got a bigger one for you

“It’s like that feeling of what’s obsolete,” he said, “like we’re turning into a pop-culture graveyard.” He paused. “Ooh, that was good — pop-culture graveyard! I’m going to say that so many times in the next few days.” "I think punk is a lot more than just anger, and rage. It’s like the weirdo that gets to find their voice for the first time. It could be someone that wants to have their own fanzine, and write about things they believe in, and despite the odds, do it anyway." "I’ve just become more focused; I’ve learned to stop when I’m blocked. Either you go and make the bigger mess right now, or that song doesn’t want to be written right now, your brain’s not ready for it. Sometimes I just gotta know when to back off something. The fact that I’m clearheaded — I just love making stuff. A song like “Revolution Radio,” it’s so subtle and it’s so nerdy. The song’s got the intro, and it’s got a pre-chorus that goes into the chorus, and I decided to not do that pre-chorus going into the chorus in the second verse. It makes the song unpredictable. For me, that’s like the greatest song I’ve ever done. It’s super nerdy, but that’s what I love about writing." Words can't possibly describe how much I like this particular human.

I found my new favorite photo of Billie! <3

I have a lot of admiration for people who were let down by revrad. I just don't have that much optimism in me. My expectations were so low, they really would have to use a lot more vocal reverb to disappoint me.

So I just saw Fight Club for the first time today and it was amazing but it totally reminded me of American Idiot. Billie Joe did you rip off Fight Club? Haha

omg

I'm laughing so hard now. Then in the studio thread was closed so people would stop talking all kinds of irrelevant shit in there No seriously, it doesn't hurt to have a trilogy thread. Closing this would only result in unpopular opinions making a comeback.

Nah it's just a bunch of amateurs trying to troll my thread.

Seriously???? You think JOS is Green Day's worst song????? I don't even know what to say.....I'm speechless

He's a rockstar. Bragging is a part of his job

LOL at his surprise at coming up with that. He's so cute. LOL at him calling Revolution Radio super nerdy too. He is just so adorable. I want to hug him.

and I will keep laughing at that

But also total bullshit, if that were true they'd have played more than like 6 Trilogy songs on the tour

Ikr, it's not like they suddenly forgot how to play all the songs

What he's trying to say is that he likes all of them equally. Therefore, every time he's asked about a song he can give the same answer. Cunning.

It was hope.

I didn't have much optimism until I heard Bang Bang, then hearing the other two singles took the optimism away again so I'm not sure how I still wound up disappointed

Wowww I love this!!

Holy shit, this was harder than I thought it would be. 1. Bang Bang 2. East Jesus Nowhere 3. She 4. Church On Sunday 5. Scattered 6. One Of My Lies 7. Carpe Diem 8. When I Come Around 9. Ha Ha You're Dead 10. Are We the Waiting 11. Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) 12. Panic Song 13. Peacemaker 14. Basket Case 15. Jesus of Suburbia 16. Letterbomb 17. Dry Ice 18. Brain Stew 19. Longview 20. Bouncing Off the Wall 21. Pulling Teeth 22. Give Me Novacaine 23. One For the Razorbacks 24. Macy's Day Parade 25. Youngblood 26. Homecoming 27. Minority ENCORE 1 28. Before the Lobotomy 29. Misery 30. Worry Rock ENCORE 2 (just Billie and an acoustic guitar) 31. Still Breathing 32. Good Riddance

They are throwing in some special treats for sure. But they really should be playing the old songs that have never had live debuts. I wonder if they don't like some of their older songs, or if they just don't work live, don't fit into a set list, etc. No One Knows is one that NEEDS some attention. It could be a great addition to the acoustic encore. Their current tour looks entertain enough. They are pulling songs from ALMOST all their albums. Needs a bit more 1039, Insomniac and the "set of three albums that shan't be named" but other than that.............great 2016 tour!

Oh yeah, that's exactly what he did

Apparently not. Even when it's supposed to be a train it ends up being a bus

Are you ever, like, not on a bus?

I love how it's a screen cap from VH1 behind the music. Billie doesn't have the original picture to copy and put on there?

According to internet Green Day played One Of My Lies last night. that makes me happy
