Pat1308 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 What's "Rest"? Why haven't I heard of it yet? Here. Feel free to hate on it. Come to think of it, this is probably an...erm, interesting song to get drunk or stoned to. (Not that I smoke pot - I don't smoke anything, since the folks around me do that for me. Cigs, that is.) Or a good song to belch out when you're heavily drunk or stoned. Okay, maybe I might try singing this the next time I get drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDayBass Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's on 39/Smooth, and because you're a terrible fan Possibly the terriblest fan out there. Is terriblest even a word? No? I don't care. I'm using it anyways. Here. Feel free to hate on it. Come to think of it, this is probably an...erm, interesting song to get drunk or stoned to.

Sanket Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I REALLY REALLY like Oh Love and Know Your Enemy.. Oh Love is plain catchy (and the solo is pretty great ) And Know Your Enemy is a really good song to get pumped up to and feel bad-ass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I dislike Rest until I hear it, and then I kinda like it. Weird. I've never listened to it all the way through. I've got about 15 seconds into it before I skipped at longest. Totally boring song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Some people just want to watch the world burn, don't they? I've never listened to it all the way through.

Spike Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 This is clearly the best version of Knowledge ever. The brass arrangement, groove, Billie's vocals, audience response, everything... all just perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 D'you know where I could download this? Yup. It's also got the best version of The Grouch ever, and "David's Song" which was done on the fly, and is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Amazing show all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Carpe Diem, Angel Blue, Lazy Bones, Ashley, Baby Eyes, Lady Cobra, Nightlife,The Forgotten.. The rest a pretty awesome to me, the records have their own style thats what I love the most. dafaq, angel blue and carpe diem are two of my favorite uno songs...

PleasedToMeetMe Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 When I was like 17 or 18 me and my friends used to get really stoned and listen to 39/Smooth a lot because it is an album made by 17 or 18 year olds getting really stoned a lot. Rest was always the song that everybody was really quiet during because it was so slow and trippy. I dont know how Id feel about the song if I didn't always attach it to those memories. It does kind of have a weird hair metal ballad vibe going on, but it also sounds like something hippies would listen to. Totally out of place with the rest of the record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wee bit contradictory, eh? Okay, lets try something. What would someone, having only heard Dookie, mark out as the key aspects of Green Day's sound/style? Witty, introspective lyrics Catchy melodies Powerful yet simple guitar lines Impressive vocal harmonies Punchy drum lines that drive the songs forward Sneaky bass fills Tell me, honestly, would someone listening to 21stCB not say exactly the same things? With the obvious exception of the bass fills of course. The whole point about "sound maturing" or whatever is a bit irrelevant, considering that's completely a production thing. Also, I don't know much about your musical tastes, but if you're listening to GD for their guitar solos you're doing something very wrong. They're hardly very impressive. I think you have a point on number 2 and number 4 being parts of both 21cb and Dookie. But I'd argue the lyrical content/themes are far more political/outward in nature. Also if I'm a non-GD fan listening to 21cb I think the lead vocal/and great piano work is what I notice, outside of the lyric/themes. And I think sounding mature is a huge part of what sets them apart. Any regular person off of the street would have a hard time believing that the band that brought you Mudstock is the same band that just performed Wake Me Up When September Ends in front of 60,000 people on their live concert DVD. So many pop-punk bands got stuck and haven't matured much at all (See Blink 182) so GD's maturing is what sets them apart in a way. Sure if you break them down to their core they haven't changed a ton on their musical sheet, but that doesn't mean there isn't a vast change in the band we saw in the 90's to the one we see now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Also that Green Day punk version of Knowledge is far and away THE greatest version that exists. The Operation Ivy lead singer's voice is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Also that Green Day punk version of Knowledge is far and away THE greatest version that exists. The Operation Ivy lead singer's voice is awful It's weird, even playing it like that Green Day couldn't help but add an awesome groove to it. I don't think it's as good as the way they usually do it live, but it definitely feels more swung than the Operation Ivy original. The more I think about it, the more I think the version from Potsdam that I linked to a few posts up is the best cover ever. To get from the original song to the groovy version with brass and everything is just amazing. The first time I ever heard Knowledge was when I first saw Green Day live in 2005, and I was so disappointed in their studio version and the original when I heard them.
