The Static Age is really under rated. It is catchy, upbeat with great lyrics.

The Lookouts' Larry Livermore Made Us a Mixtape Featuring Green Day, MC5, the Supremes, and More Green Day, "No One Knows" This is the best Green Day song that most people have never heard. I don't think they ever played it live (if they did, I wasn't there). I'm not sure what's better: Mike's hauntingly intricate bass intro, or 19-year-old Billie Joe Armstrong musing about mortality ("See my friends begin to age, a short countdown to their end"). This was from Kerplunk, Tré's first record with Green Day, and it marks the point at which they began to morph from garage and basement punks into one of the biggest bands in the world. http://www.spin.com/articles/the-lookouts-larry-livermore-mixtape-playlist-green-day-mc5-supremes/

Oh, the Demolicious version was a big improvement. To be honest, I think MP is one of the better songs on Dos, only due to instrumentation.

Personally, I find longview to be one of Green day's most overrated songs. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, and it has a great bassline, but I definitely wouldn't say it's one of their best tracks, I wouldn't even put it in the top 10. I'd much rather listen to a song like No pride, The grouch or Castaway over it. Also, I personally think Insomniac kick's Dookie's arse overall. Once again Dookie's a near perfect album, but Insomniac is a little more consistent, and has much more of a kick.

The thing is, Dylan's is better produced as well. What's great about the original, apart from the utter conviction in Dylan's vocals, is the fact that you can listen to the instruments as a unified whole or separately; you can pick out the piano, the organ, the lead guitar, the rhythm guitar and bass, and focus on each separately, which helps to generate multiple different listening experiences. In Green Day's version everything is just buried under a mountain of guitar; there's no nuance whatsoever.

No, it was sold like 1-2 years ago unfortunately ....

I think the opposite. In most cases Green Day's covers are way better than originals. the only ones I think are not as good as the originals are "Tired of Waiting For You" and "I Fought the Law"

Their cover of a quick one is far superior to the original. Working Class Hero is better as well

I listened to Like a Rolling Stone recently for the first time but I had to force myself to listen to it til the end... I don't know why I don't like it, I think maybe it's because it just doesn't fit their style at ALL...

Their Like A Rolling Stone is good taken on its own, but it misses everything that made the original brilliant.

It's probably the same article as this one http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/4799/

Billie Joe on the next issue of Kerrang!

Jeff Matika @jeffmatika · 59 min. 59 minut temu Five great rehearsals. Home tomorrow. Next week things get even more interesting. #gd

It says page not found.

i recently watched a dookie documentary on youtube and they said it was so popular at the time because it was so honest and for the first time someone would so openly sing about masturbation without being ashamed. and that the song was a reflection of how people felt at the time, but idk.

When I Come Around >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Longview Longview Video >>>>>>>>>>>>>> When I Come Around Video That is the difference for me

I think Brutal Love to X-Kid is one of the strongest 5 song runs they've done on any album. Shame it drops off in quality after that.

Nope, not all of them!

Heaven, I´m falling back into my fangirlscream mode...

This one? There is another similar one but I don't think I have it. Maybe ask in the picture request thread?

I knew Billie Joe had to be a member on this forum.

Weird that a B-sides compilation wouldn't flow that well hmm

iheartbabyjr 15 hours ago New poster. #greenday/ #riverdales 1995 tour. This was my first green day concert, at fair park colosseum in Dallas.

https://youtu.be/zi-9wpuu1yk Which clip in this of billie talking to a fan at the swimmers show the other night, the fan asks him when is the next album and he says he doesn't know but he has a few songs and he doesn't want to rush it

i listened to espionage on my walk to college this morning and it made me feel cool as fuck.

Well all their songs have some redeeming feature . Hmm....I was going to say I dislike everything about the American Idiot Musical album but I can't because I like that they tried something new and that it probably helped inspire such fabulous things as Brutal Love. But just in terms of the music I intensely dislike the American Idiot Musical album from start to finish, as well as all the (cringeworthy) times the band and cast performed songs on TV together, there

I don't think I have ever read a post where you don't like something - are you not well

Listening to Shenanigans cover to cover. Suffocate, Desensitized, Do Da Da, and Ha Ha You're Dead are some of the best pop punk songs around. Where pop punk goes wrong for me, Green Day aces. Which is without a doubt because most post-Dookie pop punk has had clear Green Day influence. Mainly in the vocal delivery but really all over the place. Billie Joe Armstrong's delivery is so often mimicked, this album makes it clear why. Not much in the way of vocal filters, just Billie and Billie-Mike harmonies. The way his voice runs down those vocal melodies in the above songs is signature Green Day. They wrap perfect little melodies around their words, without ever (that I can recall) using woah's or oh's to make it easier to write. A lot of modern pop punk bands can use those well, putting in cool runs once in a while with the oh's is fine. However many bands (Heyyyyyy Weezer) overdo it, and use it has a crutch. Plus Green Day's oft-overlooked harmonies (not by us, but by the music media), killer vocal melodies, tight rhythm section with melodic bass fills and flashy drum fills. All of that is signature Green Day. I can't believe these are fucking b-sides. It just shows how easily this comes to them. It's why I think we may get a bit more pop punk music if they release more stuff. I think the album could be a balance like Shenanigans, but they clearly just have this draw to it. This could be banal though, so I digress. And for my opinion I'll also throw out there that I think Desensitized is one of the top 3 or 4 pop punk songs Green Day has done. At least in terms of excelling at the common characteristics of pop punk.

I saw this one on you tube, this guy did Basket Case from 2014

I'll never forget the older guy with us in the pit in Pittsburgh who said it was his teenaged son's first concert. I asked him where his son was, since I didn't see anyone with him, and he replied "Oh, I put him up in the stands... he's not ready for this yet." He then proceeded to mosh and was basically a badass.
