I like Christian's Inferno. Am I the only one?

I mean, it's not my favourite song but I don't really understand the hate

EDIT: Wrong thread oops lol

I like Christian's Inferno! In fact, the only 21CB songs I'm not fussed about is LNOE and, to some extent, 21 Guns (although the musical version gives me chills)

While Nimrod has a lot of really good songs on it, there are a lot of songs that are just average and could have been cut from the album (Jinx, Reject, Walking Alone, Take Back, Nice Guys Finish Last, All The Time).

Oooh that is unpopular :P Nice Guys Finish Last is one of the best on the album. Although I will admit that the middle section of Nimrod sort of merge into one somewhat for me. Doesn't mean I don't still adore the album and it's one of my favourites!

I think all of them are great, but I don't understand why people like JOS so much more than Homecoming. HC is great from start to finish, JoS is also good but the only part that I love is Dearly Beloved. FN is a great song from the new album and DRB is good too, although it wouldn't be my favourite from the trilogy. It's nice to have a 6 minute multi-part song in the trilogy though.

I agree about Homecoming being better than JOS. I just love when they get all experimental. It's hard to rank those songs though....I'd probably say HC > FN > DRB > JOS

It's so hard to rank the multi-part songs because they're all pretty different and it very much depends on what mood I'm in.  It also very much depends which part you look at.  One thing I can say for sure though, is FN = HC = JOS >>>>>>> DRB.

LNOE is by far my least favourite 21CB song.  There are days when I'm into it, but most of the time it just bores me to sleep, it drags on and on and is so musically and lyrically dull.  The only upside is that it's super easy on Green Day Rockband :P  It might even be my most skipped song of all time.

I like DRB :mad: Lyrically it's the weakest but I get a really good feeling listening to it anyway. It's in my top 5 trilogy songs for sure!

And yeah, LNOE is so dull (can you believe I just typed 'full' as a typo? lmao) so it's a skipper for me too. Not sure if it's my most skipped song....that might be WMUWSE. At least LNOE is relatively short.

Okay, so I just listened it to make sure we were talking about the same song (we were) and turns out I actually do like it, I've just been skipping it for so long that I forgot how good it actually was because I'd pre-decided it was dull before giving it a chance.  So yeah, I'll have to reverse my decision on that one.  I'd still say it's the worst of the 4, the intro and outro are too long and a lot of the part changes feel forced.  But it's probably only the worst by one >, rather than 7.  Also that bass solo in the middle is killer!

You tried to do a Forever Now style typo!  I like WMUWSE, though that could partly be because I've attached a fair bit of personal meaning to it, rather than just the song itself - I guess it is kinda repetitive.

:lol: love that shade you threw me :P 

It's hard to make a real decision because the only one I'm listening to regularly is FN, but is that because it's the best one or because RevRad is still new? And yes, DRB bass solo :cool:

I'd say: JOS>HC>FN>DRB.

HC>JOS>FN>DRB would also be possible, because tbh, I don't JOS is massively better than Homecoming and I would't mind them being swapped out at a show, but if I'd have to rate them, I'd give JOS the slight upper hand.

Now, just to be clear, I don't think FN should be replaced or got rid of this tour, because it fits very well as the show closer and it's a great song. But it yet has to stand the test of time and in my opinion as all time good songs, JOS and HC are just better than FN...

And I'd have to agree with @Second favourite son, though I have rated JOS, HC and FN, they are, as a collective, vastly better than DRB in my opinion (Although that song is one of my favourite songs from Tre).

I think Whatsername is overrated.

I don't see what's the big deal about it. It's okay just not that great.

I don't think I heard you properly, did you just say Whatsername is overrated?????  I used to like you.  :mad:

Seriously, I find it to be a beautifully simple song, but unbelievably powerful about reflection and maybe a bit of regret.  I think it is one of Billie's best vocal performances ever, he absolutely nails the sentiment of the song.  IMO one of the best songs he has ever written and performed. 

Lol I don't know, it does nothing for me, maybe I'm a cold hearted person :lol:

I agree that his voice is nice in it, but I only listen to the beginning then I get bored and end up skipping it. Probably have to do with it being so slow.

 

I still love you although you have Insomniac at the bottom of your list <3

The whole "Remember, whatever..." part of Whatsername is one of the most beautiful and epic sounding parts in a Green Day song (similarly to "How low is this brutal love..." or "Hallelujah I found my soul under the sofa pillows..."). Before that is nothing special but the climax is worth waiting for!

Whatsername is perfection. Lyrically, musically and vocally. I would die on the spot if they ever played it live at a show I'm going to. I think it's next to Still Breathing the most emotional GD song for me.

This made me laugh :P I kinda forgot that it's your username, although I know that it's your username

I don't hate it, you'll even find me singing it sometimes, but it's just a normal song to me. Still Breathing and Lazy Bones are more emotional in my opinion.

For me, the ending of Whatsername is definitely one of the most powerful moments in their whole discography. It gets me everytime I listen to it, don't want to imagine myself if I ever get to hear it live :lol:

Comparing anything from the trilogy to Whatsername should be an automatic permaban... :mad:

Especially Brutal Love! I think it's very overrated. :P (I feel like I've had this debate in this thread so many times, haha...)

That bit in Brutal Love is so perfect though! Without going into the rest of the song just when he sings that line it's one of those musical moments that's so right, all I'm saying.

A permaban for having an opinion, I think not...

However, I'd agree that AI (including Whatsername) is in a whole deifferent league, when compared to anything from the trilogy!

Unless you hate on AI and support Trump, that is :P

Did I just win the most unpopular opinion ever?! Seriously not one person agrees with me?! :lol:

You very well might :lol: I think it's estabilished that Whatsername is a fan favorite.
