Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)

Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, vocals) received slings and arrows from obstinate punk fans when his band Green Day leapt from the underground and onto MTV in 1994. Born on February 17, 1972, in Berkeley, CA, Armstrong is the youngest of six children; his father died from lung cancer when he was only ten. Armstrong formed Sweet Children in 1987 with bassist Mike Dirnt. The group's name became Green Day in 1989, and Al Sobrante (drums) joined the band, eventually replaced by Tre Cool

Adam Lazzara (Taking Back Sunday)

Birthday: I was born on a beautiful sunny day in a small southern town that goes by the name of shefeild alabama on september 22 of 1981.

Whats in your cd player right now? a record by a band named "lucero" called "that much farther west" and a dance jam record by a band calld phoenix.

How much money is in your wallet? ha ha..my rock n roll paycheck leaves me with roughly 13 dollars and two dimes...a few receipts...

What do you have under your bed?
empty guitar cases...dirty clothes and ho's.

What does the tattoo on your elbow say? it reads "next time that star shoots across the sky.." it is part of a line from a song written by my favorite band of all time LIFETIME...it comes form the album "Hello Bastards"

What is your favorite deli meat? i fully enjoy smoked chicken breast in the sliced meat form though turkey is also very delicious...

Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday)

Birthday:  July 27

What kind of dinosaur is your favorite?  The Sleepasaurus

Favorite Seinfield Episoide? I like the one with George and "shrinkage".  I felt for that guy.

Have you ever not payed a parking ticket? Not really.  I've gone to ticket court plenty of times and gotten out of paying.

Would you rather be put to death by them playing the song “Who Let the Dogs Out” or  “Like a Virgin”? I really can't stand Madonna, so "Dawgs" would be better.  Plus I could breakdance.

Golden Girls or Mama's Family? Mama's Family is classic and reminds me of a time in my life, but it really, really sucked.  Her son was so freakin' stupid.
