I found the old journal I kept when I was 9 years old, in one entry I wrote that my dad bought me 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours because I got a good report card

I just immensely enjoy how different the Network are. It's absolutely bonkers, the lyrics make no sense, there are laser sounds, and they wear masks and latex jackets and they pretend they're not Green Day. I find it hilarious and at the same time I actually enjoy the music - the guitar sounds are great. FBHT aren't bad by any means but I just prefer the sound of the Network. Also Mike sings more with them.

Googled 'Mike Dirnt flying'. Was not disappointed.

Someone with more talent than me has to Photoshop a broom underneath him. Mike would make a solid Quidditch player.

Unpopular opinion: The Network is much better than FBHT. Roshambo is such a good song I'll fight you on this.

Every time I listen to Android, I can't help but laugh at the sound of a toilet flushing in the middle of it

I think it's catchy as fuck. Lyrics are terrible, but I like the little guitar solo Wow, really? I love most of 21CB's lyrics.

But it sounds good if you actually have BMXcellent tits

Snap @Scattered Wreck

That would be fine, I won't hear it.

Is it an unpopular opinion that the foxboro album is better than every green day album after american idiot? (Maybe only 21st can somehow compete.)

This is why the bitch is my favourite @Jenn.

I have never disagreed more with a post than I disagree with this one. If we had negative rep, I actually would have used it. You have made me sad.

I live for that "farawayuhh" at the end ugh

Oh Love is fine But it should NOT have been a single. At least not a first single.

My issue with Oh Love yesterday was that it was obnoxiously fucking long with no variation. Like...ok...I can handle your basic catchy riff for like...3 minutes. But 5? Jesus fucking christ, I was so over it.

Why sell it for scrap?! I completely disagree! Someone should fix it up and restore it. It's a classic car, it deserves much more.

In my opinion the lyrics of 21CB are the best Billie has ever written, even if they do have the tendency to be a bit over the top and derail the 'story' which strings the different songs together. Songs like 21st Century Breakdown and East Jesus Nowhere are lyrical masterpieces. You are, however, definitely not the only person who isn't completely in love with the album.

Probably the most discussed lyric in this thread - everything comes back to Bmxcellent tits.

I'd easily take SD&R over the Trilogy or RevRad, undoubtedly. As to The Network, I could never get into New Wave in general so it's no surprise I'm not a fan.

Oh well, never trust lyric sites, I guess.

There's a reason why the guys wear masks in The Network, if you know what I mean

You're my new best friend except Roshambo is probably one of my least favourites on the album. Supermodel Robots, Spike, Reto and Money Money 2020 are probably my top 4. I know the words to Spike like the back of my hand! Consider this: The Network covering Youngblood

Listening to The Network makes me want to cut my ears off

Choosing between Roshambo and Mother Mary is like choosing between American Idiot and Dookie: both great in their own right. Yes, and I say that as a person who considers 21st Century Breakdown to be their lyrical and sonical apex.

that's the spirit

Perhaps I am wrong, but maybe I don't want to be right!

Is it really "lodged to fill another year"?? I always thought it was "we could fill another year". And I literally had no idea what the first part of that first line was until I read your post. Whenever I sing along, that bit always comes out as nonsense. I just never bothered to look the lyrics up. With RevRad, I got nothing except for Bang Bang, when I heard "I got my vol-u-vent" instead of photobomb. I still sing my interpretation because I like it better

He does

It does.

I don't think this is something you want to advertise

You can't make that decision in the unpopular opinions thread, not fair!

I loved Know Your Enemy when I first heard it. I just think the guitar sound is awesome. It's a great, powerful song. It's meant to be simple and repetitive, like a chant. I find it much easier to get into the mood to play that song than I do with Oh Love, which is just sort of...meh. I loved it too when it first came out, but how I feel about both songs now have made me see that there's definitely a difference between loving a song because I genuinely think it's great, and loving a song because it's the first new Green Day song I've heard in a while It's probably an unpopular opinion that The Network is better than FBHT....but that's what I think.

Win a Green Day bundle: Would be so much better if they offered the boom box and tapes too.

I feel like they could auction it off for charity and make a decent amount of money

I like both Oh Love and Know Your Enemy, alot

Same. I don't mind Know Your Enemy (and kinda love it live, sorry not sorry), but Oh Love and I do not get along.

We have a thread for the show in Krakow here, in the 'Green Day On the Road' section

It makes me kinda sad to see that car looking so horrible now That car brings me nice memories, not Just BOBD or Holiday videos, they arrived to the VMAs 2005 in that car, right? Good times.

Yep! I think they've outdone themselves with 'I put the "riot" in PatRiot' and 'bouncing off the wall' (never once admitting that it's walls) .

^ Oh yes There have been so many things in their lyric booklets that bother me

Only just noticed that in the American Idiot lyric booklet it says "Zieg Heil" in Holiday (which is wrong, it's "Sieg Heil"). Thought I already knew all their spelling mistakes Also just reminded myself of the excessive use of inverted commas in the Warning lyrics: "trust" is a dirty word that comes from such a liar but "respect" is something I will earn in his "vintage suit" and tie for the "most" expensive price Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A. She had a compound fracture in the "trunk" "Mr Whirly" had a catastrophic incident he ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown" "Icon" is the last chance for hope stuffed in a coffin "10% more free" Unnecessary

Scans from kerrang

Well this is random

Just found out that Longview is "I locked the door to my own cell" instead of "I locked the door to my hotel."

In Minority where he sings; "For crying out loud,she screamed unto me", I thought he sang "screamed under me". A bit perverted.

TOO LATE I'M RUNNING THIS FUCKING SHOW. Anyway, I've misheard a shitload of Green Day lyrics in my time. I always thought "born and raised by hypocrites" was "go on and raise my hypocrite"
