Alan86 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The American idiot solo isn't bad but Jesus of Suburbia and letterbomb don't deserve to have gotten this far. They are great songs but not really known for the solos. I hope Hitchin a Ride or Dry Ice wins but Oh Love or DRB would be acceptable too Out of all the songs there I can honestly say Hitchin A Ride is the only one where every time I listen to that song its the solo that I most look forward too. It is the climax of that song and its fucking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBlue_ Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Fuck Time vs. Letterbomb That is hard. I voted for Letterbomb. but i hope Dry Ice will be the winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 DRB vs GMN...I think it's obvious Dirty Rotten is gonna win, even though, now that I listen to it in detail, Novacaine has one of the classiest and best solos Billie has ever written. I know! I had to vote for DRB but I was struck by how beautiful the Novocaine one was! I don't understand how half of the songs could make it this far. I mean... American Idiot, 21 Guns, Holiday... Seriously? Well anyway, the voting wasn't that hard this time fortunately I've voted for all these hits. There's a reason these are hits. Yeah, maybe technically not the most impressive "solos" or whatever but I think Holiday is one of the best things ever written and it's catchy as fuck and sounds like porn in my ears.

Spoopy Doo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Okay, 21 Guns has got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I can't understand how Letterbomb made it this far. Seriously? Anyway, hope Only of You beats JoS. yup, great song as a whole. probably in the top ten best written green day songs. but not the best solo.

Hermione Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If bloody JOS wins I'll be annoyed, clearly only there due to people voting for the song as a whole instead of just the solo. Anyway the last round was a nightmare . Glad both the song I voted for and the one I almost voted for are still here...I fear they're going to be defeated by American Idiot songs that are only here because they're on that album though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naliuj Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 How did Jesus of Suburbia and American Idiot make it this far? Probably being voted on the entire song not just the solo. Some people just don't do things correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPhil Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'll always go with Hitchin' A Ride. It's simple and badass, what do you want more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriarty Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 To be honest, Dos could have just been Fuck Time's solo over and over again and I would still pick it as my favourite trilogy album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic_Rattlehead Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hitchin' a Ride was easy, it's so intense, and the build-up makes it even better One For the Razorbacks was also an easy choice Fuck Time, although Letterbomb is still pretty good, but technically not as impressive Judge's Daughter, far and away the best Green Day solo Makeout Party, the energy in this track is amazing, and it kind of climaxes with Billie's epic scream in the middle of the solo Only of You, this was easy, JoS's solo is too short Dirty Rotten Bastards, no competition, this is their most technically impressive solo Dry Ice, of course, although American Idiot, while easy, is very well-constructed and fun to play Just mah 2 cents also I hope Judge's Daughter (or if not, DRB) wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't do things correctly... I listened to both solos and I found the JOS one more compelling and moving. I've always loved that. I know it's not technically as "interesting" or perhaps "impressive" as its competitor but it made my ears happier and that's how I'm basing my decisions.

DoodleBob Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Letterbomb vs Fuck Time. That's a hard one! The Fuck Time solo is obviously more complex and cool sounding, but I always thought the Letterbomb solo was really moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellJohnson225 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 21 Guns Cause it's more emotionally satisfying, not always about how good you can shred! One For The Razorbacks: One of my favourite Green Day solo's, I love just jamming on guitar to that tune! Letterbomb: Cause it's way too underrated and Fuck Time is meh. Judge's Daughter: Oh Love is too mainstream and unsatisfying to me. Let Yourself Go: It and Makeout Party are basically the same solo so what's the difference? Jesus Of Suburbia: Again, much more emotionally satisfying. Give Me Novacaine: Refer to 21 Guns and JOS Dry Ice: My favourite Green Day solo, almost anthemic really.

tdlyon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Isn't the Letterbomb solo like 2 seconds long? Is it even considered a solo? ...Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sara_gd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Dirty Rotten Bastards vs Give me Novacaine was the hardest one, but I went with DRB. I didn't know what to vote in Only of you vs. JOS because I'm not really a fan of neither And the rest was easy for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackEyedJackie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Letterbomb vs Fuck Time? That's not fair! I love both! but I think the solo of Fuck Time is more... interesting to listen to but it's really hard to choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
