I think the studio recording with Billie and the cast of the musical is the best version... Jinx? Filler? Nope. Sorry, not sorry.

1 point for consistency -10 points for liking The Forgotten

Yeah, in the same way that Ted Bundy was a ~bit~ violent.

Spoiler alert: NimJim is DookieLukie.

We'd become the Norwegian Death Metal Community, of course.

Don't forget that huge ass heap of conjecture you've sprinkled on top.

Billie Joe and Joey play in the Matt Grocott and the Shrives new single The single was recorded by Josh on guitar and backing vocals, Matt Grocott on vocals and guitar, Joey Armstrong on drums and Billie Joe Armstrong on bass. On stage, the bass and drums are played by Tom Shelton and Joe Michelson respectively. http://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/what-s-on/arts-leisure/grantham-band-matt-grocott-and-the-shrives-to-release-free-single-1-6326915

Hm... musical voices often sound somewhat artificial to me and tend to exaggerate or weaken songs, and create too much drama. I find it especially annoying when they transform original, rather strong songs into wish-wash music...

Not slavery. Just forcing us to listen to his music

Yeah, "becoming."

I can imagine Tom becoming Dictator of the forum and forcing us into 1000 years of slavery.

Those two things do not actually quadrate with each others. For my feeling of dislike that I feel towards Dos is an opinion which needs no factual evidence, and besides I don't claim that it is an absolute fact. On the other hand, you keep on claiming how Green Day is envitably going to break up, and the way you express it makes it clear that you think it is a fact. And when you are questioned about the evidence thst support that point of view, you rarely give any adequate answer, instead you may just say "Y'all are just deceiving yourself. It can be very easily seen that surely are breaking up. You just don't wanna see it cos you don't want your favourite band to break up."

GDC inducing split personality disorder on me

Seriously if you take a look at the topic titles on the News forum, how many of those news are actually about Green Day as a band? Bilie acting in a film, Tre becoming a viking-convert, and so on. Besides, I would have no intention of leaving, since someone must keep on belabouring that painful song collection generally known as Dos. And also, more importantly, I'd like to think I have made too many great acquaintances here to be able to just leave. That said, there is not a single real proof that they actually are breaking up and these false rumours Nim Jim constantly spreads are getting very tiresome.

It's so great! I already loved it just from reading one line of it ("I always waste my time just wondering what the next man thinks of me/I'll never do exactly what I want and I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance") in a Green Day biography, before I had the internet and realized it would ever actually be possible to find/hear the album. Lived up to expectations when I did as well, it's probably my favourite of the 39/Smooth songs. Love all the aspects of it that have been mentioned and the song as a whole.

GDC is genuinely the best forum I've ever been on in terms of design and features.

The place would probably just revert back to Nickelback Community like it was before the Rapture.

We'd just spam all the time.

I feel bad for anyone that thinks Road to Acceptance is filler. It's just about impossible to justify. The song has an anti-racism, anti-prejudice theme, along with a sick bass line. And if the song was just filler, Green Day wouldn't have played it constantly up through their Insomniac tour. That's a song that they wanted people to hear. Same reason why they'd play Resolution by Fifteen during the bridge of Paper Lanterns. Not only to give a shoutout to their fellow east bay punk band, but to spread the anti-hate theme.

I'll make you surrender.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, Tomnomnom be openin' everybody's spoilers.

Kerplunk isn't my favorite Green Day album by any means, but how can you say only two or three songs are catchy? "Welcome to Paradise", "2000 LYA", "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield", "80", "One of My Lies"; even "Christie Road", which I've made known as being, IMO, overrated, is insanely catchy. Not to mention "Dominated Love Slave" is Tre's best song.

Wow, that's a laughably bad opinion.

Just saw an old interview from when UNO came out. Billie says this line: "And then there's songs like Nuclear Family where I'm just like, I just write this shit and I don't even know what it means sometimes." Sounds about right, Billie.

Yes, because talking to someone of the same gender online is gay flirting. We're not all like you. Go away.

Yeah? Well you live in a TREE OF WRONGNESS.

She was IN Cuatro playing ping pong with the band. Just because she doesn't mention them in every interview she does hardly means her love for them has abated. The girl is a die-hard for LYFE, yo.

Lemme guess, Financial Times and Daily Telegraph?

You don't come in here much, do you?

"I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted" pretty much sums up all I think is wrong with those lyrics. "I can’t quite put my finger on it But it’s like a child that was left behind" First he says he does not have a clue what it is, and then he uses a metaphor that only makes things even more confusing. "Like losing faith to our abandon" And what the heck this even means? Is it the same Abandon who causes those scars that they "share"? I appreciate good poetry and good allegories and metaphors when I see ones, but to me the Forgotten just feels like a bunch of metaphors and aforisms that may sound deep, but actually have nought substance. The chorus is lyrically decent, but to me it seems to be more like your usual "seize the day"-stuff and nothing special. Where in the world did my mind go, as our spirits walk on earth equivocal but examious these sonorous words I blurt Once I used to make some sense but then I bought a rhyming book now it all sounds so abstruse but to me it all seems off the hook Do I make a sagacious impression Like the first man on the moon Don't ask what that stands for Or you gonna look like a fool.

I always believed stone was meant to be a metaphor for someone cold and uncaring.

I don't listen to J.A.R. enough

And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass and the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last, you're in ruins this and Did you try to live on your own? When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone this from 21 Guns definitely tops Well, don’t look away from the arms of a bad dream Don’t look away, sometimes you’re better lost than to be seen Don’t look away from the arms of a moment Don’t look away from the arms of tomorrow Don’t look away from the arms of a moment Don’t look away from the arms of love 21 Guns definitely has a bit of that vagueness to it, so it's a valid comparison but I think 21 Guns has far better lyrics and a far better composition

It's a pity though. Back then when he wrote most of the best lyrics of his career he sang them in a way that was nearly impossible to understand, and now when his lyrics would often be better if nobody got them, he sings them clearly

Geez, the writer obviously knows nothing about this song or its subjects.

In the ladies toliets of a restaurant basket case was played, I had to stop my self laughing 'cause it's off dookie in a bathroom, maybe I'm the only one who finds that funny...
