Chin for a Day Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I disagree that Billie didn't care about the promotion of the trilogy. It was his fault that he got in to the mess he was in but I don't think that he didn't care, he realised that he was in a bad place and got himself out of it. Surely having a poorly promoted trilogy was worth a healthy Billie I love Billie to death, but he didn't realize he was in a bad place until after he took handfuls of Xanax, handfuls of sleeping pills and drank his limited body weight in alcohol before going on stage for a nationally televised benefit concert. He was forced to realize. He was a walking disaster during the trilogy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rockstars may have refused and ended up killing themselves. I'm clutching at straws here I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 lyrics of 'money drugs and hoes' That's basically Makeout Party in a nutshell, and I say this as a Trilogy fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauli Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'd consider myself a Trilogy fan if Dos was excluded. In my mind's eye Dos has switched places with Stop, Drop and Roll as both are stylistically similar. I perceive SDR as a proper GD album and Dos as a side project album and I'm happy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks that Uno is the worst of the trilogy? Most of it is boring in comparison. I like Dos a lot, it just needed a little extra push to sound as good as an FHT album (tbh it does sound a bit like a half-assed FHT record, but I still enjoy it). Tre will always be my favorite anyway, since a majority of my favorite trilogy songs are from it, but I don't really get why people are so up in arms about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love songs like "Stray Heart" and "Makeout Party". Those two songs have some of Mike Dirnt's best bass work IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disappearing Boy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't think I ever said Billie didn't care, I said that he seemed not to care. Which is honestly just as bad. He was too busy being drunk/drugged up/a fucking weirdo to effectively promote the albums. His behavior was really the icing on the cake for the whole disaster. He's still a sweet, fluffy little rock star cupcake but damn, he was a train wreck during the Trilogy promotions, there's no denying it.I seem to remember thinking that the planned promotion before iheart was pretty good. But when rehab happened, they were never really gonna promote it. Guys stop it you're beginning to make me hate the trilogy :'(Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls we may have another convert here! Can anyone find the post by Zack from either this thread or the old one that explained how crap the trilogy was? Am I the only one who thinks that Uno is the worst of the trilogy?

In fact, it's the worst Green Day album full stop for me. Tied with Dos, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Nuclear Family, Kill the DJ and Oh Love, Uno is just so completely flat and same-sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Z J Posted December 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2014 Since the trilogy has come back around again, I'll say this: The trilogy failed to accomplish anything significant for Green Day's catalog. It aimed to be a stripped down anti-thesis of the AI/21CB era, but all it gave us was a miserably produced, mid-life crisis induced, bloated, mess. If they aimed to return to their pre-AI sensibilities, then one would expect their to be a few obvious characterstics that defined their pre-AI catalog: Mike-Billie harmonies Emphasis on rhythm (basslines, drums) Witty, introspective lyrics those are a few indisputable characteristics of their pre-AI work. The trilogy didn't hit on any of those things. The lyrics read like a child at times and a horny, sexually repressed 50 year old at others. The vocal filter took away Billie's snarl, the harmonies were non-existent, and Tre and Mike might as well have stayed home. I've been saying a version of this since it came out, but I figured I'd reiterate my opinion on it, for new trilogy sympathizers 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yeah, same. Apart from Nuclear Family, Kill the DJ and Oh Love, Uno is just so completely flat and same-sounding.Yeah, I'd switch Stay the Night for Oh Love, and add Let Yourself Go if I were being very generous! The second half of the album is boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I'd switch Stay the Night for Oh Love, and add Let Yourself Go if I were being very generous! The second half of the album is boring. Personally, "Loss of Control", "Angel Blue", and "Rusty James" were pleasant surprises for me. Some I would even consider to be the best on the album.

Z J Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Personally, "Loss of Control", "Angel Blue", and "Rusty James" were pleasant surprises for me. Some I would even consider to be the best on the album. Angel Blue has elements that make it promising, but the chorus falls flat (a problem that exists in much of the trilogy). I love the bridge a lot, and the demolicious version is definitely an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Personally, "Loss of Control", "Angel Blue", and "Rusty James" were pleasant surprises for me. Some I would even consider to be the best on the album. Loss of Control was the only real surprise for me, there was a really poor quality recording of what was known at the time as "Crushing Bastards" (Much better name imo), and I only listened to it a few times before Uno. All the other tracks had decent quality recordings that I listened to nonstop before the album came out. So that's partially why I enjoyed Loss of Control so much, it was the only one I wasn't sick of Currently, the only song from Uno that's lasted in my interests is Nuclear Family. That one I can still listen to and enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I loved the trilogy when it came out, and for up to 6 months afterwards. But I've really grown out of it.

Mayonaise Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well, what about Tré? I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion on it in this trilogy conversation. I always thought "Amanda" was a highly underrated song. One of the ones I'm surprised wasn't on Demolicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
