She smashed the radio with the board of education Punk rock wasn't exactly radio-friendly when it first started. Turn up the static left of the state of the nation Before the skinheads showed up punk was primarily leftist. She's a rebel's forgotten son Punk was born out of a return-to-roots to rock music from the masturbation that is progressive, rock was considered "rebel" music for a while after it was born out of jazz. She is the first voice of the last ones in the line Punk wasn't made by or for the people in the upper classes, or "the first ones in line". Punk was very much the first time some people's voices were heard. She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive To drag the lake means to attempt to find something you lost, as in how you'd drag a net across the bottom of a lake to find something important your dumbass dropped in there. Punk revival, bro, going strong in the underground since its father died. Bring in the head of the government The dog ate the document Somebody shot the President And no one knows where Maria went? "Real" punk died out pretty quickly, fockin new wave, man.... Maria, Maria, Maria, Where did you go? Where did punk go? Your breath lacks the conviction No more real punk. All these poseurs ain't got no conviction. x_X_tRuPuNx5eVr_X_x Drawing the line in the dirt And then suddenly... this is punk, this isn't punk, you're not a real punk if you like ______, etc. Shit's all metaphor, man. Maria's a personification.

When you're on drugs, anything is a word! Although 'anything' is also a word when you're not on drugs, so I'm not sure about that.

Small, tough and good for doing tricks. I don't see a problem with his choice of metaphor.

How the fuck did I not know about this

With the older albums, I like the non-single songs more than the singles. One of My Lies is a favorite Kerplunk song. Having a Blast is my favorite Dookie song and I listen to it all the time. Panic song has got to in my top 10 favorite Green Day songs, I just love it, when Billie's vocals comes in and the guitar comes in heavy. The lyrics I just love. I know that this was posted on the previous forum but I really love the song. Reject also has to be in my top 10, great song, hands down. I just think it's amazing. Church on Sunday or Fashion Victim are my two favorite Warning songs. I think Warning didn't have a good choice in singles, besides Waiting is also a favorite. They could have chosen songs that would better suit radio airwaves or music videos. More promotion too could have lead to better sales with Warning, like the trilogy.

I think it refers to BMX tires, which from the side looks like boobs.

Hermione can keep her in-depth analyses of lines - we've definitely got to the bottom of this one!

Not for anyone with sense. And Winona Ryder.

Perhaps that's what Billie likes when it comes to boobs. That line makes perfect sense now.

Maybe he thinks that bikes look like tits from the side. Or something. I'll just be eternally grateful he didn't go for skateboard-cellent fanny tbh.

Bmx-cellent tits probably is worthy of its own thread

Well, there is a place for picture/video requests. It's here. But I'll post some of the ones I have (By the way I like that you're a fan of Tré/Mike ...but I think they don't have a name like "trillie" does We should make one! Treke, Trirnt... I don't know I'm not so good at names!) <This one :wub:

Guitar & Bass (UK), November 2013

It's too big, just like the Trilogy. Green Day needs a good editor. A lot of the songs are strong, especially American Eulogy. They'd have a lot more punch to them if they weren't mired down by the bad stuff.

No, I'm sure they all serve some purpose to the concept. The concept is weak and a crappy re-do of American Idiot, though. And I guess "filler" wasn't the best word to use, but there's just a lot of mediocre songs.

It's half filler bullshit. And a lot of the rest of the songs aren't THAT good, either.

Chris Bilheimer's Good Taste Quickest design turnaround: Green Day’s “American Idiot.” “I got a call from Billie Joe [Armstrong, the lead singer], who was looking at old movie posters by Saul Bass. [based on that style], we did a hand grenade shaped like a heart. I rammed it out, sent it to him and in 30 minutes the album cover was done.” http://www.wwd.com/footwear-news/people/chris-bilheimers-good-taste-7704693

I really do prefer the later Billie Joe...

1) They are adorable :wub: 2) Tré was perfect with his speech

Fashion Victim is severely underrated

The end of an era. Great new thread title, though--nice one, Tom. Unpopular opinion: Warning probably had the weakest single choices of their career pre-Trilogy. "Minority" is great, but the title track is too repetitious to be ideal; "Waiting", while great, is one of the album's weaker tracks; and "Macy's Day Parade" is a little too much of a downer to be a radio hit. "Castaway" and "Church on Sunday" would've been ideal.
