Agreed.

Billie + short sleeved shirts will be the death of me *__*

Billie and Norah's "Kentucky" is being used in commercials for the Kentucky Derby this weekend. I saw a short ad during the Tonight Show.

Kentucky Derby 2014: Save The Date: Featuring Billie Joe + Norah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVV5pszoQ7c

I really admit the Demo version is really growing on me. The first time I heard that I thought the fancy guitar was a little unnecessary, but on second thought, maybe the version on Uno was too stripped-down. Oh, and about State of Shock again: I think that song really proves that Billie tends to be better singing about himself and his personal problems or opinions. I don't know, "I'm going into a state of shock" or "I'm too tired to be bored, I'm too bored to be tired" just strikes me as being more (I don't know the right word to use here) 'authentic' than "Wanna be your troublemaker" or "Someone kill the DJ."

It's amazing just how much Mikes vocals transform the sound of that song. Though it's still a pretty poor song.

So I just remembered how awesome this is.

Short sleeves

Seems to be an unpopular opinion in this thread but I find stating your opinion on an album as if it's a fact and talking down to those who disagree about it as if your taste in albums is objectively superior so they have to justify their inferior taste to be quite arrogant and unnecessary. And yeah, Green Day isn't famous and unpopular bands sell out 70,000 seat stadiums When I first heard their early stuff it was kind of like that for me because I'd never listened to rough sounding recordings like that of any band. So it was quite a shock having been used to top quality recordings from them and I had to get used to that sound so that I could actually appreciate the songs instead of just noticing the rough finish of them. Doesn't take long though and worth doing!

Who turned on the April Fool's Day spelling filter?

Boooooo

I like the demo version a lot. The difference the guitar tone and Mike's vocals make is enormous.

I like Carpe Diem

November 2001 - Tonight Show with Jay Leno:

Yep. Karl Marx was a massive Green Day fan. But yeah, to say they're not famous anymore is ridiculous, but I suspect troll mode was fully engaged.

It's an outrageous claim to say that Green Day isn't famous. They might not be popular now, but Green Day has already built a huge reputation and fame. Everyone knows who Green Day is.

amanda ‏@breakingjarpad 16h This is the picture my dad took of Billie Joe Armstrong back in like November when he was on his lunch break bless

Nah, that's more like "Longview". EDIT: sorry Tom, didn't see the above post.

Blame Lone. You mean it wasn't to start with?

Believe me when I say no one will ever take the place you've made for yourself here. Believe me when I say no one will ever take the place you've made for yourself here.

I have been replaced on this thread by Tighwad Hill. My existence is now meaningless.

Welcome to Unpopular Opinions. Our battles are borne out of love. Unless NimrodJimrod initiates it.

If you don't like having your opinion reasonably questioned, you're in the wrong thread.

I don't see how an album containing 21st Century Breakdown, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere, Viva La Gloria, Christian's Inferno, East Jesus Nowhere, Peacemaker, Last Of The American Girls, Murder City, Little Girl, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, The Static Age, American Eulogy or See The Light can be considered slow moving. It only has four slow songs out of 18 on it, and one of them (Restless Heart Syndrome) is one of the best things they've ever done. If you want a punk album, Green Day aren't exactly the right place to start. I don't think they're trying to sound like anything in particular, and I don't understand the logic of disliking music because of what it isn't trying to be.

Exactly, Toht's face is melting because he can't handle the pure epicness of the sound being blasted at him.

So moving on... How is the Trilogy better than Breakdown, other than it's not?

expand their music to keep on keepin on! 1. The Trilogy was a reduction, not an expansion. Their still doing well as a band 2. HA! The Trilogy tanked, as you're well aware. unless your as successful as them i would say dont judge them! 3. I absolutely loathe that argument. I can't cook, but I know a shitty burger if I eat it. a famous band 4. They're not really famous at this point, hate to break it to you. you all love green day so stop hatin on em so much 5. We love them, but it's not a blind love. We're allowed to dislike stuff they put out rather than slavishly devoting ourselves to everything Billie vomits out, and quite honestly that makes us more discerning and better fans. Also, that spelling made my eyes bleed.

why didn't u include a trigger warning omg i got flashbacks of leeds fest

THAT is what you find to complain about in the last few posts?

Well, no.

If you have to force yourself to listen to something you can't think it's that good in the first place.

Bit lengthy but: See You Tonight (intro) 1. Welcome to Paradise 2. Nuclear Family 3. Holiday 4. East Jesus Nowhere 5. Stop When The Red Lights Flash 6. Letterbomb 7. Give Me Novacaine 8. Are We the Waiting/ St. Jimmy 9. Let Yourself Go 10. Boulevard of Broken Dreams 11. Wake Me Up When September Ends 12. Nice Guys Finish Last 13. Waiting 14. Scattered 15. J.A.R. 16. Before the Lobotomy 17. Burnout 18. 2000 Light Years Away 19. Chump 20. Longview 21. Stuck With Me 22. Hitchin' a Ride 23. Brain Stew 24. Panic Song 25. Basket Case 26. She 27. F.O.D. 28. 99 Revolutions 29. American Idiot Encore 1 Song of the Century 30. 21st Century Breakdown 31. When I Come Around 32. Dirty Rotten Bastards 33. Minority Encore 2 34. Going to Pasalaqua 35. Jesus of Suburbia 36. Homecoming Encore 3 37. Working Class Hero 38. Last Night On Earth 39. Macys Day Parade 40. Redundant 41. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

Basically what C-dawg said. Everyone shits themselves over the song and honestly it's not that great. It's awkward, long, drawn out and its melody is rather generic. What do the lyrics even mean? Old toys This plastic heart Loners and fools Are tearing me apart Bad luck Bitters and soda Anguish and shame The modern fool Bad sex Buy me a train wreck Something for my troubled mind ...? People's reaction to it reminds of me DRB. It's not THAT good, and seems to try a bit hard to be more epic than it should be. I can think of plenty of more emotional, relatable songs with more epic tension or whatever than Brutal Love. Plus, they tried swapping Good Riddance for it as a concert-closer. Um, fuck you. No.

Brutal Love sucks.

I'm sorry but the line "you led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink, swallowing my pride and I never even got a taste" is brilliant and the guitar and bass harmonies are unlike anything they've done

Ashley is severely underrated
