Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted December 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2017 My worlds are colliding! I was asked on this forum about the origin of my username. Well here he is, Dominic Monaghan (aka Charlie Pace from Lost, Merry from LOTR) alongside BJA at the People’s Choice Awards 2006! I’m so glad to know they’ve met. And 5’7” Dom was always my yardstick against which to assert that Billie was also 5’7”. This photo finally proves it. ❤️ Hobbits 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand why Billie referred to Nimrod as a "lyrical nightmare." There are some amazing lyrics on that album. How the hell can he not see that!?

I don’t think it he meant the ultimate quality was poor, it was just the fact that he didn’t have them ready going into the studio to record and that made it harder. So it may have felt like a pressure filled chore but you wouldn’t know it from the results. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I pretend that Last Ride In doesn't exist, I can say that Nimrod is a perfect album. Seriously though, I love it so much and I would hate if Billie regretted it/was disappointed in it. On the subject of LRI, do you think that's why Last Ride In is a thing? Like, did they intend for LRI to be instrumental, or did they just turn it into an instrumental because Billie couldn't write/hadn't written/felt too stressed/pressured to write lyrics? I've heard rumours that there were originally lyrics for LRI, but I've never heard any of the guys confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard rumours that there were originally lyrics for LRI, but I've never heard any of the guys confirm this. I'd hope it's supposed to be instrumental because to me having a chilled out surfy instrumental "interval" in the middle of the album between fast aggressive songs is genius . It really sounds like a complete song as an instrumental too, I can't imagine it with lyrics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I got the new Rolling Stone today and they have a bunch of year end lists. I was bummed to not see Still Breathing in the list of top singles, but I wasn't surprised. I was surprised though that GD didn't make it to the best concert list. Once again, Rolling Stone did a shitty job with a list. happens all the time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted December 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2017 I was just in Barnes & Noble and they had a display of vinyl up front as you enter the store. Found one copy of GFB in the back, pulled it out and stuck it in front because that’s the kind of fan I am. 🙂 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 American Idiot is about to hit 100 million views on YouTube, another milestone. It would become the 5th video on their channel to reach over 100 million views. I also predict that Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and eventually even Basket Case will overtake 21 Guns as long-time number one in terms of views, because they both appear to be more ''long-time'' hits or ''legacy'' songs, whereas 21 Guns was a huge hit at the time, but is quickly losing popularity today (at least on YouTube and on my local charts). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this site shows the statistics for the GD channel videos http://kworb.net/youtube/artist/greenday.html Basket Case does have 15k more average daily views than 21 Guns so if it continues like that, it's going to take quite a long time to overtake it. 21 Guns is still gaining quite a lot of views daily 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 This afternoon I have been wrapping up Christmas presents while listening to 21st Century Breakdown! When I was trying to wrap Dads presents, he opened my door and stuck his head into my room - I shouted 'hey, hey, hey' (which would make a good GD chant! ) and he quickly left my room! Oh, and I've put insomniac on my Christmas wish list. It wasn't my favourite GD album when I 1st started to listen to GD- but over time I've started to like it more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac is cool to have, the cover/booklet folds out into one big piece of artwork. Plus having the lyrics close at hand is always useful for that album 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was exactly the same - when I first started listening to GD, Insomniac was my least favourite GD album. Now it's my second favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bellie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 As I was wondering where the original photo I used for my profile pic came from (yup, I had completely forgotten), I randomly found it in an article entitled "Did Green Day skip a Milwaukee date because of Billie Joe Armstrong's 1995 arrest for indecent exposure?" Surprisingly, this satiric article features a bunch of nice photos of the boys. And I don't even remember having read it before. Oh well : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
