Eric Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If Troubled Times was a little more detailed in the lyrics, I would say for sure. it feels like so much more could of been done with the song. Shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stories and songs Posted March 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2017 On 2/27/2017 at 3:16 PM, Jake69 said: That's all good if the lyrics of FN weren't mediocre. I mean, you talk about how JOS is describing how every has felt as a teenager, FN goes over board with the edginess. "I want a better way to die", I feel that's a line that should be written by a 16 year old. And the wanting to start a revolution and rebelling part of Green Day is so overdone now. It's at the point where it's annoying. It's really a big complaint I have with this album and this song. I don't think it feel personal, it feels forced I think Forever Now is intensely personal. Specifically that "I want a better way to die" line is filled with so much meaning, it's not angst. If you're doing something to yourself that could kill you and you realize you don't want to go out that way...that's not something a teenager could fathom. But I'm biased, I think Forever Now is the best multi-part song they've ever written. It flows, its coherent, and it feels deeply honest. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted March 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2017 The flow and coherence do it for me. I like that it's different from other long songs they have and I believe FN is a songwriting improvement. It's not a bunch of short songs thrown together but one piece of music. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I like the Somewhere Now part because it links FN with the song Somewhere Now- it's like FN is the thread that ties all of the songs on Rev Rad together. I also like the guitar riffs after I want a better way to die. And it doesn't feel like a song that's nearly 7 minutes long. Also Still Breathing and FN are a perfect pair at the end of the main part of the set- I'm so pleased they chose to play those songs together. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meliciraptor Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've really tried to get into Homecoming, but I just don't like it that much As for FN and JOS, I love them both equally. FN is more coherent than JOS, but JOS has these really raw emotions. I'm glad they play both songs live, those are my favorite parts of the show!

I like all of them, they are all good in their own ways, but FN is different and that's what makes it stand out. It also has great lyrics. "I want a better way to die" may sound emo, but if you read into it a bit more, it's actually very meaningful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I always looked at that as he was heading down a certain path, but now that he knows what the good life is, he doesn't want to end up where he was going. So essentially, a better way to die.

stories and songs Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Troubled Times sounds so fucking awesome live. But knowing how ridiculous these humans are, if they didn't like how the crowd received it or how it sounded, I doubt they'll play it again. And by "these humans" I actually just mean Billie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlappy Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Id rather the band take creative risks and produce a mixed bag like the Trilogy than play it safer like they did with Revolution Radio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day needed an album like RevRad this time around - I would have preferred an album full of BANG BANG type songs but its a good solid album. 21CB is still my go to album - I never get sick of listening to it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
