Random Green Day Thoughts

I remember watching it at work - it was filmed by someone in the audience.  It was pretty good quality -- I thought.

Oh I had no idea people went so out of their way to film :lol:

These bootlegs are still possible to watch though. I'm pretty sure I saw someone post a link on Tumblr so it's still saved somewhere

Yeah the ushers/staff at the theatre were really quick to stop anyone with a phone from taking pictures!

I'll have to have a look on Tumblr and see if I can find it. I've seen gifs and bits and pieces but not the full show. Will post any info if I find it!

Saw this at Target today and immediately thought of Billie and his love for this movie. It was a sweatshirt/jumper.

I was just scrolling through dozens of Green Day's live videos and decided to finally click on this. I've always thought it was just some fan made music video for Murder City, but it turned out to be pro footage live version of that song. If I understood it right, it was posted on Green Day's own website. How cool it would be to get clips like this from Trilogy's songs? Especially Lady Cobra, Lazy Bones and Angel Blue deserves to have professional footage.

The top comment on this video is pure gold 😂

Billie looks so emo French in this video.

I know this joke is so old but I made a Bratwurst poster because it's a long way until Feburary and the release of FOAM...

when talking about Dirty Rotten Bastards, everyone just talks about Mike's epic bass part or how the tune is Christmassy... but nobody talks about what a hopeless, depressing, and heartbreaking song this is. It's beautiful in a painful way, and just excruciating, heavily relatable to anyone who has ever felt so far gone that there was no hope left. It's even more so than Restless Heart Syndrome... especially the "carried away" part

Skip to 1:10 :P

 

I agree it's Chirstmassy though. And it's a lot of fun to sing. But I also agree that it's hopeless. It's not even a depressed kind of hopelessness, it's the kind of hopelessness that's like "everything is so fucked up and nothing matters what even hahaha guess I'm gonna die"

Doesn't carmen die at the end of the opera? F i t t i n g  also that's crazy I never saw that comparison before...

yeah, i do agree with you. And that makes it even more heartwrenching. The line "when the afterlife is not worth dying for" (i think that's the lyrics) is one of the most so, because  [This is only how I interpret it at least] it's someone in such a state that they feel no matter what they do, they'll end up in hell or whatever, so it's not even worth it to end it all early. That hit me, it reallllly did 😢

Yes, she does. 

I like your interpretation of that line. I never came up with a good take at it... DRB is full of moments like this - "chop me a line of my best friend's ashes" "i'm on a bender that's for the ages"

"I've got the urge/ to binge and surge/ the tables turn/ to crash and burn"

people interpret the song as a story of a rebel kid or something like Jesus of Suburbia, but I interpret it as the narrator (whether it is Billie Joe himself or anyone else is not my place to say) losing all hope in anything good, and resorting to the most wild lifestyle he can think of to try and have "fun" and forget/avoid the topic that he's done everything he's done. The "Juliana Homicide" part makes me interpret that this narrator lost someone close to him. He regrets everything he's done but he's trying to block that out. He wants to die or cease to exist but is too scared of the unknown world after death. It's so deep and heartbreaking to me that I can't even listen to it anymore 😢

“Chop me a line of my best friend’s ashes” is without a doubt the darkest line he’s ever written imo 🥺

the whole song Bang Bang votes for an objection, as does Kill Your Friends, which I sort of believe was actually the first draft of Bang Bang (can anyone confirm or deny this?)

I don’t think so pretty sure KYF was written much more recently but either way to me those songs are very different from each other in tone and also POV. BB is from the point of view of someone who commits a mass shooting while I interpret KYF as being from the POV of the rest of society that has to live with these shootings and respond in some way, either with meaningless thoughts and prayers or just a fatalistic attitude of getting depressed, throwing up your hands and saying what’s the use we’re all gonna die anyway.  
 

With DRB the narrator has done this to himself and is entirely self destructive. With KYF the narrator feels like the victim of a violent society and feels no matter what they do, they and their friends are gonna end up statistics.

I was watching YouTube and in this one video, it’s by Happy Popcorn, there is a GD poster and they’re stick figures. The video is Funny Controversial Comics With A Pinch Of Sarcasm And Dark Humor.

Idk, I mean, i watched an interview where Tre said that some of the Longshot songs are actually songs that didn't make the Green Day cut... so I always assumed that BJA wrote Kill Your Friends first, but then rewrote it and made it darker, but liked KYF too so decided to use it on the Longshot? Idk. That's why I always found both songs disturbing, though I agree that the tone is different, KYF is something I can listen to but Bang Bang makes me low key sick...

KYF also got low key Dirty Rotten Bastards vibes

That's an interesting way to look at it...I always saw both songs to contain the POV of the shooter (I saw KYF as switching between the shooter and society's POV)  but I can understand that view. Who knows?
