Guest Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Government sucks I haven't listened to Uno since about May so forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't the only political song from the Trilogy 99 Revs and isn't that on Tré, not Uno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Good Riddance existed long, long before Dookie. Billie originally wrote it way back in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritz Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I got bored of Dos sooner than I thought. Some songs are okay but rest are just plain boring. Uno has a great start and momentum but it fades till it reaches the fourth song. But Tre is what I love. Apart from some songs like LBNT, Forgotten, rest are okay and worth listening to. I am absolutely in love with Missing You, Brutal Love and Walk Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Good Riddance existed long, long before Dookie. Billie originally wrote it way back in 1990. I thought that but wasn't 100% positive it was before Dookie time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overjoyyed Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's just not what Green Day is known for anymore- they are known for rock operas and that's what people expect from them- Super dramatic, story telling songs- some people don't like change.

Idk, I took Nuclear Family as a slightly political song. Government probably wasn't the best word choice, but that was the first word that popped in my head Society probably would have been a bit better of a word opposed to just government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoopy Doo Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Dos more like I'm 40 years old and horny I would nominate this for a quote in the GDC Quotes thread if it weren't for the Ceadogism. :/ I've really gotten into Stay the Night within the past couple days. Too bad the studio version doesn't do the song much justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingdonutz Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Because people miss this Green Day. The one that was angry as fuck. I can't connect with a 40 year old man telling me how he wants me to stay the night cause we're runnin' out of time. When he's been married for 25 years. It's hard to take seriously. Songs like X-Kid or 99 Revolutions IMO belong in a top 50 Green Day songs list, but when Green Day has been based around 4 chords and fuck everything between 1990 and 2000, and then based around 4 chords and piano and arpeggios and fuck everything but from a smarter more sensible point of view from 2000 to 2010, and now, they're a lot of chords and stuff and omg i miss you bby plz don't leave me as if somehow 39 smooth Billie is back, and it just doesn't feel right. But some of it is great. If they had just released one album called 99 revolutions, a short, 12 song album with all the best songs, likely they would have taken the mainstream by storm again, taken over the world and been on every radio station, topped the charts and did even better than 21st Century Breakdown did, because that's just what Green Day does. The songs are very built around a radio-esque sound and that's why I think 1 album would have been better than 3 at least from a commercial standpoint. Obviously as a diehard Green Day fan I prefer the 3 just because its more Green Day, but 1 album would have led them to an even bigger audience than before.

Clayish Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Album wasn't executed right. boring, typical songs. Has some gems, but the potential was huge and they didn't execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I feel that Green Day tried to hard to create three albums. Imagine if they took the 3-4 best songs of each album and just made one. It would have been their best one by far. Instead we are left with 3, good but not great albums. But that would have been so boring...and everyone's 3-4 favorite songs on each album is different, and some people love all of it, so it's really much better for everyone this way.

MrsBillieJoe95 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 People wouldn't have been happy with the trilogy anyway, regardless of whether it was the best of the 3, one of the albums, or all three of them. There would have been a trillion and one people who bitched about it because it's too pop, it's not old GD, it's not like AI, and the list goes on and on of things people would have found to complain about. I actually think it's great that they chose to do the three albums, but that's not what the thread's about. I really do think a lot of people bitch about Uno (mostly those who are the average fan) mainly because it's not like Dookie or American Idiot and, as was stated earlier by many people, it's just really repetitive. With Dos, it has more of a Foxboro/Warning sound to it (IMO at least on Warning. It sounds kinda like a more classic RNR (is that the right way to describe it?) version of Warning mixed with FBHT). With Tre, it has more of a poppy-AI sound to it (again, IMO) and is more appealing to those who took the chance in listening to it (if they went by Uno or Dos, which most tend to think aren't as great).

I actually think it's great that they chose to do the three albums, but that's not what the thread's about. I think this thought sums up music in general. No matter how amazing or how awful anything new any band does someone is going to find something to complain about because it doesn't sound like their old stuff or it sounds too much like their old stuff. Even if that is the case no matter how much we may want another AI or Dookie or whatever we're not going to get it because they're not the same people as they were in 1994 or 2004. And that's with any band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkfreak1414 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I don't think fans should be so upset about it really. Billie had said in quatro that the other albums were so dark and serious that they wanted something more light and fun and basic. And that's exactly what the trilogy is. When it comes to the songs with bad quality lyrics I think of them as songs from 39 smooth...the very simplistic, cheesy lyrics. Then when I hear the quality in the better songs (xkid and etc) I think of American idiot and 21CBD. It's like we got a mix of all there albums but within these 3 albums except with a cleaner guitar tone. And also everyone is complaining about the guitar tone but does no one relized every album the make there guitar tone changes? (Besides between dookie and insomiac). Idk I also think yes it would of been better if it was all made into one album but that wasn't the point it was to go and do something different. Not to sound contradicting but if anything I think green day should of waited to record these albums until about now so that way a least almost 3 and a half years passed.

MrsBillieJoe95 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Cmon, you really believe that would have happened? Green Day taking over the world again? I honestly think that though they're never going to be on top of the world like they were with AI or Dookie, they'd probably had climbed a lot higher than they are now if they had executed the trilogy a bit better. There were so many things that went wrong with the trilogy that they weren't going to get back on top. Obviously they're never going to rule the world again (at least not for a while. They'll make a comeback sooner or later!), but I blame that mostly on the fact that they don't sound like Nicki, Gaga, or Eminem (thank God for that! I'm an Em. fan, but GD just couldn't pull it). When you think of artists in today's pop culture, you don't think of bands like Green Day, Offspring, Nirvana, and bands of that nature- you think of artists like Wayne, Drake, and that shit. Rock is just depleting in popularity really quick, and sadly it's taking down many great artists down with it. I can almost guarantee that if they had done something that has a more Maroon 5 sound to it, they'd probably be higher on the charts (but would leave so many fans butthurt because it's a new sound, but that happened anyway). Idk if they would be able to pull off the sound, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands like Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, The 1975, and Biffy Clyro are topping the European charts with ease, in Biffy's case with a much more alternative and heavier sound than GD, and headlining festivals all across Europe.
