  1. Today I was at the gym, wearing one of my many GD T-shirts. A guy at the gym asked me if I was a fan. Not sure how many people wear a T-shirt of a band they are not a fan of, but I politely said yes anyway. He tells me a story of when he was on vacation in Belize. He met a guy there and they became friendly. The guy told him that he used to be the drummer in the band Green Day but he quit before they became famous. He met John Kiffmeyer on vacation. I had to tell him that he didn't exactly quit.

  2. Every day, I realize more and more, why we are internet friends. I never knew anyone didn't think Macy's Day Parade was great.

  5. I remember when my brother was 13 and he had Dookie. I always hung out with him when he was listening to music. I kept staring at the cover being really intrigued by it. I was 3 at the time. Who knew that 20 years later that album would be one of my favorites. Then I remember my other brother asking for Dookie for Christmas back about 10 years ago and I wrapped it and I kept thinking I've seen this before. Dookie is the only album both my brothers and i have all gotten at different times and now I'm the only one who loves it.

  6. You could have been naked before and someone just gave you this shirt to cover your nudeness. I love "We´re coming home again" and "Novacaine". And I loooove "Viva la Gloria (Little Girl)". Still I wonder why Novacaine gets me again and again, I feel this song in my whole body. More than any other song. They should do "Puff, the Magic Dragon". Just for me. It´s been my alltime favourite for... don´t know... 30 years or more.

  8. Photographer Danny Clinch Reveals the Stories Behind His Most Iconic Photos Green Day, photographed in 1994 "This was taken in New Orleans -- I was shooting for Spin. Everywhere I turned in New Orleans, they had all these different cabs. Red cabs with big crowns painted on the side...it was just so different than New York City. I called the cab company, to see if we could shoot something in one of these really funky cabs, and of course it shows up and it's just like a New York cab. But it worked out. It was originally shot in black and white, and to see it in color -- with the bright orange taxi and all the different colored hair -- was pretty jarring for me." http://www.billboard.com/photos/6509678/danny-clinch-iconic-photographs-johnny-cash-beastie-boys-bjork-green-day-jay-z-phish?i=549538

  11. In speaking of warning, Blood, Sex, and Booze is easily my favorite when it comes to songs on that album. It just barely doesn't make it into my top 10 favorite Green Day songs. (I'd put it at 11 probably)

  12. Woah. Well, I suppose they do call this Unpopular Opinions for a reason. Castaway is one of the most fun songs they've ever done, Fashion Victim to me is good but nothing to make you really stand up.

  13. 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.

  14. Well, must be because he is getting older. To me in a very beautiful way.
