Guest Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I blame my apathy towards Green Day right now entirely on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 i totally understand your point, it's really not exciting to be a fan right now but i think we are just going through that period between the records, as far as i know the span after AI and 21stCB was quite long and why should green day be dying just because we haven't heard anything special in about one year Indeed. There was a four year gap between Warning and American Idiot and five years between American Idiot and Breakdown, and given that they put three albums out within a matter of months we're not technically due a new one until like 2024.

SfarrInsomniac Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I hate those people who hate Green Day because they don't like the trilogy or they hate Green Day because there trying new stuff (they always have)so they're not considered punk anymore or they just believe they sold out I just think people are pulling excuses out of their asses some people haven't even listened to them and decided they don't like them I don't care if everyone hates them ( I fucking love them ) it doesn't matter to me just come up with a better reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But unlike AI and Breakdown, the trilogy got old fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyxLongview Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Maybe for you lol I still like Tre, but as a whole the trilogy didn't really cut it for me. But hey, I'm glad you still are enjoying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's funny how 37 songs can get old so quickly for some people. Dos hasn't got old for me because I've still only listened to it twice and don't intend to again. But the more time goes on the more into Uno I get. It's probably the slowest burning album of all time. As for Tre, I've liked it a lot all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Kong Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Posted this elsewhere but it was suggested I put it here. I nearly delete 21st Century Breakdown (album) every time I open my iTunes and happen to run across it but than my OCD kicks in and says the discog would incomplete if I did.

People were happy to wait for Breakdown coz they were interested in the follow-up to American Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny UNO was my least favourite of the trilogy but I have left it playing in the car & I quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 It actually gets less stale for you as time goes on? That quite honestly blows my mind. It really does. The first time I listened to it I loved the first two tracks and was totally unmoved by the rest. But these days I like most of the album, and at least 8 songs from it are on my Green Day playlist.

I'm the exact inverse--I've gone from at least mildly liking a lot of it to only really caring for Oh Love, unless we count Demolicious/Dookiefied Guitars versions, which add back a few (Kill the DJ, Rusty James, etc.).

The Disappearing Boy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nope, Uno is still one of the worst things they've ever released. I did quite like it to start off with, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it shares last place with Dos on my list of Green Day albums. Can't really chose a worse one between them. The only thing they hold for me is some sort of nostalgia for the excitement and love I felt for them when they first came out. That quickly disappeared once I returned to GDC and particularly this thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quickly disappeared once I returned to GDC and particularly this thread I guess I don't have the nostalgia thing to deal with because I was really disinterested in Green Day when it came out. I missed the buildup entirely, I had too much going on at the time to pay any attention, then when it was too late I was like "...oh."

I was quite uninterested in Green Day until I heard the announcement of a new album from Billie Joe in Feb 2012. Then it built up, and was intensified by the fact that I'd been so uninterested in them. Then yeah, the Trilogy came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed in Uno, Dos basically obliterated my interest in Tre and then I didn't even try to get hold of Tre until like February. Like I say, I loved Tre, but it wasn't enough to re-ignite my interest and it took the Brixton gig for me to really start paying attention again.

Z J Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I guess I don't have the nostalgia thing to deal with because I was really disinterested in Green Day when it came out. I missed the buildup entirely, I had too much going on at the time to pay any attention, then when it was too late I was like "...oh." They had always been one of my favorite bands, because of AI and Good Riddance (which I didn't even realize was a GD song for far too long). But I didn't like 21 Guns much and KYE was decent (at the time I thought it was) so I really hadn't listened to em at all. Then I started listening to their back catalog a bit during the summer of '12 and I would keep finding songs I liked and then I started watching documentaries (which, for me, is the ultimate sign I love a band ) and eventually it grew in to what it is now. But even with my passion for GD really growing right along with the trilogy releases, it was their back catalog that I was continuously impressed by the deeper I dug. Not the trilogy, which I really didn't enjoy save for a few songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
