I love that you said that! The trilogy is 100% underrated and needs more love

I still remember hearing Bang Bang for the first time, after everything that happened with the trilogy it just felt so good. Even on my crappy tinny phone speaker at work, it sounded amazing. Though I still think the trilogy is underrated.

...i plead the fifth...

“one of”?

The way he described it I think it stopped being a 5 Seconds of Summer song shortly after he sat down to start writing it lol. He said he was writing it and was like hang on these are really personal lyrics and I don't want to write this for someone else, and called and said sorry I'm not writing you a song. So it was pretty much fully written as his own song really

yyayayay hehe. Thanks for letting me know it is back !! Also, I love how we all say floof and everyone is totally serious about it. Not fluff. floof.

Yeah, that video is from the Colombia show. In the Peru and Chile show he had the floof back, even if shorter

have a sticker with that logo on it. I got the sticker in the dookie 30th anniversy cd box set, so maybe from Kerplunk to Dookie era ?

it better come back. dumb rain 😠

This is really great!! Amazing job i love it Great vocals, and that guitar is awesome. I hear those thunder sound, too, hehe

hahhahah it sure does haha. I started out on acoustic, so power chords were really painful. Seriously, every song ever has power chords of some sort. Glad we are on the same page

Well... As more you can choose is better ... I LOVE having raw and polish record of welcome to paradise or Christie Road to choose... I think Green Day has exelent tracks from their first two albums that deserves a better sound version

I thought about trying to get tickets for TIFF but I thought about it too long! Oh well.

Does anyone know anything about the September 7th screening in Toronto? Is it a real thing? Is anyone going?

does anyone has this green day logo? its like if it was an alt logo for kerplunk era

Not gone I’m sure, just due to rain I think.

It will be streamed on Globoplay (brazilian streaming platform). I'm not sure if it'll be available only for those who pay or if it'll aavailable for those with free subscriptions as well.

Ballyhoo would be extremely cool! That song is just awesome, could have fit well on the actual album.

hope you get better soon too

Bang Bang is definitely not safe just based on the fact it is from the POV of a mass shooter. That single might be the ballsiest lead single they ever put out there with AI or Geek Stink Breath. That song is also straight fire and has an Insomniac vibe to it. They music video I think was a bit of a let down and played it safe considering they lyrics/context. Still Breathing also is very personal from the POV of Billie’s struggles and lyrically I don’t think plays it safe that’s one of his most honest compositions. Forever now and somewhere now are also pretty honest “My name is Billie and I’m freaking out”. Sound wise maybe parts of the album play it safe but great lyrics. Every album Billie seems to have a deep personal song like Dilemma pretty much all of AI and 21st. Brutal Love and Lazy Bones, Macys Day Parade, 86, No Pride, he’s not afraid to put his heart out there.

In 95 they were touring and MTV streamed a live version of them playing Stuck with Me from Stockholm I think? It had the “spit cam” lol. I suppose they could do the same. I love how on all their MTV VMA performances they don’t always play the “hit single” like when they played Armarage Shanks in 94 instead of Basket Case/Longview/When I Come Around. And Stuck With Me instead of a Dookie track or BrainStew or Geek Stink Breath. They did play Blvd. But that song was EVERYWHERE. After that though East Jesus Nowhere instead of Know Your Enemy or 21 Guns. Then instead of Oh Love they played Let Yourself Go. So if they were to stream a song maybe they’d play an album track/non single or maybe a single but not on of their biggest. Ballyhoo would be cool.

So we think Green Day would re-record songs like at the library or one for the razorbacks? They could or 80 any really but part of me likes the raw sound of those records idk if they would. I kind of think the rawness of the production is a key selling point of those songs. It would be cool to have them updated but part of me wishes they don’t tinker with them.

Learning power chords was one of the greatest days of my guitar playing career 🤣 it just unlocks so much

That was one of the first songs I learned power chords to a few years ago, heh. One of my fav's, too
