Hermione Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 3 hours ago, WhiteTim said: I dunno if I’d say a massive leap from Kerplunk for me the only difference between Kerplunk and Dookie is the recording quality lyrically and musically they’re on the same level I wouldn't say it's quite the same level but I do agree Kerplunk and Dookie are similar. Probably more similar than any other two GD albums (not counting the trilogy separately), Welcome to Paradise fits equally well on both for one example. Kerplunk kind of seems like the practice for Dookie . I guess that makes sense if the major label liked Kerplunk and signed them and gave them access to a great studio and then it was time to make another album following on from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of them*, I'm partly influenced by the way Billie sings them nowadays (I like it better). So my favorite pre-Warning songs may be The One That I Want (yeah! ), Christie Road*, Basket Case*, She* and Walking Alone. Coming Clean, Armatage Shanks, 86, Panic Song and Scattered being honorable mentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yeah. Looking at it now I realize I should have added Who Wrote Holden Caulfield. Maybe I should do a Top 20 list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted May 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2018 You may remember that I have recently made a post pointing out the earth is flat in Green Day lyrics. What's interesting and usual about Billie's imagery of flat earth is the fact that it's possible to walk to its edge, which logically rises the question what is behind the edge amd if the narrator is there to jump over. In FN there's a line about looking over the edge and the same image is repeated in SB with "as I walked to the ledge/are you scared to death to live/I've been running all my life/just to fine the home that's for the reckless". In this essay I will explore how Green Day's flat earth is actually a poetic expression of Kierkegaardian leap of faith. 4 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirachi Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I have no idea why but there's SOMETHING about Church On Sunday i dont like, i guess? Every time i listen to Warning i get a feeling of "ugh Church on Sunday is next" and i have 0 idea why i always dread it? Its a great song and its catchy and well done there's just SOMETHING about it that makes me not look forward to it and i have 0 idea what it is >.< 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In FN there's a line about looking over the edge quote! standing on the edge of the world / looking down the edge of the world and the same image is repeated in SB with "as I walked to the ledge walked out on the ledge/are you scared to death to live/I've been running all my life/just to fine the home that's for the reckless restless!". In this essay I will explore how Green Day's flat earth is actually a poetic espression of Kierkegaardian leap of faith. More seriously, by reading this I just caught another meaning in Forever Now.

Thank you Haha thank you for the corrections. I was typing in a hurry and hasn't listened to those songs in a while, so the misquotes were bound to happen. I'm such a bad fan I'm glad you like my interpretation - it was originally meant to be a shitpost, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. I've been listening to that song for months and kept saying that it's a bit shallow (talking about Still Breathing), but now I had a sudden realization that it's in fact existential. I like to believe that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only thing that now bothers me about it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds more like she's a Christian but he wants to go to a synagogue and they decide to practice both faiths 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouty bitch Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Anyone else ever feel like the pre-chorus of Stay the Night would fit really well into Nuclear Family? Like, not necessarily lyrically, just when I'm singing along to Nuclear Family I always feel like the line after "Ba-baby baby it's a blowout wow yeah" should be "I gotta know if you're the one that got away." Idk, I just feel like it would flow well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bellie Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If you're not afraid to see with precision a chewing-gum in Billie's mouth, here's the perfect badass-Billie-chewing-gum video. Not even talking about the end how sassy Billie gets rid of his chewing-gum. I wanted to post this in the fangirls thread first, because of the great quality of the video, and as to illustrate my favorite hair of Billie's, and also because I was delighted to see that chewing-gum so well... but I'm not sure that would be the general reaction! So what do you think of the chewing-gum the way we see it here? fangirlworthy? cute? funny? disgusting? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can think about is... somebody is gonna step on that wad of gum and ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
