Popular Post The Grohl Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 Just now, DadBod said: They (I'm going to assume it was Bill S who replied) said on the Longshot facebook page that they aren't doing a CD release. Only digital and vinyl. OMG I hate it when bands do that shit. It's so annoying, especially because I know I'm not the only one here asking for it. I understand digital and vinyl pulls in the most sales, but there's still a market for CDs. People still want or prefer them. Ah well. Guess if I ever see the vinyl for cheap I'll pick it up...eventually. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 23 hours ago, That Dude said: So desperate to hear new Green Day, I came across this. Don't know how I missed this, but it's got Tre Cool singing and hassling Hank Hill. Kind of want to download these songs. "Thou Shalt Not" and "Fun Center!" What if THESE ended up on Album 13? Perhaps as part of a 5 part song???????? Welp, I think I've officially heard everything the guys have ever done. This was it. The final frontier of Green Day. I always liked it because it reminds me of The Lookouts. Also the other band members are Billie and Mike but all you hear from them there is a laugh. They're in the episode a bit more (they have a paintball match against Hank and friends) but still Billie and Mike only say like two words between them in the entire thing for some reason lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lie, he said Nimrod was a lyric nightmare and he regrets ever going into the studio without lyrics. It could have been one that he just didn’t bother. Just listened to Nimrod while cleaning the other day. LRI is the only one I skip immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I will never understand is how come that Nimrod lyrics are so amazing when he said he churned them out in the studio just so that he'd have something so sing. He did so well with that album. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would have written some of the lyrics or released it the way it is if he had been thinking clearly. Maybe there'd be no trilogy at all.

I always laugh at that part in Cuatro, because I think Nimrod is their best album, lyrically speaking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been one that he just didn’t bother. I don't take everything he says in interviews too literally, I take this to really mean that he didn't have lyrics for everything which is not to say he didn't do a good job, but I bet he has bits and pieces of lyrics all over the place and always has ideas, though not fully formed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 We know some of it was written in advance, the obvious example is Good Riddance but also Reject was pretty much just an adaptation of the letter he wrote to that fan's mother.

Wretched & Divine Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Which of the trilogy do you guys feel to be the strongest standalone? No amendments, just exactly as is. I always find myself gravitating towards Tre when I go to listen to any of them, and I never really spare any thought for Dos but I think it's more because it's in the middle than due to it being "worse" than Uno. If that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Agreed, but god Nightlife drags this one down. There’s also a few other borderline cringy ones, but if you interpret them light-heartedly or from a “Billie Joe I’m drunk and just don’t give a shit Armstrong” then they’re alright. Some very strong tracks as well to balance the bill. I also do think it’s actually the least serious of the three, attitude wise (in kind of FBHT fashion) and that is something within the madness that is otherwise the trilogy, which I can somewhat respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wretched & Divine Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Y'all stand by Dos despite Nightlife, but I'm over here having to stand by Sex, Drugs & Violence 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I'm in the minority and think Uno is the strongest of the trilogy with Dos as a close Dos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
