They had that totally awesome lightning man design right there! And stuck it in the booklet and used the most boring photo ever for the cover. Madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted October 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2018 I kind of like the lowkey cover. It fits the music. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 They just look so sad on the cover. It always makes me think of how they weren't even sure of the future of the band around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The booklet is designed really well with a warning signs theme (the lightning man and other ones too) and then the cover (along with the rest of the photos from that shoot) is just totally irrelevant to that theme. It's true the shoot fits the style/sound of the songs but it just would've been much more striking if they went all in with the "warning" theme from the title/lyrics with the lightning man on the front. Could've been an iconic album cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouty bitch Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The Warning cover features Chubby Billie, so I can't really complain. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuteness or x rated sexiness depending on how you look at it (yes wrong thread ). It's always fun when Billie plays other instruments, like the drums, or the sax/kazoo battle was a highlight last time I saw them 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Because I have nothing else to do.... Christian's Inferno is a better song than Youngblood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno is a better song than Youngblood I agree, but I think they're both great songs that are hard to compare because they're extremely different (although I know they share being often hated on ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I like both, Youngblood was great live and I wish I’d seen Christian’s Inferno live, pretty sure they didn’t play it when I saw 21CB tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I don't really get why fans are so eager to see songs like Minnesota Girl and Olivia on a future album. Or why every new album theory and fake tracklist uses them I think Minnesota Girl is very overrated. I do love Olivia, but they have hundreds of other songs we don't know about that are probably more interesting (and more exciting because they're mysteries). I guess it's just knowing they exist that's so tempting. In that case though I'm more intrigued by songs like Wonderful that nearly ended up on 21st Century Breakdown because I haven't heard them at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they only played Christian's Inferno at the small shows before the main tour kicked off? I'd have loved to have seen it live too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it's because we have these songs that we know are good but the recordings are so bad they're virtually unlistenable. With the ones we haven't heard we can't even imagine them and don't know if they're good or not but with the badly recorded ones we're just so close to having some good tracks to listen to but can't have them. I also think people are particularly into Minnesota Girl because it's this special romantic song to Adrienne that's kind of mysterious (not properly released and usually only played in Minnesota), if it was actually just a song on an album it probably wouldn't be hyped so much. I would really like to hear that song Wonderful as well though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Also the one listed in Cuatro as Gabriela. Has anyone heard any bits of that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted December 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think they played Gabriella just once at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa back in August 2011. I remember people describing Gabriella as fast and angry. There was speculation at the time it might have become Amanda because some lyrics were reused: I’m not playing with your mind Unless you think I am You’re crushing my heart Like a battering ram Gabriella I need another fix Don’t need an intervention I’m here to get my kicks Accomplishing your mission Gabriella Don’t shoot the pharmacist We got chemistry It would be a risk If there was honesty You are a dog’s best friend You ain’t no Cinderella You are a thunderstorm I’ll be your umbrella I am the living end I am a dying breed I am a girl’s best friend I am a diamond ring 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was played at some of the secret shows in 2011 and eventually ended up cut into pieces that were used in other songs. We saw some handwritten lyrics from it that were published in a different song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted December 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2018 I remember this quote about "Wonderful" from the New York Times. It does sound good and I'd love to hear it: "The day after the election, Mr. Armstrong wrote a new song called “Wonderful,” Mr. Vig said. “It was super poppy, sunny, Beach Boys but with fuzzy pop chords,” he said. “It was great. Hundreds of bands would kill to have this song on the record.” Mr. Armstrong, he said, vetoed it, deciding it wouldn’t fit with the rest of the album. “He said, ‘I just had to write it,’ ” Mr. Vig recalled."

WhiteTim Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I know Todd says it’s a real song but I still have doubts on Wonderful being a song Butch Vig the only source I’ve seen for it and Butch has a history of remembering songs that don’t exist (he has mentioned a song from Nevermind where Dave and Krist were like the fuck you talking about and a song from Smashing Pumpkins and Billy says he doesn’t know the song Butch was talking about and Billy doesn’t forget his songs for nada) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound weird, but I love that Billie writes embarrassing and cringy songs. Not that I necessarily find them myself cringy, even though I see where this feeling comes from in Youngblood for instance, but for some reason I like that some of their songs can have this reputation. They don't give a shit and keep playing them. I wish they continue to play more embarrassing and cringy songs live, with the same passion they played Youngblood throughout the Rev Rad tour . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%! There's just something impressive to me that Billie will write lyrics that could be seen as sappy or cheesy or silly or embarrassing but he doesn't give a shit and sings it anyway. Like he'll write a line that could be considered cliched and be fully aware of that, but because it's what expresses his feelings best he doesn't hesitate to still go ahead and write it. It's part of an honest way of writing and shows humility and integrity that he isn't all too concerned with sounding "cool" all the time and puts expressing himself in a heartfelt way and/or having fun first. Right from the first album it's that way. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
