I want to sell this.

The fact that you used 10% of your post limit to point that out is my favourite thing.

So I know we often give the band a hard time for their by-the-numbers covers, but I honestly think their "Working Class Hero" is leaps and bounds better than the original.

Not sure if this has been posted on here before, but I just put it on JWD and it's just so perfect.

How much longer does this b& fest endure for? Just curious.

Don't underestimate how much I enjoy annoying Kay.

That's because the Trilogy is a deliberately more simple and fun direction, with a kind of retro rock and roll vibe to it. Those kind of choruses fit those kind of songs. I think it works straightforwardly for the more fun songs, and works as a nice contrast to the darker verses in the more serious songs (and sometimes both at once for the songs that have both fun and dark elements), I don't have any issue with it. It's so great, the drums add so much to it, Billie's singing is perfect for it and they made it their own. Hands down their best cover. Wrong

Maybe try marketing it on a vegan forum.

It's sarcasam dofus of course I knew that Obviously my humor isnt very good..

The Network?? But I thought they hated Green Day...

wait wait.. that's too soon, or too far, or too much too soon., let them enjoy a bit, billie got a new award, mike and brit are dealing with the biggest consequence, ( well i have no idea of Tre, sorry for that ) their get together would be amazing, they would be having a lot new experience, especially Mike. and they'll give us something about their experience. and everytime they something on their own experience, it's just way too amazing, way too great. ( by the way anyone know, how and where is Sir Tre Cool...!! )

I don't want any crazy production or eclectic instruments or different styles for their next album I just want some solid songs. I would take another rock opera but its far from necessary I just want some honest good lyrics and Green Day doing what I love them for musically.

I went through all the lyrics and made a list of songs with repeating choruses. That's how much I love you guys Why Do You Want Him Don't Leave Me Sweet Children Best Thing in Town All By Myself 86 Westbound Sign (The best Green Day song ever) Platypus (I Hate You) Haushinka Take Back Warning Money Money 2020 Are We the Waiting Favorite Son Governator Christian's Inferno American Eulogy Hearts Collide Let Yourself Go Kill the DJ Troublemaker Oh Love See You Tonight Stop When the Red Lights Flash Makeout Party Missing You Walk Away 99 Revolutions Know your enemy doesn't have repeat in the chorus, just the verses, so I didn't include it, same with I Want to Be Alone and some others. and yeah, dat trilogy

Great article and Mike's IG is really one of the the best so far... But is ''Brittney'' so hard to remember for crying out loud ?

:wub:

What's wrong with parodies? In all seriousness, apart from the Trilogy, which rightfully deserves to be hated ( ), what Green Day stuff have you seen seriously eviscerated here to the point that it's ruined your enjoyment? Apart from Ceadog I'm pretty sure we all still love the band.

I picked up this little guy last week on eBay for $17.

Some more by photographer Scott McDermott:

Mike's jawline is freaking gorgeous

If only.

Billy?

Aww baby marshmallow

Agreed, Working Class Hero is the perfect mix between original and cover song. Mind you, I still orgasm whenever I hear 'A Quick One' or 'Like a Rolling Stone' - the production on those is out of this world. Yeah I guess it makes sense if you take it in the context of simple and fun, which is obviously what they were aiming for, but in my opinion, the quality of the music took a significant downturn as a result of going in that direction.

Remember that one time when that Mike Dirnt dude offhandedly took credit for The Network? I mean, what a jerk. Damn.

Sorry about that, i was not supposed to do this... forgive me please

it's good.. It's good, your humor is very surprising.. .. and i't really very difficult to have such a humor!!!

The Network are Green Day -_-

Oh, my bad, you're right. For some reason I thought the "Insurgency will rise..." part was the chorus, but I see now that it isn't

You guys misunderstood what I was saying. It's not people's opinions that bother. It's not like someone trashing a particular song makes me no longer like it. I just mean that when you spend us much time as we do analyzing everything Green Day, it starts to feel bland and mechanized. That's also partly due to listening to them so often, but part of it comes from the forum. And I'm not hating on you guys or the forum. I'm here because I enjoy it. Also, I loved the 21GDC parodies (or at least the ones I understood), so there's nothing wrong with parodies. I meant more along the lines of lyrically. Stuff like "raw ham" and stuff that I think of when I hear the song and it ruins he moment.

I'd say let's wait to hear the next Green Day album before saying Billie lost his writing abilities... I think he wrote the trilogy as meant for fun and not all serious and for him fun and not serious is repeating words over and over... Edit not to give excuses or anything...

It was when I was in 2nd year of high school so as a 14 year old I lived and breathed green day back then and everyone knew it Also we are the waiting is one of my favourite songs, massively underrated <3

I feel another 21GDC b-side coming on.

Really appreciating Are We The Waiting lately...

Great find! (Tried to get it w/o watermarks but no luck. *cries*) It's by photographer Scott McDermott of "Billy Joe Armstrong" according to his site. Here it is in a larger size, as well as another photo:

I thought Billie was just being Billie and was shouting gibberish, maybe something about food (I'm pretty sure I heard a 'jello' there). Speaking of Rusty James: 'foggy knives and rusty chains.' EDIT: I just remembered. G-L-O-R-I-A "The jello hard I ate." Billie's attempt at Yoda-speak, ladies and gentlemen.

I thought in Jesus of suburbia instead of we are the kids of war and peace it was where all the kids are roaring beasts

Everything in Armatage Shanks.
