AlissaGoesRAWR Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 As if Billie really cares if he's relevant anymore. Honestly, that's a pretty stupid opinion. >implying opinions can be stupid The only reason I tolerate Nightlife is because it is different and unique in the Trilogy. Otherwise, it's a sucky song and you shouldn't have based your username on it. Oh, wait, maybe they can be... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleasedToMeetMe Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I actually really like State of Shock - I don't know why, but I do. I do too. Great song, would have liked to hear a proper studio version of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoopy Doo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 State of Shock's alright, but I think it feels incomplete/unfinished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoopy Doo Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I mean I can see why it didn't make an album, from this recording of it. Though if it did, perhaps a finished version would sound better than the demo that was released, like with Oh Love and Ashley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshat Jain Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 State of Shock's alright, but I think it feels incomplete/unfinished. it happens, it happens, no problem with that, it is incomplete, y'know, cause it ends with """ Save your Last Goodbye"""... hence it proves to be a sort of INCOMPLETE song!!!..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if it did, perhaps a finished version would sound better than the demo that was released, like with Oh Love and Ashley. That's what I think. I like it a lot and I think there's something really interesting/unique for Green Day-sounding about it that I'm sure would be more prominent on a finished version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah I quite liked State of Shock. Very obviously not finished, and yet even in its not finished state, it's better than a fair amount of the Trilogy songs Also it contains one of my favourite lines from the whole era 'We all want to go to heaven but no-one wants to die'Which apparently wasn't even written by Billie, but there you go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 What does "singing out the alphabet" even mean? It must represent something since it was used in two songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 What does "singing out the alphabet" even mean? It must represent something since it was used in two songs. They probably just took the phrase from State of Shock and put it in a song that they decided to actually release, similar to the phrase "I'm not playing with your mind, unless you think I am" from Gabriella that was ultimately used in Amanda.

Bastard of 1969 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 "State of shock" is kind of a boring song, but it would fit good in Trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 "State of shock" is kind of a boring song, but it would fit good in Trilogy. It's because it's boring that it would fit in well on the Trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoopy Doo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Gabriella? I've been away for too long Gabriella was a song written for the Trilogy but never released. It was performed at a secret show but there's no recording of it. Gabriella: Full Lyrics: I'm not playing with your mindUnless you think I amYou're crushing my heartLike a battering ramGABRIELLA I need another fixDon't need an interventionI'm here to get my kicksAccomplishing your missionGABRIELLA You are a dog's best friendYou ain't no CinderellaYou are a thunderstormAnd I'm your umbrellaGABRIELLA I am the living endI am a dying breedI am a girl's best friendI am a diamond ringGABRIELLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I never realized how terrible those lyrics are... the umbrella/storm metaphor is the only one that's (barely) worth a shit, besides the line they ripped off for Amanda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, I have to agree with you. Sometimes I forget that 21stCB exists, but when I rediscover it, it's as much of an experience as ever. I dont think the Trilogy was really all that shabby at all...some people need to lighten up about it. I'm not going to credit the albums with having the best lyrical or instrumental content, but they still are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to credit the albums with having the best lyrical or instrumental content, but they still are great. I have always loved 21stCB. It has amazing songs, with touching, forceful lyrics. The production is outstanding and Billie's vocals were never better. And the Trilogy is seriously growing on me, even Dos. I find that when I go to listen to GD, I will go to the Trilogy more and more often. OK, I still skip Makeout Party, but that goes without saying. I even started to like Nightlife. I can't even think of the last time I listened to Dookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
