Your lines they are a-changing. #^^**@@$$''''""";?

I was watching "How to Get Away With Murder" tonight and noticed a Pinhead Gunpowder poster.

Recieved the denmark Kill The DJ promo today which should make the Denmark promos in this PVC sleeve style complete.

My advice is don't feed the Jimrod

I misread that and imagined a kaiju type of a thing who is a combo of Certified Nimrod and NimJim...make that a CertifiedJimrod.

Certified NimMod. Good work.

Thank you for my new member title.

I love SDV, but only the Demolicious version! It packs so much punch, especially when compared to the flat version on Tré.

Are there not enough nice people at your nursing home?

It's always nice to have a nice person around

I'd like the forum so much better if it wasn't for you.

This is me lmao

Received this today !!!!!

Hi, this thread is for Random thoughts concerning Green Day. For other random thoughts, please use this thread. Also, if you can't find a thread for an artist you like, feel free to make one!

Nerd!!

That's some seriously skewed perception of age and life in general.

Bilheimer

In what world is 32 old?

He's too nice. He needs toughening up.

Well damn what did Adam do to you?

No, it's what he used to smash shit up in the intro.

Just Desensitized, but obviously it didn't make the album.

The article is confusing, but it is not Dave Grohl that is saying Green Day (and the Foo Fighters and Radiohead) should play Oasis songs, its Noel Gallagher. Noel is saying that they should play Oasis songs because it will make for a better show. I had to read it a few times to get that.

too lazy to do the tags anymore so here "I Wanna Be Billie Joe - Wat Tyler" Hilarious album. I used to know a local band that sounded just like it, so even though it sounds like garbage to most people, it's supposed to be dicking around.

OH MY GOD the pictures of Tré!!! I've never seen them before!!! They're so freakin' cute Alright, take all the time you need to scan them, it will totally worth the wait. Thanks again!!

MYSPACE, who use it now-a-days, it is like a small water drop in the middle of sahara desert.

Don't let Lukie know your age if you're in the low 30's you should be in a retirement home...

It's an unwritten rule around here, but most of us just ignore Dookie Lukie. It's hard to tell when he's being serious

You already hate me, so congrats, you've completed another step in becoming part of GDC!

Yes, I have missed out on quite a lot. I'm sure it will take me more than 3 active hours on a forum to understand its social structure. For the sake of discussion, I look forward to butting heads with you in the future.

:/

Received it today

To whomever commented on my last picture, thank you! I was lucky enough to meet him today too! This is crazy Here is my picture from yesterday!

I call them the Foxboro Hot Tubs Can't put my finger on why that is

So, I just found something - a collage-comic I made in May 1998. It's about Billie and me fighting monsters in Egypt, where we arrived at Boris Yeltsin's call for Albanian intellectuals. It makes sense.

Billie Joe yesterday in New York City with a fan

I think Nimrod is great as an album. The variety of different sounding songs pulling you in different directions is part of its charm, but I don't think it's totally incohesive. As well as the general "Green Day sound", there's a subtle kind of retro/surfy sound running through it that makes things feel connected, cemented particularly well by Last Ride In giving you a tongue in cheek relaxing surfy interval in the middle of the energetic twists and turns of the other songs. There's other little things about the structure that make the songs better as an album than individually as well, for example the contrast between Last Ride In and Jinx, Jinx and Haushinka running together almost like one song, the delightfulness of going from Take Back to King For A Day to Good Riddance, probably their three most different sounding/surprising songs so far at that point back to back, and the deliberate move of almost but not quite going for the obvious choice of making a slow ballad called Good Riddance the last song. Unlike Shenanigans which is a pretty much random collection of b-sides where I wouldn't particularly care what order they were in, Nimrod feels like a thoughtfully structured album to me, with the wide variety of the songs working as part of the structure.

If we're going to talk about repetition actually being good then hello Uptight. It's clearly one of their best songs and there's no denying that structure is just bizarre.

This is from the "Green Day Special Book" that was included with the March 2010 issue of Crossbeat.

I don't believe in God and I don't believe in Nimjim either so it makes perfect sense to me

I've taken to mentally categorizing albums by ideal time to listen to them (the things I do instead of actually focusing on my schoolwork...). For Green Day, here's what I got: Spring: 39/Smooth, Kerplunk, Uno Midsummer: Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod Late Summer/Autumn: Warning, Stop Drop and Roll, Dos Late Autumn/Winter: American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, Tre There really isn't ever an ideal time to listen to Dos, but I had to put it somewhere.

After I watch a ton of Green Day interviews,(i'm talking hours) y'know becomes part of my vocabulary for at least a week.

I was in a charity shop yesterday, and it was one of the most disappointing shops I've ever seen - two boxes of Kerplunk (the game, not the album), a big pink bunny, a game called Burnout, but no Green Day. What a letdown.

True, played down the phone I believe . They do have that dirty Christmas album they recorded while making American Idiot tucked away somewhere though, maybe there's some acoustic tracks on there haha. Speaking of albums Green Day should make, I still think they should make an album of Beatles covers. Billie's voice would sound so good singing Beatles songs and I will forever wish for this.
