Until like 2009 they had merch from all eras there and it was great, you could get a Nimrod shirt or a Kerplunk scarf and all sorts of things. It's a shame they only sell new stuff now, I'm sure they're missing out on profit by not selling stuff with classic/popular designs that loads of people would want.

I just donated because what the hell, I'll help the chimps and maybe I will be lucky. The thank you letter is an email with Billie Joe Armstrong as sender. I will save that email for the rest of my life.

Oh! He's so pretty; look at that nose and those eyes! Weirdly enough though, from this angle, he kinda resembles my French teacher.

Last night I heard Bang Bang on the radio for the first time. Someone called in and asked for it. No need to say it was a good opportunity to turn the volume to maximum. Now I'm sure I love that song.

Yeah! At least you can usually find Dookie shirts from other places. But ones with the awesome yellow Nimrod logo or Warning lightning man or almost anything else that isn't Dookie, AI or newer designs are increasingly hard to find, seems a shame when they have a goldmine of cool and iconic designs they could be selling.

When reflecting on the whole Trilogy era, I've come to realize it's pretty clear that Dos! is the darkest record of the three, even though it's not apparent superficially (aside from Lazy Bones). The whole aspect of losing control over one's desire and going too far in one's excesses is definitely a red line throughout the album. It's less random than Uno! and it exemplifies in a certain way what was going on with Billie post-21CB, much more than Uno! or Tré! do. I've certainly come to regard Nightlife as a far more sinister song than I originally did.

Pretty sure this hasn't been posted in here before:

Excellent technical insight. I agree with almost everything. I personally love the sound of minor pentatonic over a major tonic. Very New York Dolls. My main gripe with UDT are the overlong, staid arrangements. Most songs serve their purpose in half their duration. Main offenders: "Rusty James" (is that really the title?) and "99 Revolutions". The arrangements we've heard off RevRad carry much more momentum, fortunately.

Havn't heard the trilogy for a very long time. I think the last time I heard them was only a short time after their release. They're not as disappointing as I remembered. They're still a mixed bag however, but generally good. For now it's Dos>Tre>Uno, but it changes very often. I'll write my opinions in notes, because that's the way I want to: - There are only a few songs that shine to me, and even then, they don't shine as songs from previous materials. - A>C#m>D>Dm or A>C#m>D>F (sometimes with slight changes or on different keys) is too common in all 3 of them. Let's call it "The 'Creep' Chord Progression" for the sake of convinience (I'm sure it's not the first song to have that chord progression, but it's the most iconic song to have that in my opinion). - When writing solos, Billie Joe had this thought process: "The first chord is A, so I'll play on A Pentatonic!". No Billie, A Pentatonic does not work on A Major. I mean, it can work (y'know, in blues and stuff), but not in this case. - "Nightlife" is disgusting. The arrangement is bad, the innuendos are bad, everything about this song is just a big mistake. - "Fuck Time" was supposed to be on the category above, but then I remembered it's a somewhat comic song. If not for Foxboro, I would've thought they were dead-serious about it. I still suspect that though. - Brutal Love is fantastic. I don't like it when they do ballads - which usually turn out cheesy as hell - but boy was it done right. - I dig the guitar sound. There, I said it. It fits perfectly to the trilogy. And c'mon guys, Pinhead Gunpowder's "Compulsive Disclosure" has a similar sound. Jason's guitar is distorded, which happens to be overshadowed by Billie's clean guitar. That's even how they performed once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPaehUhzMPY I bet that a few more replays and I remember the songs perfectly.

That sounds nice. It's definitely good to see him supporting a good cause. You're his favorite fan, I think that enhances your chance to win.

I thought I was the only one still holding out for their comeback lol

Same! We can be sad together I couldn't resist the free shipping tbh.

Mike saying hello to México and inviting us to listen to Bang Bang. Nothing important but it was nice to see this

funny how the video from the Simpson is someone filming their screen with a phone or something

Hoping these postponed tour dates don't spiral into a bigger problem and RevRad ends up with the Trilogy Treatment. There's a new term for Failure, haha. "Did you hear about the Blair Witch movie? It got the Trilogy Treatment" Haha. Wild One is great.

Even the thumbnail closes my case. There's feedback through the whole set. It's a small club, the equipment is cheaper and the fact that he cups the mic and tosses it everywhere whenever he doesn't sing doesn't help either. I was only listening to this when the video was played, picking on it every now and then. There was a moment when he left the mic at the mic stand and suddenly, no feedback! As for why there's no feedback at the St. Jimmy performance? I don't know, I'm not expert. Maybe because it's a bigger room and they've got better equipment. You can still hear the sound is messed up whenever he's holding the mic like that (which is not ALL the time, but most of it).

I won it for $100. I didn't even pay that much for my first pressing Slappy vinyls.

I just ordered the 21st Century Breakdown and East Jesus Nowhere CD singles which I'm pretty pumped about.

This is by far the most praise for Last Ride In I've ever seen in one place, I love it.

since people were entitled to their own opinions

I like Last Ride In as well. I agree with your assessment

I took some screenshots, there you go

I love the clothes he's wearing in this picture

Look For Love vinyl for under $200USD

I went to a little village fair this weekend and randomly found some Green Day mugs, so of course I had to buy one... Especially Mike's face got me to buy it

that scarf <3

I really loved Billie's stripy pants and cool shirts on the 21CB tour

Except his eyes are blue
