And probably the one I think is most underrated (although All the Time never gets enough love either). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ExpiredBananas Posted November 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Has anyone noticed that 'One of my lies' from Kerplunk and 'Basket Case' from Dookie follow the chords from Pachelbel's Canon in D? I thought it was kinda interesting when I realised. 17 hours ago, The Insider said: Misery is such a well crafted song. I better listen to it sometime. On 11/10/2018 at 10:16 AM, The Insider said: The intensity is incredible. I think I heard somewhere that 'Forever Now' was a mix of a bunch of ideas Billie had for songs. It took him like 3 hours to join them all together. That's really incredible. That sort of thing would take me a week, especially since each part is in a different key. Just shows how talented Billie is in music Edited November 15, 2018 by Hermione Please remove videos from quotes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how talented Billie is in music Yes I remember reading he kept chipping away at it until he finally got it. It was so unreal live - I wonder and hope it will be left in the setlist. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted November 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2018 Found this on soundcloud. It’s the interview they did one evening for Radio One (UK) just before UNO was released and they did that surprise set at Reading. It must be one of the most out of control radio broadcasts ever but it’s hilarious, albeit pretty sad now we know what came next. https://soundcloud.com/greendayuploader/green-day-bbc-radio-1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 @jengd fuck time for a single 😂 You know it's total chaos when Tre sounds the most normal. Thanks for posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so exciting listening to that the day before. Similarly even though we now know the show was almost cancelled on the day because Billie's people wanted him to go to rehab but he said no......it was still an awesome show and also the craziest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryjanewhatsername Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Has anyone noticed that Revolution Radio kind of hearkened back to the sound that 21CB had?? To me it doesn't sound anything like the trill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it doesn't sound anything like the trill. Yes, I also consider the overall sound has a 21 CB/American Idiot vibe to it. But I must admit Youngblood and Boucing of the Wall (perhaps Still Breathing during the verses) sound more like something out of the trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how their style has subtle evolutionary changes with each album. People bitch that it's "going more pop" but I disagree. I think that's ridiculous - punk evolves. The trilogy has more of a pop sound than the other ones, but I like it. I don't know - I don't want to gush too much, but RevRad has just SUCH a good sound and I really hope they carry it through to the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bellie Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm off the current discussion, but gotta love Billie's bodyguard (I don't recall his name) who catches the flag Billie took and tends it to him just in case he wants it back, until Billie turns away. So nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jirachi Posted November 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2018 I can't listen to Basket Case the same way anymore because every time i do and it gets to "Grasping to control / So i better hold on" i cant help but think "Grasping to contr- oh fuck this shit i wanna play a new song" and it bugs me 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryjanewhatsername Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Okay, so my novice ass just discovered Shenanigans. I'm STOKED. "Suffocate" is so so good and "Tired of Waiting For You" is such a good driving jam. "Rotting" was a really interesting song. I was trying to theorize on the meaning behind it. It is really dark, but doesn't feel depressing (if that makes any sense). It seems like it's talking about drugs and how they can make you feel. Feeling like your skin is rotting off and turning to dust - isn't that a sensation common with LSD if you're having a bad trip? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 @maryjanewhatsername That's a great record. I remember when I discovered it for the first time too. It was in a little music shop in downtown Bellingham and I'd never heard of it before, but of course I was thrilled and immediately bought it. I still love having physical copies of albums, so it was a great find! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I quite envy you still having new stuff to discover, it's a very exciting time. They have a great back catalogue but give yourself time to work through it so you can really enjoy it, there is a lot out there! I love Ha Ha Your Dead, which I think was written by Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
