heart on a noose Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I was just listening and going through some trilogy songs and gosh I like the melody, the lyrics. It's shame imo that it didn't get a bit more attention or interest in general. Time and place was kinda wrong, but I really hope guys will play some tunes during tour and bring it back from shadow.

Nuclear Family was written on that paper when they were jamming. I wish for more Trilogy songs too. DRB needs to be played live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Judging by the RS article, it does seem like Billie has taken the criticism to heart. Interesting that he agrees that for some reason they did the opposite of that raw, loose sound that they wanted to achieve, also that he feels they were forcing out songs.

I interpreted that as him starting to say "If I was going to do it again, I'd probably do it differently" but then changing his thought. He makes it clear that he still likes the songs and that it was fun to make. As a huge trilogy fan, I'm relieved to see Nuclear Family on the rehearsal list.

That Dude Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Trilogy was awesome! However, Billie Joe has recently stated that they were forcing songs. I love them all, but here are my choices for what I think were forced tracks: Uno: Troublemaker Dos: See You Tonight, F(woo) Time, Make Out Party, Lady Cobra, Wow That's Loud Tre: A Little Boy Named Train, Amanda, Sex Drugs and Violence This is my idea of what the Trilogy would have looked like had it been a double album instead: 1. Nuclear Family 2. Stay the Night 3. Carpe Diem 4. Let Yourself Go 5. Kill the DJ 6. Walk Away 7. Ashley 8. Fell For you 9. Loss of Control 10. Lazy Bones 11. Angel Blue 12. Sweet 16 13. Rusty James 14. Oh Love 15. Amy 16. Stay Heart 17. Stop When the Red Lights Flash 18. Baby Eyes 19. Nightlife 20. Brutal Love 21. Missing You 22. Wild One 23. 8th Avenue Serenade 24. Drama Queen 25. X-Kid 26. Dirty Rotten Bastards 27. 99 Revolutions 28. The Forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thank god you were wrong. You removed some of the best songs from the albums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trilogy wouldn't have been any more successful with those 9 songs removed. If anything, it'd just piss people off considering those songs are actually some people's favourite. If you don't like certain songs on the trilogy, you can just make your own playlist with your favourites Edited August 14, 2016 by Second favourite son Please avoid quoting long lists 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stefano Bras Posted August 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2016 the trilogy is perfect as it is, a triple album. I love several songs and like most of the rest, for fuck's sake even Nightlife has a really enjoyable bass line I like. I think songs like Angel Blue, Carpe Diem, Lazy Bones, Ashley, 8th Avenue Serenade are okay but for some people, they are their favourites so I would never wanted the trilogy to be shorter. Btw.. Let's be honest here, guys. GDC is full of shit sometimes, I remember I joined this site when UNO was about to get released and when all the albums leaked everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) loved the trilogy, people were even saying that TRÉ was one of their best works yet, the hype for the trilogy was fucking insane and I don't really get why suddenly everyone started to hate on it. Hypocrites. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Boy Named Train and Sex Drugs And Violence probably weren't forced though seeing as how they were already demoed before the album sessions. Wow That's Loud and Lady Cobra seem a little forced to me, but Amanda doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrites. That's not being hypocrites, that's opinions changing over time. Everyone liked it (or tried to like it) when it came out due to the hype and excitement of new Green Day albums. Then after a while, once the newness went away, people realized it wasn't that great. Except for Tre, which is a good album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I enjoy the trilogy more than 1039, Kerplunk and Insomniac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoodleBob Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What confused me about the recent Rolling Stone interview is how Billie said that they almost got the point of forcing songs with the Trilogy. Didn't they claim it was the exact opposite when they were promoting it? If I remember correctly, they often said that it was a never-ending stream of inspiration that lead them to make and record all of those songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you're promoting albums, you probably wouldn't want to say that you're forcing some of the songs on your albums. But I think if they didn't think the trilogy albums were ready, they shouldn't have released them until they were ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's too much Tubish. I mean it would be good as another record by Foxboro Hot Tubs. I don't care if Dos is Green Day record or FHT records as I like FHT. If the record sounds like The Network I would care. I'm glad Money Money 2020 is not signed as Green Day record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
