Time for this thread to die. I was always a fan of Trilogy but I just finished my first listen of RevRad and now I can say screw that mess. "We all die in three's" is for you Trilogy.

Opens thread - sees seagull has posted - skips straight to next post.

Couldn't imagine listening to a rock album and complain about guitars sounding too loud

Please don't talk about the leaked songs!!! I want to be suprised on the 7th.

Ashley used to be one of my least favourite Trilogy songs, now it's one of my favourites. Funny that.

I still fucking love the trilogy to be quite honest. Uno - The best one. Loss Of Control, Fell For You and Angel Blue are the reasons I love this album. No word of a lie I jammed this whole album front to back on my guitar for months on end, still go back to it now. Dos - Makeout Party and Lady Cobra (song) are the real highlights for me, two absolute balls to the wall in your face rock n roll songs with some awesome riffing chucked in there, Billie sounds angry on this one, love it when he snarls in a song. Special mention to Lazy Bones too, it was obviously tough for Billie to write that song. Tre - My least favourite out of the three. Ironically it gave me my favourite song out of the entire trilogy in Missing You, I never play this front to back though, with the exception of Missing You, X-Kid, Sex, Drugs and Violence and LBNT it really doesn't do much for me. Never play this front to back anymore. Those four songs are fun as fuck to jam on guitar though. It's been a good ride trilogy, but now it's time for RevRad.

To me Rev Rad sounds like a standard Green Day album, while Uno Dos Tre sounded clearer. I like both

Hm I'm not so happy about the fact that people post about the leaked RevRad album everywhere now. Don't you have a subforum for that? I don't want to listen to the leak, I'm waiting for my copy on CD, so I think until October 7th I'm out of here. But I also have a random Green Day thought because I don't want to go off topic As I said, I won't listen to the leak, right now I'm just so happy and grateful for the three wonderful songs they gave us so far. Sometimes I think that I could just sit here - listening to the three songs (especially "Still Breathing"), knowing that my favourite band is hitting the road again and that they're happy and healthy - and that would be enough. I'm really, really happy about that and I'm unable to put into words how proud I am to be their fan. Prouder than ever before in my life. Have fun with the album and the shows in the next couple of days, I'll read you in October

I know it's "home that's for the restless" in Still Breathing but I keep hearing "home that's for the wrestlers"

It doesn't have to be a battle. You don't need to try and stop people posting their love for the trilogy in this thread, and hopefully @Steven Seagull knows he shouldn't try and stop people posting their love for RevRad in RevRad threads either

No One Knows is played on bass. I can see some similarity in the two, but they're also very different, at least to my ear.

Warning really is fantastic, there's not any single song I can point to that stands out on it because they're all brilliant in their own way.

Still an amazing track, even after 250 listens. This was a great choice for a 1st single.

11 mosh pits that made history 2. Green Day’s mud fight at Woodstock ‘94 At this famously messy show, audience members threw clumps of mud onstage, and they can be seen whizzing by singer Billie Joe Armstrong as he sings “When I Come Around.” http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/11_mosh_pits_that_made_history

Billie Joe and Green Day mentioned in this interview with Aaron Cometbus http://www.giantrobot.com/blogs/giant-robot-store-and-gr2-news/cometbus GR: I’d guess you’re plenty serviceable as a drummer judging by who you played with including Billy Joe and Blake S. Were you ever hellbent on becoming a player like Neil Peart? A: Nah. I’m not a musician, I’m a bandmate. I accompany people and we make something together. It’s a fun process, which often consists of realizing you can add the most by being heard the least. Besides, I play along to the vocals, or maybe even the lyrics. I don’t follow the bass. I’m not a very versatile player but I do have my own style, and I think it’s added sizzle to some songs. My real talent, though, is in arranging. GR: You were at the core of the music scene in the East Bay. Obviously Green Day was the shining commercial star. But from that era I dug Samiam, J-Church, Jawbreaker, Monsula, and tons from Lookout Records who toured through LA. Why did Green Day get there while the others didn’t? I figure you’re closer to this and might have an insight. Maybe it’s because I’m out of it, but I haven’t heard much about the East Bay music scene since. A: Green Day wrote catchy songs and had great voices. They stayed together and kept touring, which very few bands managed to do. Plus they had that special magic something almost from day one. At this point they’ve had 7 or 8 great albums, and who else but Dylan and the Beatles can I say that about? I admire them for keeping it going. Plus they brought me to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, which was super fun. As for newer Bay Area stuff, I’m a Songs for Moms fan. My era, however, was before everything you mentioned. The truly great East Bay stuff was happening in 1981-1985, and will remain obscure, which is fine. But during the supposed heyday I was very sad about what was already lost, and my lyrics definitely reflected that.

So I just watched the episode again and he said "Did you see the puss on Tre Cool?" @16:48
