Random Green Day Thoughts

Recommended Posts

Was listening to The Longshot earlier and I nearly choked on my glass of water when I heard the words April Fools during Turn Me Loose- we certainly had an April Fools last week :lol:

About The Longshot, I thought until recently, in Soul Surrender, that "blow my nose" (in the line "I think I need a long vacation to keep me clean and blow my nose") was the same thing as "punch my nose", because of the various meanings of "blow". I only found out recently what "blow one's nose" meant. So until then I thought that Billie wanted to get his nose punched while he would be in vacation, and I kinda liked that idea :lol:. Oh well. The echo to the "punch in the nose" line in Chasing a ghost wasn't helpful to pull me out of my mistake :P.

Now I won't unhear this meaning :P

The other option is that it's about the cold he had and luckily recovered from.

When I listen to DOS I imagine Im at a small club show except for Ashley - that song just sux.

Damn! DRAG A BITCH :lol: imo, I love Ashley! Not a fan of Lady Cobra or Nightlife :wacko: i just don't like Lady Cobra's voice. Makes me feel like I'm watching one of those low-budget pornos with the bad, unnecessarily story lines :lol:

Lady Cobra is so much fun too! It's such a classic rock'n'roll song - you have to sing along to it and pretend you're elvis lol

I like Nightlife but I totally agree about her voice and her terrible delivery.

I love Nightlife, without caring about Lady Cobra's voice though! I'll say she sings bad when I will manage to sing properly lol!

As for Walk Away, I freaking love that song, one of my very fave GD songs, one of those I can listen to over and over without it never getting boring :wub:. I wish they would play it live in full once. Before The Longshot I never thought I would experience Stay The Night and Fell For You live so, even though Walk away may be a bit hard to sing live, you never know.

When I think of it, there are quite a few trilogy songs Billie has shown to affectionate, and it makes me happy, whatever he chooses to play or not in the future.

Watching Superstore on Hulu and they just mentioned Green Day!  

Young cashier was talking to a 30-something.  here's sort of how it went down:

"You're old, right?  Like, you were alive in the 90s?"  

"Yes, the roaring 90s!" 

The young cashier is doing a Green Day themed birthday party for her two year old, because her MOM is a huge Green Day fan. 

Lots of talking about Green Day, lots of Green Day related jokes.  

If you want to find it, it's season 3, episode 11.  

I love Green Day so much it kind of makes me uncomfortable with them talking about them, haha.  

The main character is naming a bunch of Green Day songs.  All really popular ones of course.  But he named more than the "obvious three"  so that was cool.   

Superstore!

Walk Away is a great power pop song. Longshot should have tried that in their live shows instead of Wild One.

Ive always liked Walk Away - so simple.

Is there high-budget versions,

& yeah that's the point of her voice - DOS is dirty.  I listen to it more than RevRad.

That’s a rerun I think it aired last season but yeah obviously one of the writers is a fan. It was cool.

Usually the only place I can listen to Green Day and openly say it is at hockey games. At all other places people call me weird. I play in a new team, though, and when being asked about my favorite song, it was hard for me, cos usually I got laughed at for almost everything I did or said (in my old team). I thought about a song, chose a non-Green-Day rock song and there came absolutely no negative comment when my teammate played it. Later I realized another team mate had chosen a Green Day song - American Idiot! 

This reminds me of my first games I've played, cos the guys of my first team have always had American Idiot on before and after trainings and games!

I was listening to music while rolling pizza dough and of course, Green Day shuffled in. I was of course dancing my wee little ass off to Know Your Enemy. I mean, I looked like that meme of Freddie Mercury.

Anyways, the little old hag that works with us and judges everyone was like "what the fuck is this? why would you listen to this?!" I WAS SO OFFENDED. I WAS INSTANTLY PLANNING HER MURDER AND HOW TO GET AWAY WITH IT. NOT LITERALLY. BUT I WAS POUTING.

Ugh though. I absolutely love 21st Century Breakdown. Just such a fun album to run through. It's the best.

Oh Green Day, where are you??? I may or may not go to Record Store Day tomorrow.....

Rehab had a new album out today, so that's cool.  Tried to find it in stores and realized that no store near me sells cds anymore :(  Need to figure out the closest one before GREEN DAY 13.

My constant dillema is i like the way the demo of Ashley sounds more, but i like that the Dos version has more lyrics to it and is longer :((
