Thank you! I love this song too.

You know they rerecorded 409 in your Coffeemaker post-Dookie? I would love to hear Paper Lanterns done like that.

There's not enough Jason Freese in this thread. I honestly think he was the most entertaining member of the band on the Breakdown tour. The lack of saxophone at the most recent shows was a bit of a disappointment.

Well, you've won this one.

The least good song in my books is St.Jimmy, but it still awesome. And to me Whatsername is an awesome closer, and to be honest rhyming doesn't bother me at all. And I just can relate with it, objectively I realise it is not that creative, but it strikes a chord with me and subjectively it is my favourite on AI. Taken alone many songs beat it but in its context Whatsername is perfect. Especially that last part that seems to be about coming in terms with one's past and realising that it will never come back and actually one doesn't even want that. That seems to be a perfect closer to a perfect album, right? When it comes to Bowie, take a heed of this word: Berlin. Honestly. A trilogy that actually is awesome from start to finish.

Yeah, most notably in the Razorbacks solo but there's also The Grouch, She's A Rebel, Pulling Teeth, maybe Fuck Time, and quite a few on the first two albums.

The only thing I can't place is the double stops. Does Billie use loads of those in solos? "Exploding Butterflies in My Stomach"

And Summer of 69.

Baby Eyes, Lady Cobra, Nightlife No, but in all honesty, and I remember people saying this a while back, the first 5 songs of UNO is probably the strongest opening of a Green Day album except AI.

Got the weirdest fucking email today. First they requested Green Day play a concert in their country (that's normal). But then they suggest the band do a skit on stage where during American Idiot they get someone to go up on stage from the crowd and act like they're shooting all 3 members, then have police come out from back stage. "Leave the crowd and everyone silent for a few minutes, then Billie gets up saying "waaakkkeeee upp like in the chorus of Waiting", and the band starts playing again". After this person finishes this really terrible idea for a concert, they give me two bank account numbers asking for me or "anyone else in Green Day" to donate money to them, $1 to $3, just to help. They also kindly offered to use a wire transfer through Western Union if that was easier for us. It's been a long time that I genuinely thought "what the fuck did I just read" after going through email.

i wish i were as good of a troll

I think you're looking for When it's Time.

I like DRB...
