Yes! That's the direction Green Day should take. After the failure of the trilogy they need something new and radical, and a folk punk album would be great, and the controversy surrounding the change of style would be just a big plus. Challenge the damn status quo!
At least, it wouldn't be boring.
Now the thread is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old rep that lies on the shore
You always responded when I PM'd your help
You gimme a user title and a key to the door.
Warning is a weird one in that I love it even though it's the most repetitive song in the world. It's not even a riff, it's just a straight run up and down the scale. But I love it. And those lyrics are fantastic.
Warning the album is my third-favorite of theirs and remains one of my go-to late summer/early fall albums. It's obviously more subdued than its predecessors, but I for one love the more folk-rock feel that dominates it.
I agree that the song is one of the weakest on the album, but I still enjoy it. And as noted, the lyrics are great (is it true that they're all slogans Billie took from billboards and bumper stickers?).
It is my second favourite album of theirs, sir. Would you state the reasons for your unholy blashemy, if ye be willing, yer dissappearness Nickness?
Being the most massive admirer of the album, even I must admit Warning as a song includes a blatantly recycled riff, and a generic chorus and so does not impress me that much.
Yes! We must gather all our brethren and sisters! GDC needs action and action shall be given! We all must sacrifice ourselves and our time for the community before it's too late
Oh wow.
Also can you imagine Gogol Bordello covering Misery? I can hear Eugene singing "Mr Whirly had a catastrophic incident" in my head and I'm giggling. It'd be so good.
