Beerjeezus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I used to have earphones that broke and somehow played music only version of anything I wanted to listen to. Then I lost them. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there's a thread in the Downloads section for most songs but I got most of mine from Youtube. You hear things you never heard before sometimes I'll actually choose the instrumental over the proper version. Jesus of Suburbia is pretty interesting to listen to, and both Viva La Glorias. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryjanewhatsername Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @The Insider recommended I put this here from the Random Green Day Thoughts Thread so here it is... What would you guys think of an album of all Mike with Billie being the backing vocals?? I think it would be interesting and pretty damn cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 Honestly, I don’t think Mike has voice for it. I love Mike and I love the Newtork album where he has a lot of vocals, particularly x-ray hamburger which is pretty much what you describe but while I love it, I don’t think he has enough variation to carry a whole album and that it would be boring to listen to. I think one of the attractions about the network is the novelty value and I think they know it. I would really love to hear more of their old harmonies again though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeJennsitized Posted February 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2019 I actually love Mike's voice, it's strong and clear, and he's never really sang anything other than high energy punchy songs so I don't really know how he'd fare on the quiet ones. I think he should feature more but just enough so we can still go 'omg Mike!!!' when he pops up I love his little line in Sex Drugs and Violence. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouty bitch Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I really like Mike's voice, and I'd really really love to hear him sing a song or two, but not the whole album. I'd miss Billie too much, his voice is like the main reason why I started listening to GD. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pretty much got that with the Network so we can imagine what that would be like. Mike solos are great for one song but it’s a bit of a novelty like how the Beatles would give Ringo a song to song on every album. It’s his harmonies I miss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing it to Ringo's Beatles songs is harsh But yeah as far as singing goes I enjoy Mike most as a back up singer doing harmonies with Billie, he's perfect at that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UNICORN VOMIT Posted March 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2019 If the trilogy was released with proper promotion and a world tour without the time delay of rehab it would not have copped so much flack - especially here. *listening to Kill the DJ now & its a banger😁 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the three back to back releases would have had declining sales though, just maybe each slightly higher. It was still too much material and wasn’t all of equal quality. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say not only was it not of equal quality between the three, but they were subpar in comparison to virtually every other Green Day album. In my opinion, the trilogy is weaker lyrically than all the other albums. Also, the song structure itself follows a basis of a few power chords with nearly the same lyrical "layout" for almost every single song. (verse, chorus, bridge, and solo structure) This isn't to say that the trilogy isn't wonderful in itself. I still like a lot of the music on the trilogy - but not nearly as much as I like the other albums. I'd say 3 albums in a year was possibly a bit too ambitious. This is just my opinion though, and not necessarily the best or most informed opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those times full of excitement. Oh love was a kind of a bummer in first place but the stuff was coming and it was getting a lot better. I mean, I enjoyed pretty much all the stuff they actually played live, because this band is always better live. Wild one still gives me chills. The sudden halt of promotion due BJ's rant killed the albums before the release of the first one, and it was a huge miss for the casual listeners and all the press. It's sad. I'd wish those shows at Fillmore would happened. Those would have been remembered even today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The trilogy had some variety, and some really good songs. I think they just tried to be everything all at once and didn't quite pull it off. I just like my distorted guitar too much, not a huge fan of the garage-type stuff, it was a bit too fluffy. Though Brutal Love is a masterpiece 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure if they made Nuclear Family or Let Yourself Go or Kill the DJ or any more high energy punky rocky song the first single and made Oh Love the third or fourth one, people'd like it more. People prob mostly prefer the more punky song to be a first single and the more slower one to be a later one. Like how Bang Bang was the first single and Still Breathing was later or AI was an earlier single than Boulevard or whatever, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people expect more upbeat punk songs from Green Day rather than slower songs, so defying expectations like that worked against Oh Love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was a bit disappointed with Oh Love and it's still not my fave but I think I'd have been even more disappointed if another song was the first single because in Oh Love the thin guitar/vocals thing actually kind of works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I don't think any of the other tracks on Uno would've done as well as a leading single tbh except maybe Let Yourself Go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
