It's starting to feel real now😎🤘

I can totally agree that it's become a bit over romanticized as a backlash to how underrated it was when it came out, and I think it's a great record, one of my favorites, but I can admit it's not the absolute life changing work of brilliant perfection that we sometimes make it out to be. For the sake of discussion though, I will say that for a lot of Green Day's older fan base, people who got into them in the 90s, I think Warning kind of represents this last graceful hurrah during a time period where they were fading from relevance and popularity, which was a bittersweet and kind of sad moment to witness for a lot of us back then. Those who were there remember really supporting the band when they had really fell from the top, despite putting out great work, which is hard for any fan to watch. Warning captured that bittersweetness really perfectly for me, and on top of all of that, the album came during a time when myself and a lot of their fans who had grew up with the band since Dookie, were coming of age themselves... graduating high school, maybe saying goodbye to friends and moving on to college, or starting to join the work force for the first time... I think it kind of weirdly hit all the right feels for a lot of us in 2000, both where the band was at, and where we were at ourselves. I love how Warning captures a moment in their career, as well as a moment in their fans coming of age, both which have become tied together in a tangle of bittersweetness, that the songs on that album really highlight. The fans who were there and experienced what I'm referring to, probably have a similar attachment to Warning, and as such probably praise it to the rooftops, despite the truth being, that it's just a solid pop rock album, not the savior of mankind that we sometimes refer to it as. But isn't that the magic of music? Sometimes even just the simplest rock record can mean the world to someone, given the right context.

Or maybe they're just stoned This is pretty hilarious When Sassafras roots starts... 😂

My friend thought that the first line of Brain Stew was "I'm at McDonald's trying to sleep". Billie's voice is way more clearer in studio recordings now, but when he performs live, he's still quite difficult to understand.

I genuinely love the fact he rhymed parachute and pair of shoes

I forgot about "or a used a pair of shoes" until I watched this. Why. I also have to disagree with some of the "bad" lyrics being bad but it's pretty amusing to watch/listen to Sweet Jesus.

I wonder this a lot too. I'd pay a stupid amount of money to see them in a small club as a three piece again...

Well they played the entire album 21CB a few times when it was released so it must've been played live a few times. And there's a video on YouTube of it being played live

This wins for best misheard lyric. That's hilarious!

Love that one! Chump through to Pulling Teeth actually sound awesome at that speed

Holy shit the backing vocals really do say when you run out of gas! I still don't think it sounds like that when you listen to the song normally (the lead vocal saying when you are the outcast overrides it) but maybe it entered more perceptive people's minds subliminally

That sounds so weird without the music, haha

10 Unforgettable Billie Joe Armstrong Moments http://loudwire.com/10-unforgettable-billie-joe-armstrong-moments/

Alright, here's the truth about nice guys finish last's chorus https://clyp.it/04jgwwcn

I have that one. It's just the CD inside, not a double or a dvd https://www.discogs.com/Green-Day-On-The-Radio/release/6028071

LMAO It looks like a troll tbh or they must be really dumb. YouTube comments are always hell, there are 3 basic types of them and I don't know what is worse - "discourse" like this or "billy is so hawt 😍" or "lol he's so wasted oh my god lol that's so funny and look how fat he became hahaha hope he dies soon".

Found this video.

Okay, this's for all you looking to have your brains liqufied. Enjoy

My husband normally wears his hair slicked back in a pompadour. He walked into the room talking to me while he was putting pomade in his hair and it was sticking up all over. My three year old daughter exclaimed "daddy look like billie joe!" My husband, a non-fan, was not amused. i have taught you well, dear child 😂

This is SO DISTURBING

Funny story: when I was a teenager my mom bought me a Dookie music book so I could learn to play the music on guitar (which I never had the patience for, but that's another story). When I opened it, I discovered that she had gone through the entire book with a bottle of Wite-Out and whited out all the swear words. When it came to Longview, she had not only used the Wite-Out on the word "masturbation" but also drew a line over it in permanent black marker 😂😂 she was not taking ANY chances about having to explain that one to me 😆 I just wrote about this in the story I wrote about growing up in the 90s and how Green Day played a part in it, and I let my mom read the finished product. I hope she got a chuckle remembering that, although I didn't ask 😂

For Everyone Who's Felt Personally Victimized After Hearing Green Day On A Classic Rock Station https://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/wake-me-up-im-old?bftw&utm_term=.xuVB83dzA#.kmgkXrVJZ

OMG, I was reading that, and when I got to the Aerosmith followed by Green Day one, I was thinking "they can't play that on the same station, they're like 20 years apart, it would sound strange", and then it hit me that something released right now is 20 years younger than Nimrod, so same dif. If you need me, I'll be curled up in the corner breathing into a paper bag.

I still hear "and otherwise eat grapes" at the end of the chorus of Desensitized

Hubby always calls Billie a mush mouth, thus all the misheard lyrics. I kept telling him that he isn't a mush mouth anymore, he enunciates now. After the concert, hubby told me he is still a mush mouth because he couldn't understand a single word he said. Maybe we have just gotten used to Billie speak.

The second verse in Uptight drives me nuts! I can't for the life of me figure out what he's saying. Here is what I always hear... I got a start on a deadend road. Keep, keep that orange shifting low. Honest to God, that's how I sing it.

It means he is horny.
