But being rich can ease his pain, I'm sure.

I've seen Green Day live five times, and the last time I saw them they picked members of the crowd to form a band on stage to play the song 'Knowledge', and he picked me to play bass. How many other bands give their fans an opprotunity like that? I've talked too him also and I must say he is one of the most friendly, down-too-earth people I have ever met. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Mexico | | yo tambien... y muy bien!... 
is just that i think that i´m very exposed to english, took classes since i was 9 years old, 99% of my CD collection is from bands that sing in english, i spend most of my "internet time" on english forums and pages and most TV i watch is in english.
also my look doesn´t help... i´m all white and blonde... everyone i know tell me that they thought i was a "Gringo" when they first met me 
Ok back to Dirnt:
He´s good! i remember playing lots of Green Day songs on my first year on Bass...
