The basket case video is a great example of 90s color and 90s music video style. I have always liked that one. I was in 6th grade I think and my first school dance might as well have been Dookie and smash on a loop

It genuinely had a profound effect on my childhood lol. I was already into art, but that started my love affair with bright colors.

I love the into whenever I see the words take warning together I always think of the opening horns of the cover.

Any time I see the word crowd I also will bust into singing it. That was my first favorite song where I had to listen to it 20 times a day to be happy and my mom would be like can you let the whole cd play or fixate on another song for a while.

That operation ivy album is so special. It is the roots of almost every single fave band I have had since.

Mailorder grunt to mailorder manager to accountant to running the joint as VP. Throw in some A&R and micromanaging graphics/production from time to time. :D

This was mostly "99-'09. But a little in '93-'94.

That's pretty cool.

Here's another Green Day anecdote
I saw them in 2004 on the American Idiot tour, which is an album I won't just sit and listen to but produced probably the best show I have ever seen in my life.
They do this thing during a lot of their shows where they pause a certain song halfway through and get people from the crowd to come up and finish playing it. The dude that they let play the guitar could clearly see that this was his Moment In Life, and at the end just started absolutely shredding that thing. I mean he was playing his fucking heart out. Song was over, but he was completely in the zone. One of the roadies came on stage to go stop him, and Billie Joe did a double take: "What are you doing? Don't interrupt a guy when he's rocking like that." They let him play out his solo AND THEN, after it was done and he was about to crawl back down into the crowd, Billie Joe stopped him and said "You know what dude? You can keep the guitar." They gave it to him then took him backstage so it wouldn't get stolen or ruined.
It was pretty amazing to see. The crowd went absolutely berserk.

I have always loved when bands do that kinda thing. I feel like I've seen a video of either that or an incident very similar on youtube. When someone sees they have the chance to make someone's day and they do it it makes my heart grow like the grinch. I know cook rock band steel panther does a come on stage and play at all their shows and you can tell that shit makes peoples year.

I also like small shows when lead singers lose their voice but no one's ready to go home so the mic just starts getting passed around.

Probably a reason why everytine I go to a show in the winter I get the plague

I haven't seen greenday in like 20 years now.

Knew some guys that were on Relapse records back in the day. Used to love all that kind of music. Botch, Cave-In, Dillinger Escape Plan, all that stuff.

Weird, since Oxbow was never a real seller. I tried to get Relapse to sign 'em after seeing the live show at the Neurot fest, but zero other people at the label liked the band. So they went with HH. Most of what I liked on HH was stuff they licensed from Relapse! Harvey Milk was the only other band he did I'd spend money on.

Part of why he released it for them. They could not find another label to release their album.

I am huge HH fan, or at least a huge fan of just about every band on their label. Isis, Old Man Gloom, Cave In, Converge, Botch, Big Business, Daughters. Definitely some I am forgetting haha.

Oh yeah? Who?

Ben Weinman isn't my biggest fan. lol. When Ire Works came out they insisted on putting a piece of extra print beneath the tray card on the CD, rather than simply making it part of the booklet (which was nothing but wasted space anyway). Initial pressing was like 100k, so just insertion charges were like 25k. I said no, unless the extra cost was recoupable from their royalties. The band insisted so off to press it went. Come royalty time I made sure it was deducted and he complained. I sent him the copy of the email that I'd saved and they ate that 25k. :cool:

Then when it was time to resign them I knew they were gonna bolt so I put together a list of reissue stuff I wanted to see happen, rather than make any real offer on a new deal. The guy running promotions and I went to his (mom's) house in NJ and we hit the local diner. Dude was offended that I assumed they were leaving. Awkward meeting for the remainder. But fuck, they'd done nothing but talk shit about us since prior to Miss Machine because they wanted us to let 'em go to a major, but nobody offered a deal that was worth it to us.

I think the ruby soho video had the biggest impact on me. I saw that and was like thats who I wanna be . Out come the wolves made me the person I am. I used to listen to that album on repeat and rock Mario all stars from the second I got home til bedtime

Ha! Makes sense. Eugene from Oxbow is a great dude. He turned me onto Pride and World Vale Tudo Championships back around 2001 or something.

Forgot about Big Business. Good band, although I'm much more of a Murder City Devils fan.
