Maddie86 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 This morning I heard Jaded played on the radio without Brain Stew, I think this is the first time I've heard it on its own like that! I was so happy to hear it, that song's been stuck in my head all week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pouty bitch Posted February 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just had one of those moments when you're listening to GD and you just randomly burst into tears because you love them so much. 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thatsername Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 I went to a show of The Menzingers yesterday and right before the band came on, the guy who soundchecked the bass played the bass intro of Stuart and the Ave. I thought I’d die. Oh it was also a very good show, but this.... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a direct influence imo.

Wish we could do something similar again. It was the best, the DJ made the whole hour about Green Day and GDC, and the voting before it was super fun going and talking to the other forums making friends and enemies and close voting etc. It was the first year I was here so it's really memorable to me haha. And the next year Absolute Radio came back to us for fan questions for the band when they interviewed them. Just a one off contest they did unfortunately (and I've never heard of another contest like it) but it would be so cool to do again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hermione Posted February 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2018 I was just able to find our playlist by googling it and finding it on one of the losing forums . Pretty classy I think Green Day - Welcome to Paradise Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop Green Day - Scattered The Who - My Generation Generation X - Kiss Me Deadly Green Day - Going to Pasalacqua Bikini Kill - Rebel Girl Green Day - Letterbomb The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail Green Day - Christie Road Operation Ivy - Knowledge Green Day - Minority (Bullet in a Bible version) I believe they also played Jesus of Suburbia and the Simpsons Theme as bonuses. I have enjoyed remembering this 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was easier to choose the GD songs with them having less albums then but still the choices are stellar, it deserved to win.

Popular Post Thatsername Posted February 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2018 I just listened to The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away" and Green Day's cover of it in a row and, man, as much as I love the original version (big The Who fan!), the Green Day version is kicking its ass. Billie's voice is amazing in that song, especially the "You are forgiven" part. You hardly hear him sing like that in any other song, it's killing me (in a good way). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of your post, I just went and did the same. I hadn't heard the original in a long time and blimey, it has really dated! The Green Day version just sounds so much more together, right from the harmonies at the opening and I agree, Billie sounds great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I love all the four covers they did when 21st CB came out but A Quick One is particularly good. Also it always takes me right back to my Foxboro show, because I believed it would be the last song (although in the end they played Stop Drop and Roll one more time after it) I decided I was going to try as hard as I possibly could to drink it all in and remember it. There was plenty of time to do it because the number of times they repeated the "you are forgiven" part seemed endless and I think I succeeded because I can't listen to it without feeling like I'm there now . Lmao @ the beginning of it too When was the last time we got some studio covers from them, was it those ones 9 years ago or am I forgetting newer ones? They'd got so good at doing covers by then (massive improvement on their mostly boring earlier ones) that it's really a shame, it's about time they did some more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I actually think the song is better live (with the Foxboro Hot Tubs) too, this is in my opinion the best version. Something happend in 2014 that made his voice sound the best it had in years (compared to the slightly strained sound in 2012/2013). Sadly, it's got slightly worse since then (although mostly during a phase of heavy touring like on the RevRad tour, because he sounded really good at the small shows in January and February this year). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great recording of the song (although FBHT in the middle of the day is so wrong lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
