I kind of love this song, so catchy! Definitely not the most genius Green Day lyrics, but still 😅 Nope, also love it. Okay so my favorites from that album are: Father of all Oh Yeah I Was a Teenage Teenager Junkies on High Take the Money and Crawl I like Graffitia too, but it feels too normal for this album... like I can perfectly imagine it being in Rev Rad, but in FOAM it feels kind of out of place 😅 I think I actually really like this album, but it's definitely not in the first 5 albums I'd use to introduce someone to Green Day... and now I have to listen to it 😁

You're right. But don't worry, i didn't mean "oh thats silly, you CANT do that" silly, just "oh that's kinda funny" silly But it is true. There's a lot of stuff to look at since i've only started so recently. I found it a bit overwhelming at first and just listened to whatever i found. If you're interested at all, it kinda went like this: "Oh hey, green day has a cool side project! I like side projects. Watch foxboro hottubs live, and "oh look, what's fuck time?" And that happens to be age restricted. Oh, it's on dos! I love nightlife. Oh, billie has a movie he stars in? I love the longshot and ordinary world now. Oh, look, they have another side project! I love the network." And be aware i listened to st jimmy a day before watching that movie too. It just didn't stick. The problem is that i had nothing to connect american idiot to. I love movies and side projects. But where's american idiot? On youtube. Like, just sitting on youtube on a hundred billion different not-really-special to watch green day concerts (unless you were there). I had nothing special to connect american idiot to, and that's what made listening to everything else fun. You could say "c&v!" But what am i connecting c&v to? It's populariy? Influence? I definitely wasn't born for the release either. But i was able to connect to other parts of green day just fine because they were parts of more media i was familiar with... It wasn't really that i was choosing anything but american idiot, it was that i would choose american idiot if it weren't for the lack of connection. There's a movie i watched that had holiday in it. If i watched it any earlier i'd love american idiot much faster. Anyways, i love dos. End of story. I'm enjoying n that's all that matters.

Your not silly. You GD journey started only recently. You have such a variety of records to choose from the band's vast discography which is cool. From studio albums, compilations, live albums, and many side projects. You get to decide which record to listen to next. Nothing can be more exciting. Enjoy.

i make a lot of gifs, lol.

Have y'all seen this pic before??

“We didn’t have stars in our eyes, we just wanted our records to get out there”: How Green Day’s Dookie captured the spirit of a generation https://www.kerrang.com/how-green-days-dookie-captured-the-spirit-of-a-generation

It was quite the look!

What i find a little silly is that i liked 1039/sosh, insomniac, 21cb, uno, dos, foxboro hottubs, the longshot, the network, revrad, and kerplunk, before even getting into american idiot in the slightest. like i listened to literally everything BUT american idiot until i heard st jimmy...

wip... i'm sending it here because he's bald and i have (somehow??) no good nimrod billie pictures for reference... so i can't draw his hair and all Someone send me a good nimrod billie boot barmstrong picture. I need it. Starving. I'm a starving artist.

ahhh hairspray billie you go to thebestjobever.bja and you can apply... cuz its the best job ever amirite

Where does one apply for that job? Asking for a friend 👀 anyway, here's some gifs that I have made

hi guys ... reviving thread for a day just so you can admire tiny jam joe jarmstrong i like this gif... "awww thats funny! OH MY GOD HES FALLING ON HIS ASS"

Thank you ❤️ it definitely went that way for me early on in my drawing stage but i found references get very useful at some point. Definitely try it out if you ever wanna do something a bit more complicated

ofc!! <33 real same!! i dont think ive used a ref once in my life TvT yeah, he is pretty hard to draw from memory for me, i should probs start using refs for him too XD lol your so lucky it took me ages to figure out how to draw hands XD

Mo worries about his hair. Look at his hands. My art teacher told me after the face, the human hand is so difficult to copy and get the proportion right. I could never master it. Especially I struggled with thumbs. However, your hand drawing is perfect. In proportion with each finger and thumb. I'm impressed, just a tad envious. lol.

Pretty much lol Just play Holiday five times. Dedicate it to a different person each time, and give a different person the floor each time around. The homophobic slur in there can be easily replaced with other slurs each time.

I loved that song and most of Father of All.

Love the bit in there about Billie Joe’s songwriting, couldn’t agree more, he’s brilliant.

I might have saved this photo for a rainy day heehee.

thanks so much, lol it definitely took me a while to accurately draw hands, but mysteriously i've always somewhat been okay at drawing them... so be envious, because i drew the hands here without a single inch of proper guidelines (which i usually actual fail at doing with more complex positions) i'm a big eyeballer when it comes to drawing. even the entire face was eyeballed...

thanks! the reference thing is real though... i never used to use refs at all!! but i have this weird problem with drawing billie so i need refs for him all the time

woah!! that looks sick!! i love how ya drew it, its gonna look so cool ^^ pictures? i suck at finding good ones cause i dont use refs for drawing TvT i probably should use them tho lmao im terrible at drawing from memory Xb but ill try and find one

I feel the same. On social media there is so much excitement about their performance and really high expectations. I hope the band doesn’t feel pressured too much. I hope they‘ll manage to have a great performance with a message!

I think im a little scared and excited for how green day will present themselves during the performance. It seems like there's going to be a bit (or maybe even a lot) of control involved in this and if that's so they're obviously going to find a way to put a message out in one way or another

Very likely, especially since the song can also be interpreted in a sports context. It's a perfect double entendre. Remember this promo from back in 2009?

I have no idea what an “MVP” is or whatever it is but depending on the set up GD may be there almost as background music, the focus may be more on the other people so it could be a difficult line for them. If they go off script it could look disrespectful but that hopefully won’t stop them playing at least one song with a clear message, or maybe a message in a t-shirt depending on how dance Billie decides to dress.

Today I woke up with the song Dream Catcher in my head!😊 It’s not that surprising, listened to it twice on YT yesterday before going to bed: First one is AI. I hate AI but in this case I can accept it. It’s such a beautiful song, I‘d die for an official release. I think I even dreamt about it. Isn’t it fitting, I had Dream Catcher in my dreams….

But isn’t the lead vocal the „dangerous“ part in a GD performance?😂 Yes, and he said something like „we mustn’t say“, probably because it wasn’t official at that moment.

This event seems so weird to me. It’s not for fans, and Spotify is not a good company. The people that are there probably won’t even have any appreciation of what they’re getting. I’m really surprised they’re doing this one.

I think i only tolerate i was a teenage teenager (as mentioned before) and sugar youth. I would say stab you in the heart too but i dont like the recycling

The cringy lyrics are actually why I kind of like it. Gotta embrace the cringe sometimes hahah. Other than that I really like Oh Yeah, Junkies On A High and Grafittia. Might not be their best but it's still a fun album.

i think my top 3 might be a bit basic but 1. Sugar Youth 2. Take The Money and Crawl 3. Graffitia also i really hope Super Bowl gets green day back on the announcement train, there really hasnt been that much to talk about since like, Warning 25 dropped outside of shows and whatnot

Likely. I knew someone who was invited to be on the field for a Super Bowl halftime show. They had very specific instructions about where to stand, when to move and what to do. If the Green Day show is being televised, I can't imagine the NFL wanting anything less than total control. And by total control, I mean total. They made Flea pre-record his parts and play unplugged for RHCP's halftime show because they didn't want any chance of anything being fucked up. Basically the only music actually being performed live at most Super Bowl performances is the drums and the lead vocal.

Honestly, a version I hadn't even thought of. But one that is most likely, I think. Fun article though.

I don't believe so. There was an interview for iHeart, and they asked about the Super Bowl invite only thing, but it seemed like Billie was going to talk about the super bowl performance. I think he tried to say it twice or so before he realized that they were asking about the party beforehand.

Everyone thinks the same. Can we all just take a short moment to enjoy the comment section of this video?

I really love Take the money and crawl! But some interesting lyrics here again…😂

Yeah, definitely! Now watch me enjoy the rest of father of all by next month 🥲

"I was a teenage teenager" has grown on me. Kill me
