Sometimes I forget it exists, but when I remember, it always makes me very happy. I enjoy it, and something made them want to release that — and that something, I assume, was that they were dissatisfied with the trilogy's sound, or the public's reception of it. Or at least that's what I thought. Then they go and release that fucking Christmas song and my whole process of reasoning is completely destroyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungryHungryModels Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I take breaks from Green Day for just a bit and come back to them and it's amazing that I still love them so much. I normally lose interests in artists quickly, or just like a few songs here and there, but Green Day is so different for me. There's a Green Day song for almost every mood and emotion, so that's awesome too in keeping me interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I rarely listen to Trilogy versions of tracks on Demolicious now, it's all so much better and really I don't see how the band didn't realise that when listening to it, so I really don't know what they were thinking with the production on the Christmas song either. If they were just quickly doing something in a weekend they could've saved even more time and not bothered with proper production at all and just released it as a demo.

Chin for a Day Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm on Maine and we went to a local lobster restaurant. The restaurant only played bob Marley and green day. It was a very cool dinner 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I heard that Billie and Aaron Cometbus had a falling out after the zine special about Green Day came out and posted several insulting tweets that were later taken down. He allegedly claimed that Aaron wrote untrue and personal information. Does anybody know if it's true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People (including me ) have speculated that he might not have liked everything in the zine, especially after he apparently acted annoyed when asked to sign it (but was happy to sign other merch) by a fan outside the AI musical, but he's never actually commented on it so no one really knows his opinion. The deleted tweets being referred to were these ones from back when he used to tweet Green Day song info (found them reposted like this on a random site when googling but they're legit, I remember them): 9. Platypus was written for tim yohanon. And I prey to god I misspelled his name. Rest in shit you fucking cunt. 8. We were called "sellouts" for putting out a cd. Can you believe that? What is now obsolete! 7. Fuck off if you think we "merged" them together. Back then you could only get 1 cd. Look at minor threat. You're a fucking asshole 6. I basically met my wife on the slappy tour.. And yes we were cometbus first distributor. Your welcome Aaron 5. It just drives me nuts when people put it all together. This is 3 different eras. Period! That's what all these tweets come to. 4. First 7' was "1000 hours" Lp was "39/ smooth" second 7' was "slappy".. Got it?! 3. John went with it. I hate when people say"1039". Its 39/smooth. That's our first lp! Period!! 2. Smooth was a stoner thing between me and mike. We couldn't decide to call it 39 or smooth. So we went with both! 1. 39/smooth was named after my brother. He turned 39 the day we recorded that LP. Dec 29 1989. I think some people took that he was annoyed with Aaron from that, but I think he just happened to mention something relating to him during his rant about 39/Smooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I heard from someone whose a friend of Aaron's that Billie was upset for a lil bit but they had talked it over a few months later which seems normal no friendships goes without differences sometimes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Saiyaman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I was listening to "Waiting" today and I hadn't listened to the song in such a long time. It felt great listening to it for some reason. So great that I had this look on my face: Then my dad walked by and said "What the hell are you doing?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungryHungryModels Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm going to listen to "D.U.I." on my 21st birthday while I'm chugging chocolate milk. Not the low fat or fat free kind of chocolate milk either... The use whole white milk and mix with as much Hershey's syrup as you desire kind of chocolate milk. Then I'll go out driving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Today morning I heard State of Shock on radio which really surprised me and then they played Working Class Hero just minutes later. Needless to say this made my morning way more bearable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuLife37 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ok, I've been thinking about this for a while and I need to get it out. i have been contemplating writing a story/Fanfic about the American Idiot album. So this story would obviously be based on St. Jimmy/Jesus of Suburbia and his struggles with fitting in and so on. Seeing each track on the album as a chapter the lineup would look something like this 1. American Idiot 2. Jesus of Suburbia Part 1- Jesus of Suburbia Part 2- City of the Damned Part 3- I Don't Care Part 4- Dearly Beloved Part 5- Tales from another Broken Home 3. Holiday 4. Boulevard of Broken Dreams 5. Are we the Waiting 6. St. Jimmy 7. Give me Novacaine 8. She's a Rebel 9. Extraordinary Girl 10. Letterbomb 11. Wake me up when September ends 12. Homecoming Part 1- Death of St. Jimmy Part 2- East 12th Street Part 3- Nobody likes you! Part 4- a Rock and Roll Girlfriend Part 5- We are coming home again. 13. Whatsername Each chapter is based of the song so I will be listening to a lot of music tell me what you think guys/gals and will continue and elaborate more into how I will convey the message of each song into a chapter. Btw in on Australian Eastern Standard time so I will not reply immediately sometimes... If you want you can figure your time zones out with mine go right ahead and have fun. another quick thing if u want to have a look at my writing style search up 'Aydan Leroux Wattpad' on Google. ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She_92 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Otaku, I think it's a good idea! I often thought about writing something like that, but for a reason or another I never did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuLife37 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 She, thanks. I really don't know if I should do it though because I'm writing 2 books at once and also have another and the Green Day Story in my head. But anyway so like the lyrics in the album the story would go from St Jimmy/Jesus of Suburbia having parties, doing drugs, drinking alcohol and having sex to leaving his home town, then rethinking his life and looking back (Boulevard of broken Dreams) to even getting so low that Jesus of Suburbia asks Jimmy to kill him off (Give me Novacaine) but then his works starts to get brighter when he meets Whatsername and completely falls in love with her giving him a reason to live. That's a basic plot outline. So yeah. Tell me if I should change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's been months since I actually sat down and listened to Green Day, I just went through Insomniac and now I'm on Kerplunk, halfway through Christy Road...fuck, it's been too long. They're just so fucking great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so angst, but I didn't expected otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think writing that story would be a good idea. I think about things like, what happened after he went back? What ever became of Jimmy/Johnny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
