I was listening to GD on shuffle today and Platypus came on, followed by F.O.D, followed by Let Yourself Go. It was absolute heaven. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouty bitch Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 On the subject of angry GD, is it just me that finds that Nightlife is a good song to listen to when you're angry (and pls don't make any wisecracks about it not being a good song to listen to at all)? Like, it's not a particularly angry song itself, but if I listen to it when I'm angry, it has the same kinda calming effect that songs like Horseshoes and Handgrenades or Take Back have.

I agree but for a different reason. I think it’s actually a very dark song and sounds dangerous. “My little Angel of Death is my nightlife” 💀 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So aside from the trilogy, every album from Warning until RevRad has been named after a song on the album. They toyed around with the idea during insomniac though, I've read that the album was going to be called "Tight Wad Hill" at one point. Also, the song Brain Stew was originally titled "Insomniac", so technically Brain Stew is the title track for that album in a way. It just has me wondering if maybe nimrod had a song on there that was originally called "nimrod" and it was going to have a title track. Probably not, but it's definitely a random thought I had earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if RevRad was named Somewhere Now instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now that I think about it I think it'd suit the album better, from what I remember of it the album's themes definitely focus more on looking back at the past and seeing the present through that lens than on the overtly political stuff that the title would imply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUBBYBUB Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I think they looked like Ed Ed and Eddy when they were in the dookie and insomniac era 🤣 Edited March 29, 2018 by BUBBYBUB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone suggesting it should've been called that when it came out and I agree wholeheartedly! They have a thing for bigging up their political side (eg the 99 Revolutions tour named after the one solitary political song out of 37 which didn't represent what those albums were at all), plus Billie said Rev Rad was his favourite song and does seem to genuinely be more excited for their political songs even when he hasn't written that many, and it's kind of their brand now so it makes sense for marketing too. But I think Somewhere Now would've been both a more appropriate representation of what the album is and just a more interesting title that might've given people a different perspective on the album and band than such a standard/expected this century's Green Day political sounding one. 8 hours ago, BUBBYBUB said: I think they looked like Ed Ed and Eddy when they were in the dookie and insomniac era 🤣 I had to google what that was, omg .

pouty bitch Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've come to the conclusion that I can't physically function unless I watch Jaded in Chicago at least once a day. Especially that performance of Going to Pasalacqua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent choice, one of my favourites of Going to Pasalacqua is in Florida, it's a crazy audience and Billie with dreads...... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well you could win a piece of Tre Cool (fragment of bone from a knee operation) by writing a haiku at one point so seems fairly valid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
