Iva Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 When I got into them in 1995, I thought nobody else liked them and that I am going to suffer for liking something nobody likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxymore Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 When I first saw the clips on TV and heard about their music on Youtube in 2008/2009, I thought they were 25 years-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iva Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I bet Longview was fun at that age. A guy I used to be friends with back in the days was playing it to his nephews who were 3-5 years old solely to laugh at how they sing about masturbation.

The Disappearing Boy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I used to think American Idiot was their first album, until I saw the bit on Bullet in a Bible where Billie says 'we've been a band now for the last 16 years', and I was like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo. Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Back in 2009 when KYE came out, I remember seeing the music video on tv (lol who watches music videos on tv anymore) and liking the song I heard it on the radio and I was jumping up and down listening to this song and I thought it was St Jimmy and not KYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimpshrine Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 When i first got into GD around 2004-05 i was watching vids and they were on TRL and they were kissing i thought they were GAY . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I thought that Dookie was their first album and couldn't understand the ponit on having a live album with only 7 songs (BBBPP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 For some reason, I thought the recording industry had rules specifying that a band's first album must be self-titled. And then I couldn't find an album that was just called Green Day. I also thought that, after listening to the Woodstock bootleg, Billie Joe's stage/singing voice and natural speaking voice were one and the same.

lucatotti Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I always thought I wouldn't hear Maria in good quality To all the guys saying Tré isnt the best drummer in the world: How good is he in relation? I was always wondering and recently found out how important a drummer for band is, knowing tre is a pretty good one but not the best, soo... ?

Pat1308 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I also thought that, after listening to the Woodstock bootleg, Billie Joe's stage/singing voice and natural speaking voice were one and the same. I thought the same thing. I was more surprised when I heard what Tre's voice really sounds like though. Another one: when high Billie does this random rant about pet rocks before She during Jaded in Chicago I wondered whether he still does that, considering that (going by bootlegs) he seemed to do that almost every dang time during the Dookie era. And then I learned that he's now 'hey ohs' and 'let's go fucking crazy.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Herroon Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I bet Longview was fun at that age. I really liked longview, basket case, chump and FOD. Not like I understood what any of them were about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clean Cut Asshole Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I thought Shenanigans was just another studio album, just like Todd. I was 10, and back then I thought the covers were originally theirs until my dad was all like "WTF are you talking about? Those were by the Ramones and The Kinks!" (he didn't listen to Fang ). Oh, I did think Dookie was their first album for like a month, then somebody (I don't remember who the fuck it was) told me about 1,039. Besides that, I can't think of anything.

Spike Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Oh, when I first got into them I downloaded a random selection of songs from a really sketchy mp3 site. There was an absolutely shit cover of When I Come Around that was labelled as Green Day, so I thought it was them, and I hated it. When I discovered the original a few months later I was confused, but it instantly became one of my favourite songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 i didnt have any real misconceptions tbh, as soon as i heard AI, i researched the band like crazy hearing their speaking voices freaked me out, though. i was like 'THE FUCK KINDA ACCENT IS THAT'.

In the pop-punk genre he's near the top. A lot of the high hat stuff he does no one else does. In the grand scale of things he's pretty low. He's not very creative and rarely shows off anything other than the occasional fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerplunk!!! Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I figured that since J.A.R was wrote by Mike it must of been him singing and he just had an almost identical voice to Billie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite subtle so I'm not sure exactly how to explain it. I guess it's just that he adds in a lot of beats on the high hats that most punk drummers don't bother with. It's the kind of thing drummers and music nerds jizz over, but it's not really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
