Yes! I thought the same with Wow! That's Loud. Also you just answered my question of what I thought Stray Heart sounds similar to :P

Haha :lol: And 27th Ave Shuffle is one of my favorites from Stop Drop and Roll!!!, but I think I prefer Wow! That's Loud :dance:

So is "Fuck Time" Green Day covering Foxboro Hot Tubs, or Foxboro Hot Tubs covering Green Day?

Neither, Fuck time is Billie joe saying to the Rev "damn i like that song" and the rev going "well here you go bitch" :lol: So now its Green Days song. True story bro.

Judging by what has gone on over the last couple of months I hope Billie and The Rev go their seperate ways from now on!

I've come to the conclusion that Dos! is much better coming from speakers than headphones. But I think it'll be even better live.

Since I've listened to it that way a few times, I've noticed a few new things. See You Tonight and the chorus from Wow! That's Loud remind me of their cover of The Who's A Quick One While He's Away. Also, I knew that the way he says the name in Ashley sounded like another song, but couldn't figure it out. It bugged the hell out of me. It's Reto! :lol:

I've listened to it the first time yesterday and this bothered me instantly, I was looking on google if anyone every mentioned it. Didn't find anything.

There's really something wrong with that line :(

Yeah, you'd think the producer would've had him re-sing that part.

OMG you guys

Listen to "That's All Right" cover (B-side on 21CB)

Billie says "stop when the red lights flash baby"

what the fuck is with this phrase? Lol

He's obviously a stickler for traffic laws. :P

I Only Listened to Fuck Time... I promised myself I won't Listen to Dos until I receive it (which i will probably get it for christmas sadly) I've heard mixed reviews of Dos! i've heard many good and many bad things about it. with the trilogy, i am keeping myself open to anything.... with uno, ive made the mistake and listened to a few of the songs.... i hope my intuition of Dos being good is right...

LOL now I want a song with that line:

"red alert is the colour of the light, and I just wanna see the red lights flash, and I don't know If I'll stop or not"

EDIT: ".....and my mind plays tricks on me....and I walk alone.... Till the lights turn green... " XD

Hey guys, Is Baby Eyes for Baby Cobra(from Mystic knights of the cobra) ??

'cause I'm pretty sure it is....plus that girl posted the song on her facebook page.... what do you think?

It certainly makes some sense. Why write a song about one of the Mystic girls and not the other?

I feel like a bad stan i only listened to dos three times but that's because i cant stop listening to lana del reys new EP its so amazing! dos to me sounds bad in comparison (i know they're completly different but whatever)

a lot of songs are so fillerish it feels like insomniac 2.0 i will listen to it more and hopefully it will grow on me but it never happened with insomniac so who knows

fuck time, lazy bones, wild one, nightlife and stray heart are absolutly perfect though.

Clearly sexual frustration.

I actually like Nightlife a lot! It's grown on me more the more I listen to it. I love the sleazy vibe the song has going on. It's awesome :D

It is very sleazy, yeah. it kinda gives me chills... Makes me feel like I am walking down a dark alley alone xP. Without the real danger.

Lady Cobra's rap is the devil on Billie's shoulder going "yeah, yeah, come on boy, I know you wanna do it...." The rap lyric near the end "I run the show" tells you everything you need to know: St. Jimmy is back, and it's not the "everybody's fun time" St. Jimmy. This time it's dangerous, and it's real.

The feeling i've had for a while is that, after American Idiot and then the toll 21CB took on the band, Billie especially was desperate to break out of that little niche they'd gotten themselves into. He didn't want to be seen as a political band, or a boring band, or a soap box band; I noticed it first on the 2012 leg of the tour when things really started to get looser and more fun. And in turn, that's how a lot of these songs were born, I think. It almost seems like a desperate attempt at keeping hold of his youth, of proving he can be fun and spontaneous and that it's not all about politics or having a point to make. We've heard them explain these albums in that way so many times - "We just wanted to have fun".

I kind of agree/disagree with you. Like, yeah to these songs being born out of a place of wanting to be free - fuckit it was absolutely the right thing to do, it was necessary ; the minute you feel like you're being defined is the minute you gotta refute it, 'deny the allegation as it's written'. The place they were at had become limiting, like a role they were obligated to fulfill, and sure as fuck they had to shrug that off, because it was stultifying to creativity - and I don't say never-never to Green Day making big statements or political comment, they could just as easy come back to it when it moves them, just not now. Now, in these records, they have their own agenda, and it's about their creative path.

So yeah while these songs can maybe represent and express exile from 'youth', the fun and spontaneity is about that expression, not about the content. Times where they're revisiting their earlier stuff is not - to me - about desperately trying to hold on to youth, but about going to first principles, finding that place where there were no particular expectations of them, where they were free. I think that on these albums, they've totally succeeded in finding that free place - they are having fun, regardless of how dark the subject matter is.
