Bastard of 1969 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Half of the stuff on "Warning" is really underrated. Just because they switched from pop punk/punk rock/whatever to folk punk, it doesn't mean that has to be bad folk punk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JOE THE X-KID Posted January 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was listening to Nightlife last last night and, it's fucking awesome. Yep I said it, I've accepted it. I like Nightlife. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleasedToMeetMe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I dont think any of the songs on Warning could be described as Folk Punk, really. They took the sound of Nimrod and focused on making a more cohesive album rather than trying all kinds of things. The only thing folky about it is the acoustic guitar. Church on Sunday, Castaway, Fashion Victim, Waiting, Blood Sex and Booze, Deadbeat Holiday and Jackass could have pretty much been on any other Green Day album. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes some serious guts to admit that. I respect you for your courage in standing up for Nightlife, but at the same time Nightlife is awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a fun listen. Well in my opinion haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peppermint butler Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Warning is a better social/political album than 21st Century Breakdown. warning is the best album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songsforthedeaf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm proud to say the original version of Good Riddance (b-side to Brain Stew/Jaded) is far superior to the Nimrod version. The latter sounds cheesy and too upbeat for what it's trying to say (didn't Billie write it about a break-up or someshit?). It was a wise decision to not end the album with that track; Prosthetic Head, one of their best songs to this day, gets the job done perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This thread gives me such a headache Weighing in on Nightlife - I can enjoy it in small doses. The lyrics, combined with the overall melody/vocals, are pretty cool in that they accurately describe (what I can only assume to be) the sketchy shit that Beej got himself into in 2008 - 2012. Same with Makeout Party! I can't believe you guys prefer Wild One over Makeout Party I like both in their own ways, but still. What do you guys make of Ashley? I keep trying to figure out where she fits into the whole "people BJ has fucked in the last 27 years" timeline. It was also one of my first favorites from the trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect you for your courage in standing up for Nightlife, but at the same time Nightlife is awful. I don't know if it takes serious guts to admit to liking a Green Day song on a Green Day forum but if it does I don't believe it should What do you guys make of Ashley? I keep trying to figure out where she fits into the whole "people BJ has fucked in the last 27 years" timeline. It was also one of my first favorites from the trilogy. I assumed it's another one about Amanda (the girlfriend he was with while writing Dookie who went to Ecuador when they split up that tons of their songs are about, She, Good Riddance, Whatsername etc) but he'd just already used the name on another song . I guess it could've been inspired by any experience of a relationship like that though so not necessarily her/all her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, by your metric, he should go around with no pants, it would be so much easier! I'm sure he has had his, but occasionally he does zip it up! The song itself is on my list of ones that should not have been recorded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ashley is one I can stand, but I'll avoid if I can. Demolicious improves it, but it's still one of the three worst Trilogy songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I used to consider Ashley one of the worst but I appreciate it more now, it's a really catchy, bouncy tune and the lyrics "You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings/You dangled your desires right in front of my face/You led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink/Swallowing my pride I never even got the taste" are just great. The Demolicious version is especially good, it's dirty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Demolicious version is especially good, it's dirty. I just don't really like the darker, heavier sound on it (but I like Insomniac, so that's interesting), but that's less prominent on Demolicious.

JOE THE X-KID Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ashley is really good, the instrumentation unique (nice bass and guitar harmonies), Clever lyrics, overall a good song in my opinion. I like when Green Day do darker songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ashley is another example of where the dark/raw/heavy sound completely transforms a song. It's so much better on Demolicious. As is Baby Eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
