They have the tremolo guitar part on a backing track so he needs a click track to stay perfectly in time with it.

Wednesday was the 10th anniversary of the first time I saw Green Day. I feel so very old.

Yes, we do agree on this and Johnny Depp.

I thought Edward Scissorhands was pretty hot.

Agree. And that's an interesting coincidence. Know what would be fun? If we'd both write that out as blog posts. I haven't seen an on-topic blog post on here in ages. Just realised my 20th Green Day anniversary is in ten days.

I agree! Scattered is fucking amazing. Definitely one of their best tracks.

Joseph Armstrong @itsjarms · Jan 29 all my dogs are still alive.. idk where this info came from but they are alive. I promise.

Possibly, but I would still kiss him.

Liam explained it so much better...

Triple J's a radio station in Australia that generally plays music from independent bands, obscure bands, and pretty much anything that isn't "mainstream". Recently they had a Top 100 poll of songs from 2014 and a large company convinced everyone to vote for Taylor Swifts "Shake It Off". Triple J didn't look to kindly to this and eventually she was disqualified from the Top 100, which caused a bit of controversy.

OK so they think Taylor Swift and Green Day are not cool enough for them. I get it.

It's funny how that was my experience at 14 as well except the first Nimrod I found was an official copy at the flea market (but it was $0.25, had no case and couldn't play the last 5 tracks ) Green Day connects so many people, and usually fans have gone through similar situations in life. Even though this is a tiny example, it's still pretty cool.

One of the most sincere songs ever written. Ah, to be 14, to wait for pirate copies of Nimrod to appear at the local flea market, to play Jazz Jackrabbit and have a D in math.

It's not re-titled on the vinyl, that's the original title. It's retitled on the CD

Here's the answer that I posted in the thread about the vinyl: So that's why it's in the song title, don't know what the phrase actually means (if anything) though.

I especially like that last part. And Nimrod has Scattered. One of my all time favorites. And Redundant.

I actually think the lyrics are better on Warning, AI and 21CB, but it still has some great lyrics: "Where do we go from here and what did we do with the directions. Promise me no dead end streets and I promise we'll have the road"

Can I take a moment to appreciate Nimrod? I love that they progressed with this album and experimented with different sounds but still maintained that raw and gritty attitude in their tracks. It also has some of the best lyrics Billie's ever written. "Come together like a foot in a shoe, only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth." - one of my personal favorites.

I really love this guy but he's looking all Edward Scissorhands in that one.
