I feel like the remix has made me rediscover the trilogy and I've found some really good songs that I didn't really pay attention to before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marki. Posted August 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2017 I can't believe it's officially been a year since we got Bang Bang I'll never forget hearing it on the radio for the first time, what a great day... and then having it on repeat for days and not getting sick of it. Still not tired of it now, whenever I put it on it brings back the happy feeling of hearing it for the first time 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's a shame that Green Day made a lot effort to do things differently on this record (like Mike taking bass lessons, producing it themselves, Billie using bowed guitar etc.) but it still sounds like every Green Day album since 2004.

First of all, no it doesn't and secondly why is that a bad thing if it sounds like Green Day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been making the same album for years now. It's so clear to see. They just need to sound like Green Day so they can get album sales from mindless fans who would never think to criticize the band. It's sad really that this is what the band has turned into.

They certainly didn't do it because it was the mainstream, popular thing, they did it to challenge themselves. They've always done what they wanted except there are some fans that just want them to do Kerplunk over and over. They've had an impressive range over the years which has been much more interesting as a fan. I love that there's an album that suits my every mood. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that song so much, it's so freaking catchy. I think it got lost in the rushed Tre release unfortunately and didn't get the attention it deserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally scrapped an album that was that and made American Idiot instead of it . And then 21st CB went even more theatrical and ambitious. Surely their older simpler stuff is closer to that description? And they've always made melodic/catchy/radio friendly songs since day one, that's just how they write music. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that the older stuff was more raw and rough around the edges. and Billie's vocals were 100% times then they are now. his vocals used to be so distinct now they sound like every pop punk band out right now. The story around AI and 21CB is definitely ambitious but musically is not. It has no edge, no personality to it, just incredibly bland pop rock.

I'm...pretty sure he has the same vocal chords he had in 1994. This is a real stretch of a post and not sure why you're making it. Those two albums are literally the least bland albums of their career, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, St. Jimmy, Christian's Inferno...no edge or personality at all. And certainly nothing musically ambitious about a nine minute punk song. *sigh* I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. And you've got it backwards, he doesn't sound like every pop punk band out there, they sound like him: Billie inspired a lot of imitators, so a lot of pop punk bands now try and sound like GD. But GD are the innovators. That's how you get inducted into the RandRHoF baby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all green day is, power chords. They refuse to do anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post herewegoagain Posted August 13, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2017 It's a beautiful thing every time they do it but the No Racism.. chant from Omaha makes me really proud of them, and of being a fan. Like somebody commented on Billie's latest insta post, the fact that they're using their voice/platform to promote positive change is so important and what makes them so real and admirable. Just scrolling through a bunch of those comments is pretty inspiring, as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be horrified rather than inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
