No more Static Noise

Posted by Andres , 04 June 2013 · 574 views

I have decided to kill off Static Noise. Even though it's been months since we did a show, and it's been about a year since we did them weekly and regularly, I let the guys know that I have no plans to bring the show back. I also removed it from iTunes so we could stop paying the $20/month we paid to host it.
 
The show was a lot of fun. We had some...

Why Green Day shouldn't be playing more trilogy songs

Posted by Andres , 30 March 2013 · 1,028 views

I've been seeing a lot of people talking about Green Day's set list now that they're back on the road. There have been some complaints that they aren't playing more trilogy songs, which usually goes something like this 
 
Looks at the setlists for their two shows so far during the full tour, I see that they play about 27 songs each night. Out of...

My struggle with depression

Posted by Andres , 16 March 2013 · 609 views

Depression sucks, and it's a bitch to explain. I've struggled with varying levels of depression since 2005. While I've had my low points of actually feeling sad and helpless, I've also recovered from those to feel amazing highs like last year when I was able to lose 40 pounds from March - June in 2012. I was eating healthy (very...

I wish I could restart GDA and GDC

Posted by Andres , 20 February 2013 · 594 views

GDA is my full time job. I've been sucking at it lately. I feel guilty about it, but it's yet to change. When I visit GDA and GDC I feel like there's just so much stuff I want to change. I wish I could restart both sites from scratch. GDC feels bloated. I feel like we have too many subforums and the community is splintered because of it. I don't feel like...

In Defense of Green Day for Twilight

Posted by Andres , 04 October 2012 · 2,906 views

As soon as I got word about Green Day allowing a new song in the upcoming Twilight movie, I knew what to expect, fans bitching about it. Maybe rightfully so. But I thought I'd offer a different point of view for the sake of conversation.

Allowing songs in a movie doesn't really define...

So much to do, such little time

Posted by Andres , 02 October 2012 · 574 views

I fell into a nasty slump for much of last month which left me feeling uninspired and lazier than usual. I didn't do much work on GDA (or anywhere for that matter) and let a lot of stuff fall to the side. Then over the last 48 hours, super Andres (as Lone calls my exceptionally productive side) came out. I hit these peaks where things start making...

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

Posted by Andres , 24 September 2012 · 1,894 views

Yesterday's news about Billie Joe getting treatment for substance abuse has definitely hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. As someone said on GDA

But it hurts. It hurts really, really, bad

Billie Joe and Green Day...

Criticism towards Green Day's music

Posted by Andres , 20 September 2012 · 1,534 views

With the release of a new album there's lots of conversation about what Green Day's music should sound like. I've seen such a huge array of comments on the pro and con side about the new music. While I think the overwhelming opinion of the music is very positive, there has still been some criticism of it (as expected), and I felt like addressing...

My initial reaction to ¡Uno!

Posted by Andres , 18 September 2012 · 1,043 views

As many fans are aware, ¡Uno! leaked early yesterday (September 17, 2012) exactly one week prior to it's release. I was in class when we started getting emails, then work till 8pm, and I was running on 3 hours of sleep from the night before, so I came home and slept and it wasn't until around midnight I was finally able to lay in bed and...
