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

Like I said, a matter of opinion. And anyway the original works better as a statement than as a song. It is too underdone as a song to really show oof all of its potential. And that is what Green Day did with their cover. While the original hits me still harder on a pure emotional level, the cover is musically more interesting. Thats the way to do covers anyway to make them feell like they were your own songs while still preserving the main elements that made the song special in the first place.

Billy?

hear the song "SPIKE" -- Billie's voice sounded clear. .. "" HEY, this is Brandon, but My friends call me Spike now...."

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.

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

Really I was always sure lots of GD fans made this joke

Oh really? Well it was pretty good so yeah - moar again pls grn dy. Oh and I'm glad I'm crap at analysing stuff - makes me appreciate things for what they are and sometimes it annoys me a bit when every chord, lyric and meaning, or every camera angle, line and plot point has to be dissected. Just enjoy things for what they are!

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

I'd argue it makes the songs even better. I do understand, in all seriousness--I often wish, particularly with film, that I could regain my analysis virginity and just simply enjoy the damn things.

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.

So you dumped Lady Nightlife for Alissa? Lol jk

I've heard it all before, sell donuts at my door.

Literally zero evidence to support this opinion, we've been over it before in here. Any "evidence" is absolute rubbish that's judgmental and contrived. The man could be an ass, he could be a saint. But to pretend we know anything is silly

So here's another screenshot, and it's still funny to see that dude in that situation

:wub:

Everything in Armatage Shanks.
