Blasphemy & Genocide: Unpopular Green Day Opinions, Part 2

[Pat1308]

i really respect your opinion, but tre ends with forgotten paying tribute to all those great personalities whom, the world has really forgotten, remember, the starting with Brutal love, the end is justified.

I'm with you on Brutal Love at least, but The Forgotten...I appreciate (what I think is) the sentiment behind it, but good sentiments do not always good music make.

but good sentiments make some good souls

[The Disappearing Boy]

Brutal Love - one of the best songs they've written

The Forgotten - one of the worst they've written. I really can't stand it.

That's why it was on Twillight

[Sauli]

I sill maintain my opinion that it would be a good song if it had at least passable lyrics. It's melodically promising

It's still really bland and doesn't go anywhere musically though. It could reach the higher echelons of not bad but I think anything beyond that is an exaggeration.

[The Disappearing Boy]

It's just horribly boring. I mean, really boring.

[Hermione]

Boooo! I like The Forgotten music and lyrics wise and find it interesting. Love them going all out ballad with the violins and stuff, and the simple sentiment of the lyrics is a nice and positive way to conclude the "story" of the albums.

[Oxymore]

I liked the Forgotten until I heard it at the end of Twilight.

Idk, it just became weird to me

I dunno how anyone could like the lyrics of The Forgotten. What's it even about? It sounds like Billie watched every Disney movie ever and then used random pieces of dialogue to form a song.

For one, what exactly are "the Forgotten"? And how can one '[lose] faith to' or '[share] scars with our abandon'? Is that even proper English? Or it is 'our abandoned' all along? (I'm not saying Green Day in the past were grammar champs but still.)

That's actually how he wrote for the whole trilogy.

[Spike]

Am I going to have to share my in-depth lyrical analysis of it again?

Did Fuck Time come from watching the Disney porn parodies?

Nah, Jim'll Fix It.

Nah, Jim'll Fix It.

Would've thought the song would have sounded a lot different then. More like Showadywady.

Yeah not massively into those parts, although I don't think they're much less clear than some of the lyrics in 21 Guns (that being the main ballad of their previous album). I really like the chorus/ending lyrics though

Don’t look away from the arms of a moment

Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow

Don’t look away from the arms of a moment

Don’t look away from the arms of love

Just a nice simply put sentiment and nice conclusion to come to at the end of the albums, after everything that happened seizing the moment, looking forward and love are the things that matter.

I prefer to focus on the legs of yesterday tbh. Or occasionally the nipples of a week on Tuesday.

I feel your pain. I've had many high quality posts on here that have received little to no rep. We're clearly far too sophisticated for the plebs on here

[Steven Seagull]

Lol at people saying the forgotten is a bad song. Go listen to JOS if you want to hear a bad song
