchard, Frank Edwin Wright The Third, John Kiffmeyer
050. Name some Green Day related bands. Extra points if you can name all 4 that I'm thinking of.
Pinhead Gunpowder. The Network. The Lookouts. Screeching Weasel??
051. Billie cowrote a song for another band back in the early to mid nineties. Name the song and the band. I honestly have no freaking clue. Somebody please enlighten me.
052. Who was the song "Reject" written about? That mother that wrote in and complained about the tape her son recieved.
053. Who is Ronnie Blake and where is he originally from? Trumpet player. LONDON ENGLAND!
054. What beverage out of beer bottles does Green Day like best? MILK!
055. Collectively, how many children do the members of Green Day have? 5.
056. What is your opinion of Adrienne Armstrong? She is absolutely gorgeous, and she must be a great woman since Billie loves her so much.
057. Name one of the Armstrong family's former felines. (So basically name one of their dead cats). Zero, the one that died in the dryer!
058. Name at least two songs that Billie didn't write the lyrics to, if you know more, list them. J.A.R, Rock And Roll Girlfriend, Dominated Love Slave, Ha Ha You're Dead, D.U.I
059. Explain who the following people are and their relation to Green Day.
Timmy Chunks: ? Cool name, though.
Aaron Cometbus: He's out of Pinhead, isn't he?
Bill Schneider: ?
Steve Nesser: Adriennes Brother, he's a skater and used the Kerplunk flower on one of his decks.
Horatio Bojangles: What a name, haha. I've heard it before, but nothing springs to my mind right now.
FINAL QUESTION.
060. What makes you a Green Day asshole? Why should we pick you?
Don't beg and plead, it makes you look like a pathetic mortal.
What doesn't make me a Green Day asshole? Why shouldn't you pick me? And what if I wanted to beg and plead? You guys seem freaking awesome, so let me in.
EXTRA CREDIT!!!!!
This isn't an application requirement, but for our own personal enjoyment/amusement, this will not effect our votes any way at all... or will it? Dun dun dunnnnnn. ANYWAY...
Your mission: Draw a photo of Green Day on Windows Paint or an equivalent program if you have a Mac or whatever and post it here. (IT MUST BE WINDOWS PAINT. None of those fancy schmancy graphic programs. We fully support the hilarity added to artwork from the amazing shittyness of Windows Paint) You can draw it from a real photo, or a video screen shot, or just make up something... as long as it features all members of the band (or extra members of the band, we may or may not be partial to drawings including them...). Show us your stuff. USE YOUR IMAGINATION, BE CREATIVE!!!!!!!
Post it here:
*sniff* I do not have paint on my computer for some reason.
