I totaled my brand new Chevy Volt today. I’m pissed. >:( He looks more like the pedophile than rock n roll type of guy. Also, in that article he mentions how he will still listen to Roger Waters (Floyd) yet Waters is and has been way more outspoken than Billie but RW is full of hate like him.

I mean, it was implied that Trump is both a more trustworthy and stable politician / person than Obama, Hillary Clinton or even Bernie Sanders? Really? He then of course precedes to straw man Billie's criticism of Trumps war-mongering and instead claims he ''sides with North Korea''. The overt bigotry towards minorities and LGBT members goes without saying. Yeah, absolute nonsense and doesn't paint an at all good picture of all those ''brain-washed bible loving christian hypocrites'' in the south, summed up very nicely in American Idiot: Well maybe I'm the faggot America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along to the age of paranoia Lovely! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like one of the best bands (prog rock) for sure are fading. GD not really known for their album covers and don’t belong in a top 50 list. I knew Dookie would be in there because of where I am, never mind that Nimrod is BY FAR their best album cover and the best album cover of all time isn’t even in there: Do this. Homework for you all. Get your phone or however you ingest music and listen to every word on Dark Side of the Moon from the opening sound effect and every note between with your very best over ear can headphones: Listen to this woman sing and tell me what you have heard that even sounds like it: Us & Them (basically two chords that will melt your soul) They were the first to toy with sound effects and synths in the 60s before anyone. DSOTM is one of only 3 albums where every song is a fucking masterpiece and it was also one of the first rock operas although very loose.

Another one is Heartbreaker by Free - can you tell I had a big brother lol! Funny you say that. I was having a discussion with my friend on whether or not they really fall under the progressive rock genre and in reality, although they certainly aren’t balls out rock and they are highly intelligent music, they are a far cry from bands like Yes, Genesis or Crimson. If you put a gun to my head and asked me to name prog rock bands, Floyd wouldn’t be the first or 10th to pop up. To me, like Beastie Boys and bands like that, they cross genres and are liked by most music lovers. How can you enjoy music and not like DSOTM. GD are sort of WERE genre breakers for punk back in the day to a much lesser extent but yeah, Dark Side and even The Wall or two of the best laying in bed with headphones on listen you can have in music. That it was made in the mid 70s and sounds like it could have been made yesterday and still be amazing says a lot. And agree on Heartbreaker and Free. I’ve learned to like some real prog rock over the years though. Especially yes. It came from tiny European travels though. Aside from Floyd and the top 40 stuff from Yes, prog rock never took off in the states as much as Europe. I think of it as a British style of music. Maybe Britain’s country music. You win. Thank me later but listen to Hendrix Electric Ladyland with cans but you have to give it more than one chance. Rep to you girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 This week’s episode of Superstore asks the classic question, “What do you think would be a good piñata for a Green Day-themed birthday party for a 2-year-old?” If your eyebrows just went up so high they fell off your face, congratulations. You and Amy (America Ferrera) have that in common. In this exclusive clip from the installment, called “Angels and Mermaids,” Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom) is looking for a little help planning her daughter Harmonica’s party, especially since she wants to honor her ex-convict mom’s punk rock suggestion for its theme. When Amy suggests something a little more age-appropriate, like Minions, Cheyenne makes an excellent point: “[My mom] just got out of jail — Minions are criminals. That could suck her right back into the lifestyle.” Then it’s Amy’s turn to make an excellent point: “Mermaids are a lot like Green Day: They’re half-fish, half-human. They’re like rebels, down for whatever. In fact, they used to call Green Day the mermaids of ’90s rock.” More existential wisdom is sure to come from the new episode of Superstore, airing Thursday at 8 p.m. on NBC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mar Posted January 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2018 Superstore is one of my favorite shows on TV rn so I loved last night's ep! Cheyenne is planning her 2-year-old's birthday party, but her mother, who just got out of jail, is meddling/taking control of the party. Green Day is the mom's favorite band, so she wants the party to be GD-themed and Cheyenne asks her coworkers for help in getting stuff for it. They try to talk Cheyenne into a more age-appropriate thing, like mermaids. Cheyenne is uneducated and naive so Amy (America's character) uses that dumb reasoning and it's enough to (temporarily) change her mind. We discover that a coworker loves the band and Basket Case plays in the store, too. They've been using muzak versions of songs this season, so it was nice to hear the real song! Side note: I could see GD bounce houses and pinatas being amazing. Hey, we got candles, why not? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually turned out to be my favorite part — Jonah says he likes Green Day and Amy challenges him to name three songs and he starts going off and names like eight! It was pretty much every single from Dookie and AI. She walks away he’s still naming them. It was funny (and totally something I’d do 😂) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/1994-the-40-best-records-from-mainstream-alternatives-greatest-year-20140417/green-day-dookie-19691231 1. Green Day, 'Dookie' If Pearl Jam were too epic was for you, Nirvana too oblique, if your suburban teen inertia sprang from tedium not trauma — well, these nagging brats were here to spill hair dye on your living room carpet. Tré Cool's stop-start drum swats, Mike Dirnt's back-talk bass melodies, Billie Joe Armstong's nuanced machine-gun chording — each element in these 15 simple little tunes (save the goof bonus track) had a twitchy precision that'd get a fancier band called "arty." The noodling bass line for "Longview" may be Mingus compared to the heavy-thumbed pulse Dee Dee Ramone bequeathed to punk's low-end, but it's also every bit as aimless as a song about jerking off in front of the TV demands. "Basketcase" belittles its own stoner panic, "When I Come Around" is a punchy shrug of lovers' squabble, and the fierce sweep of "Welcome to Paradise" hints at the rock operas to come once they grew up to become a fancier, even artier band. Keith Harris From The Killers to Green Day: 5 bands from my childhood that still make music today 3. Green Day 1980s punk-rockers, Green Day, revived the punk vibe from the 70s and presented it to an all-new audience. Their third album, Dookie, which included what is now alluded to as a cult classic, Basket Case, sold over 10 million copies, paving the way for hardcore, metal and alternative music. Their imprint on the musical timeline later saw them win a Grammy for 2004 album American Idiot, which kicked off an aggressive rock-opera era. The band, fronted by Billie Joel Armstrong, became more ambitious releasing three albums back to back, appropriately titled Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! Their hard work soon saw them claim their spot in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Their 2016 release of Revolution Radio stole the UK number one spot. The band has since released a compilation of their greatest hits throughout the years. https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/from-the-killers-to-green-day-5-bands-from-my-childhood-that-still-make-music-today-a3739101.html 9 Easiest Green Day Songs to Play on Guitar https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/9-easiest-green-day-songs-to-play-on-guitar-597915/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums 1. Green Day, 'Dookie' (1994) Naturally, a band named after a day spent smoking pot would perfect youth disillusionment, making mega-hits about masturbation("Longview"), anxiety ("Basket Case") and ditching suburbia ("Welcome to Paradise") on their major-label debut. Green Day's third LP is a pop-punk gut-punch, perfectly marrying tight melody with a get-bent mentality. After the grunge-dominated early Nineties, that irreverence was a breath of fresh air. "There was a lot of whining in rock at the time," Billie Joe Armstrong told Rolling Stone 20 years after the album's release. "By nature, we're extroverts. So that's what came across in our songs. We knew we were entering an arena of bands that we didn't like." Despite its underdog spirit, Dookie was a massive success. It was the first pop-punk album that proved the "pop" part of the subgenre tag to be completely feasible, in part because Dookie was an album aimed squarely at teens: either literal ones, or those who never quite left that era of their lives behind. The LP spawned a brand new generation of punks, making the form feel younger and more accessible than ever. "I could care less if people think I'm insignificant because I'm 22 years old," Armstrong told Rolling Stone in a 1995 interview. "That's great. We caused a generation gap."

MillenniumFan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Boulevard of Broken Dreams has now finally overtaken (or will any minute now overtake) 21 Guns in terms of views, taking over it’s long-time position as most watched / most popular video on their YouTube channel, a position it held for over 8 years! This almost historic event (haha) also confirmes that BOBD is the definite number one long time hit, whereas 21 Guns was a lot more popular at the time than it is now and it’s popularity seems to be dwindling a bit. BOBD will therefore also be the first video on the channel to reach 200 million views, setting yet another milestone. In other YouTube news: As predicted, Back In The USA has now climbed to place of 5 of the most successful / popular music videos of the RevRad era, currently hovering at around 7.6 million views. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
