St. Jonny Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 There's a million songs that sound alike. There are only so many chords on the damn guitar, people are bound to write things that are strikingly similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both just so musically creative and unique. I don't see many people talking about them but they are just so good. Before the Lobotomy is one of my favourite songs in the entire world. Masterpiece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouncingoffthewallbja Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 In my drama class the other day, the teacher named one of her imaginary characters 'Billie Joe'.

End Of The World Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I counted the beats of the starting drum roll in Nice Guys Finish Last. They're 13. What a meaningful number to open a song like that! Also, my favorite album opener, Somewhere Now close second. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This is kind of random in general but I'll just stick it in here. I read a review of a Green Day show yesterday - the writer was praising them most of the time, however he mentioned something along the lines of "the years of booze and drugs do show on Billie's face". He didn't mean that as an insult, he considered it a proof that the band "keeps the rock'n'roll spirit alive". I'm not bringing this up to start any discourse on Billie (please). I found it very cringeworthy and in fact pretty disrespectful as well - because, you know, he might not be keeping anything alive had he not quit. It illustrates very well how addiction is normalized in the media. I just want to say that it's pretty fucked up that there seems to be more of a stigma attached to being in recovery/going to rehab than to being an addict but fitting into the cool party animal stereotype (bc honestly, how the fuck does that get acknowledged as a positive quality instead of overcoming the issues ). Weird! (That's my new theme word ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to read it 3 times to make sure he actually meant it as some kind of a twisted compliment. First I felt offended for Billie, I don't think anything shows on his face - I know the author wanted to emphasize how charismatic he is, but how is that a good thing to say?! I also think it's disrespectful and just plain stupid to take that and praise it as a positive quality. Weird indeed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seemed like the writer was kind of trying to be ~edgy because there was absolutely no reason to bring it up. How is this a compliment is beyond me... the fact that he meant it well made it even worse imo. Strangely enough, it's not umcommon - things can't get much weirder than when it comes to Cobain's suicide. It's been turned into a cool story more times than I can count. "He was on heroin and then he killed himself. What a cool, authentic artist!!!". It's twisted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Platypus2000 Posted January 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2017 I love Billie's vocal style in the trilogy. Been listening to it a lot lately and I'll be glad to appreciate it for what it is while other people trash it. Lazy Bones is so fucking dark after knowing what he's been through and Wild One has grown on me so fucking much. What a song. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if he really meant it as an insult, I'd just think whatever, the guy must be blind But to put it as a compliment like that was just weird and uncalled for. And that's a good example, Kurt's death (and addiction) has been terribly romanticized. It's true that praising addiction as part of the "rock'n'roll spirit" is not uncommon, but when I see someone randomly write something like that in the middle of an otherwise nice review, it makes me realize how strange and out of place it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be blind either way Yes, precisely. Reading that review, it struck me how messed up this is. It's not only Kurt, the whole 27 Club thing is incredibly disturbing in my opinion and so is romanticizing/normalizing addiction. I mean, as a society, we are inconsistent - it's cool to be fucked up as long as you're a celebrity, but kids, don't try this at home and in real life, being judgemental is mostly a thing. As I said, weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
