Wednesday, June 1, 2005

Name: Elise

Age: 12

Location: New Lenox, IL

Sex: Female

How long have you been a Green Day fan: Well, I've always liked their songs, but I wouldn't consider myself a true fan until American Idiot came out, so since September '04, but I now have all of their albums.

What song do you like best: Wow. I don't know, I love them all! right now, probably Misery or Jesus of Suburbia
Why: Those songs are very unique, I like the story-telling effect I guess.

What is Green Day's best album: Probably American Idiot, because it makes such a statement.. or Nimrod because it has such a wide range of emotions.

What is the craziest thing you'd do to meet Green Day: Hmmm... pretty much anything if I had to. How bout, get a tattoo that says a random word, like 'Barbecue' on my stomach.

What Green Day tour(s) have you gone to: just American Idiot

Which one(s): on May 10th at Peoria and going to august 10 in Rosemont, which is great because it's 2 days before my birthday!

Who is your favorite member: Well, I love every one of them, including Jason and the back up instruments, but my favorite would have to be Tre Cool.
Why: He is hilarious and always knows how to make things fun. He is actually pretty smart and can be sentimental when he needs to be. He can always put humor into things too, such as falling off the pedestal in the WMUWSE video. Tre kind of reminds me of my self sometimes I guess. And I do love a man that can make me laugh. Plus, he has looks.

If Billie Joe was to give you advice on anything, what would you want him to tell you: Although I could never be as great as him, Billie would give me advice on guitar and songwriting. I think he has a real gift for that and he could share it with the young-folk.

Finally, describe Green Day with ONE word: godly
