The Basket Case performance is top-notch too. I just wish he didn't sound high/kinda drunk during it.

No, people rode horses and fought with bears whilst drunk and naked. Oh, the good old days when men were men and bears were bears and Green Day made songs about other topics than Makeout Parties.

She's a Rebel is in my top 10 Green Day songs. Is that bad?

In which case I'm sincerely looking forward to the next live DVD after Ceadog's "Jeff Matika Fondles Pigeons" sign at Brixton.

His voice on rotting is really nice. just something about how he sings "whisper are you dying in my ear" unf

Yes, losing weight may be a positive thing but one's weight has nothing to do with one's music. Its damn shallow to think so. Also, he wasn't even fat really. Only a bit chubby, probably not even over-weight at all.

yeah, because it's awful both ways

I think that Uptight is definitely an underrated Green Day song.

I Want to Be Alone is a fucking amazing song. I'm listening to it right now, it feels like I've never heard it before. Everyone should give it a listen if you read this post. Read the lyrics while you listen to it.

I really like the song Wow! That's Loud.

Well that made me feel ill. The demo version of 99 Revolutions is where it's at. I can kind of understand why Billie liked it so much based on that. Obviously the studio version sucked the life out of it, but that bridge is still epic.

I was listening to No Pride the other day and never realized how amazing it is. The lyrics are incredibly written, and the way some of the lines ironically contradict each other is great. I think it is in their top 5 best songs tbh.

how is this an unpopular opinion

Yeah . Seriously though I hope people don't really let other's opinions spoil their enjoyment of songs/albums too much. If you're lucky enough to like a song and someone else isn't you're the winner in that situation and they're the loser since you get to enjoy a song and they don't! So just enjoy it. I get what your saying, although I think it was more about the whole band being pretty scruffy and unhealthy all round rather than just Billie's weight (he was only a bit chubby anyway). The band themselves have talked about it, Billie saying how during Nimrod/Warning he was drunk all the time and in his "fat Elvis period", and Mike using the same phrase to describe the whole band and saying they all looked like shit and had lost motivation. And Billie mentioned the reason for the image change being wanting to "look like a fucking man for once". I think getting more in shape and looking sharp with AI came from the band members becoming more energized and motivated etc at that time, and just maturing, as well as it fitting with the music.

What does Billie's weight have to do with anything?

i'm going to dedicate my life to the cause.

They chose to announce Awesome as F**k right when I was trying to convince my parents that the band wasn't immature and gratuitously profane. Well played, Green Day, well played.

i've still never listened to/watched aaf... probably mostly just because of how stupid the name is

I agree with that. The BIAB DVD is massively superior but the AAF CD is way better, and given that I listen to audio more than I watch videos I have to say AAF is better.

What I meant is that it's pretty underrated for not being a single.

I like Reject. Reject is a good song.

"With you around, you'll only add on" Hey, I'm doing you favors, you're supposed to rep all my posts and agree with whatever I say

Billie's guitar tone at concerts isn't right for the song. It sounded great on GMA, though. Heck, I was looking for a recording of that show when I discovered GDC.

I'm going through a Rotting phase, the song isn't that great, but I can't get enough of it

Fair enough. But I've always thought that Brutal Love would be a good album closer. On my best of Trilogy playlist, I finish off with Lazy Bones and Brutal Love, and it seems to work pretty well.

idk, Oh Love didn't seem any different live to me.

I saw a post on tumblr saying international superhits was "underrated". I'm sorry but how is an album of singles underrated? like they're the best of the bunch of each album, so technically not that underrated or they wouldn't have been chosen as singles I've been on a kerplunk fix lately, no idea why. My favourite song from that album is def one for the razorbacks or android.

I like Drama Queen The lyrics are stupid, but it has kinda nice feeling in it .. a bit retro or something. And the melody is nice.

I think Having a Blast and Pulling Teeth are the two most underrated songs on Dookie.

I don't collect shit on my phone, I only have 16 gigabytes on that bitch

I really want to make a top 20 now, because I think Stay the Night, Lazy Bones and X-Kid are contending for a spot, surprisingly.

I really think that 21st Century Breakdown is a fantastic album...

This is not new, but it has a meaning to me. Around 3:00 Jerry Only says he thinks Green Day is a great band, along with Rancid, and also around 6:30 he's naming them one of the biggest bands in the world

Really? I don't think you've ever mentioned this before

My unpopular opinion: The trilogy isn't as bad as people say it is. It's not Green Days best by any means, but I think people hate on it too much. I think people were expecting another Dookie or AI, and obviously the albums fell short. I don't hate Uno, Dos, or Tre, but they aren't my favorite either. They aren't my favorite becuase I feel like they tried to shove different styles of music down my throat, and the songs don't sound connected due to all the experimentation. Maybe people hate it so much because of that, but I don't think that's a reason to DESPISE it...

Warning is their best album and I'll defend that statement untill my days come to their very end

Oh no he didn't.

I think the "future genaration" of fans will judge the Trilogy differently than we do now. The whole situation is analogical to Warning - disappointed fans used to bash the album back then almost as much as we bash the Trilogy now, but a lot of post-warning fans like the album. It's usually considered underrated, overlooked etc. A lot of people wonder why it was so unsuccessfull. Fans who weren't around in 2000 weren't affected with the atmosphere and the general bad mood - we didn't "see it" flop, I could listen to the album without prejudice from the first time, there was nobody to tell me how terrible it was. I think I'm not the only one who actually could enjoy Warning and make his own opinion about it thanks to the interval between the release of the album and the year we heard it for the first time. I think if I'd heard Warning when it came out I would have been disappointed. It's never been that new shitty album for me so I never needed to think about it from the same point of view as I do about the Trilogy. But if Warning was released in 2012 instead of the Trilogy I would be disappointed and most of us would hate on it as much as people did back then. Another reason why post-warning fans usually don't mind the album being different is that a lot of us already knew "what happened next" when we discovered Warning. We were sure Green Day weren't going to turn into a weird folkrockpunkpopreaggaecountry band and play pipes. Warning is an interesting piece in their catalogue, but it's much better when you are sure that American Idiot actually came out and Billie lost weight. Objectively, the Trilogy is much worse than Warning. No one can unhear the production, lyrics, tambourine, and tons of other faults, but I don't think it will be such a big deal in, say 2020. I doubt anyone will give a damn if the next album is decent. In context of their career it's not such a huge thing anyway. To be honest I doubt my friends who aren't Green Day fans even spotted they released an album in 2012.

You are a horrible person for missing the other eight.

You are only the second person in the universe to say that.

This forum has made me dislike/caused indifference on a lot of the Trilogy, but it will have to pry my love for Fell For You out of my cold, dead hands tbh.

My sister recently got a Foxboro Hot Tubs tattoo: The tattooist had four Green Day tattoos herself including Billie Joe's face on her arm, so she knew she was the right person for the job
