I admire that he writes stuff like that and puts it out on records, it has to take a lot of courage imo. It does. That's what makes Wake Me Up When September Ends, Restless Heart Syndrome, Lazy Bones and Still Breathing so powerful. There's personality embedded in them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should rotate them more often during tour legs to give them all the exposure they deserve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End Of The World Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Guys, Trilogy supporters, it's so sad to see GD playing live 7 songs from AI and ZERO from Uno, Dos and Trè. They're always GD, yeah, but it's like you erase 4 years of your life... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear some trilogy songs, too, but at the same time I understand them. The great thing about GD live shows is that you can feel that the guys enjoy the songs they play. And if they just can't enjoy trilogy songs right now because they remind them of bad times or because they just don't feel right, it's better not to play them at all. I hope (and think!) that there will be the day when they make peace with the trilogy. Like Tré once said, time will be kind to those records... We should give them some time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They're not really playing 21CB songs either other than Know Your Enemy. I'd like to hear those songs to as that's my favourite album (Inb4 Seagull bashes 21CB). There are some songs on that album that practically never got played live like Restless Heart Syndrome or Horseshoes and Handgrenades (I believe they were only played live when they played the entire album of 21CB at the time of release) It's understandable that they're not playing trilogy songs atm. And not at all surprising how many songs they've played from AI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post straighttohell Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 I really feel like a lot of Revolution Radio sounds closer to the vibe of the Trilogy than it does to any other Green Day record. At least 75% of the Trilogy to me felt like Green Day embracing power pop, 50s and 60s pop, and garage rock n roll to the max, more so than any other record of theirs. Of course Green Day throws their own sort of spin on those styles, and of course Green Day has dabbled in those sounds in the past, but the Trilogy to me felt like the first time they whole heartedly embraced those styles of pop. IMO, Somewhere Now, Forever Now, Bouncing Off The Walls, Too Dumb To Die, Young Blood, all sound like 70s/80s power pop. Outlaws to me sounds like 50s/60s pop. But then I hear everyone comparing Rev Rad to AI and 21CB. I suppose everyone hears things differently, which isn't a bad thing. But IMO, Rev Rad is like a sibling to the Trilogy. Which isn't a bad thing to me at all. What do you guys think about all this? This might been talked about a shit load already, in which case, apologies... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more the politics (RR, TT, SG etc) and epic songs (Forever Now) that reminds them more of AI and 21CB, although the trilogy had its share of epic/political songs, mainly on Tré (99 Revolutions, DRB, Brutal Love etc). I think RevRad is a clear continuation of the trilogy although it could have easily been considered the successor of 21CB as well. The trilogy was more experimenting with the sound that would eventually make it onto RevRad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has elements of AI and 21st CB as well but that's mostly in the lyrics/themes and the epic quality some of the songs have. As far as the overall sound (and also some elements of the lyrics - both have a snappy one liner thing going on) it's very similar to the trilogy. I agree about it being like a sibling to it, you have the wild midlife crisis and then the sober aftermath thinking more clearly and looking out to wider issues, all in a natural progression in the same musical direction. I enjoy listening to the trilogy and then Rev Rad as a follow up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End Of The World Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Actually, I think we can see Revolution Radio as a combination of other GD works. Every previous album has its own influence on this new record. Said this, the thing that makes Revolution Radio unique is the overall feeling of the album. The atmosphere, the sensations I feel when I listen to it fully. I didn't care about that when I listened to the Trilogy. It was fun, but just that. Revolution Radio is like a piece of a puzzle: you can understand its meaning only by knowing the whole story. And this is the reason why I think about it as a "gift" to us fans. We know the story and we just need to complete the puzzle with the new piece. Just one of my strange thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevRad is a logical step in an evolutionary process that leaves the highly detailed concept records behind. The Trilogy was more an experiment than anything else, though some good songs (Stay the Night, Lazy Bones, Brutal Love, DRB) came out of it. RevRad is the road back from hell, a very personal record grounded in the reality of today. It'll be interesting to see how the 13th records will turn out. More political than RevRad I think, though we might see some surprises. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post St. Jonny Posted February 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2017 Was working out to Tre today. The wife came home early and we ended up slow dancing to The Forgotten and Brutal Love as the album replayed automatically on the DVD player. Was a beautiful moment as it is Valentine's Day and shit. This band is just something else. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepyRebel Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I believe the Trilogy records did great! I really liked the tracks and album design on the three. My top favorites are the Uno and Tre. Dos did good as well, but not as good as the other two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
