Eva Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 John's drumming on everything is better than Tré's. I believe that John's drumming would have been really good for Green Day until Nimrod hit. John focused on his chops and building speed up which is why he did so well with early Green Day music since the band was still heavily influenced by punk. I don't think John's chop-intensive style would have worked well after Nimrod though because that's when the band really started to slow down the songs. Not all of them, of course, but it is when Green Day morphed into a pop-rock band that fast drum set chops wouldn't have meshed well with. I've always wished that 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours had had a better sound quality. I understand that it was in the early days of Lookout but I think a good audio recording of John's work on older Sweet Children/Green Day songs would be really awesome to hear.

StuckWithInsomnia Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The last two minutes of Homecoming ruin the song. Warning is an incredible album, only bad bit on that album is the verses in Church On Sunday. Geek Stink Breath was a terrible choice for first single. The trilogy only has about 3 good songs on each album. East Jesus Nowhere is one of Green Day's best songs, this song needed to have a proper third chorus. Carpe Diem, Let Yourself Go, Makeout Party are shit. Going To Pasalacqua and a few other songs from Kerplunk and 39 Smooth should be re-recorded, with a Nimrod-American Idiot sound, not a trilogy one. The trilogy would have been better if it had better vocals, and a bit of distortion in the guitar. Green Day's punk music has always been pop-punk. There are like no punk songs on Kerplunk or 39 Smooth and I consider Green Day to be just a rock band Do Da Da should have been on Insomniac or Nimrod Dos is the best album from the trilogy. 2,000 Light Years Away is overrated Had Ciggarettes and Valentines been in the trilogy, it would have been one of my favorite trilogy songs, maybe even my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ive seen people say Tre is so much of a better drummer than John was and he probally is but listening to the 1039 songs (yes tman i know its 39 smooth and 2 eps but for sakes of this post it's 1039) when performed with Tre there's no difference to the songs he doesnt add nor take away any where as when Dave Ghrohl replaced Chad Channing you noticed a BIG difference I prefer Tre in Green Day over John tho so I'm happy John left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaDagger Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I actually think that Mike's singing on "Sex, Drugs and Violence" really sucks. There is nothing to it, no purpose whatsoever. Just always gets me shaking my head, like what the fuck is this. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac1984 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't know why so many people dislike Ashley from ¡DOS! Many people wanted songs like Insomniac/Nimrod era, and Ashley sounds so Insomniac but more rock n' roll in a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forgotten Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 to add to my other post I like Nightlife and Kill the DJ DOS is my third favorite Green Day album of all time Last of the American girls is a great music video I think people just bandwagoned with the whole "Know your Enemy Sucks" , when it's actually a good song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doris The Spider Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Rest is a terrible song. And I'm not much of a fan of "Good Riddance", "21 Guns", or "When I Came Around" Kerplunk is my least favorite album. I'm very disappointed in the trilogy. My two most favorite Green Day songs were written by Mike: HaHa You're Dead and JAR. I wish he would write more songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae'n'shine Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I really don't care for Uno, I think most of the songs are just ok. Misery is a great Green Day song and I wish they would pull that one out at least once. The worst songs: Take Back and Nightlife. I still love them more than anything, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doris The Spider Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Dude, they're all 40+ now, between the break of these three albums and a new album is gonna be at least 5 years (my prediction anyways). They'll all be nearing 50, they won't be able to take the strain of touring anymore too. I just can't imagine them be nearing 50 and creating the kind of music they produce now, that's all. The Offspring is almost 50 and they still make albums and tour. I also don't like "Wake Me Up When September Ends" or "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Uno! is my favorite from the trilogy. And Tre my least favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LudeBoy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ohh here we go. 1) Take Back is one of the best songs on Nimrod. Love that simple, powerful riff & the raw guitar tone. I don't know why Platypus is seen as the "angry" Green Day song, I mean, the music actually sounds upbeat in places. It's like, a fun song to take the piss out of all the really outrageous thoughts you concoct when you're annoyed, while Take Back is the real shit. It IS anger, not poking fun at it. holy crap. someone else that loves take back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofriendlyunitshifter Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 American Idiot is the greatest track the band has ever recorded. Little Boy named Train is one of the best trilogy songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I always seem to love which people in general dont appreciate. KYE, I love the song. I love playing it too. Nightlife, KTDJ are some of my favorites from the Trilogy. Nimrod and Insomniac is the best! Dookie is great but I find myself listening to Nimrod and Insomniac more than Dookie or AI. Take back is so freaking good, I love to listen to it when I am full of rage and stuff. I have worn out BOBD and 21 Guns. I rarely listen to them and skip them while jamming. Those were my first songs on bass, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'll take BIAB over AAF (I personally like the interviews) I love both Extraordinary Girl and She's a Rebel And Last of the American Girls is another least fave song of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieces of Truth Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I love that song so much! It just made it even better when I found out what it was about. Also, underrated Green Day songs: The Grouch All The Time Castaway Armatage Shanks Overrated Green Day songs: 21 Guns Know Your Enemy Oh Love Christie Road How is KYE overrated? The majority of the fan base seems to hate it Edit: for some reason the quote fucked up. I didn't edit Christie road to be huge and in the quote code it still says size 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
