It’s funny too how they give a shout out to Jakob and his band and it’s like Joey and SWMRS never existed. They’ve been wiped from everyone’s memory 😂 But Jakob and Billie still have their praises sung so that’s a win. 1

Objectively, I think it's the best trilogy album but at the time I liked those rockin tunes from Dos just a bit more. It was an exciting time to be a Green Day fan, no long wait for the album and we were getting 3 of them! They were coming off a huge tour and 21CB was still massive for them. What happened with Billie Joe sucked and the production was somewhat of a letdown. It was over-compressed, it's a complaint I have with several albums recorded at that time. NOFX had an album around that time that also suffered from it. It wasn't their most cohesive records but I had 37 songs from a band I loved and a ton of time to digest it. All the songs were ones that were for me and me only. Not really something I could say about Green Day before that with their massive success. There was also just a big change in direction, Mike's playing became more prominent in their sound again, they became more open to shifting away from big studios and taking on more of the recording and engineering duties on their own, they shifted to a more power pop sound etc The trilogy and it's era was very mixed for me, as mixed as it's critical reception. Perhaps if it was just a reworked tracklist mostly based on Uno it would have been better received. The world just wasn't open to a rock trilogy at a time where it barely had an attention span to listen to 3 teasers on a SoundCloud account. 3 1

I fell in love with UNO instantly and it's still my favorite of the trilogy. I have such fond memories of this era because it's the first time I was active in the fan community. I joined Idiot Nation, I officially joined GDC around that time, bought tickets to my first Green Day concert, and started chatting with other fans. I was so happy. I still remember getting UNO at midnight because of my pre-order. I stayed up alllll night listening to it, trying to memorize every song. Of course, Billie's rehab stint brought the mood down. I was really sad and worried, but despite this this era of Green Day still has a lot of great memories for me. And it felt like such a redemptive moment when the 99 Revolutions toured opened up in my state and Billie was overcome with emotion because we waited for him and were just happy that he's back on stage where he belongs. Gah what a great time. I've been wanting to write about this for a while. Trying to get that in the works for a fun article. 10

It's a very standard Green Day album, nothing more but nothing less. It was a breath of fresh air after 2 rock operas with 5 years apart between them. It was good to have them back just 2 years after the big 2010 tour. 4
Insomniac90 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 It was kinda weird to see Billie Joe back then. You knew something‘s wrong before he went to rehab. they cancelled a show in Italy in 2012 because he went to the hospital for one day. And in Mönchengladbach during one song (I think Letterbomb) he just lay down for 2 minutes and screamed in his mic like something hurts 😕 3
Insomniac90 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 look at 3:35 ok, not really 2 min long. But he did it a few times during this show and you can see he seemed kinda….different
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Not sure if I remember correctly but this might have been around the same time as the cancelled show so it’s possible he wasn’t feeling very well. (Which applies even if it wasn’t around the same time as the cancelled show anyway)

I think it shows how dangerous the situation was for him especially his pain 2

It was clearly Maria, but it said Road to Acceptance. 😕 2 1
