deleteduser7593 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I took a look to the 1st Green Day italian site (opened in 2002) I ever visited, back in 2004 with an old mobile phone. Thanks to waybackmachine I found a Billie Joe's interview about Shenanigans for Alternative Press. It's translated in italian (I am italian, Lol) but I'll reverse it back in english for ya. Hope you enjoy :-) ''We're putting out stuff we couldn't include in Dookie. There's a song from Nimrod' sessions, it's called 'Desensitized'. I always wanted to release it somewhere. I think it's a great song that should stay in a great album and we regret the fact we scrapped it for the record. You know, the problem is that we have tons of material... There are other songs included, like 'Sick', 'Rotting', 'Stuck With Me', 'On The Wagon Again' and a Kinks' cover, 'Tired of Waiting for You'. Also, 'Suffocate' and 'Outsider', a Ramones' cover. The Clash released a great b-sides compilation and it got big so I thought I could happen with Green Day, too. New album? I'm not thinking about it. I'm busy, stick in other stuff. I'm seriously thinking of goin' back to school!''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleteduser7593 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Actually, ''Desensitised'' was included as a bonus track for Nimrod japan releases so, it makes sense, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localinsomniac Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Interesting that he mentions Stuck With Me in the interview. I assume he was talking about Do Da Da. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It's really amazing that he went from "not thinking about it" in 2002 to releasing American Idiot in 2004. Also, I wish they had put some promotion behind Shenanigans. If it were an album, I'd rank it among one of my favorites. I'd probably put it somewhere around #5 in their discography - outdoing most of their studio albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Low key one of my favorite albums from GD. I've absolutely gone full circle and become a old-shit purist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
