Oh god... not again, You're just comparing the ""Red Bull"" to ""Weed"" ... -_- -_-

The original version known as Mother Mary on Foxboro Hot Tubs album is far superior

From tumblr, with fans So cute

Don't impugn, don't question, By your heart learn the lesson For wisdom has spoken, its truth unbroken, studiously ponder those lines in your heart and little by little, your awakening will start.

I like them because it's kind of interesting/cute to hear them playing old songs they must've written when they were like 14 and having fun playing My Generation. Prefer Kerplunk though! But it makes no difference to me that they're on the same CD as it, easy to treat it as separate when you can just press the off button after Words I Might Have Ate finishes. Same, they're both great and fun songs. Stray Heart is also extra fun because you can pretend he's singing "I lost my whale" at the beginning

Obviously best of collections are objectively looking better than albums. That's the point. But who really needs them? Everyone really into a band buys the albums anyway, and often the track lists of those collections are heavily flawed. The goodness of a song is subjective. It makes sense if many of their best tracks were excluded from the studio albums, but even in that case singles collections are much better. But the only ones who really need best of collections are those who are a) just getting into the band (and nowadays even they have youtube and all, not to mention Spotify) and b) those casual listeners not enough into the band to buy the whole discography. If Green Day released a best of-collection now, it would be deemed as a sign of extreme washed-upness and hopeless nostalgia. I fail to see what good it would do, but get them some publicity, but what's the worth of it alone? A band's goodness isn't proportional with its popularity and that is, by the way, why I fail to see what harm it would do if Green Day never became as popular as they were in the past? Considering their age and music style that's very likely. But it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of their music would get worse.

Obvi means new album

It's the same outfit he wore to Little Kids Rock, so I would assume Little Kids Rock. Billie is so short, but almost every picture I see of him and a fan, he is taller. Are Green Day fans short???

I blame Andres, etc.

Blame Tom, I didn't notice until he told me.

Seth Green on his instagram.

CDs are capable of being way louder than vinyl. To paraphrase Ian Malcolm, producers were so excited to learn that they *could* do something that they didn't stop to think if they *should*. And unfortunately it's just continued for fifteen years.

actually its shrekt u fakin n00b

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LIFE IS RUINED Why do producers (or whoever) do that? Very true. HA! #REKT

Bless HungryHungryModels.

Just speaking facts

Part of the lyrics for Gabriella were used in Amanda. Check out more stuff like that.

Pfft. You're just trying to tick me off now, buddy

No One Knows is one of their best songs ever, straight up. Same goes from 2000 Light Years Away. Loads of Kerplunk is amazing.

I saw a GDC reference today it was written on a cardboard box and I think it was part of the product code...

also razorbacks rules

One of My Lies is great, No One Knows is both very good and painfully sad.

Ah, Unpopular Opinions thread, oh how I've missed thee As for Longview vs. Sassafrass Roots - two great basslines which serve different purposes for two very different songs and can't really be compared.

That's the point, isn't it?

Once you learn to play guitar, and you start learning songs, you notice so many copied chord progressions and shit, it's crazy.

Just FYI, it took me a good 3 days or so to realize you were WhiteTim.

Sassafras Roots needn't be ruined since that came first.

It's not that I dislike the Longview bassline. Obviously it's epic. But it's also lethargic and repetitive. Sassafras Roots has real power, a ton of energy, a lot of variety and is just the most fun thing in the history of the world to play. On a technical level it's unquestionably better than Longview. Plus it's a lot more melodic.

Nothing is superior to the bassline of Longview

The bassline of Sassafras Roots is infinitely superior to that of Longview. Discuss.

You just ruined that song for me. 1) Apple paid U2 for the album and then gave it away. U2 didn't lose anything. 2) Apparently there is another (related) album coming at some point.

Haha I was also shocked, but impressed! But see, if you're smart enough to reserve your wrath for key moments when it's warranted, it has more power. That's why Lizzie shocked the world just then Like I'm a teacher, and if I let myself scream at kids every day, they'll never listen. But if I only scream at them every once in a while, that's terrifying

So I'm playing the AAF version of "Going to Pasalacqua" on our common room's speaker, and one of the people sitting here with me just asked "What language is this in?" Good to know that whatever country I'm in, Billie's vocals will still be incoherent.
