Blasphemy & Genocide: Unpopular Green Day Opinions, Part 2

[Libertine Angel]

Currently on a Green Day high and basically in love with every single song they've ever made. Including Nightlife, Amy, Drama Queen, and all of Dos.

Sue me.

Even Take Back?

[Maid Meringue]

Take Back is fakkin rad, c'mon.


[edit] how am i now just finding out that the phrase "cold cocked" has nothing to do with his dick? song ruined.

[Libertine Angel]

Take Back is fakkin rad, c'mon.

It's one of only two Green Day songs I try to pretend doesn't exist.

[Chin for a Day]

It's one of only two Green Day songs I try to pretend doesn't exist.

And the other one is..............

wait you're the one that doesn't like screamy vocals, right? Well, with some people it doesn't feel good to hear stuff like that

it's okay. I just think it's a silly song because it's like "awe looks how cute the Beej is, trying to sound all scary but failing"

But I mean 7 years later I like death metal so...maybe there's the influence

Yeah, I'm the one who doesn't like screamy vocals, so that explains it.

[Hermione]

It's not really screamy though, more an angry growl. I like it, he did it in his own style so instead of sounding scary/menacing he sounds like his usual snotty self just extra wound up. If he'd tried to sound like he was in a death metal band or something it would've been silly but the way he did it fits him and the song.

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

I always thought Take Back was a kind of toungue-in-cheek angry song rather than a serious attempt to sound like a death metal band.

[Maid Meringue]

I agree with Hermione - it's not like he hasn't used that snarl at other times. It's still cute.

He's always cute, but occasionally the songs are sucky. Take Back is one of the few.

Only n00bz don't like screaming.

[Sarcasm]

just hit play on Warning, it's still my favorite GD album by far.

the drums are just better on that one. just better.

[Z J]

the drums are just better on that one. just better.

Dookie drums>>Warning drums

[Akshat Jain]

Dookie drums>>Warning drums

ehh, there's no room to compare Dookie and Warning Drums, don't play the instrument, just play the song, and warning has all great songs.

When comparing drums to drums I will most definitely be listening for the drums in the songs.

[The Disappearing Boy]

AI drums>other drums

[UNICORN VOMIT]

No it's not. http://dui-california-arrest.com/dui-california/wet-reckless-california

Wow that's a new one - we certainly don't have that here.

[Pat1308]

I should say my opinion of Tre (the album, not the person) has improved over these last two months. To be honest/blunt I still think The Forgotten is a wasted potential (read: shitty), but I'm warming up to most of the other songs. 8th Avenue Serenade in particular.

Though I still prefer the demo version of 99 Revolutions. That was punchy; the final version on the other hand is a tad too 'tidy'.

Take Back is fakkin rad, c'mon.

If there were more people like you the world would be at peace.

I mean, I like Take Back. But then again, I also like Rest (though most everyone seems to loathe that), so I'm probably against the grain here.

AI drums>other drums

Nimrod is probably their most technical drumming album, actually

99 Revolutions on Demolicious is definitely much better. And I don't have anything against Rest, but it's near the bottom of my list of Green Day songs.

[The Disappearing Boy]

Only silly billys dislike Rest.

I'll listen out for that next time I listen to Nimrod. I'm just a huge AI fan boy. I like the drumming in Homecoming and Give Me Novacaine in particular, and even though it's not technical stuff, the drums just sound so punchy and cool. Great mixing/production.

Especially look out for it on Haushinka and Reject. Those songs are mental.
