green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Due to 21 Guns, I'm embarrassed to say I listen to 21CB. So that's why I don't really listen to it. I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Why be embarrassed? There's no shame in liking the popular singles. It's still a great song Because it's the song that all the emo kids and the musical cast kids like. Two groups in my school that i'd prefer to have nothing in common with I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post. That's fine. I think I might've contradicted myself there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you shouldn't let high school cliques interfere with you liking a song plus all those kids probably like all of the songs on AI too haha especially since the musical came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't even know what I'm supposed to take away from this post. That if one song isn't to one person's taste it makes another 17 songs shit, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightwad Hill Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It's been 5 years since the day Hot Topic's profitability went up with the merchandise sales being sold widely tying in with the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I only recently realized that "The Peacemaker" was a gun and I've been waiting for a moment when that'd be relevant to say but nothing's come up so this thread will have to do. It is? How so? *waits for NimrodJimrod to arrive and start slinging shit* Nah, I changed my mind about 21CB a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 21CBD and my kid are the same age! I remember buying the album and listening to it while she was in her tiny baby seat in the back of my car. Good times, great album <3 Nothing like banging to the sounds of Stop Drop and Roll, the lovemaking intensified by the excitement of the coming Green Day album.

green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It is? How so? "Now the caretaker's the undertaker so I'm gonna go out and get a peacemaker" "This Beretta of the night" It's about the war, supported by the mention of Gaza. Also "the infidels are gonna pay" switching things around. The line "vendetta, sweet vendetta" is most likely about 9/11 being used to justify everything.

Todd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So anyways, I care enough about the album to highlight the broad range of beautiful vocabulary and choice words and phrases of Billie Joe's creativity. Here are my favorite lines from this album The pillar of damage control (21cb) freedom to obey (21cb) I got the rejection letter in the mail and it was already ripped to shreds (Christian's Inferno) And it's non-denominational (EJN) I want to know who's allowed to breed All the dogs who never learned to read Missionary politicians (EJN) She will come in first for the end of western civilization (LotAG) Well everything that you employ was meant for me to destroy to the ground (Horseshoes & Handgrenades) Then I found the pavement to take the liars down But it's gone forever, but never too late (See the Light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Those are some good ones, but I think the fact that every other line is just "look how many opposites I can say!" takes away from it a lot. I like the album more for its orchestration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
