I like them both quite evenly. I don't know about "best", I do think WICA is in the top 3! It is so original and unique in every way. Lyrically is genius, basslines are insanely pleasing to the ears as are the drums, it has a cool twist in the beat that only Tre could have added in. Should ALWAYS stay in the set, big time crowd pleaser!! Love that damn tune, and as said above, it totally has one of the best intro's ever. The sound Billie got on the basic riff he had there could not have been better.

I was out to lunch with a friend and Still Breathing started playing. I was so distracted I could barely focus on what she was saying. It's amazing how different of an experience it is to just catch Green Day on the radio, even though I can listen to them any time I want.

I can listen to the intro to When I Come Around on constant loop, its that good.

Before I went to school yesterday, Good Riddance started playing on the radio. As soon as my mom heard it she rolled her eyes at my pitchy singing and fled the room in less than two seconds

I love this one -

Yeah I got that one wrong. Ridiculous.

I agree. The feeling of being distant is present in many trilogy songs.

Me too, along with Basket Case and Longview. Gotta say When I Come Around is probably my favorite GD song. It did start it all for me, after all.

Since when do you listen to hubby??? I adore both songs. But, the reason I like Still Breathing better is that for Brutal Love I feel like Billie is being distant. He is saying how hard this love is and he just seems so conflicted. With Still Breathing I feel like he is letting everyone in. Brutal Love pushes us away, Still Breathing lets us in. It feels like he is in a better place with Still Breathing.

I can listen all When I Come Around on constant loop Their best song in my opinion.

I just realized that "desperate but not hopeless" is exactly the way I feel about the world right now. I love Murder City!

I like it! Mike's little bass fill and "Heineken, fuck that shit!" make it brilliant.

Something I've never seen anybody say ever: I like the My Generation cover. One time I had it on repeat for some reason during a road trip and I fell in love with it.

They're both extremely emotional songs, but different for the reasons you stated. Brutal Love is such a raw song—more than a particular situation, it just evokes feelings. It's about struggle and longing and pain, and it just hits you in your gut. Because of everything surrounding the release of the albums, that song was remarkably difficult to listen to, as much of a masterpiece as it is. That whole period was a weird time for me as a fan, and this song really captures that sense of heartache I felt at the time. But for as emotional as it is, it is still distant, which is how a lot of the trilogy songs feel. Still Breathing—and all of RevRad, for that matter—is beautiful because it's so damn honest. Being honest on purpose. That makes all the difference in the world. Brutal Love hits me in the gut, but Still Breathing puts a lump in my throat. I have always felt that Brutal Love was an absolute masterpiece, and objectively, it still might be my favorite. But everything Still Breathing signifies and the feeling of hope it gives me puts it on a higher level. In Bullet in a Bible, Billie described JOS as being a song that people even couldn't describe as being their favorite, that it was something bigger than that. That's how I feel about Still Breathing.

They are the go to albums for the broken hearted. That is when they can be truly related to. Tre especially.

Longview actually started it for me, but I like WICA better. And I agree, it should never leave the setlist.

Should have said my favourite. It was the first GD song I heard.

WICA is the best GD song & when I hear SB on the radio I cringe - its much better live (which I will find out in May)

I saw it too and I was so excited I had to take a picture

I think they just wanted to let everybody know he played on those records so they gave him credit for that. That doesn't make him really an official full member. He wasn't needed this time around for recording, so that's it. No mystery

Found this nice pedometer app today.

it comes from an old MDC song, the chant was originally "no war, no kkk, no fascist usa". MDC was originally from Texas I think but they moved to San Fransisco so it's pretty likely that the guys in Green Day saw them back in the 80s

It was around before, it got big in the massive protests after Trump won the election.

How do they figure AI only has 9 songs on it...

Don't know why, but I'm enjoying the hell out of imagining that scene It's completely bizarre, but today I've been listening to some GD I haven't heard in a while, (Redundant, Pulling Teeth, Good Riddance, JOS) and it's affecting me so weirdly it's kinda funny. I mean seriously, lately I've been listening to RevRad, Weezer's new album, some Nirvana, TOP, and some other random stuff, and BAM! All of a sudden I'm experiencing a feeling so intense it's like a flavor. It's like I'm back in spring again, just before summer, and I feel amazing like I did then. Apparently I've had Green Day with withdrawal. Green Day is the cure for depression dear world!

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.

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

Is he telling someone to behave?

A British MP (member of parliament), Nigel Adams, just mentioned his disappointment when trying to buy tickets for 'one of his favourite bands, Green Day', when raising a question about legislating ticket resales sites during Prime Minister's Questions!! Transcript: 'A few weeks ago, I thought I'd successfully bought 4 tickets online for one of my favourite bands, Green Day, only to be told that the tickets were unavailable and the gig sold out. But within minutes, I could buy the tickets on another site for twice the price. It turns out the ticket site had been the victim of a computerized attack by organised touts, who then resell the tickets at inflated prices. Will the prime minister ask her ministers to give close consideration to my amendment to the digital economy act, which would make the computerized harvesting of tickets for resale an offence. Similar legislation exists elsewhere, and it would go a long way to protecting consumers and genuine music fans.' Video:
