Today, in my travels all over the state of CT, I was listening to Lithium. I swear that every other song was a Green Day song today. It was so nice of Lithium to put on a celebration for my birthday.

Oh god yeah, I've always had a problem with those covers. The Uno artwork especially bugs me with that stoned look on Billie's face. I do like the idea of a more simplistic, fun time style artwork, but surely they could have done better than what they came up with. I do really like the demolicious art though, and I think some variation of that would have been a lot more effective.

Is there anyone else who completely despises the artwork/merch for Uno, Dos, Tré? I was watching Cuatro last night and really started harping on it again. This may sound ridiculous, but I almost believe that if they had gone with a different look, the albums would have been slightly more successful. To me, the artwork just reminds me of stuff directed toward 13 year old kids. And I think it doesn't fit the sound at all. Actually watching Cuatro is amazing--everyone is all dressed down, relaxed, totally chill; skateboarding, surfing, ping-pong...ing, etc. Not to mention the beautiful 8mm film effects. And then there's the artwork and it just seems a little bit too try-hard. In part of the documentary, they show the rough drafts of the albums and it's their faces in the same pose except that it's just a black and white photo with sharpie for the X's over their eyes, and truthfully I think that alone would have been heaps better than the overdone look. The actual documentary is very nostalgia classic meets a touch of modern, and the artwork just looks like they found some 12 year old, asked him to eat 57 Laffy Taffy's then used what he puked up as the artwork. Okay... I'm being a little harsh. The truth is, I hate neon. I hate it. I want it nowhere near me. Forever.

Jesus h Christ why does it matter?! What exactly are people trying to imply here, why is it such big deal, let the man have some privacy geez

And I'm assuming he has a "y'know" filter to cut those out too, otherwise Jesus Of Suburbia would last about half an hour.

That is an interesting question. First, based on the subjects he writes about and the lyrics he is able to compose, he is clearly not stupid. I just think he never gave a shit about grammar and sentence structure, etc. So his lyrics are often not correct from those standpoints. As far as his verbal skills, I think he is just such a nervous guy that he has trouble speaking in public. IF he takes his time, and it is a subject he feels more comfortable with, I think he is fine. He can sometimes be quite eloquent, not often but it does happen! I thought his Rock Hall speech was decent. To sum it up, I would not put down his english skills as one of his better talents.

Thank goodness for spell check and grammar check or else we wouldn't understand any of those lyrics

I still find it astonishing that a person with Billie's verbal skills can write such clever lyrics.

I love the Demolicious artwork too. And I agree that they should have used some of the aspects of the Demolicious cover for the Trilogy. Not only would it have looked better, but it would have tied the albums together as a complete set. Hopefully the artwork on the next album will be fantastic because I really want to wear a new GD shirt and I hate the ones from the Trilogy

Erm...

Hehe

Awww^^^^

It could be they were returning to the bay area.

So cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Maybe so, but I'll bet every Green Day fan laughed their ass off at this concert.

The screen behind the stage in 2009 looked great so much better than the gd sign with half the lights blown last time they were here.

These are awesome

The guitar riff in the beginning of I Want To Be Alone is one of my favorites. I just love it.

I was watching a movie and noticed this in the background.
