Christian's Inferno! Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ha Ha You're Dead isn't a B-side though. It's the only new track from Shenanigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second favourite son Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Gotta say Favorite Son, it beats most of their singles on my ranking of favourite Green Day songs. Too much too soon really isn't far behind at all though. I love the pace of Favorite son, it comes in fast from the beginning and flows beautifully, only letting up a little on the bridge. To me it seems like post-AI Green Day doing a pre-AI, faster and shorter song. It's got a good tune and a simple and heavy guitar part. Can't sit still when I'm listening to it. I wish they'd play it live, that would be a dream come true. Too much too soon is a definite second favourite; I'm a big fan of the tune and general arrangement of the song, and it also has personal meaning for me (especially in the AI musical context of the song). The bass sounds really good on it, maybe even the best AI-era bass part after holiday. Also, I love the 'FUCK YOU' bit (although I did once sing that on the train without thinking and got a disapproving look from an old lady). 27 minutes ago, unextraordinarygirl said: Desensitized and yeah I love the beginning where someone sounds like they are going crazy and totally loosing their mind. Great song. Wasn't Mike credited for doing that? I believe the instrument was a baseball bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your _Enemy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think I'll have to go with Haha You're Dead, closely followed by Hearts Collide. They're just so much fun and energetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudley dawson Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 J.A.R. is the best, easily, by a landslide. I was there in 1995 when it came out. It made me see Angus in the theater (really good movie though regardless!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'd have to say Suffocate, Desensitized, and JAR. reasons: they're great songs and also nostalgic for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emenius Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I think Desensitised, Suffocate and Rotting should've made it onto Nimrod in place of some of the weaker tracks on that album- all awesome songs. God, Nimrod was such a great era! Love the moment Mike's bass comes in on the second verse of Desensitised. However, my favorite b-side is probably Do Da Da. Simple but perfect. From the more recent b-sides I'd go for Hearts Collide (amazing vocal harmonies) or Favorite Son. Really don't get the love for Too Much Too Soon- too much generic pop punk for me (a bit like You Lied), although I do actually quite like the musical version.....

Shtrudel Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Scumbag is a great song. I also like the "Unmastered" version of 409 In Your Coffee Maker, if it counts. Honestly, the whole tracklist in Shenanigans is very solid and I like it as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac186 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yes, the beginning of Desensitized is Mike smashing things with a bat, that's why Mike is credited with a "baseball bat" inside the Nimrod cover. Desensitized was recorded during the Nimrod sessions. My favorite B-Side is "Lights Out". I don't know why. It seems like a mysterious song to me. For anyone that cares or is wondering, here are where all the B-Sides came from. This info comes from interviews and reading the individual credits for each song on the CDs they came on. I didn't include Maria, Poprocks, or Ha Ha...
