Blasphemy & Genocide: Unpopular Green Day Opinions, Part 2

[Anaïs.]

St. Jimmy is the song that made me want to play guitar. Oddly enough, I haven't even tried to learn it.

It's the first rock song I learned for piano precisely because of what Ceadog just said.

Congratulations, you can also play Blitzkrieg Bop. And Welcome To Paradise if you play it backwards.

And God Save The Queen. Not the shit version.

[Spike]

Oh, and Church On Sunday.

[Guest]

Oh and that song by The Vaselines that Nirvana covered on the Unplugged album.

[Anaïs.]

Oh and basically half of all of Green Day's songs ever if you throw in a G chord every now and then.

You're getting a bit complex now.

You're getting a bit complex now.

I live on the edge.

[The Disappearing Boy]

A. D. E.

You can now play it.

Don't forget the 6-note solo. It's a damn complicated song.

[Spike]

I live on the edge.

I know.

[Anaïs.]

I know.

You, sir, win at everything.

[Certified Nimrod]

A. D. E.

You can now play it.

Thank you.

There's piano in that song?

Congratulations, you can also play Blitzkrieg Bop. And Welcome To Paradise if you play it backwards.

I can play both of them! Welcome to Paradise is actually a half-step down.

Don't forget the 6-note solo. It's a damn complicated song.

I know.

great googly moogly you didn't

[Anaïs.]

There's piano in that song?

Nope, I arranged the guitar chords and the vocal melody for piano.

Can you record it for me to hear?

[Anaïs.]

Can you record it for me to hear?

Sure, can do it tomorrow.

So apparently it's an unpopular opinion but I fucking love how fast they play St. Jimmy now. I've always loved really fast punk songs like that and I think it sounds awesome.

[Z J]

Not in the slightest. I dunno, I'm a sucker for melody and that one just doesn't appeal to me. It was my favourite song on AI when it first came out, but it wore thin faster than any other track on there.

I swear to god i could've written this post.

I love the ending of the song. The beginning isn't bad but it doesn't do much for me. Not worth the spot on the set list.

[Hermione]

I don't even know why they'd want to play St Jimmy. The ending is good but before that it's pretty weak.

Because Billie gets to run around the stage being his badass alter ego! He clearly loves and relishes playing that role. It's probably quite fun for all the band to play a song really fast too.

I prefer to i9

[Purple Haze]

I thought that Jason White being boring and average was the most popular opinion on GDC. I even started a GDC meme about it.

I don't think I've seen that meme

[Hermione]

I don't think I've seen that meme

There's a small handful of people who've been stating that opinion about him and making jokes based on it for the last few months on GDC, not sure it qualifies as a meme or even a real opinion in most cases.

[Hermione]

Jason White jokes are hilarious, okay.

Some of them are . Wouldn't call them a genuine indication of GDC's collective opinion of Jason White though.

[Spike]

We only joke about Jason White out of love. Not that he'd understand, being an android and all.

I listened to St. Jimmy from Irving Plaza and BIAB and WOAH. It sounds so much better slow. Plus, his voice is fab in BIAB.

I think Brain Stew is his best vocal on there. I'm in the minority in preferring is BIAB vocals to his AAF vocals.
