Lets move on from that and stop the witch hunt. sorry bro, you got called out but we can move on now It's fine. I took a lot worse at school and so that was nothing by comparison. If you can take a punch square in the middle of the face and walk away with the sense their hand took the brunt of the force, you can take a load of humorous comments from people who disagree to the point of meme usage.

Steven Seagull Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Walk Away is such an underrated Green Day song.

The lyrics were written for Cigarettes and Valentines and it's one of the best tracks from the trilogy. It's in my top 20 favourite GD tracks.
GenXIdiot Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I think my favorite from the whole set is 8th Ave. Serenade. I just love the way that during the chorus, the melody that increases with intensity as the words rise in intensity, until he sings "Before all the flames burn out", where the melody gently falls back at the end of the phrase to match the 'burn out'. Really lovely word painting with the music. I love the way Billie Joe sings it, and the counterpoint with the melody of the interesting background harmonies. I think the words are just beautiful, just a really great love song for those who have loved and been married to the same person for a long time. It has Beatlesesque/ Nimrod vibe to it. Just wonderful. I would love to hear him sing this live.

PursuitOfEpicness Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I guess the disappointment with the trilogy comes from having the biggest expectations for them. I really agree with hating how it is produced, there is no "umph" in it. But we did get some awesome songs; Let Yourself Go, Stray Heart, DRB, Walk Away, 8th Ave, and so on. While i find a lot of it to be filler songs (especially Amanda, i can't really stand listening to that one, it does nothing for me) I guess i was happy to get these songs than none at all. I'll just assume they will be back and ready with the next album and it will be awesome because honestly it feels like the trilogy never happened. With the rehab, no promotion, the era was all a blur!

Shame more hasn't been heard of it. They should actually recorded a studio version of C&V.

Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Stay The Night should have been the lead single for Uno.
GenXIdiot Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Stay the Night would have been perfect, with Oh Love as the second one. I did love "Oh Love" every time it came on the radio, I think it's a great song, too. I really really hope to hear some of the Trilogy live when they tour!!! I'm dying to hear X-kid, 8th Ave Serenade and/or Lazy Bones. The three best songs on the whole set, IMO. DRB would be really cool, too. Let Yourself Go would be a great opener! If they do 99 Revolutions I'll die. Yuck. It's the only Green Day song I actively dislike.
Christian's Inferno! Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Idk why everyone hates Oh Love as lead single. To me, it seems the song most likely to be successful as a single

To me, it seems the song most likely to be successful as a single I agree. I've posted the numbers before, but Oh Love was actually doing very well as a single. It debuted at #1 and was maintaining that until iHeart happened. Then it dropped off the charts. There were extenuating circumstances
Harry Potter. Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I happened to be in the US for a few weeks when Oh Love dropped and it was actually very successful over there, they played it on the radio every few hours. I don't think it's a bad lead single choice at all, especially when compared with other songs from Uno.

Harry Potter. Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I don't get the hype. Stay the Night bores me.

Dakke Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 The main problem with the trilogy was the lack of promotion and visibility after iHeart (Warner is to blame here), questionable choice of singles and too many forgettable songs which drowned out the better tracks, something Dos! in particular suffered from. That said, Lazy Bones, Stay the Night, DRB, X-Kid, Walk Away, Brutal Love and the Forgotten are all great songs in their own right, which are alas completely unknown outside the hardcore fanbase.
