Lazy Bones is such a great song. To me, Still Breathing is the continuation of Lazy Bones. Both songs are so honest and personal. In LB Billie describes his struggle with his addiction, that he starts to realize that things are falling horribly apart, but he doesn't want to (or can't) change them yet. In SB, he looks back on this fight and can finally say that he's still alive - although it could have turned out the other way, easily. Those two songs in a setlist together would make me so sad and so happy at the same time.

My parents first saw them on the Nimrod tour and their first thought was "how can just three people put on a show so damn loud?" in the best way possible.

An EP of Give Me Novacaine, Restless Heart Syndrome, Lazy Bones and Still Breathing would be cool

It does. That's what makes Wake Me Up When September Ends, Restless Heart Syndrome, Lazy Bones and Still Breathing so powerful. There's personality embedded in them.

I'd love that too, but even during that one performance recorded on Cuatro! he mangled and truncated the second verse because he was so emotional about that song. If there's one trilogy song Billie doesn't want to play, I think it's the one that brings him back to hell he's been through. There's a reason they never played it live.

I miss 90's green day shows. I love the simple power trio setup without the super big show production, it just seemed more intimate and a little more chaotic, they could just pull out any song at any time per request, even though they do that at times now it still seems more rehearsed. I doubt we'll see another tour like this show here:

I wish they'd play LB live. There's a snippet of it in Cuatro and it sounds awesome. I'm sure I'd love the live version even more...it's a bummer it wasn't included on Demolucious. The album version is ok but suffers from the usual trilogy imperfections.

Song of the day

Can I add Macy's Day Parade to that list?

That's why I love small club/benefit/surprise shows. They can play old stuff like Dry Ice, Judge's Daughter and 409 In Your Coffeemaker without the obligation to play the 'mainstream' Dookie and AI hits.

I couldn't agree with you more!

First off, the title of this thread should be called 'random thoughts about Green Day' because the current title suggests that the actual band will post their own thoughts. My random thought is WTF are we gonna do when WWIII happens. About two weeks ago, my sources (none of the main stream media) said we were within 2 minutes of WWIII. Illuminati. Paris warned us.

If it is, then I will gladly hop onto that train, no shame here.

I hope they keep Private Ale. It's a song I almost completely forgot about but a while ago I saw a video of it from iheart and fell in love with it. It's so fun live!

Foxboro Hot Tubs have played My Generation a couple of times so they're definitely capable of it! I'm also a big fan of Private Ale and No One Knows, would love to see them.

I'm STILL kind of waiting for the promotional videos for the Trilogy. We got two official videos from Uno which was probably all they were going to do anyway. I was SOOO excited when "Stray Heart" came out because for a moment there I thought they could promote it without Billie and everything would turn out alright while he was away. But then Stray Heart went nowhere. We did get The Forgotten, but it wasn't even released as a single, despite a video and tie-in with Twilight (ugh). So many things went wrong there, but the wrongest was getting involved with sparkly fairy "vampires". But the song was good and 4:59 of pasty fairies are better than 2 hours and 1 minute of them for sure. So that was alright. X-Kid is one of my favorite Green Day songs EVER, so I was excited about it being released. I thought surely it would salvage some kind of success out of the wreckage. It could do it! But then we got a cassette tape spinning for a music video and I nearly went over the edge of joking, died of a broken heart!!!!!!!!! I tried to pretend that it was cool, that is was avante guard. But it wasn't. It was garbage. The song deserved better. And the years go by. It's where that I live until I die. Waiting on what could have been from the Trilogy, a truly great experience made by a band in turmoil. It could have been marketed right. It shouldn't have had vampires or tape decks. If they had just stuck to the formula they laid down in the masterpiece "Oh Love" formula they'd STILL be promoting this beast. Naked girls. Rock N Roll. Girls named Lady Cobra. CANDY APPLE RED!!!!!!!

"Amy and Ashley, you were both named after songs by my all time favorite band" "What about me, mom?" "Shut up, Sassafras Roots"

Just another confirmation - GD is Illuminati
