Beerjeezus Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I don't read instagram comments. And they most likely don't either (and so their kids) I agree the daddy thing is creepy when it's meant sexually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki. Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I rewatched the HoF induction night a few days ago and I was thinking the same thing, it's probably one of my favourite videos to watch ever Especially watching them perform makes me feel all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit that was ages ago...could very well be a possibility in that case. Excited for the new album.

It is a beautiful gift to his wife and I think it should have stayed between the two of them. And then he reused the music and made it WMUWSE which is another song I don't like I think Last Night on Earth is far superior All the slow songs like that are just incredibly "meh". Last Night On Earth is one of the worst songs they've done though, without a doubt. WMUWSE would be a good song if it wasn't incredibly overplayed. Wonder how many people actually know what it's about (obviously Green Day fans do, but I meant people who listen to them from a casual point of view), it just means so much to Billie, must be weird for a song like that to be incredibly popular from his point of view. In terms of songs in the same vein as that, could you count Misery as one? That's the most under-rated "slow-ish" song they've done. We'll never hear it live, crimnal haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never hear it live, crimnal haha I have to disagree on Last Night on Earth, I think it is one of the most beautiful ballads they have ever done. Musically, I find it beautifully serene and calming. I find the lyrics heartfelt and mature. Where WIT's lyrics sound like they were by a 5th grader and musically pretty much the same. WMUWSE is pretty much the exact same song musically. I agree that most casual fans would not understand what the song is about if they didn't know the back story, which is one of the reasons I don't think the song works. I don't consider Misery a ballad. Usually ballads are of a romantic nature. It is a slower song. FYI, I love Misery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maid Meringue Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm usually pretty serious when it comes to the whole iHeart incident, but my boyfriend seems to think that it was a pre-planned thing gone wrong. And normally I get pretty huffy when he says stuff like that, but then i got to thinking... To advertise iHeart Music Festival 2016, the radio STILL uses Green Day's promo recordings from 2012 ("Hey this is Tre Cool of Green Day" etc) instead of treating the incident as something that is never to be spoken of again. Which means in a 4 year span, regardless of all the other artists who have played for them since, they still use Green Day to promote their festival. Now they're working together with Q&A sessions and album/single promotions?? Maybe BJ was needing to check into rehab no matter what, and knew that they weren't going to be able to do as much with the album while he was away, so they tried to pull off a huge publicity thing right beforehand and tie it in? I'm all for a good conspiracy theory. Ultimately, though, I think iHeart chose to bury the hatchet because the band is just too lucrative to write off. Green Day is the second biggest band in the world (sorry don't be butthurt, Metallica still holds the title) and it's impossible to not kiss their ass when a comeback album is announced.

Maid Meringue Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just now, WhiteTim said: how are they the second biggest band in the world? Because Metallica is the biggest band in the world. I just said that They're more accessible, they paved the way for multiple genres of music and continue to do so, and by sheer record sales alone they blow Green Day out of the water. Green Day is the Metallica of alternative music. But to say that Metallica is the Green Day of thrash/metal is an insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I don't buy that theory. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. iHeart surely wasn't angry at them for making their festival very topical. It made much better promo for the festival than for the band. iHeart is happy to play a band that made their event go viral. The "scandal" just didn't work well for the band. It wasn't a badass thing that would draw attention to the albums, it was a huge-ass flop. That's why I don't doubt it was unintentional. This just isn't what you do if you want to minimize the consequences of going to rehab instead of doing proper promo. Jesus Christ, they wiped off any publicity the albums could have gotten with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as far as influence and pure talent, Queen would be the cream of the crop. However Metallica continues to be relevant even when they're inactive which i think allows them to hold the title. It's impossible to avoid them, because they've established themselves as a brand as well as musicians. You can't walk into any mall, grocery, venue, bar, etc without seeing at least 3 people wearing their shirt that they bought at Sears. 42 minutes ago, Jane Lannister said: I don't buy that theory.

Westside Highway Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just watched heart like a handgrenade. My three major takeaways are: 1. Holy shit 12 string banjos exist I'm in love 2. I knew when it's time was old but I had no idea Billie presented it to Rob for possible inclusion on American idioti 3. Tre is way more talented than I remembered. He can play guitar and piano fairly well. I've always loved tres country-Ish joke songs and if he released a solo album it'd like it way more than foreverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
