St. Jonny Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Dumbest thing ever! Bands try to NOT create the same album twice. An amazing album is not easy to make, especially something like Dookie or AI, and RevRad only suffers a bad rap because it doesn't live up to some people's ridiculous standards or what they expected the band to give them. AI 2? Who really wants that, it is never coming. Enjoy the quality album they gave us for what it is and you'll be much better off. There's some great stuff on RevRad and most of it is fun as hell to play! The idea of this thread makes no sense in the end, I see what he was trying to say, but, no. RevRad has some great material and the idea is never to recreate an already existing legendary album. Sure, I'd love if they were a little more pissed off on the album, or had as much to say as on others but it feels this time around, it was all just rocking fun from the heart. If you don't agree that's cool, but you might be waiting for all of eternity for your "quality album" to finally arrive.

Would you really want them to be on the third or fourth version of Dookie? Oh how they would love that shit
WhiteTim Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I know I'm in the minority in this but I wouldn't want a Dookie part 2 (only also cause Dookie isn't my favorite by them and before someone comes in and says I must be a 2004 fan nope got into them Spring/Summer 1994 funnily enough in 04 I didn't like AI took me years to like the complete album) I liked RevRad with the exception of maybe 2 songs (Bouncing Off The Wall and Too Dumb To Die which aren't bad songs just don't care to listen to them separately)
Fuzz Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I am curious as to why the OP suggested that they only do well when they have nothing to lose. What do you think they were worried about losing with Revolution Radio? I don't think that's been a real concern of Green Day's since the late 90s. They don't have to worry about their credibility nor do they have to worry about what people think of them to a great extent because they've been doing this for 30 years. I still think Revolution Radio is a pretty good album. It's a shame it it hasn't taken off like I really hoped it would, but commercial success doesn't determine whether or not it's good.
bouncingoffthewallbja Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 It's true to say that they are by no means as popular as they were back in the AI days, but for me, RevRad is quintessentially Green Day. All that was needed for RevRad was the band's raging desire to be playing music again. Not booze, not sky-high expectations, just the fact that they wanted to be playing shows and make music, and be happy doing it. For me, their popularity is irrelevant as long as they're still producing songs, and that they're content and having fun doing it! When we know that they are giving everything they have to make kick-ass music, we can rest assured that popularity isn't at the forefront of their minds - just playing together is what's important to them, and I think that comes across in the final product

End Of The World Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I don't want another Dookie. I don't want another American Idiot. They are always mentioned because they are unique. If we'd get another album like these, they wouldn't be unique anymore and GD would lose credibility. RevRad is so good and quality will never be a problem for GD.
PleasedToMeetMe Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I hate to say it but this entire subject is just stupid. RevRad is a great album, it has done extremely well commercially for an album of rock songs in 2016. Theyre on the radio, on tv, on tour. Green Day are still huge all over the world.

I really believe he's become overconfident now in his writing and that didn't turn good for his skills. Decent track, inspired songwriting, one of the better ones on the Trilogy. That being said, its release was poorly timed being well over a year after the events that inspired it occurred (more recently I thought it could have gotten a second life on the soundtrack for Bernie Sanders' campaign last year), and as bright as the sound should have been, Cavallo and Lord-Alge way overdid the filters they put in the mix. Compare how the demo track sounds on Demolicious to how the finished track sounds on Tre and you're left with the same feeling you get when you see someone and say "wow, she's so pretty, why does she use so much fucking makeup"? (Sorry for being a bit sexist there but that's the best analogy I can think of). The same self-produced, explosive guitars/explosive bass/percussion-you-can-feel sound you hear in that demo track that gives 99 Revs the extra "oomph" you wish it had had on Tre? That's what made it onto RevRad and thank God -- and/or Chris Dugan -- for that. On 1/28/2017 at 1:49 PM, Jane Lannister said: We got a quality album 3 months ago. </thread>

GreenDayTheory Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Dudes kinda agree with this because this is the time they will be more inspired ( I say that because im a songwriter ) and also we are in the 21 century which people worship the guys who say nonsense but hates the guys who say the truth and Rock music is now losing its popularity ( It will affect Green Day really,really,really bad )

TimmyChunks Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I honestly just don't get it...what more do people want? They just put out a really good/ great album (I'm of the great opinion, but respect the fact that not everyone loves it as much as I do). They've been around forever, been a great band for a long time, and they're still artistically motivated enough to release new material and tour their asses off. Seriously, what else can they do? Every other band with massive success from the era is either done or has had key members die (yep, dead) along the way. The only living/ working bands from the same period of time I can think of that are still producing new material and touring are Pearl Jam, Metallica, and Phish. And just a few months ago I would've said Soundgarden...hopefully that makes you think a little. We're damn lucky- flat out privileged- these guys are still out there rocking out. Don't take it for granted, nothing lasts forever.

Do you even Google I'm not even going to bother mentioning bands/artists that are 10/ 20 or even 30 years OLDER than Green Day but seriously melodramatic much?

Neutral Milk Hotel Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Excuse me?????? What do you MEAN Revolution Radio wasn't a quality Green Day album? Not only was it their most inspired and emotional since Kerplunk, but I feel as if each song has such a deep meaning that I am just disturbed that you would even PRETEND that it's not their second best album. Green Day shouldn't go more experimental, they should follow the Revolution Radio sound. When I hear songs like Outlaw and Bouncing off the Walls, I shed tears. They are the most raw and personal songs I have heard since Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen, We are Floating in Space. Your assertion is wrong, nick.. Green Day doesn't need a "popularity dip" or new inspiration. They need to just record Revolution Radio ii, and then Revolution Radio iii and iv. This is the only way to please the fans. We need less debbie downers like nick. over here and more forward thinkers, like me! Like if you agree On 1/26/2017 at 10:51 PM, nick. said: Anyone else agree that a quality Green Day album will only arrive when the guys have nothing to lose? I was thinking about the "best" Green Day albums in my opinion and what made them so great. I can't help but think that what made Dookie so angsty and punk was partly that it wasn't written to appease a fan base. Same with American Idiot, I've seen in interviews where the band reacts with surprise at the success that later came from these albums. I wasn't satisfied fully with RevRad, something was missing for me. And I wonder if we'll get a solid, epic album with the track that Green Day is on now.

Only through trials of repetition and sound perfecting will Green Day reach the critical acclaim that they so desire.
