They were just great! I listened to them for the first time and what amazed me was that guy was playing double-bass drums which is commonly used in Metal. GD should also move in this direction.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but that guy???  That guy would be Keith Moon, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time.

I just got both Broadway Idiot and HLAHG. Took me long enough so now there's a binge ahead of me.

Unpopular opinion:

HLAHG should've been buried

Billie really needs to up his social media game.

I agree he might interact with people more, however I don't think he is bad at using social media, his tweets were very entertaining - now he uses it to communicate some more serious stuff and I'm interested in it too. He can't seem to bother with using instagram very often when the band isn't active but I think the reason for this is that he unlike mike doesn't want to reveal much about his personal life on there.

The thing is, I don't think he is very good at addressing serious stuff. He is either posting something so insipid and obvious, or "Trump bad, Sanders good" stuff. But again, that's just me.

You absolutely should see both.  But, one is very good, one not so good.  As Tim said.....

I have to disagree with you on Billie not posting because he doesn't want to reveal much about his personal life.  I personally think he reveals too much.  Mike posts much more, but he will post pictures of sunsets and random photos of him in a car, stuff like that.  With Billie, we all know what the inside of his house looks like because he has posted so many photos.  Mike usually doesn't post photos of his home, Brit will occasionally.  And I don't think I've ever seen Tre post a photo of the inside of his home.  There was one time when Billie posted a photo of him working on the old car (think it was a T-Bird) and you could see part of his yard, his neighbors yard, etc.

I have to agree with you on this. What I find interesting is learning about his views. I don't expect him to go in depth - there are other people who are good at it.

I see what you mean but I'm not sure about it. Mike and Brit used to post losts of pictures of their children. To me it always seemed like revealing more than Billie but you are right that we even saw his bedroom. That definitely is revealing a lot.

Billie doesn't seem to be out and about much right now...hopefully because he's locked himself up in the recording studio.  I agree he could post more instagram, preferably another selfie-at-work (recording studio)..the microphone one was so much fun.

But so does Billie.  He posts tons of photos of his children.  Also, remember when he gave the drum set away?  He had the guy meet him on the corner where his apartment is.  He has also posted pictures of the inside of his NY apartment and pictures of him standing on the steps.  I don't think Mike, Tre or even Brit has gotten that personal.

I never even noticed the fact that it was his house or NYC place. I guess he just doesn't think it's a big deal.

He clearly doesn't care.  I think he likes connecting with the fans via social media.  It is probably easier for him than face to face.  I was just disagreeing with Jane that I don't think he tries to hide his personal life that much.  I'm sure there is alot he does hide, but there is alot he shares as well.

Watching Disease is Punishment for the first time in forever - Roshambo could easily be a trilogy song minus the synth. 


Also I'm tardy to the party but I saw HLAHG on sale in Best Buy and I was so proud. I was actually kind of disappointed in how it turned out, but I'm sure that was due to major editing. I had higher expectations based on how "Time to Wake Up" was.

I've introduced my parents to Stiff Little Fingers and it may have ruined Green Day for them, they hear Billie in every SLF song now :P

Insomniac might be working its way towards becoming my favourite Green Day album. Me being obsessed with old punk makes that not too surprising, but...damn is it fucking genius. As far as punk albums go I'd easily put it alongside Give 'Em Enough Rope.

I have been on the "Iv'e listened to green day a lot more than normal lately" train since I got Ni-Fucked

I swear ever since that show has been cancled I have been compulsively checking their website and any other green day related shit on a daily basis. It's only getting worse too. It has now become hourly.

 

Im hoping this trip out to NYC will give me some release. I can't imagine how it's going to feel when they finally start touring

his this may be (probably is) the wrong place for this comment, but i've been on a huge Pinhead Gunpowder kick lately. I was listening to their 7"s tonight and I just ended with the one they released back in 08. Anniversary Song is credited to having lyrics written by W. Fink, which is a pseudonym used by Billie, right? the lyrics and melody are very billie

 

Thanks for sharing this, I love it! It sounds very "Billie"; I would be very happy if the new GD album had something like this on it.

I think I"m the only one that doesn't want them to go back to just 3 chord power chord songs.  I know most of what they do will always be power chord based, but they were adding so much more to it.  To me, going back to that just seems like going backwards.

You're not alone. They made five albums worth of 3 power chord songs and that is quite enough, at least for me.
