Yeah, exactly. It's not even so much that the Trilogy is bad per se (which it kind of is, as I've said countless times), but the biggest issue is that we just expect so much better from Green Day and it's a big disappointment that it's not better. It's actually kind of a compliment when you think about it.1 point

I might be able to post some of the LQ versions since the Picture Threads (and some of the other threads) have been opened up to guests.1 point

Mike doing more vocals. You dont hear him as much on trilogy songs like I could in past albums. You know what I mean so don't try and be difficult.1 point
-
Billie doesn't do it all, Mike has plenty of backing vocals on the trilogy and Billie's done his own on past albums as well. This isn't the first time.1 point

I think the trilogy would of been much much better if mike was doing the backing vocals instead of Billie doing it all. I don't mind the filters all that much, some songs are even better with it, but I like hearing some variety in the vocals with Mike coming in.1 point

I totally get what you're saying, and I agree. I much prefer listening to their newer material than older, it's just more appealing to me these days. I haven't listened to an older GD album in quite while, actually. But that's just because of my ongoing love affair with the trilogy.1 point

This. I think a lot of people on this forum have an idyllic view of their music-making process. "They do it cause they luuuv it, they don't care what anyone thinks!" Their jobs, per se, are to make and sell music. They know that, and if they were just making music for the sake of loving it, one could argue they wouldn't have signed onto a major record label with the intent to sell a shitton of records and get rich. So if they don't sell music, they're failing at their jobs. And they know that. There's no way they "don't care," as much as everyone here would like to think that's true. That's evident in their lack of trilogy promotion post-rehab and lack of significant acknowledgment of the music in their setlist. "Eh, this didn't work, fuck it, let's try something else some other time..."1 point

Maybe they don't actually care what fans think of their efforts though? Not enough to let it affect what music they make or whether they make it anyway. I get the impression that they feel driven to make music that they like and that they enjoy making, not that caters to what fans want/expect. I'd say they should go on doing what they want and it's a nice bonus if fans like it and tough luck if they don't1 point

I still scream for him now, even louder than I did when I first saw him He does nothing but getting cuter every day Just like Mikey and Tré ARMS.1 point

Why is he doing this?! He doesn't even look like himself when he has a beard! If anyone hasn't noticed, I really hate facial hair... especially on Billie!1 point

Green Day number 1 on Rolling Stone's 1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year If Pearl Jam were too epic was for you, Nirvana too oblique, if your suburban teen inertia sprang from tedium not trauma — well, these nagging brats were here to spill hair dye on your living room carpet. Tré Cool's stop-start drum swats, Mike Dirnt's back-talk bass melodies, Billie Joe Armstong's nuanced machine-gun chording — each element in these 15 simple little tunes (save the goof bonus track) had a twitchy precision that'd get a fancier band called "arty." The noodling bass line for "Longview" may be Mingus compared to the heavy-thumbed pulse Dee Dee Ramone bequeathed to punk's low-end, but it's also every bit as aimless as a song about jerking off in front of the TV demands. "Basketcase" belittles its own stoner panic, "When I Come Around" is a punchy shrug of lovers' squabble, and the fierce sweep of "Welcome to Paradise" hints at the rock operas to come once they grew up to become a fancier, even artier band.

As much as I love AI as an album, they're already borderline flogging a dead horse. A movie would just be ridiculous.1 point

I didn't like the amount of times Billie used the word fuck on Uno or Dos, rather I think the amount of fucks he gave on Tre was just right.1 point

Hot Dayum. Here's an opinion on here: Green Day sucks. At least nowadays, they do. The songwriting has gotten very sloppy and makes no sense. I guess I'm more of a fan of the rock operas. If they continue in the writing direction of the trilogy, I'd have now choice but to stop following the band.1 point

I had a dream last night that I was on this little island off the coast of Bermuda. There were literally less than 30 families living on this island but it was quite developed and Green Day was visiting there. It was really weird. I remember a parade or something going through the middle of this tiny island and there was a red carpet and the real Tre Cool was holding a fake Tre Cool and everyone was asking the fake one for autographs and stuff. After I got past this, Green Day went into this tiny room with mattresses all over the floor and they all went to sleep. I don't even know.... the room had a big window on the door but it was covered by those slit blind things, so you could like barely see in and I remember taking this cute picture on my phone of Green Day all asleep in their clothes. This was a really strange dream, I was a creeper in it!1 point
