Guest Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 On a side note, could someone tell me where that 'died of a broken heart' moment is? I mean, what song? Right now I can't remember it, but I think it's on ¡Tré! and I remember that I loved that part because of the long note. I even recall hearing it yesterday or so. X-Kid.

DannyDirnt Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 X-Kid. He said it right there in his comment... Oh, I thought he meant the whole X-Kid was a separate powerful stand-alone moment Okay, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonflower93 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 X Kid's video is intense. I love the song too. One of my favorites from Tre!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November's Storms Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have 3 favourite songs from the trilogy, and 2 of them are on Tre. Brutal Love, Dirty Rotten Bastards and Stray Heart all stand out immediately as some of GD's best songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiotic Tendency... Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wow. Delayed until April 9. I totally didn't see that coming at all, Warner. At this rate, Half-Life 2 Episode 3 will actually be out before Cuatro. False. Cuatro is out for Box-set buyers in April, Half Life 3 Ep. 3 will be out in June. The DVD might not even be released to non box-set buyers as it says it's exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPhil Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 X-Kid live is awesome! Although they might have played it a bit too fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It took some time, but I've REALLY come around on this album. Ironically, I'm not so keen on DOS anymore, when I once thought it was by far the best of the three. TRE might be my favorite trilogy record right now. So weird.

StPaul Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Favorite album of the three. Really hard to pick my favourite but if I have to choose it would be between Dirt Rotten Bastards and The Forgotten. Can't decide between them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWingPack Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My favorite song off of this album was X-Kid but with every listen i like Missing You more and more. It could be my favorite right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Perron Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Tre! is definentely my favorite album of the trilogy because it seems like the most consistent of the albums, As much as I enjoy "Uno!" and "Dos!", they can sound inconsistent at times, but "Tre!" reminds me of a cross between "Nimrod" and "American Idiot". "Brutal Love" is a great opener with the ragtime piano that beautifully mixes the sound of Nazerth's "Love Hurts" mixed with R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" with Billie Joe driving on the Sam Cooke vocals, that end's with a Glam Rock and Queen influenced guitar sound, "Missing You" hit's a chord with a song that is as much Alternative, as it could be in the 90's Adult Contemporary Rock field (i.e Gim Blossoms), 8th Avenue Serenade remind's of something that could've been a B-Side song of Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run", "Drama Queen" scream's The Beatles influence, "X-Kid" (my favorite song off the trilogy), has a catchy but smart New Wave guitar riff, mixed with great vocals and amazing lyrics, "Sex, Drugs, and Violence" drives on the influences of The Jam, The Ramones, and even The Sex Pistols, "A Little Boy Named Train" and "Amanda" are both Pop-Punk sounding, autobiographical song's, "Walk Away" reminsices The Who's "Baba O'Riley", "Dirty Rotten Bastards" (my second favorite song of the trilogy), mixes between the Irish Punk Rock sound's of The Pogues and Dropkick Murphy's, with a hardcore Punk sound that bring's us a kickass Mike Dirnt bass solo, and a Billie Joe guitar solo that rip's into something that Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, or even Randy Rhoads would do, "99 Revolutions" is an incredible, but late to the party call to arm's about the "Occupy Wallstreet Movement" that mixes Cheap Trick with The Clash, and "The Forgotten" reminisces John Lennon's "Mind Games" and "Imagine" with a Tom Kitt orchestration that end's the crazy, trilogy party!

Todd Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't know if anyone's pointed this out- I've been kinda sick of Tre since.... January? But Brutal Love has two parts kinda, in the second part "drop out" is repeated a lot. The Forgotten kinda has two parts, in the second part "don't look away" is repeated a lot.

ZSebs Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I don't know if this has been said yet, but I remember when there was a lot of discussion about the line in Sex, Drugs, and Violence where they say "English, math, and science." I always thought that the line meant that sex, drugs, and violence was something that was so basic to him that it was like english, math, and science. If that doesn't make sense, sorry. If someone already said this, then I am sorry as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 How is that annoying? As the opening and closing of Tre, that feature on those two songs really unite the album It's pretty annoying to hear them repeat the exact same line over and over again. In Brutal Love 'Dropped out//Dropped it in years', in DRB 'Carried away' and in The Forgotten 'Don't look away'. Those become really repetitive with time. It's like with the 'Home, we're coming home again' part in Homecoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone already said this, then I am sorry as well I don't think you have to apologize for taking a lyric a certain way, even if someone else might've already. But yeah, I never got all the shit about this line. I really like it. It's certainly interesting to think about because what you are saying makes sense, and it's a pretty insightful song that shows us what Billie's general lifestyle and fame did to his growing up. I guess people might think it just sounds stupid, but I think it's fun and catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallysimpson Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I definitely think Tre's the strongest of the three albums -- I think it's the most cohesive and lyrically I think it's the strongest. And I think Brutal Love is going to remain as the closer for the duration because it's written to the fans, imo. It's what struck me on my first listening, and after hearing the song a few more times and reading the lyrics, I'm pretty well convinced. J'net referred to my blog on the song in her El Paso show write up, which some of you may have already seen. A song is what you hear in it and how it makes you feel -- so unless Billie Joe is standing right next to you telling you exactly what he intended, it's pretty much all up for interpretation. I'm including the link to my blog since I don't want to copy in the whole thing. I actually think think it's a brilliant song. And whenever you have repetition, that means those words usually are extra intense for the person saying them -- so the repetition of Dropout and Drop-dead hideous would indicate exactly how much of a loser the singer (we'll say persona since I'm not ready to declare this autobiographical) feels as a result of his actions. Billie Joe's actually quite a gifted poet, despite his lack of a HS diploma (Dropout perhaps?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sorry for nitpicking, but isn't the line "drop-dead hideous"? No idea, I just googled the lyrics because I didn't want to go check the booklet The piece of lyrics I don't understand in Sex, Drugs & Violence is 'Safety in numbers'.
