I also believe that the video for When I Come around, which was only premiered on May 1st 1995 or something, was exclusive to MTV Europe, that McM and VIVA, for example, couldn't air it.

At that point, the third channel of our national TV would steal MTV Europe at night, up to 11 in the morning and then it was scrambled, so they switched to showing the other two channels and I could not see the video from...hmmm...early July to mid December, when it suddenly came up on a local channel at my friend's birthday party.

But that was good, given that I didn't see Longview on TV from August 29th 1995 to March 14th 1998. O_O

Before anybody asks: yes, I remember the darndest things and yes, I kept a diary of "seeing Billie Joe on TV" when I was a kid.

Longview and Welcome to Paradise haven't got too much play here too, the only huge singles from Dookie here are Basket Case, She and WICA, radiowise of course

It's interesting how it varies. I remember Hitchin' a Ride gettiing far more airplay here than all Dookie and Insomniac singles combined. Also, on this shitty toplist show I watched back then, all Nimrod singles topped the list at one point or another.

Green Day mentioned here http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/home_top-lifestyle-news/151922812/Rozwell-Kid-crash-lands-in-St.-Louis

The sarcastic wit of Bomb the Music Industry! meets the catchiness of Green Day in the newest tune by the Boston folk-punk outfit Drunken Logic.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER DROP AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES

Fans will no doubt be keen to catch a glimpse of new music from the band who have previously toured the Everblack material when they last visited Australia in 2014 for Soundwave Festival alongside Green Day and Avenged Sevenfold.

Guys, help me out here. What songs were written before the writing of the album they're on even start? For example, Haushinka was written years before Nimrod came out. That kind of thing.
So far I've got:
Armatage Shanks (Written the day before Dookie came out)

Too Much Too Soon (Cigarettes and Valentines song)

Haushinka (Dookie demo song)

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? may have been as it was performed at a 39/Smooth era gig.

J.A.R. (Dookie demo song)

One For the Razorbacks and Words I Might Have Ate might have been. In the 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours Deluxe Version on iTunes there are live versions for these songs. What I don't know is the DATE in which this occurred.

Geek Stink Breath (Performed in Jaded in Chicago as a soundcheck)

Welcome to Paradise (Dookie version, lel,)

I'm sure there's LOADS I missed. If you have anything to add or whatnot or any corrections, please let me know.

It was not huge in Europe at all, to the point that I didn't have a chance to hear the song until Shenanigans came out seven years later. I heard a couple of seconds of it when Angus was advertised on TV and that was it.

ISH, not Shenanigans. I'm disappointed in you. All the work I put into raising you and that's how you thank me.

Haha, what the hell? I always get weird around you

Drama Queen was supposed to be on 21stCB but got dropped. Stay The Night was written and performed on the 21stCB tour. Fuck Time and Stray Heart were performed by the FBH back in 2010.

That's all I can remember right now.

Longview was played at various gigs in various stages of completion, with different lyrics each time, and Don't Want To Fall In Love was a Dookie demo too.

I could be wrong. I thought I read it somewhere on GDC.

Stray Heart premiered at the Tiki Bar in 2011. And everyone went apeshit over it, as it was one of the only better-quality recordings from the show.

Tre from the trilogy is listed as an honorable mention for a bad album from a good band. I think it's weird that they singled Tre out from the rest of the trilogy and how they chose to play The Forgotten, but thats just my opinion.

The Forgotten is a good summary of the Trilogy as a whole. Overly long, doesn't really go anywhere, shit lyrics, and tries to play off the success of previous hits whilst missing the factors that made those hits so good.

Had he even been born that long ago? :P
