Not for me, it's just because it's such a sweet song about Billie and Mike! Might be my 3rd favourite song on the album, I love it.3 points

I don't think it's meant to be dumb but rather to show what kind of feelings (or impulses) Billie may have through sexuality, in a probable context of alcohol, maybe drugs, the whole rock n rock thing that he lets show, as well as showing that it's also in that precise context that he sought for that sexuality. Fuck Time does sound willingly goofy in a way, and there's a lot of violence on his part, but it's like stating the way he feels in his guts when wanting to have sex (in a particular context). Apart from the fact he expresses how sex can contain violence, FT goes less deep than in other songs, but if anything it's a good song about sex lol. Good song to start Dos. The result of tackling the subject of sex throughout the whole of trilogy songs is some violence (on himself and on the object of the desire), through the tone and the words chosen, especially in Fuck Time, Makeout Party, Lady Cobra, and also Wow That's Loud, and Stop When the Red Lights Flash, as for Dos. But there are lot of other examples. In Wild One he expresses more feelings of fascination, there's less violence, and he says "hello" after saying "my mind is going to blow" as to say "now that I'm fucked up I can come to you" and otherwise he maybe wouldn't. In other songs he also expresses desire even without a clear mention of sex or drugs (that is how I interpret Baby Eyes for instance, and there the result is also lighter and goofier). In Nightlife and even more, Oh Love, he says how he needs a particular person (someone he's got to hold on to) or wishes to fall in love but not in a way that will last (in Oh Love, because his heart is "on a noose" and needs someone just not to fall off the cliff). There it's not real love (the video is criticized but I think they wanted to be clichรฉ because he was talking about that exact sort of sex, and "love"-seeking context). I think it may be the same theme in Stay The Night, and also in Brutal Love, at least one of the themes covered in that song, "bad sex" used like a remedy for his "troubled mind". "How low is this brutal love" may be "what do I really put in that love - too low to be real love" (I say that but when I listen to that song, and I do very often, I do feel love out of it just because of the beauty and intensity of the feelings expressed and the music. And I guess some of us could say our Brutal Love is Billie and it's of course real love lol but as desperate as the desperation he expresses in that song.) So the whole sex references throughout the trilogy are not just sex for the sake of it. He expresses everything he puts in it (and I'm not saying it's necessarily a desire devoid of any feeling as opposed to real love all the time, but he expresses how the desire can be very mental and heartache-related). There are other trilogy songs where the subject is rather love (Stray Heart, Missing You, Sweet 16) and others when it's even something else. Idk I guess I'm in the receptive age for that shit but I really do love listening to the trilogy over most of other GD stuff on a daily basis. I don't even feel like I'm listening to "songs about sex" when I do, it's much more than just that. It's raw but complex, down-to-earth (sometimes to the point of clichรฉ but it makes it relatable) and overall very sensible at the same time. I also like that he could express all these darker sides of him and deliberately linking it to sex. That's just how it is for him and I love the honestly there (well, and the sexy vibes too, for all there is!)2 points

Okay I'm going to get off topic but I want to think back thanks to you I got into green day when I was eleven. I mean I liked them way before then, ever since my parents played their singles in the car. But in 2009 that's when I think I became an actual fan thanks to 21 guns and know your enemy. I was in 5th grade, crazy crazy. In 8th grade the trilogy came out, the first release as a fan. I loved all three but Tre was my favorite at the time. Now it's Dos actually. I did remember being underwhelmed by oh love at first. Oh and I always hated night life. But me my brother and cousin would go on YouTube to find leaks of songs and just be so fucking hyped. Let yourself go was probably our favorite back then. Ahh the nostalgia. Sure the trilogy might be ... the trilogy but they hold a nostalgic piece of my heart no other music ever will. Dos was my first album. Got it for Christmas 2012. I remember thinking "this is awesome but did they have to get me the worst one?" Lol. I then got Uno a day later at my aunt's. My grandma a few days later took us to go shopping at the mall and we bought Tre. Oh and Dookie. I remember my aunt commenting on how Dookie is everyone's first album lol. Me, my aunt, grandpa, grandma, cousins, and brother, listened to it on the drive back. Fun times. Ahhh take me back to those days. So simple and care free and easy I was a senior in high school when RevRad came out. I got the leak early on my PC. I thought it was my favorite green day record at the time because I was so hyped. I still think it's good but it's not my favorite lmao. Year after that me my cousins and my bro finally saw them live in Indy. A dream come true. Seriously dreamed of it since I was 11. Never did I actually think I would. Now I'm 21 and impatiently waiting for this new mysterious record to come out while rambling on like a grandpa with Alzheimer's to this kid. It's just crazy that this band has that kind of staying power. I remember when I was a new fan, shit I still technically am to those who've been listening since the earliest days.2 points

Everyone has their take on it but I'm definitely not bothered by all the sex references in the trilogy, at least not anymore. I'd say Billie's way of talking and singing about sex has made me move on on that subject that was not obvious for me at first (I had a fucked up teen period). @I'm_An_Idiotic_Cat_Lover if you're eleven it's perfectly normal if you're not comfortable with these subjects By the way I love your profile picture, well done!1 point

Cavallo, had versions of both heads already for the Dookie recordings. They were done by Bob Bradshaw at CAE originally then the later ones were modded by Martin Goulb at CAE. Both were used on Dookie. Although the SE is featured much more on Insomniac and that is where the classic live sound Billie still uses today started. Billie ordered a set of clones from Bradshaw while they were recording and they were the amps he used on the Dookie tour and the Woodstock performance. These are the two heads that were spray painted Meat and Pete and later painted pink and silver by the Network. These two heads were used on Insomniac and Nimrod along with an Orange OR100 a Bassman and a Jcm 800. Since the Nimrod recording these amps have only been used live. There are different amps used in the studio since. Warning is primarily a Black faced Bassman and a hiwatt. AI and 21CBD are primarily a Park70 that is modded with a Dookie style mod and an amp we call the Idiot which is also similar but different than an Se Lead (Meat) it has slightly less gain and less bottom end and is generally a โtighterโ sounding amp. AI also features a lot of tweed Victoria amps primarily a 2x10 and a Twin. The Bassman and the HiWatt are also extensively used. Foxboro Hottubs is a Divided by 13 FTR 37 Billie, and a Low power tweed Twin Jason. Trilogy was a mix of all the cleaner amps and a JTM 45. No master volume amps were used. Rev Rad was back to the park 70 and the Divided by 13 primarily. Overall thoughts for trying to get Billies tone with the pedal or any amp is to use WAY less gain than you think. Play a guitar with a hot pickup and dig in!1 point

I'm not going to explain, I'm afraid you're going to see for yourself sooner or later. Feeling like you couldn't be more grossed out is a big mood when it comes to this band but there's no limit really. For me it's the spit and catch routine that makes me feel like I've seen everything. Technically it's banned to post that kind of stuff on here, so it shouldn't appear (but it does because ppl tend to forget about it). Fun fact: it's still to be seen on tumblr despite the recent ban. the algorithm can't recognize it for what it is1 point

That is an absolutely normal way to feel about Trilogy. Ugh haha or not really. I mean, it's not exactly sexy. He sounds like a guy who thinks he's irresistible to young women but in fact he isn't at all. That's what Makeout Party sounds like to me and Fuck Time is more of a jokey song and I don't even know what to say about Nightlife except that it's a meme. Is that an unpopular opinion? Sex on Dos is generally very unsexy. Aaand while I'm at it, another opinion: as long as sex is concerned, Billie was being really gross at that time. I remember one interview where he talked about Fuck Time and he was like lmao marital rape is fun and although I'm not accusing him of anything and I'm not really judging him for it because it seems he was talking lots of bs at that time, it was disgusting and he better watch his mouth. Definitely not something I'd say is a norm that you're supposed to grow to like.1 point

Recently found this rad fuckin' Adeline Street shirt about a month ago on eBay for a really awesome price of just $20 marked down from 54 (that's the actual original price, I checked the tag which was still on it)! I didn't see any other Adeline clothing anywhere else and I couldn't resist so I bought it! It was a little starchy and baggy for me at first, but after a few runs through the wash to soften and tighten it up, it fits pretty okay as long as I double-roll the sleeves up (I like my sleeves cut high 'n tight on short-sleeve shirts).1 point

These two songs are a classic example of how easily BJ can write lyrics. Younglood is simple but cringy/corny - Back in the USA is simple but strong.1 point
