How long have you been a Green Day fan?

Since 2000 when my cousin gave me the original Dookie CD because she had seen me admiring the cartoons on the front!

What song do you like best?

Paper Lanterns, I mean surely everybody can relate to "so when are all my troubles going to end? I'm understanding now that we are only friends" BUT next to that its probably gotta be Blood Sex and Booze! its just ACE "please don't make me beg, for blood sex and booze you give me" (personally I'd be waiting on hand and foot for any one of the Green Day boys!)

What is Green Day's best album?

For me its the amazing Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, simply because you can hear the influences of the Clash and the Sex Pistols and of course The Ramones

What is the craziest thing you'd do to meet Green Day?

There may be children reading this!!

What Green Day tour(s) have you gone to?

AMERICAN IDIOT in the Manchester evening news arena (Billie Joe's speech made me cry!) it was so moving that I found myself putting my hand up to say i could play guitar when everyone who's met me knows I blatantly cant!! and to put the icing on the cake, Billie Joe kissed the guy who could on stage (how I envy him....)

Who is your favorite member? Why?

MIKE DIRNT!  He's got a cafe called Rudy Can't Fail (inspired by the Clash song) and he's just pretty amazing in general after what he put up with as a kid and now of course he's a world famous rock star who wont take shit.

If Billie Joe was to give you advice on anything, what would you want him to tell you?

How to control a stage like he does! If you've Green Day live then you'll know what I mean.

Finally, describe Green Day with ONE word.
