Dang I haven’t heard them play Dilemma yet! Im gonna listen more in the car now lol. Something about hearing it on the radio and knowing others are listening to it too makes it sound better. Random thought: I’m a fan of Green Day, but don’t consider myself a fan of pop punk. Not that Green Day fits into that pop punk category entirely.

Not that Green Day fits into that pop punk category entirely. I feel like post-American Idiot is pretty poppy compared to 1,000 Hours-American Idiot. American Idiot could have some poppy stuff, but I don't necessarily mind. Random thought: Letterbomb + Strange Days + 86 = A well-constructed song that represents three of God's favorite band's most important decades. (1990s due to Dookie, Tre joining and experimenting for Nimrod, 2000s due to American Idiot, recording BIAB and 21 Guns + Know Your Enemy, 2020s due to the 1972 teasers mostly and the return of former fans of the band) I believe the 2010s were important as well, with the Trilogy, RevRad, Back in the USA and a string of secret shows.

They thought they were imitating them but it ended up creating something entirely different and then they stayed in that lane while Green Day by that time had already evolved to the next thing. They were always better and creatively ahead of everyone else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashback Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm reading the biography The True Lives of My Chemical Romance right now and they mention Green Day couple of times and say really nice things about them (also while they toured together in 2005). And since Rob Cavallo produced The Black Parade and Danger Days there are also some very interesting insights about the recording process with him. Can totally recommend the book 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Grohl Posted February 8 Popular Post Share Posted February 8 The other day I listened to American Idiot from start to finish, which I haven't done in a long time. What an amazing album. Of course I know it's a good album, but something about listening to it again really struck me. The songs are damn near perfect. The performances are out of this world. It's absolutely fantastic. For a long time I could never decided if Dookie or AI was my favorite GD album and after that playthrough, it's definitely AI. I fell in love with it all over again! I still remember when I first got a copy of the album. My mom took me to Circuit City and I picked up two CDs: AI and Maroon 5's Songs about Jane. Out of the two, I never would've guessed that I would continue to follow Green Day 20 years later. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 99th revolution Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 American Idiot was my first GD CD, I got it mainly because my first time I listened to Green Day I think I only knew Holiday, AI, Boulevard and Brain Stew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren’t wrong 😂😂 I remember liking Dookie but thinking Billie looked a bit of a nasty little oik and then saw AI and remember thinking, “wait, that’s the same guy”!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 99th revolution Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I had no knowledge of Green Day even when I first got into Holiday in June. Then I heard them on the alternative radio and thought "this sounds familiar" and looked for the song, had an accidental listen to Boulevard and found out the song was American Idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I will die on the hill that Songs About Jane is still a good album. But the rest of their output? It's pretty trash. I jumped the Maroon 5 ship around the time of their third or fourth album. Now I absolutely can't stand Adam Levine's dopey ass face. That face of his is so absurd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I've got a list of Green Day songs that I'm trying to confirm to be fake. Have you guys ever heard even a single note of the following songs? 1. A Boy Named Tre Cool 2. Don’t Look Away 3. Dream 4. F!@# You 5. Fell For Snoo 6. Can’t Make Love 7. I’ll Make You Surrender (Not the trilogy song) 8. I’m a Loser 9. Jezebel (not the trilogy song) 10. Let’s Party 11. Miss July 12. Mystery Girl (not the trilogy song) 13. Rossini Finale 14. Slayer Reprise 15. Take Away My Heart 16. Taringa! 17. Too Young To Die (not Too Young from the American Idiot sessions or Too Dumb to Die) 18. Trippin With Tre (Piano and drum solo) 19. Walk Away (Not the Tre song OR the Cigerretes and Valentines song) 20. We’re 21. What You Say 22. Why Blink-182 Will Never Be As Good As Green Day 23. With The Funky Rebels 24. You Really Got a Hold On Me 25. You’re Gonna Lose That Girl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Really Got a Hold On Me 25. You’re Gonna Lose That Girl Don't Look Away is a working title for The Forgotten. Dream could mean the cover of Boudleaux Bryant's All I Have To Do Is Dream played in 1992 which was written as Dream in setlist.fm at some point. Fell For Snoo is a working title for Fell for You. I'll Make You Surrender is an alternate title for Red Lights something. Jezebel is an unreleased song from the trilogy sessions which could be Troublemaker. Walk Away could be the American Idiot song. What You Say was one of the fan-speculated titles for Stay. Too Young to Die is presumably a working title for Carpe Diem. I've heard of You Really Got a Hold On Me but I keep thinking of the Kinks song Van Halen covered. How did you get all these titles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
