Guest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We get it. You like Biffy. Bands like Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, The 1975, and Biffy Clyro And that was relevant in anyway how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Teller Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 And that was relevant in anyway how? Because is not the first time you mention Biffy in a Green Day thread and I said that I/we get it that you like Biffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Teller Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Okay. Do you have anything to add to my point? I made a statement. Otherwise I agree with you, some bands like Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro and Muse are very popular in Europe. Sorry if I seemed a bit rude. It was in context though? Yes, I just said that it's obvious that he likes Biffy. In fact I agree with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I seemed a bit rude. It was a bit rude, mainly because it added nothing to the conversation and accused me of a bias toward a certain band when they were entirely relevant to the point I was making. Apology accepted.

MrsBillieJoe95 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 That is a uniquely American phenomenon though. On this side of the Atlantic bands are definitely back in vogue. 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. Rock isn't dead, American music taste is I actually have to agree with that. I mean, Imagine Dragons is pretty big over here with the rock basis, but otherwise rock is basically dead over here sadly. A lot of American rock bands are just completely shit anyway. They can't make up their minds what genera they are! That's one reason I don't really like the newer bands though. I do think that's another reason the trilogy didn't make it big. Americans just aren't that into rock anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfempty Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like the trilogy, ins you it took a while for it yo grow on me. I really only like to hear it live though, I think all the songs sound way better live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykee Mexx Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 A miracle is happening: I liked Dos so far. But now I begin to like Tre as well. Hey, the trilogy is growing on me! Don´t know about Uno though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t know about Uno though... I never could get into ¡Uno! very much. Nuclear Family and Stay the Night are good, but halfway through Carpe Diem I lose pretty much all interest and skip to Loss of Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingdonutz Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 tre is the only album from the trilogy i wouldn't put as my least favourite green day albums. I think I'd put tre somewhere in the middle. Like maybe above like idk. Insomiac? I dont really know. That was a pretty good album. Warning maybe too. Uno and Dos are down there with Kerplunk for me.

HolyHandGrenade Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 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. I think the real bullet to the trilogy's head was the rehab and instant abortion of support from Warner. I highly doubt that their singles would have changed significantly, and consequently, the support for them as well. If they were strong enough to get the nod with the three album set-up, they surely would have made the cut for the consolidated single album. Even more so than the trilogy aspect, I'm definitely not happy with Oh Love as the lead single. It's a great song to close out Uno, but a terrible one to represent anything even close to what the trilogy was. Nuclear Family , Stray Heart, X-Kid, or 99 Revs would have done much better with ample promotion on a variety of stations. Even worse, Oh Love got a spot on Rocksmith, when 90% of the song is the same riff over and over and over... (granted, there was a decent solo) All said, I love the trilogy itself, just not what it became. And that was relevant in anyway how? Exactly. For example: I like Green Day. Now, if conversation were to come up about the best punk bands of the 90's, I'm sure not going to refrain from mentioning GD just because I like them. They obviously belong in the discussion - just not in one about baking the perfect cheesecake or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking_Alone Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What?? What r u talking about? Green Day has been groving up in music, lyrics (actually it always was incredibly). But NOT in the era of UNO, DOS, TRE GD at the top of thier happiness and professionalism.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieces of Truth Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If you told me the name of a song off the Trilogy I wouldn't know what 80% of them sounded like off the top of my head. That's how often I listened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before the whole rehab thing, they screwed themselves over by releasing Oh Love as the lead. Though I personally like the song, it just wasn't the greatest choice in leads. I don't think any of the songs from Uno truly represent the trilogy since they're so repetitive and mind numbing after a couple of loops through. It's just not a publicly great album. Things completely went south with the whole iHeart concert. They say any publicity is good publicity, but in this case, that's not so true. Everyone freaked out over it and then Reprise basically refused to promote them- or the trilogy- for a while. The whole thing overshadowed the trilogy release and completely screwed them over majorly. Obviously, there are other factors in there that contributed to the albums' failure to launch, but I think those are two of the largest things that screwed them over.

Green Day have always released terrible lead singles, it's basically their trademark. The two things that killed it were the complete lack of promotion and the fact that they just plain weren't very good albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reprise didnt refuse to promote they like most labels arent going to spend MILLIONS of dollars on a band that cant go on promo shows and go on radio and tv shows escp with the way the music industry is nowadays On a fan standpoint that sucks from a business standpoint its very reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJay Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think the Trilogy should just been a duology and cut out the silly songs (mostly from DOS) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two things that killed it were the complete lack of promotion and the fact that they just plain weren't very good albums. I think it had a pretty good impact on it though. Obviously, it wasn't going to completely kill the records' chances, but I guarantee it killed a lot of people's hopes for the trilogy. I don't think they were terrible, but obviously they had a lot of room for improvement. The plus side though is that they experimented with sounds and found out which kinda stuff works and doesn't, so at least they can learn and improve for the future! I really haven't been with them long enough to know whether they've always chose bad songs as leads (I got into them after 21st CB), but I know KYE was a pretty bad choice in lead. I dare say Oh Love was worse sound-wise, though both were horribly repetitive, but the sound of Oh Love just completely threw everyone off. Reprise didnt refuse to promote they like most labels arent going to spend MILLIONS of dollars on a band that cant go on promo shows and go on radio and tv shows escp with the way the music industry is nowadays On a fan standpoint that sucks from a business standpoint its very reasonable I exaggerated a bit with the promotion thing Obviously they're not going to flat out refuse to promote a band as huge as they are, but they could have done a hell of a lot more promotion. I don't recall ever seeing anything for the Trilogy besides on Youtube, so to me they didn't promote it very well- at least not where I live (which I'm not surprised because we're in a country music kinda state unfortunately).
