Spike Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I gues you overrate it since its in the middle of complete shit and is itself at least a bit better than average. Are you saying if you really love a song but it's on an album full of filler it makes the song less good? Because I have Stay The Night on my general Green Day playlist and it stands up to the highlights of every other album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauli Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well, then it all comes down to your personal preference. It is a solid song but I think it wouldn't be a highlight on any other album (bar 1039 SOSH). It would be an okayish album track and would make some albums better maybe, but wouldn't be a highlight. It is a solid pop song in my opinion, but not a great one. If you are able to appreciate it more, it is ok and I cannot argue with that since it is your personal preference But to me it sounds better when it cames after two shitty songs. But when it comes after their more solid songs or on its own, it is nothing special though still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Kong Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Lazy Bones, Nuclear Family and X-Kid are the only good songs out of the trilogy the rest is trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyGun Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 when i first heard the live version of stay the night (before the triology was a thing at all) i loved it, but the studio version never really did anything for me yes, the live version of stay the night was the best and powerful songof the trilogy before it was released along with nuclear family, when i watched for example shepherd's bush version of nuclear family, it was stunning but then the album version of both were a bit disappointing nevertheless, i love those songs along with rusty james, fell for you and sweet 16, awesome melodies and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 People like Lazy Bones don't they? Pretty sure it's a (if not the) favourite from Dos, with it's more serious and very relatable lyrics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat1308 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Okay, is there actually someone who actually likes Don't Leave Me? And Prosthetic Head. I don't know why, but that song's really not my cup of tea. Somebody shoot me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but that song's really not my cup of tea. Somebody shoot me. I like Dont leave me but the album version is, in my opinion, worse than the live one.

ifmemoryserves Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 And Prosthetic Head. I don't know why, but that song's really not my cup of tea. Somebody shoot me.i've always really liked prosthetic head. not sure why. i think i'm a sucker for the heavy bass and harsh contrast between the verses and chorus.

Anaïs. Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Idk I just listened to Quadrophenia and it was pretty good, but I like UNO DOS and TRE a lot more. And Prosthetic Head. I don't know why, but that song's really not my cup of tea. Somebody shoot me.You're back! I love it so much. Part of it is that it's the second-best closing song they've ever done, and part of it is, as said above, the contrast between verses and chorus. And it makes for an awesome singalong live.

Spike Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Prosthetic Head is a fantastic song on many levels. I don't listen to it enough, I really love it. But it's not actually anything special in a technical sense. I've never understood the comments people have made in the past about how it's different to anything else they've ever done. Er, no it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauli Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't get what is so specific about it. To me it sounds like a normal, though good, album track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Kong Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I Hope that the next album isn't a opera or has any kind of a story line, rather I would just prefer a studio live album. By this I mean all the songs recording in one take with minimal mixing. Assuming they do another studio album that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTim Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Demoliscious is probally the closet Green Day will ever have to a live in studio album...

I don't know why, but that song's really not my cup of tea. Somebody shoot me. I love both of them. Don't Leave Me's riff is so fucking fun to play. And Prosthetic Head is one of their most underrated songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just sounds like loose to me - I can't hear a a slurring sound - fell for you on the other hand sounds like he is singing with a mouthful of gum. The slurring sound at the start really annoys me. I think he actually did sing most of the trilogy with a mouthful of gum. Remember the bit in Cuatro where he and Lady Cobra are recording "Nightlife"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie's been talking a live album for the last 10 years now and every album seems he backs out on it the trilogy was set up to sound like it was live Maybe he's just trolled the shit out of us and Demolicious was what he was referring to all along. That said, given how Demolicious sounds, maybe he expected the finished Trilogy to sound something like the demos and that's why he made the comments he did at the time.
