Fuck you. Who plays 33 songs? Not to mention, some of those songs are seven and nine minutes long. Come on, man. Give me a break here." I love Mike so much Me too I also liked this answer: "This band has never mailed it in, to our detriment at times, too. There were times, I mean, Uno/Dos/Tré ... I don't know what people thought about them critically, but I listened to them the other night and they're fucking great. I don't care what anybody thinks. It's a lot to absorb at one time. But they are there for new Green Day fans to discover, or even old Green Day fans. Warning was looked at back in the day like, "What the hell are you doing?" It wasn't a success, but now it's the favorite record of so many Green Day fans." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I like that they admit the Trilogy wasn't necessarily the greatest, but I appreciate that they still like it because I was stoked about it when it released. And despite popular opinion, I love Uno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herewegoagain Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought that was a pretty nice interview! Love that they're so positive about the Trilogy and have pretty straight forward reasons for not playing any of the songs right now. Gives me hope for future shows, and I think it's admirable (perhaps mainly for Billie) to be able to look back at a something that came out of a less than perfect time of your life and still not feel in the least apologetic about it, even have pride in it. If that makes sense. And this is just beautiful: I have nothing to prove. I just want to follow the music. I love making records. I love playing live. That's it. There's nothing outside of that. I look forward to the weirdness that's in front of us every day (...) I don't really give a fuck about the mainstream. The mainstream doesn't offer me anything. Why would I offer it anything? I love the world I have. I love the sort of subculture that Green Day represents. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Green Day Is Not Too Thrilled About the Oakland Raiders Relocating to Las Vegas The members of Green Day are none too happy to be losing their home town football team, the Oakland Raiders, to Las Vegas. The group performed in Detroit on Monday night (March 27), just hours after National Football League owners approved the Raiders' decision to move to Sin City, where a new stadium is being built to house it. On stage at Joe Louis Arena, Billie Joe Armstrong told the crowd, "We come from the 'Detroit of California' -- only we no longer have a football team." Armstrong added a quick, "F--k Las Vegas!," complaining about "goddamn pumpkin pie hair" and other inaudible grumbles. He then promised the 13,000 fans that "I'm rooting for the (Detroit) Lions from now on!" Green Day hails from the Oakland side of the Bay Area, where the group got its start as part of the fertile Gilman Street scene during the late 80s and early 90s. The Raiders are scheduled to move to Las Vegas for the 2019 or 2020 season; The team had previously relocated to Los Angeles from 1982-1995. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7743379/green-day-oakland-raiders-relocating-las-vegas-reaction-detroit-show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 10 Best Hard Rock Albums of 1997 2. Green Day, 'Nimrod' Green Day were bursting at the seams with new material after the monster success of their 'Dookie' album. But with a rather gigantic track listing, there's some hits and some misses. Luckily, the hits were plenty as the Rob Cavallo-produced effort yielded such radio favorites as "Hitchin' a Ride," "Redundant," "Nice Guys Finish Last" and the inescapable ballad "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." The double-platinum 'Nimrod' also included such stellar deep cuts as "The Grouch," "King for a Day" and the instrumental "Last Ride In." http://loudwire.com/best-hard-rock-albums-1997/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
