Albums that start with: Guitar: 6 Drums: 8 Vocals: 1 Longest Album: 21st Century Breakdown (1 Hour, 6 minutes) Shortest Album: Insomniac (33 Minutes) Album with most tracks: 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (19) Album with least tracks: Warning, Uno, Tre (12) Longest span between albums: American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown (5 years) Shortest span between albums: 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk (6 months) [i'm disqualifying the trilogy for this one.

EggMong Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Haha, that's interesting. Strange how Insomniac is exactly half the length of 21CB and I never would of thought to count which albums start with what instrument. Although isn't there three bonus songs on International Superhits (Maria, JAR, Poprocks & Coke)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Williams Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think you've got it backwards. The gap between Warning and American Idiot was 4 years, the gap between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown was 5 years. Warning (2000) American Idiot (2004) 21st Century Breakdown (2009) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterglasshalfempty Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I like this thread. It would be cool if someone found a reliable source for their total sales as well. Just so we could have a common place of reference for these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2D Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Green Day tuned their guitars by ear while recording Kerplunk, so the guitars are tuned in standard tuning just below Eb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Isn't this their shortest song? It's Billie Joe's solo contribution Short Music For Short People 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterglasshalfempty Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Green Day tuned their guitars by ear while recording Kerplunk, so the guitars are tuned in standard tuning just below Eb Was this the case with their previous records as well? I've noticed that some of the songs from 1039/smoothed out slappy hour is a bit "off". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musso_kn Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Rob Cavallo was the main producer on all albums but two major label albums. He was executive producer to Green Day on Warning and was replaced by Butch Vig of Garbage on 21st Century Breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Forgotten Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I had no idea how short Insomniac was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendepent Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well, I spread the word again: 1039/sosh is not an album, is a compilation. You should take 21stCB as their album with most tracks. And take the b-sides too. For The Ballad of Wilhem Fink, I know that is credited as Green Day in the album, but only BJ write/perform the song. Green Day, until 93, used to play in D tunning. They also record 1000 Hours and Slappy Ep with that tunning. Kerplunk is tuned by ear, and is something between Eb and D. Dookie and Insomniac are in Eb, Nimrod and the trilogy in E, Warning and 21stCB uses E and Eb. American Idiot songs are all in E, except Whatsername that is in Drop-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Another fact you can add is that Insomniac was going to be called 'Jesus Christ Supermarket'. Plus, American Idiot doesn't have a 5 year span if you consider Shenanigans and International Superhits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
