Purple Haze Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I always thought it was "I wanna drop out". I suppose it doesn't really matter, they both convey the same message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleasedToMeetMe Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I listened to Dos for the first time in a long time a couple of days ago. I think it's great, except Nightlife just seems to get worse everytime I listen to it and Wild One really has no lasting appeal whatsoeverl, those "WIIIILD ONE" backing vocals really kill it for me. Otherwise it is one of the best things Green Day has ever put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleasedToMeetMe Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's not a terrible song, it is just too long and boring. It doesn't really offer anything new, it would be a much better listen if it was just a 3 minute song. And the solo sounds like Mike Ness came into the studio and recorded it.

Spike Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 I had no idea there were backing vocals in Wild One because it's too much of a struggle to get past the intro. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'd rather listen to a Blink 182 song than Wild One. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollyroger118 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think you're all crazy, Wild Ones awesome its got such a great dark vibe though of course the lyrics are crap though I do like the chorus a lot. But the instruments are amazing IMO and I think it hit the vibe that DOS was going for better than any other on the album 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Nimrod Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Congratulations on not being one of the painfully musically illiterate people who hear a band play triplets for a bar and assume it sounds that way because there's something wrong with the CD. What? I always thought it was "I wanna drop out". Me too. I really don't get the hate for Wild One, its slightly darker than Green Days usual stuff which i like and the solos sexy The solo is its only redeeming factor imo.

Anaïs. Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 out of all the shit songs on the trilogy i still don't see why people hate wild one so much "I'm drinking the Kool-Aid/I jumped on the gruh-nade..." In addition to its sucking, the attempted rhyme is so painful I wince every time I think of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulder Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 out of all the shit songs on the trilogy i still don't see why people hate wild one so much I agree. Why hate that one when there are shit songs like "Fell For You" on the trilogy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrduckygoosy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I agree. Why hate that one when there are shit songs like "Fell For You" on the trilogy? Fell For You is great, poor lyrics though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulder Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Fell For You is great, poor lyrics though That's why I can't stand it, though. If the lyrics in a song are lacking, even if the music itself is alright, I just don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to its sucking, the attempted rhyme is so painful I wince every time I think of it. I don't even think it's the lyrics that are the problem. If ever a song needed to be about 100bpm faster to make sense it's that one. It just feels so weird and lethargic, listening to it feels like wading through treacle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes back to the issue of quality control. If you release so many songs some of them are bound to be good but it comes at the price of a higher number of duds. What? People thought that the bar of triplets in the last chorus of Church On Sunday was the CD skipping. As you'd know if you'd read any of the posts I was responding to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
