Look at those eyes

I just did a whole Top Gun thing (is that the right reference, I've never seen the film?) where I was dancing around to music in my underwear. Listened to a few tracks from the Trilogy in high volume and let me tell you. It sounds awesome. Hates gonna hate but the Trilogy was awesome.

I bet he struggles to find pants to fit! My son in law is aroundabout the same size and has the same problem!

Agreed, I feel like dancing in your underwear is pretty much what the trilogy was meant for.

Am I the only one that didn't want the trilogy to be a single album with the "best songs"? Listening to the entire trilogy for the first time was a hell of a ride. I was pretty satisfied with all that sweet sweet Green Day greatness.

This is so unlike you Mar!!! I like it!!! haha i guess the whole "bang bang" is putting some bang bang into our threads aswell. one penny for billie joes actual thoughts when reading these threads these days Bang Bang!

This is my fiance and I can confirm that well fitting trousers are indeed a rare occurrence Have a photo so I'm not short legged trouser spamming Quite impressed by that hair, I must admit.

Risky Business Yes I am old...

Yeah a man in the hall of fame doesn't need credit for a word too! haha

I think the credit should all be yours, screw Billie he has enough.

You need to get your eyes checked my young friend

21 guns spam I really love his hair in this video I dunnnoo haha

This is why Bang Bang needs a physical release, that means more B-sides and another single or two will give us enough for a Shenanigans Vol. 2.

Yes, me too! Especially Favorite Son, Too Much Too Soon and Shoplifter

Stay the Night acoustic should be the new closer

I can only think of maybe 3 people who have eyes like that. They're a work of art.

Quiz! Complete The Green Day Lyrics With a new Green Day single, 'Bang Bang', set to be released on August 11th, Billie Joe and the boys are back, back, back. Amazingly, the group first formed 30 years ago in 1986, and in their three decades they've masterminded snot-nosed punk classics (1994's 'Dookie'), a state-of-the-nation concept album (2004's 'American Idiot'), a side project (The Foxboro Hot Tubs) a stage musical (2010's American Idiot) and an ambitious trio of albums (2012's '¡Uno!', '¡Dos!', and '¡Tré!'). Oh, and they also had a starring cameo in The Simpsons Movie. http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/complete-the-lyrics-quiz-green-day 15 '90s Song Lyrics You Sang All The Time (Even Though You Had No Idea What They Meant) 7. "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" by Green Day Every high school student in the '90s and early '00s played this song as a sign off to their friends during senior year, Bustle noted that the song was actually about getting dumped. https://www.romper.com/p/15-90s-song-lyrics-you-sang-all-the-time-even-though-you-had-no-idea-what-they-meant-15451 Popular music and the loss of anger “Every single era has had escapist music: In the 1950s, there was the pop that came after Little Richard,” says Billie Joe Armstrong, singer and songwriter of Green Day, arguably the last major rock band to turn fury and indignation into a top 10 album with 2004’s “American Idiot.” "Music goes through these cycles, but this happens to be the longest cycle I remember without someone breaking through on a meaningful level." “After the turbulent ’60s, you got ’70s schlock -- quiet and boring [music], lots of earth tones -- then punk came around. Music goes through these cycles, but this happens to be the longest cycle I remember without someone breaking through on a meaningful level; someone who really has something to say.” “Ignoring it, that’s their statement,” says Armstrong, whose kids are now 18 and 21. “That’s their anger. You’re making me angry, so I’m turning my back on you. They’re done dealing with it all. They’re like, ‘I’m going to binge-watch zombies eating each other.’ ” Adds Armstrong, “It’s come to the point where artists are backed into a corner where there’s really no other place for them to go. You look at what’s happening with the news, and everything that’s going on in the world, and it’s kind of like ‘The Walking Dead.’ it’s coming right at you. You better write something about it.” http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-ms-music-anger-20160629-snap-story.html

Everyone has different "favourite songs" off the trilogy. That's why a single album would've been a terrible idea.

I would agree that those are the heavy hitters. Up there with the band's best work imo.

Little Boy Named Train is one of my favorites

I wish that he'd either pull his pants up or wear better-fitting ones. The way he dresses now only serves to further shorten his already-short legs. It's not flattering.

Yeah, yeah. I usually just keep my darkest thoughts to myself but with the new song, new photos and tour coming up, it's all just leaking our of me.

This thread is making me sweat. Better go off to the fangirls thread.

Sorry. I heard it only once as it's terrible. OK, first "fwooo" was funny. But only that one.

It's much better than Woo-Time

Hopefully the next single will have something to do with showering

Partly, yes, but no one in their sane mind would have let Billie promote the records when the effects from his addiction/abuse were painfully apparent. Warner could not totally substitute the band doing promotion, but at least they could have advertised Dos! and Tre! more profoundly than they have. You can't put all the blame on Billie for the commercial fiasco that the Trilogy was.

Our radio stations still play them. I get excited every time I hear Oh Love

this is absolute bullshit. If you're really a fan you should be able to see their shortcomings.

This is the kind of stuff that I HATE about Green Day fans (and probably a lot of fan bases.) Opinions don't make you more or less of a fan. Why does there have to be a competition over who's a better fan? Who fucking cares? The Green Day fanbase started getting like this in 2004 with all the fangirls competing for Billie's love and for image reasons, and I thought people would have outgrown it by now.

I really like 1039, but almost every song is about Billie *not* having sex with someone.

you not liking it doesn't make it a bad song though. And plenty of good songs have 2 chords, have you heard About a Girl? I'm not saying that Fell for You is in the same caliber as that song, but 2 chords doesn't automatically make a song shit.

I'd like to say that the Demolicious version of "Baby Eyes" is fucking bad ass.
