Not even the Trilogy because that era was fun while it lasted. The thing about the trilogy was that you had 3 albums, a lot of material and a feeling like you had your favourite band back without all the posers who liked them during AI and 21cb. I liked them going back to basics with a bit of a new spin. The thing is the actual progressive parts of the trilogy weren’t bad at all. It was nice to hear Mike’s bass playing more than just the root while still covering new ground. The issue was the back to basics moments weren’t their best and there is a lack of cohesiveness mixed in with some weird moments (like nightlife). The production didn’t help. It made the albums sound choppy. This production ruined a song like The Forgotten. The piano sound is terrible especially next to the sound you heard on 21cb just a few years before. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont agree i think the two main problems of the trilogy were the promotion and the amount of songs. the promotion was cut because of Billie’s health so they could not goodly promote their work and there were too many songs, it would be better if they released only one album with 18 songs. Considering the lack of promotion, it would be more understandable for peoples. But imo the production was a good choice and a great direction for them. Trilogy is in my top 5 Green Day album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I love the trilogy, and don't think one album would have worked. Maybe a double that came packaged together? I tried making a double album version, but even that is tough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they just could have promoted Uno as the album, released Tre as a bonus disc of outtakes for a deluxe package and released Dos at a later date as a FBHT second album that might have been the way to go. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pcj Posted June 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2023 It was a difficult and sad time for the band in general and Billie Joe in particular. His illness including his ongoing anxiety issues affecting the promotion of the Trilogy. I remember at the time we were all praying for him and for a speedy recovery. Yet, in an interview at the time Billie Joe said that he was going through one of the most creative periods of his life. Songs and lyrics where virtually bursting out of his head. He had 50+ songs, and just had to get as many of them out there. Quatro, the documentary dvd of how the Trilogy was made, conveyed how Billie Joe was happy, doing what he loved best, making music. A truly brilliant songwriter. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so. Hindsight. If only we could turn the clock back, how many times have we wished we could go back and change things. Maybe GD would've liked to go back and change Trilogy like you suggest. But at that time, it was right for them. Overall, I'm happy how it turned out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtvH0z5PrZj/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohamxx Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Imo Dos is a good album and i dont think it had to be released with Foxboro moreover I never understood why Nightlife was so hated. I think it’s a good song and one of my favorite. Everytime my friends, who don’t really listen to Green Day, are listening to it they like it. I think Dos is a good garage rock album and for me, it has contributed to make Green Day more accessible to a larger audience 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you're right, Dos being released as a Tubbies record would have been perfect! Then nobody would have been overwhelmed with too much Green Day, and for me, I can craft the perfect Trilogy album, now called !8th Avenue Serenade! A concept record about going through a bunch of relationships, haha. 1. Oh Love 2. X-Kid 3. Missing You 4. Loss of Control 5. 8th Avenue Serenade 6. Sex Drugs Violence 7. Stay the Night 8. Troublemaker 9. Dirty Rotten Bastards 10. Walk Away 11. Brutal Love 12. Kill the DJ 13. Fell For You 14. Sweet 16 15. Rusty James 16. The Forgotten How'd we get deep into Trilogy talk in 2023? WIll 1972 feature any kind of lyrical or musical reference to the Trilogy? Just because they ignore on tour doesn't mean they don't think about those records in the studio. It was 50 something songs. Maybe something from those sessions has been revisited, reworked to give it a few more firing cylinders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Insomniac1984 Posted June 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2023 On 6/19/2023 at 5:03 AM, pcj said: imho, I think your being a tad pessimistic. Back in January at Innings Festival, Billie Joe said we'll be back next year. Rob Cavallo confirmed this by saying the new album will be released early next year. That's early not late as you suggest. We already know on here that the album is finished. So, for me that's Jan/Feb for new album and start of US/World tour. I'm drooling already. As for anniversary celebration, Dookie 30th & AI 20th. Well in the past it's only been for 25th, for Dookie, Insomniac & Nimrod in various forms to celebrate. Although, having said that, back on April 19th they celebrated the 33rd anniversary of 39/Smooth by issuing the never seen before video of a live performance 'Paper Lantern' in an Oakland backyard just before the album release, March 25, 1990. Released on IG. Awesome. What would be really really special to celebrate next year, especially for the fans, is a 'Bullet In A Bible 2'. Say next fall/autumn. A CD/DVD, of a full live show of the new album. Uncut this time, from start to finish. Especially for the fans that can't get to see them live for whatever reason. Maybe for that show, to include some Dookie/AI classics. That would be really cool. Dreamland, I know. But if you dream and wish long and hard enough, they sometimes come true. Not pessimistic at all, my friend. If Green Day releases first 1972 is fine for me. 👍 However, I don't mind if they release 1972 in one or two more years to get a solid record. FOAM was ok for me when it came out, but I can't say it is one of their best works (The only song I feel it was cursed to be released on this record is Graffitia). On the other hand, two of the finest GD works from the 90's were rereleased with special content. So, why not wishing that for Dookie and AI? I'm really interested on this. I've been waiting for years for this kind of content. To be honest, Nimrod XXV is OK for me as a product (Nimrod is my favorite GD record ever, I love the live CD with its pros and cons), the Demo album has some interesting and meh stuff (But I wished more) and I love the promo stuff on videos and pictures. "Insomniac XXV" was the first shot about this, just some live track released at that time but remixed and remastered (and they sound so good IMHO), but I enjoyed so much watching the live videos and documentary from Prague 1996!! So, I want the same treatment for Dookie, AI and... yes, I suppose you got it: WARNING. No one can deny, always a new album will hype us (New songs, tour, merchandising, live releases if we are lucky, etc) ... but I'm also that kind of old school fan that loves to find and collect the rare deep cuts. I want to listen to Dookie sessions version of Christie Road or songs like Clusterbomb, Cigarettes & Valentines, and more unreleased stuff. (Demos, Live performances, Early/Alternate Mixes, etc). So, it is just my wish/dream that 2024 is the year for Dookie's 30 anniversary. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redline punk Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 For me, the best era of Billie's voice was in the Trilogy, especially the album Uno. I'm currently listening to Carpe Diem, and his voice is flawless. I might even learn how to use those AI voice generation websites to create a song based on that period 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we where talking about promotion of releases, and what to expect/hope will happen with new album.

I've even learnt more about Billie Joe's singing techniques and tips on guitar playing. Hardly on topic. Imho, I think it adds character to the thread.

That Dude Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 How many ballads are we thinking? 1, 2, more? I think 1. Will there be any wild experimentation or no? I think there will be one song that is zany. Cursing? I'm thinking 12 curses. Mike lead vocals, saxophone, bow guitars? Detailed bass bassing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
