You knew about the trilogy 10 years ago??? Why didn't you warn the band?

Would you mind sharing this PowerPoint?

and another cool addition.. not Green Day but close

Stray cats are my fans.

Thank you, Jesus.

I actually like the song Sweet 16...

Was just checking before I ranted about the time not changing, yadda yadda yadda!!

Well hell, they cut short their set at the last minute

well yes, i think it's granted that any compilation of this type will never be as good as a full-fledged album. there might not be many/any "stand outs" but there are a fair few songs i like a lot and would listen to over many other gd songs (suffocate, desensitized, i want to be on tv, scumbag, sick of me, do da da, haha you're dead). i understand why people don't talk about it much, but i still think it's underrated just based on the songs. i'd say a lot of them are pretty on-par with nimrod in terms of their sound/feel (obviously, since most of them were written around that time) and since nimrod is a generally well-loved album you'd think people would appreciate the songs more.

What the hell, I never knew that Dookie version of 409 existed. It's like hearing a new song.

I agree that it bothers me a bit that they borrowed that melody, but on the other hand, the best part of it that comes in the end is original. And after all, they gave Cooke a credit, so there's nothing morally wrong with it. Besides, the build-up is amazingly well done. All in all, it is one of the best songs on the Trilogy.

I think that Brutal Love is overrated...

What's not to like? The lyrics are fantastic, the solo is rocket-fueled, the pounding of the drums after each verse is like an assault, the video is probably the best they've ever done. Definitely in my top three GD songs.

Don't let Ryan hear you say that

I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way, yeah.

http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/94653-409-in-your-coffeemaker-unmixed/ I found it a few days ago, and I wish I found it sooner - that's one of my favourite songs.

Fixed.

ok no bye

The 2009 tour when they did actual explosions for the gunshots during the breakdown was the best use of pyro I've seen at a gig.

I honestly think Nuclear Family and Stay The Night is the best two song opener apart from Dookie.

God, as I never listen to Dos I'd forgotten just how heinous that was. *runs to take a shower*

I think it's silly to assume they can't produce brilliant music again just because the Trilogy was a failure, I'm actually really eager to see what direction they take next, and see if they can commercially redeem themselves.

I consider Walking Alone one of the best songs on Nimrod

I think one of Green Day's greatest qualities is taking darker subject-matter and putting it in a song that sounds almost joyful. Like smiling and flipping someone off at the same time. They've done it marvelously their whole careers.

Pay for your crimes.

Yeah that's a good point too. Given how much of a toll long term touring took on Billie I think it's totally understandable they're having a year off, whatever the reason. I'd be surprised if he wasn't writing songs though, so maybe we might get an album sooner than expected as a result.

Their IG teased us a little bit, but nothing too great. This is the biggest tease I've ever seen though. Not even Green Day is this cruel Cleft Pirate could be a new or unreleased album

Why do you keep bringing me into this???

You join clubs to make fun of them? Is that why you ventured in the feminist club too? cause that's not what the clubs are for
