Why is that a bad thing?

Not a bad thing but this conversation would move over there. My point was that closing this thread wouldn't end the Seagull show.

Did u know Drama Queen was originally on 21st CB? It was on early tracklistings and versions of the album played for journalists and they had to change it right at the last minute when they decided to replace it with Murder City. Could it be you like a 21st CB song? :P 

I didn't. Well it fits much better on Tre :P

"I wouldn't say I'm straight 'cause I'm bent out of shape" is the most badass line of the trilogy and one of my favourite GD lyrics, that whole part of the song including the solo before it is so cool! I know people like to dwell on one deliberately silly joke line but that's not all there is to the song :P. I love Troublemaker and Uno!

Yeah that whole verse in Troublemaker is pretty cool but other than that it is lyrically awful, and I don't just mean that 1 line. The chorus is just BJ repeating "Wanna be a troublemaker" which isn't catchy or memorable. I don't mind a chorus being repetitive as long as there's something else that's interesting going on like cool backing vocals or instruments doing something interesting etc. but there's nothing going on during the chorus. The whole of the 2nd verse is just bad "I like your BM-excellent tits with a tattoo of a pig sniffin' glue" is obviously the worst, but the whole verse makes no sense "I like your BMW", "You're living at the W". There's plenty of GD lyrics that I don't know what they mean and idk if I just don't understand them or if they're just meaningless. But with these lyrics it's clear that they just mean nothing

I think 21CB would be worse with Drama Queen. All of the songs on 21CB are miles better than Drama Queen (Yes, Seagull, they are better). It definitely fits Tré better, although I'd probably prefer it to not be on any album, it'd be ok if it was a B-side

I will agree that Troublemaker has some of Billie's worst lyrics but the song itself is super catchy. I don't find myself totally distracted by the lyrics when I listen to it and not all of them are bad, so I don't mind it.

These are the lyrics that make me say that:

I like your BMW / I like your BM-excellent tits / With a tattoo of a pig sniffing glue / You're living at the W

But I assume he's using things that are stereotypically desirable to men as metaphors for the girl being desirable. The W fits in with the New York theme going on. I'm not denying they're cringeworthy and OK, I don't get the pig sniffing glue :P But I sort of get what he was trying to say in general and the BM-excellent tits have given me a laugh.

I thought Uno was a pretty solid album with the exception of Trouble Maker and Loss of Control. The album had a mission to make simple, catchy songs and that's exactly what it accomplished. I also felt the quality of the record was consistent throughout. I didn't like Dos or Tre, though they had a couple of good songs in each.

I mean, he's just describing this silly situation of this "troublemaker" character seeing a girl at the traffic lights who has a BMW, attractive boobs, a crazy tattoo and lives at the W (a hotel chain) and flirting with her, with some silly word play thrown in. Not exactly meaningful, but it isn't trying to be, it's meant to be silly and is silly so I don't really know why everyone takes such issue with it. Overall I think it's a fun and catchy song and sounds cool musically.

I don't have a problem with the song. I quite enjoy it but it's one of the worse songs in the 21st century that they've written. What I have a problem with is Steven Seagull saying that Uno is the best thing they've done since Warning and I was just using this song as an example of why it's not

You must be really insecure to be so bothered about someone else's opinion.

1. I was just explaining why I was criticizing Troublemaker to Hermione

2. It's amazing that that's coming from you. If anybody even mentions American Idiot, 21CB or RevRad, you have to make your comment about how shit they are when A) Everyone already knows your opinion and B) Nobody gives a fuck about it

Well looks like you give a fuck unless you wouldn't be bitching about it :P You should check if we still have that ignore user feature.

That time when everyone on GDC kept posting

When someone was bitching :P

Well it's fine to explain why you don't think it's the best. But there's nothing wrong with thinking it is the best either. You can both talk about why you have that opinion but neither one is wrong or right, it's a matter of personal taste.

Of course the same applies with Rev Rad, no one needs to keep trying to convince other people not to like that either :P@Steven Seagull you don't need to start trying to wind people up just because they disagree with you about liking one album or disliking another, just everyone be civil to each other and don't make a discussion about Green Day albums personal please.

To be fair winding people up is the bulk of what he does it seems
