Hermione Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 6 hours ago, PursuitOfEpicness said: I'm gonna say no due to paranoia of the instances last time, but you never know! I'm pretty sure something like that wouldn't happen again, festivals are so much more controlled and sanitised now and also Green Day's on stage behaviour is different. It would probably be a cool nostalgia thing. Maybe not living up to the epicness of last time would be a concern though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I did wonder but remember Billie's quote "Woodstock was about the closest thing to anarchy I've ever seen in my whole life and I didn't like it"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disappearing-Shawn Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'd hope that they would do it. 94 was a pretty big event, I know a couple people who went and some who wish they went! I read there was about as many people or more than the original Woodstock! I'm just hoping tickets aren't too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Tre's version of Chocolate Rain came on the playlist this morning. I hadn't heard that thing in years and couldn't stop laughing at the lyrics like "Orlando Bloom was good in that one movie" and "there's no parking spaces on Grand Street"! If anyone would like to refresh their memories of this one here's a link: http://www.lyrics-24.com/lyrics,tre-cool-chocolate-rain.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Rain is oddly enough one of my favorite Green Day songs, haha. Mr. Tre Cool needs to sing on the new album. I'm about to start listening to The Lookouts just to hear him singing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I've had Peacemaker and Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) on repeat 24/7 for the past week. Can't believe I've pretty much overlooked those songs for all these years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjanewhatsername Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 My dudes, I just got a Dutch Bros rebel (blended energy drink with assorted flavors added to it, Dutch Bros is a popular coffee chain in the Pacific Northwest of the United States) and it made me think of what if we started a Green Day themed coffee shop?! Each drink would be named after a song or something. Super random! But it would be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I've pretty much overlooked those songs for all these years! Yeah, due to the less "heavy" guitar riffs, i.e. not with the kind of post AI standard Green Day distortion like on other tracks, I always thought they were a bit soft and boring at first. But when I listened to the HDTracks version of 21CB, which has the greater dynamic range, these songs suddenly came to life for me. The riffs suddenly sounded so vibrant and I love with Viva La Gloria (Little Girl) especially how the song gradually grows in intensity and strength. The greater dynamic range suddenly reveals the many different levels on which this song is constructed (also track wise). There's a ton of instrumentation going on. One of the shortfalls of 21CB in my opinion, was that it took the formula of AI , but tried to be even more ambitious. That however, is when the production let it down big time. The way it was mastered meant that some of the many tracks were simply drowned out and everything became a uniform "sludge". So, I would recommend everyone to get the HDTracks version of 21CB (and of AI if you don't have the 2009 vinyl), it really makes some songs you may have previously overlooked come to life! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LaughingClock Posted February 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2019 Was just at a Super Bowl party and one of the guys there’s mother was Billie Joe’s son’s nanny’s son. lol. That was hard to understand. See, Billie had a nanny for his kids, and nanny had a son. Of course being the fanboy that I am (see, not ashamed) and he had some cool stories that his mother shared with him. Hope all of you have been well. Until next time. Peace. By the way, I would and will share said stories (the ones I remember but I’m too drunk and stoned now but another time). 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just looked it up and there's one in Renton, Tacoma, and Everett. I haven't been to one because I never go very much farther south or north if I can help it. Most of my friends live in Everett, though. Maybe they've been to it. I will go try it next time I hang out in Everett! That's an awesome idea, btw! ❤️ I feel like I've thought about something similar before too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wasted opportunity no one has done it yet. I like the coffee shop idea too. I love coffee so that would be cool. Best thing about it would be that most people wouldn't even realize they're in a band themed place if the references used aren't too obvious 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of the Theatre Cafe in London - it's dedicated to musicals and when American Idiot was on in the West End they named a coffee Americano Idiot You could totally have a whole range: Nice Guys Finish Latte, Cappe Diem, Give Me Mocha-caine, Expresso-Love 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the bum bum bums existed but thought they were made by an instrument, not a human voice There's something really personal about acapellas, very intimate - you can hear everything.

Maddie86 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 So there's a coffee company called "death wish coffee" that sells highly caffeinated coffee, and Bones coffee has one too called "high voltage". Oakland Coffee should totally do one next year for the 25th anniversary of insomniac! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pouty bitch Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 Was listening to J.A.R earlier and it has some of GD's best lyrics imo. I'd love to have a new song written by Mike on the next album, but it's unlikely. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
