Love that song! One of my favourites!

Btw, do you know Florence Welch's cover of it?

Great song. Simple but great. The solo might be one of the best they have written so far.

Definately a live song, I love the transition into Welcome To Paradise they usually do. Here's an amazing video of it with a great moshpit :)

I looooove this song! Really my favorite of Nimrod, which is also my favorite CD of Green Day.

Odly, the first image that pops in my head when I hear this song: the hands-in-the-pants thing Billie Joe used to do. A shame he didn't do it on the 21CB tour :whistle:lol:

my first thought too :eyebrow: and yeah pity he didn't do that at the concerts I've been to :cry:

And this song counts to my fav songs in every case!!! Fuckin' love it! Love to listen to it in the car or at every other place! :D

A SONG OFF NIMROD :woot::wub:

I love Hitchin' a Ride, one of my favorites from that album. The live version is so good, whenever I listen to this song, I remember seeing Green Day live and hearing this song. Ah, good times. It makes me want to go crazy every time! Haha.

omg that's weird, I've just been listening to that and thinking about what the lyrics mean and how similar it is to On the Wagon :o

haha I love it, and the music video...but best of all, when it's played live :P

I like this video but I listen to this song not so often as I used to) may be my interest will come back because "Hitchin' a ride" really deserves attention. I can believe that Billie wrote it when he was so young :) it's amazing!

Great choice. Looking forward to discussing this one on the podcast later :)

This song has been a really integral part of Green Day's live show for the last decade or so. It's the part of the set where Billie Joe really hands it over the the audience to get the energy up, and get ready' to go crazy.

I freaking love this song.

It's one of the few I can actually play on bass. :lol:

Not to mention it's murder on expert difficulty in GDRB. :shifty:

Fucking beautiful song - so dark and full of the insidious voice of addiction, so fucking tight musically, all the tension building to the big unleash of that banshee-wailing, call-and-response solo that's so fucking shit-hot. Fun as it is live, I prefer the studio version, where the song gets to have its way, completely.
