Anaïs. Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 DVD's don't look as nice as CD's and they are just clutter. That's subjective, though. I think that CDs are ugly as hell myself; they're way too small compared to vinyl sleeves, which is the way the artwork was originally meant to be seen for most older albums, and a lot of the time the casing just looks cheap (though the newer cardboard cases remedy that somewhat). Plus, I'm a massive books guy, and DVD cases are just closer to books in terms of dimensions. Quote
alexwetherell Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Does anyone know if Demolicious is being released in the UK? Quote
Spike Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Does anyone know if Demolicious is being released in the UK? Yeah it is, on CD, cassette and LP. Quote
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'd imagine owning a DVD would be a pretty similar experience. I'm ashamed to admit I laughed rather loudly at this. 1 Quote

I feel like I get more in a CD. Quote

DookieLukie Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 i know mike has in ear monitors but do tre and billie joe? Billie definitely has some ear piece. Pretty sure Tre does too. Quote
green day is Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 i know mike has in ear monitors but do tre and billie joe? There'd be literally no reason for them not to and it's standard practice for them to, so I'd say yes. It's possible there are some shows where they do and some where they don't but aside from the rare show in a bar or a tiny club it'd be very odd for them not to have some sort of feedback on their playing.

green day is Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 thanks i just saw a photo the other day i didnt see any in billie or tre There are some really inconspicuous ones out there. If it was a large show it was probably just well-hidden, if it was a small show he might not have needed one. Quote

localinsomniac Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Excellent point, the lyrics are my favorite part of owning a CD. American Idiots linear notes is a work of art in itself I mean, it's kind of a stretch comparing them that way. I don't envision too many kids sitting down with their hundred page script and a pair of headphones to memorize all of Ace Ventura's dialogue. The larger point was just that DVD packaging is sparse, bland and just generally lacking. What do they give you besides a printed menu of chapters and a lineup of the production company's other movies that they want you to buy? Quote

Yeah I wasn't really comparing CDs and DVDs I just love the linear notes in them. DVDs are cool with all the deleted scenes and shit like that though, I love watching movies with like commentary from the directors and actors cause you usually learn cool stuff 1 Quote
Todd Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 That's the one thing that sucks about pirated movies - no deleted scenes and stuff Quote
green day is Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 That's the one thing that sucks about pirated movies - no deleted scenes and stuff I've never pirated a movie that didn't have all the extras on it as well. Make sure they're DVD rips, loser. Quote
Todd Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I've never pirated a movie that didn't have all the extras on it as well. Make sure they're DVD rips, loser. If you just get avi or mp4, they're just the main feature. You'd have to get an iso to get the menus and extras Quote
Karl Karlson Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I'm clueless for years now, and never dared to ask, but I want to know if anyone can answer me these questions: (* = I know what the song is about, but now what the title means) Why is the song called "Paper Lanterns"? Is Pasalacqua a real place? If so, why pick Pasalacqua? What does the title "One for the Razorbacks" mean?* What does the title "Sassafras Roots" mean?* What does the title "Emenius Sleepus" mean?* What does the title "Armatage Shanks" mean?* What does the title "Deadbeat Holiday" mean?

Popular Post green day is Posted April 5, 2014 Popular Post Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Why is the song called "Paper Lanterns"? - Paper Lanterns are sometimes portrayed in and/or used to signify romantic situations. Is Pasalacqua a real place? If so, why pick Pasalacqua? - Yeah, it's a funeral home in Oakland or Berkeley. Has to do with the lyrics in the song referencing the future. What does the title "One for the Razorbacks" mean?* - "The Razorback" was a girl's nickname that Billie dated about whom the song is. The S was added by mistake. What does the title "Sassafras Roots" mean?* - Sassafras is a plant that used to be used to make Root Beer (might still be, if you get certain kinds). I think Billie explained that drinking root beer was just part of his idea of a stereotypical time-wasting day. What does the title "Emenius Sleepus" mean?* - Faux Latin for "Enemy Sleeps". What does the title "Armatage Shanks" mean?* - It's the name of a toilet company. Billie needed a name and he saw it on a toilet and just went with it. What does the title "Deadbeat Holiday" mean? - A deadbeat is a person who tries to avoid paying debts, typically used in the context of fathers who run off and skip out on child support. I'm pretty sure the song isn't about that, though, more about rent and sort of a sarcastically happy ode to not being able to pay it, what with the references to houses and vacancy in the lyrics.

Hermione Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Nicely done! Just want to add that the toilet company is actually called Armitage Shanks (it's written on nearly all public toilets here, he must've been over in the UK when he saw it), he spelled it wrong. Quote

Just want to add that the toilet company is actually called Armitage Shanks (it's written on nearly all public toilets here, he must've been over in the UK when he saw it), he spelled it wrong.He mentioned it on twitter, he was recording at the BBC, went to the toilet and noticed the brand.here and here 3 Quote

Wanted to add that The Razorbacks are the college sports team of Arkansas State University, and Billie dated a girl from Arkansas for a bit 1 Quote
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Paper Lanterns also float away, and it sort of fits with the theme of the song. 1 Quote
