I think there are a lot. Dreamcatcher?

What is That Just Happened and Gabriella?

Does anyone have the lyrics for these? And more?

It's unknown how many songs didn't make to Trilogy, but Billie claimed to have written 60 or 70 songs during Trilogy sessions.

That Just Happened is Cuatro DVDs bonus song. Obviously very raw but still good tune.

Gabriella was played live in Tiki Bar. Not sure if footage exists.

i always see 21CB as solid/professional song writing, but the trilogy feels like they had a real creative flow, really sad how it turned out in the end

give me anything (new) from the trilogy-times, as a re-release, anniversary, at a show, i will be super excited

but when you see the band at their shows, dodging anything they wrote in the past 13 years, after 21CB, we should face the sad reality and enjoy the trilogy as it is

In Cuatro we can also hear a few songs that didn't make in on the albums. They are listed in the credits.

Part of Gabriela was was used in Amanda - the battering ram part

[Insomniac1984]

Apart from Dreamcatcher, Hotfoot Jamboree, Ruby Mae, Gabriella, That just happened, there are other outtakes like:

* Mike vs Serena (I think that's the name... It was a tune in a video on CUATRO DVD where Mike and Serena Williams were playing ping pong, I think)

* State of Shock: We got that demo in Demolicious

* Baby Blue: This song was used in These Paper Bullets, but played by The Quartos band.

* Youngblood: I read or listened to in an interview this song was originally from Trilogy Sessions... not so sure to be honest.

* I'm alright.

* Hello Firecracker

* Sattelite

* Jezebel

* Can't believe my own eyes

I don't know if some studio covers can be considered as a part of trilogy sessions: Hybrid moments (Recorded as a gift to Metallica), Goodbye to romance (The band played this cover in secret shows in 2011)

At this point I think I've read Youngblood now being originally from Warning, 21st Century Breakdown and Trilogy sessions and was supposed to be in Cigarettes & Valentines album. Pretty sure all of these is just bullshit. Atleast Drama Queen actually was from 21st Century Breakdown Era if nothing else.

It's from the 21CB era. I think people have just said C&V because every time the band mentions a song being written a while ago, everyone just assumes it must be from C&V. Idk where people are getting trilogy or Warning though

Stray Heart missing on vinyl is stopping me from buying any of the three albums on vinyl

They should make a Trilogy vinyl where all three records are nothing but Stray Heart, but then accidently have Nightlife as track 7 on Dos for absolutely no reason.  HAHA!

With all the hate surrounding Trilogy and Father of All, it would be interesting to see if they kind of redesigned the covers and make altered the songs a little bit.    I absolutely love them, but I know most people do not.      If they gave them better covers, titles and made the songs sound more like Dookie, Idiot or even Nimrod or Insomniac.....that could be enough to win people over on Billie Joe's lyrics that in conjunction with weird music, made people kind of confused.

Billie was rotating lyrics across multiple songs at the time. When it comes to the trilogy it feels like he wrote a lot of lines he felt were great but they didnt seem to be tied to any specific song or theme.

Probably a big reason for a lot of the lyrical criticism the effort gets. The lyrics are really random.

Youngblood was written for Rev Rad but they reworked parts from an earlier session for part of the song. That’s how I understood it atleast.

That’s part of his process though, and it’s something he’s always done. I wouldn’t consider that a mark against the quality of songwriting. It’s just that most of the time you don’t know that subpar songs have been cannibalized to make better songs. Look how surprised we were to find Church on Sunday - a great song that tells a coherent story about compromise in a relationship - borrowed bits from Black Eyeliner. Sometimes lyrics that are reused can take on new meaning and suddenly fit like jigsaw pieces where they didn’t quite fit before.

And for all we know, we may discover that lyrics in a song on the new album could be borrowed from One Eyed Bastard

Yeah, maybe the insightful lyrics in the chorus 😁

[Reverend Strychnine Twitch]

Quantity of the songs on the trilogy, sometimes makes me forget how lovely these songs are. I'm not sure if we will ever have an anniversary edition of the trilogy but these songs always make a smile on my face. 
 

-Dirty Rotten Bastards

-Brutal Love

-X-Kid

-Baby Eyes

-Rusty James

-Missing You

-8th Ave Serenade

-Little Boy Named Train

-Sweet 16

[Clockwise]

Can't wait for the 20th anniversary tour when they play the entire trilogy from front to back every night. It will easily be their best selling tour (maybe best selling of all time in the history of music) just because of how beloved the trilogy is.

[Miko]

You guys have no idea how fucking excited I would be to hear any of the tracks from Trilogy live one more time. Besides shitty Oh Live attempt this year and the most random Nuclear Family and Amy performances from RR Tour, these songs have been long gone from the setlist. Longshot atleast brought Stay the Night back but even that project seems to be dead again.

8th Avenue Serenade is just the best ❤️

[That Dude]

I was listening to Smash Mouth and Slipknot and suddenly wanted to listen to Dos for some reason.   Weird.

It is sad. I used to have a really good friend that would go to GD shows with me. Unfortunately over the years things ended rocky but one of the last shows we went to together he mentioned “why no love for the trilogy on the setlist?”

my answer is great question, Billie probably doesn’t want to go down that road, maybe the critics got to them? Maybe it’s poor crowd reaction?

I don’t think it’s the last one, if you play the right trilogy song you will get a reaction. The trilogy wasn’t as big as a failure as the media played it out to be. Anyone who was listening to Green Day for years atleast listened to the albums and had their 10-14 songs they preferred. Sales were low because all rock sales were low and all album sales were on a massive decline. It was hard to even sell one album let alone 3. Uno charted at number 2 the first week with solid sales. 
 

They just didnt pick up new fans and then clear channel were fucking with them and then they were nowhere to be found when Billie entered rehab. Them coming back for 2013 and playing some massive shows was actually a solid comeback and those shows were good.

It would actually be a cool stunt to pull tbh. You guys hated the trilogy so much well that’s all we’re going to play! 
 

Less Than Jake did concerts for each of their albums which was really cool. 
 

I feel like Green Day is so far from doing stuff like that now. Maybe the odd show here and there they’ll do it but they could easily get a lot of attention by committing to do a short tour where the first half is American Idiot. They could even take a short break (rush used to do this which is awesome I can take a piss without missing a song!) after the break go right into Dookie.

And also speaking of the trilogy being lost on the setlist theres really no 21cb songs either if you invalidate KYE and 21 guns

Billie said in the Audible that he has the hardest time listening to 21CB because of what a stressful experience it was making it. He might feel that way about the Trilogy era too and not want to revisit a lot of the songs from the 2009-2012 period. He’s also described himself as “a lazy bastard” on more than one occasion when it comes to relearning old songs so I don’t see him ever relearning all of Uno for example

[suffoKate]

I always thought the Trilogy songs would sound their best in smaller venues (as seen in Quatro). Completely stripped down, loud guitars and 2 backing vocalists. Those songs have a certain club energy feel to me, kinda like pinhead gunpowder, coverups or longshot. Make it happen!

They do, which is why they fit so well in The Longshot sets.

Yes, but he’s being self-deprecating too, we know he’s far from a lazy bastard, he works a lot, has demonstrated regularly that he needs to be occupied.

But theres a level of complacency since the 2000s that is evident. Which is ok, think about in a normal career. There are times when you really kick it and theres other times you ride the wave and appreciate what you already have.

All of the 2010s was riding the wave of what they built in the 90s and 2000s. And rightfully so. But at some point you need to break the status quo again.

Of course, they’ve been successful for a long time, the early hunger and anger clearly dissipates.
