These songs are like those buttons on calculator that you haven't push in your life, but these buttons are great, Great as an apple pie

I love Emenius Sleepus. It's a great song in its own right, but it helped me through a time when my then-best friend became a dick, so it holds particular significance to me. That's going in my sig.

Geez, the writer obviously knows nothing about this song or its subjects.

So how nerdy am I if I found that chant cover absolutely fucking amazing? <3 I'm ashamed at how long it took me to understand what that gif meant...

^ I lol'd at "some unnamed woman"

That cover is actually awesome.

Do you know your Anakin? Do you know your Anakin? Well gotta know your Anakin, Darth Maul!

There's a big article in Rolling Stone this week about The Replacements including a small picture of Billie Joe with Paul at Coachella and this quote: He played lounging on a couch onstage with longtime fan Armstrong adding vocals and a third guitar. "He kept saying it was a dream come true and all of that," says Westerberg. "We were glad to have him around." (Armstrong stayed with the Replacements for the next few shows, and suggested working together in the future.)

I just can't deal with you anymore... omg.

I'm guessing that's me haha

I went through a phase of playing it constantly. It's not bad, it's just ... meh. Better than a lot of the Trilogy, but could have been better than what it was.

I mean I always try to forget about it, but there's that one guy's username on here

The working title for it was "Alright", but it was by no means the final title

I think it was meant to be called Alright, or maybe Just Alright.

Yeah there's so many ways to interpret/appreciate that album. I do notice and enjoy the story, and the power and emotion in it, but I don't particularly relate to it (which a lot of people give as their main reason for liking it), and don't feel like that diminishes how much I like it either.

I highly doubt it! It's just a rumor.

Some douchebag "sports anchor" on one of our news stations here said this morning, "There's a song called 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', and that could be used to describe some American football team blah blah". I stopped listening after he started going on about that, and muttered something to myself about how dick that was because of what the song IS about. nonetheless, it was a Green Day reference. -_-

As i listened to Extraordinary Girl yesterday, I noticed that the drum beat in the verse is more or less identical to Know Your Enemy. Fucking rip-offs! No, but seriously though, I'd never noticed before.

Hah. I got to Green Day via Weird Al and Yugioh Abridged. Guess we could pull off a 'Who's the dorkier?'-type of competition here, but on second thought, no.

That makes two of us. But when my slow, fucked up mind found out there was a big LOL on my dumb face.

I'd have to agree with this as well, I just can't really follow it...doesn't mean I don't love it all the same.

Kerrang!, August 23rd 2013 Sorry for breaking the rules, it does not make sense to leave the cover and the editor note out.

I think that Emenius Sleepus is one of the best songs on Dookie...

I really don't connect with the story of American Idiot. I don't know why - I guess it's just not my thing. But I just don't get the story itself and I have no interest in the characters at all really. But I think it's a mark of the brilliance of the album that even for me, somone who has no interest in the story, it's still my favourite album, solely coz of the music. I don't even know why really. Technically speaking, it's not difficult to play (none of their stuff is), but there is just something about the overall writing, music and production which blows all of their other music out of the water. But as for the story? Yeah I just tend to ignore that.

It certainly was a quickly escalating that.

Fixed

Yes, but George Lucas doesn't seem to realize this.

Can't anger lead to fear, and fear lead to suffering, and suffering lead to hatred?

Well fear, it leads to much anger, oh-ay-oh-ay-oh, Anger will hatred incur, oh-ay-oh-ay-oh, Hatred causes suffering, oh-ay-oh-ay-oh, Suffering comes from prequels, so GIVE ME GIVE ME LAWRENCE KASDAN

Indeed. This is nothing—I first discovered Green Day through a trailer for a Star Wars fanfilm, no less.

I'm basing all my Green Day opinions on Gregorian Chant cover versions from now on.

0/10. BOBD is obviously more simplistic and cliched lyrically than the best stuff on AI, but I think it works really well. My one nitpick is an odd one—the Gregorian Chants cover album censored the line "What's fucked up and everything's all right" to "What is wrong and everything's all right", and I've actually found myself preferring that bit of wordplay to the original lyric.

it's hard to do the solo that way, since it uses an open G string. Using the 4th fret on the D string is almost impossible in that solo.

PAPER. LANTERNS. C'mon dude. Seriously. I'm disappointed in you.

so I went to a random local fair today, you know,that place where they sell basically everything, and found this..It's hand painted and I know it's pretty different from the original buy it is soooo cool and unexpected and I paid only like 8 euros so I'm really happy right now

This isn't exactly "Green Day", but it immediately remind me of Worry Rock (I'll put it on spoiler 'cause it's a big picture) And look! I'm going through pics from his art on tumblr and found this!
