Had a craving for 21cb tonight and listened to the album twice in a row

Crazy that it's so simple yet so stunning. Thanks for finding this.

I hate it when people don't give a motherfuck and run up in a nigga house and shoot my grandmother I really relate to these lyrics.

A definitive answer from the man himself! Should we call you Billie Joe or B.J.? Some people call me Billie, some call me Billie Joe - either is fine. But only my father-in-law calls me B.J. And he's the only one who's allowed to. From this interview: http://www.greendayauthority.com/articles/121/1/

Um, no???

Sassafras Roots is superior to every single off of Dookie. To make Dos suck even more?! Why?!

I can absolutely understand why he doesn't want to be called BJ

I have a horrible cold, including a fever the last couple of nights, and all the times I've woken up in a cold sweat during the night I've immediately thought of "I woke up in a pool of sweat, at first I thought that I pissed the bed" , which has made it slightly more bearable.

Wait, where are She and Pulling Teeth?

Lil Wayne also likes to rhyme about Billie "I smoke that Green Day, I’m on my Billie Joe I’m a dog bitch: B-I-N-G-O"

Sassafras Roots better than She or When I Come Around? Hell naww

Oh hell no

Queer As Punk: 11 Queer Icons Of Punk Rock 10. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day Armstrong and his pop-punk band Green Day hit the big time with 1994′s Dookie. The following year, in an interview with the Advocate, Armstrong came out as bi: “I think I’ve always been bisexual. I mean, it’s something that I’ve always been interested in. I think people are born bisexual, and it’s just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of ‘Oh, I can’t.’ They say it’s taboo. It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad, when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.” Below, listen to Green Day’s “Coming Clean” http://www.newnownext.com/10-queer-punks-you-should-know-oct-10/02/2015/?xrs=synd_facebook_logo

I like it! I always hoped for a Green Day rap song (ever since I heard Like A Rat Does Cheese - with the title and many of the lyrics quoted from classic gangsta rap songs - I knew the two things were compatible!) so it was a bit of a wish come true for me, and I think they pulled it off well with a good balance of rock and rap and Lady Cobra's seductive vocals and Billie's zombie like vocals going together nicely. Someone described it as "zombie punk rap", I think that's the perfect description. I'd really love them to collaborate with a properly well known/well respected rap artist next though. Lady Cobra raps but only as part of a strange experimental punk band so it's not quite the same thing, her vocals sound more like sultry talking and only just about qualify as rapping really, and although Nightlife does have a good rap beat to make it feel like more of a rap song as well, and is a great song, it'd be nice to see them go even further into the genre now that they've dipped their toes in it. Possibly unpopular!

Your references are far too obscure for me, I've barely even heard of Green Day

On the Lithium radio station, sometimes before they announce a GD song, they will flash 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee underneath. Then they will say a one-liner. The other day it was "From 924 Gilman to the Rock Hall, the punks have hit the big time.". Yesterday it was: "They helped shape an alternative generation." I know its silly, but I love hearing it.

And F(Woo) Time must be one of them

Too mainstream to be included.

Wonder if I can trace that in Illy and actually print it...hmmm.

It's going on and on I'm afraid and my family have it too which is just great since my sister's moving right now. But thanks, we'll be fine soon enough

Nimrod era also !

Yeah, I see what you mean, I just manage to avoid that by not listening to the radio (I used to, but the only decent station I found started playing the same few songs over and over again every day and got a really annoying host).

I don't have a problem listening to an album over and over again, because I want too. I actually work out every day to Awesome as Fuck, simply because I get a better work out. When I go on long car rides, its Bullet in A bible. But, if you hear GD on the radio, 8 times out of 10 its Basket CAse. They have 11 studio albums and countless hits, I think they can find another song to play from time to time.

Yeah, I still like it but just not as much as the others. It has grown on me over time, but it's still not quite as good for me. And Basket Case being overplayed doesn't really bother me - I once listened to Dookie every day for about a month and it was still just as great every time.

Are we demented or am I disturbed? The space thats in between insane and insecure

Yes, that was their security guy, I think he was Samoan

Just tried to come up with my favourite lyric - grr that's too hard.

The common theme

I was joking and I agree on 8th Ave serenade

Leave him alone. I got him to add F (woo) Time back in

Tell me the reason behind you keep adding 8th avenue serenade - it's so flat. Well billie sounds so flat.

I misread Beasties as Beatles and got all excited.

Holy crap I'm a ginger too.

Yes, it is !

Driving happily to work listening to JOS - pulled over $150 speeding fine - officer what was your reason for speeding - answer - no reason just singing - by the time he had taken my details given me a stern talking to JOS was still playing - such an epic song
