Miko Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It took almost 6 years for something crazy happening.. This song is universally hated and meme in Green Day's subreddit.. But after almost 6 years I've for real actually started to like it.. Welcome to my ''My Favorite Green Day songs'' playlist, Nightlife. This lefts only Wild One and Ashley not being included my playlist from ¡Dos! which is crazy since so many people actually hates the party album. Comparing other trilogy albums, only few selected ones are in that playlist (from ¡Uno!: Nuclear Family, Let Yourself Go, Stay The Night, Kill the DJ and Loss of Control. From ¡Tre!: Brutal Love, Sex, Drugs and Violence, Amanda, Dirty Rotten Bastards and Missing You) so ¡Dos! is by far the best trilogy album and definitely most fun one. Wild One and Ashley aren't bad, they are just not for me (Wild One being way too slow and Ashley being filler). I'm still kind of amazed how much I love ¡Dos! right now. I mean, I started to like Nightlife for fucks sake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started a new job yesterday and while I was filling out paperwork, Basket Case came on the radio and I took that as a sign that it was going to be a good job. I hope I'm right!

I probably wouldn't have picked that either if I'd thought about it. Aww, I’m sorry. I don’t think either of them are necessarily bad answers. They open themselves up to a lot of follow-up questions. I don’t know what I would’ve picked about myself if I was in your position. That’s a really hard question because it’s personal and subjective. I guess at least you can use it as a learning experience? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I randomly thought about the American Idiot movie yesterday. What is going on with that thing?? That album brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it, but has the time passed? Will anyone other than hardcore Green Day fans still care if it came out today? It's been over 14 years since American Idiot. At this point, the movie would have to be as well executed as the album, or it would flop! I don't want something that I'm so passionate about to be into crappy film, but man. I just don't know if any piece of art could top what that album did for me. Scary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about what's going on with the movie sometimes too. I still hope Billie will play St. Jimmy like he kept saying he would, but I'm just wondering if he'll even have time with everything else if Green Day is going to start working on a new album, etc. He's also not getting any younger, despite how ageless he appears to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 who here was around during Nimrod's release? I remember them spouting that Nimrod was basically "like a double album" cause it was "longer and more songs than our previous albums" which looking back is funny to me knowing now they'd go on to make 21st which is basically 80 mins long and then do a 3 album series 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleasedToMeetMe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Its weird to think how different it was being a Green Day fan between 2000-2003 compared to after American Idiot came out. By 2003 Green Day was pretty much non existent, a year later they were the biggest band on the planet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for American Idiot, no. At least I don't think so. Green Day were pretty much written off as "washed up" until American Idiot came out. Even then, it wasn't really until BOBD came out a single that they became super massive. I remember when The Network album came out and listening to it with my friends and they were BLOWN AWAY that Green Day was still around, and especially that they would do an album like that. Then when AI came out everyone was all "whooooah, Green Day's back". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I will always regret not going to Hyde Park. The tickets were expensive as fuck but so many bands I love played consecutively and that'll probably never happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if in Billie's live the other day if that was a new Foxies song... 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to this album, and while my jury is still out, the title track and "Little Help" instantly grabbed me, thanks for reminding me about the Trio! I'm going to be checking out Blue October's new one as well. Gotta love those color-named bands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
