Are you sure you aren't thinking of Words I Might Have Ate from Radio Daze?

Thanks for the new member title.

Check out Dead Mermaids.

I should say my opinion of Tre (the album, not the person) has improved over these last two months. To be honest/blunt I still think The Forgotten is a wasted potential (read: shitty), but I'm warming up to most of the other songs. 8th Avenue Serenade in particular. Though I still prefer the demo version of 99 Revolutions. That was punchy; the final version on the other hand is a tad too 'tidy'. If there were more people like you the world would be at peace. I mean, I like Take Back. But then again, I also like Rest (though most everyone seems to loathe that), so I'm probably against the grain here.

When comparing drums to drums I will most definitely be listening for the drums in the songs.

Look what's up for sale again http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mega-Rare-Look-For-Love-Billie-Joe-Armstrong-Vinyl-Record-45-Green-Day-Cd-1977-/181613159090?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a48fce2b2 I wonder how many of these were made, because they seem to pop up every year or so.

It's not really screamy though, more an angry growl. I like it, he did it in his own style so instead of sounding scary/menacing he sounds like his usual snotty self just extra wound up. If he'd tried to sound like he was in a death metal band or something it would've been silly but the way he did it fits him and the song.

It's crazy to watch them at a time they were so young and had no idea what was in store for them in their future. Now, they are inducted in the fucking Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I just love these guys so fucking much and i'm so proud of them.

No One Knows, Private Ale and Words I Might Have Ate are my top 3. That album is full of so many greats that it was difficult to settle on them.

Originals/bigger versions of these pictures please?

Only silly billys dislike Rest. I'll listen out for that next time I listen to Nimrod. I'm just a huge AI fan boy. I like the drumming in Homecoming and Give Me Novacaine in particular, and even though it's not technical stuff, the drums just sound so punchy and cool. Great mixing/production.

99 Revolutions on Demolicious is definitely much better. And I don't have anything against Rest, but it's near the bottom of my list of Green Day songs.

It will continue until 01/20/2016

I always thought Take Back was a kind of toungue-in-cheek angry song rather than a serious attempt to sound like a death metal band.

It's actually 5 chords.

No it's not. http://dui-california-arrest.com/dui-california/wet-reckless-california

I've never seen that one before

Just bought this very rare shirt !

And that wasn't one of them.

Their next album will clearly be spoken word and released exclusively on Instagram.

"Here's to me" -raises glass- "let's find another reason" Perfect line for an alcoholic. "All the Time" = "Drinking Constantly"

He could have been Steven Seagull for all I know.

Of course he does, you'll have to wait for red day if you want songs about meat.

It's alright. I've never really got into it, for some reason. Probably cos Billie keeps talking about salad.

Unless they deserve it

For me, it goes beyond the music, length and lyrics. It's more of the entire concept — the introduction to the title character, the themes and overall feel of the album. To me, American Idiot (the song) is just a prologue, but JOS is the true beginning of the album. The punchiness of those first two lines makes it nearly impossible to not listen to the rest of the song. Beyond that, it was unlike anything the band had ever done to that point, and was definitely a risky move. So in the context of their careers, it's also epic in that regard. But once everything is tied together at the end of the album, with Letterbomb (the lines "You're not the Jesus of Suburbia, etc.") and Homecoming (the line "We're coming home, again" contrasting with the line "You're leaving home"), it's impossible for me not to consider JOS the coolest fucking thing ever. Like I said, it doesn't mean it's the song I listen to most, but I don't understand how anyone can dislike it.

I am struggling to think of any song ever written that is better than JOS & its not even my favourite GD song.

Remember? The dude haunts my dreams I'll get him one day man One day

Allow me to put my mod cap back on and tell you all to shut the fuck up and talk about Green Day.

LMAO yeah i nearly got my ass kicked for talking shit about U2 to a guy who turned out to be from Ireland treated them like they were the high power and such

"Hey! I like your BMW I like your BM-excellent tits With a tattoo of a pig sniffing glue" "Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round Like a Ferris wheel that's breaking down Drinking angel's piss, gonna crash and burn I just want some action so gimme my turn" "Oh, anyhow, anywhere Kiss me there, oh kiss me there Oh, scream and shout, truth or dare Kiss me there, oh kiss me there" etc, etc.

That's basically Makeout Party in a nutshell, and I say this as a Trilogy fan.

well, that was easy.

I really fail to see why terrible songwriting shouldn't be the only qualification needed.

That's the point - it's a song about the narrator's mind falling apart into dull delerium, just like Longview.

I think I've just burst into flames. Send help.

I hope that he has something to say about it, when he writes about such raw powerful things like addiction he hits the nail on the head. See: Hitchin A Ride

I actually feel relatively confident about whatever Billie writes next. I do love Mike's songs, but Billie's experience with rehab and related things might have provided some inspiration. The main problem with the Trilogy was that the lyrics weren't up to scratch and it didn't really sound like Billie had anything to say. Hopefully that might have changed in the last couple of years.

We can always use some more Mike songs. Having a Dirnt-penned song on an album was nice way to change things up a bit.

Found this version of the shenanigans CD in a local supermarket. Is it a newer version or a localized Dutch version? Does anybody know? Had to pick it up since it was only 2 bucks.

So I went a little crazy.... International Superhits orange 12" record Nimrod yellow 12" record Tune in, Tokyo record Welcome to Paradise CD Having a Blast CD Longview CD Basket Case CD AAAAND: Foxboro Hot Tubs Mother Mary single on record Pinhead Gunpowder Westside Highway single on record (in white)

My collection updated:

Found it at a used record store this morning. It's an old promo shirt. It says Green Day on the back.

I love the "should I be concerned?" parts, I really wish they would put that on Dos or something. I also hate how Lazy Bones didn't have a demo on Demolicious

I actually really like State of Shock - I don't know why, but I do.

Not sure if this would be the right place to mention this (my apologies if it isn't), but I feel like some of the trilogy's songs could pull of being on an album by The Network (yes, I believe The Network was a Green Day side-project) due to their sound and lyrical content. Songs like "Kill the DJ," "Troublemaker," "Wild One," and some others, produced and delivered like Money Money 2020, would be an interesting thing to hear...
