You disappoint me Sensei. Shoot The Moon is a fantastic EP, especially the songs that Jason sings like "Cabot Gal" and "Aching to Be." And The Ancient Art of Leaving (both parts) are amazing.

To each their own, I guess.

My apologies!

Really though, out of them I MIGHT be able to listen to Pinhead. Either way, those are seperate groups for a reason, I don't want them mixing into Green Day. Same reason I like that the Network is a seperate group, one which there was a rumoured second album for last year or so :C

Unpopular opinions...ok


The Trilogy is some of the best music they've ever done(Uno/Tre), also some bad stuff(Dos)

I don't like slappy hours all that much

Breakdown is NOT a bad album

Dookie and American Idiot are awesome

Warning isn't as bad as people thing

How could anyone hate Jeff Matika? o_O

I know he doesn't do that much, but I think it's adorable how he always dances to the music, I think he's just part of Green Day concerts now :D Also, he is absolutely needed for St. Jimmy since that song needs two guitars and Billie has to have his hands free so he can jump around for that song. Also, he is needed for Oh Love (it has one part with three guitars playing different things). I know that for songs like Oh Love, they could just play the two guitars, but part of Green Day's stadium-filling sound is the fact that everything that is played on the album is also played live AND MORE. :D They also need three guitars for BOBD I think.

For example, Blink-182 have two and sometimes even three guitars in their songs, but when they play live, they only have one guitarist and just abandon the other guitar melodies. That's one of the reasons they suck live :D

Abandoning Jason Freese would be even sillier, he is pretty essential for songs like 21 Guns and every GD song that needs a keyboard. And of course King for a Day.

I have to agree that Billie being on The Voice pissed me off. I fucking hate casting shows like that to death, they are a disgrace for music and I could rant on for days how they have nothing to do with actual music and are all about the money. God, it pisses me off how they are abusing music for their stupid ratings and it's a shame that Billie participated in that. -.-

Look through this thread. It's full of hate pretty much. How much the trilogy sucks, how AI and Dookie are overrated.

This was more of a satirical post, cos it seems like people use this thread to hate on "popular" green day

Billie Joe swears far too much (in the trilogy at least). It loses its effect if it's used every second line.

This is one of the reasons, along with the incessant sexual undertones and party atmosphere, that I think the trilogy overall is pretty immature. I don't mean to sound like a complete prude, but listening to the trilogy often makes me feel a little uncomfortable because it sometimes ventures into try-hard territory.

I never really cared for Longview or Brain Stew. The trilogy would have been successful with proper promotion. Stray Heart would have been a big hit if it had gotten radio play.

Agree about Brain Stew and Stray Heart. I really think it could have been a huge hit; I could see the video getting a lot of airplay on VH1 and whatnot. Shame.

I hope they'll go back to an indie label after their current contract with Warner terminates. I love the trilogy but I find sometimes the band is inhibited. Maybe a come back to an indie label after their 50's wil give them a total liberty.

Okay unpopular opinions lets see

I like 21st Century Breakdown

I love Know your Enemy.. I dont get the hate

I wouldnt mind seeing them collaborate with a few other high profile artists..it wouldnt do them any harm

Night Life sucks Donkey Balls

The trilogy is extremely meh

Some of the things the guys have said have honestly made me cringe.... That Steve Jobs rant from a few years ago... uggh

Brain Stew is boring.

If they had put together the best 18 songs from the trilogy and released it as one album, it could have been their best ever.

Mike Dirnt is the sexiest guy ever. Also I think he should sing more, because his voice is great.
And I like Jason White so much.

Okay, here we go:

- 21CB is one of their best albums

- insomniac is overrated

- The trilogy lyrics are generally awful. They're immature and incoherent (I believe someone on the forum described them as word-salad, well done)

- Green Day are better when they don't do the snot-nosed punk, really-really fast songs. (Their best music is on AI and 21CB)

- Jason will never be accepted as an equal member in my book. I'm fine with him being the fourth, something in-between sort-of guy, but the three of them have been together for so long. It doesn't matter what they say or do, Green Day will always be regarded as a three-piece.
- Okay, this is hardly an unpopular opinion, but Nigthlife is a piece of shit.

Ok lets go:

-Keplunk is Green Day´s best album.

-Android is their best song.

-Nightlife is not bad at all.

-Brain Stew/Jaded would have been so much better as one song.

I don't agree with a shitload of stuff in this thread, but it doesn't make me hate anybody.

I love Last Ride in and i think the Video for it is also amazing! (Possibly one of my top 5 Green Day music videos? I've never thought about it that much though).

Okay here's one:

The January-February US tour dates that Green Day cancelled were the venues they had trouble selling out. Still don't get what they cancelled Las Vegas though, I live in Wisconsin but I always assumed Las Vegas was a pretty big city.

Yeah, so was Coming Clean. So what?
