I am a “New Green Day fan” at heart considering I became a big fan in 2009. American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are their greatest opuses. They set out to beat American Idiot with 21st, and I’ll say that there’s a good chunk of songs on it that do beat certain songs on American Idiot. I’ll usually lean towards American Idiot as being their best album, but if you ask me some days, I’ll say 21st Century Breakdown is better than American Idiot. Although it is too long, the first half of the album is untouchable. But that’s the Green Day conundrum. An album can be too long, but when you break it down song by song, you wouldn’t want to sacrifice any of it. That carried on into the trilogy era.

Insomniac

Suzie all the way

Very hard to choose, but I went with Dilemma. I love it when Green Day has heavier, darker guitars, I love how cleverly the song is written, I love how devastatingly honest its message is, and I love Billie’s delivery of “dead man walkING.” My heart dropped the first time I heard him sing like that, it’s incredibly emotional. Honorable mentions are Goodnight Adeline, Suzie Chapstick, and Living in the 20s.

Nimrod is my fav rn it'll be different tomorrow probs

They closed some of the shows with 86 back on the Insomniac tour. I know they closed the show in Melbourne in 1996 with it, they played with such intensity back then and it was an awesome way to finish. And to answer your question, I love the song. Dookie/Insomniac/Nimrod will always be my favourite GD era.

Like all of Insomniac, it shreds.

More underrated than any song that sounds like it thats for sure (minus Strange Days obviously)

Strange days . My dumbass thought it was a checkbox vote, where you can vote more than one item, so I was clicking multiple songs and I noticed It kept changing, and then I was like "I have to choose ONE."

I feel targeted......................................... one of my fav insomniac songs, its in my username lollll

We'll see lol. The video on the calendar they posted was for the PBC hilarious advertisement, but idk.

I love this performance of it

Love this song, from Insomniac, imho the perfect and awesome follow up to Dookie. When GD were '86'ed, or thrown out of Gilman Street, their home away from home, they momentarily wondered if the band and a major label was worth it, but quickly rebounded for this central attack of Insomniac. Billie Joe sets the scene at the door of Gilman, acknowledged in the bratty pre-chorus 'Stand aside and let the next one pass/Don't let the door kick you in the ass,' Billie Joe sings, playing the part of Gilman club owner Tim Yohannan. Though some questioned their punk credibility, most GD fans were enthusiastic about the group's music. It was just that their original fans were harsh. Yohannan took the brunt of GD's aural brutality. (Taken from Green Day on track, by William E. Spevack)

Good underrated song

Poor ole Antarticans get left out again.

GDA gets a mention, I think:

They have taken longer breaks before.😅 I will never forget the break between American Idiot and 21CBD. I'm not complaining. My bank account is a little upset but that happens now and then anyways. 😂

This is difficult because I love most of the songs very much. But I picked Saviors because I think that it doesn’t get enough love. I especially like the line „we’re the last of the rockers making a commotion“. Close up in my ranking are Fancy Sauce and Strange Days.

The one thing that hasn't changed with this band since day one is, that they just love to play. Whether to a 100 people or thousands. Any excuse to add additional dates to a tour. It's happening time and time again over 30+ years. And we're the lucky ones. Always greedy for more. Slow down a bit? Who are you kiddin'. 😜

I did expect that too, but it seems other commitments pushed it sooner. They are looking to play everywhere they can. I hope this run will be as good the 2017 one. I'm already anxious to see my international friends

Same! I thought these dates was going to be later. They did tour quite a lot last year too. Wonder if they'll slow it down a bit next year. 🤔

Me too! I kind of expected this leg of the tour to be during winter (summer for the folks in most of South America)

its my favorite green day song by far and i was interested to see what people think of it considering its pretty obscure

They have played a lot of shows this year. I was expecting them to take more of a break inbetween these shows and the European ones.

did someone mention my favorite green day song??
