musso_kn Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 King for a Day is barely ska, unless you count slapping some brass onto a standard GD song ska Peacemaker is a bit different, it's got a Warning vibe to it, but it's not a huge departure from their style by any means. Brutal Love would have been innovative, if they'd at least come up with a new melody line, haha. My point is, none of their experimentation has ever been more than that. They've never done something HUGELY different and had it pay off big time. And that's why I think they should do something hugely different. Because they've hinted in places that - maybe - they do have the ability to sound good and different. I think it's worth the risk: they have absolutely fuck all to lose at this point. But we'll have to agree to disagree. I'd like to see how the next record turns out, though, and where they take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarahnade Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I love this vid, it basically wins me every "U2 are shite" argument http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8dZwXnMrRU I casually appreciate U2, not really enough to call myself a fan. Can't go wrong with Bill Bailey through. Just laughed my ass off. As far as unpopular opinions: Rotting is easily one of my favorite Green Day songs, I like Nightlife (and on that matter, I actually like every single song Green Day has released).

Sarcasm Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 lol was that sarcastic? No, I think it's utter shit, and have the qualifications of an overproduced B-side at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyHandGrenade Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I love this vid, it basically wins me every "U2 are shite" argument OK, last comment about U2. The Edge is not, and has never been about the flashy, fret insanity of Van Halen. His genius resides in exactly what Bailey made fun of - the effects. If you haven't done so, I urge you to watch It Might Get Loud (also featuring Jack White and Jimmy Paige). I don't see anyone on GDC complaining that 'ol Billie Joe sucks because of those dumb three chords, and it shouldn't be the same type of argument for U2 either.

I've seen that, and he just comes off as the most pretentious knobhead of all time. Who actually brings their stack onto a beach at 7 in the morning just to play? Twat. I'd actually rate Billie Joe much higher than The Edge in terms of guitar ability. Take away The Edge's stack and he can barely play a simple chord progression, as you can see in the credits of that documentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Puffball Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not sure if it's really unpopular, but 99 Revolutions is my fucking jam. I can imagine others think it's repetitive, but that song is my summer jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullwinkleCheech Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Brutal Love is a shameless rip-off (even if they credited Sam Cooke). It's nowhere near any of Green Day's best songs and would probably end somewhere at the bottom of my list. The immense popularity of this song doesn't make any sense to me. It's not special in any way. NOW THERE'S AN UNPOPULAR OPINION FOR YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Best Coast is my favorite opening band that I've ever seen Green Day with. (Out of Jimmy Eat World, The Bravery, AFI, Lipstick Homicide). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he sampled (i dont think that the right word but whatever) Sam Cooke, and it sound amazing. i mean the black keys took the music from stairway to heaven and just added new lyrics and it sounds so different. I'm personally love that they went back and pulled from a legend. Also compared to a lot of Green Day songs this isnt repetitive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Stairway To Heaven is itself a complete rip off of another song. What Led Zep songs have Black Keys ripped off btw? They both play distorted blues scale riffs so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them sound similar (see most garage rock) but can't think of any actual rip offs.

Little black submarines sounds a lot like stairway to heaven in my opinion. I never used the phrase "rip off" simply because i dont think its a back thing really. Pull from anywhere you can find a muse. At least green day credited sam cooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
