Yeah well, stop when the red light flash is the French song by Joann Jett, American Eulogy is run away also from JJ, JoS is a mix of ring of fire and summer of 69, and Warning is picture book by the Kinks We could never stop if we start this game, and no record is safe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love listening to those ones because of that. Which ones would you say have noticble similarities? I’ve always seen Avril more equivalent to blinks overall sound, and no that’s not just because Travis did some drums on the best damn thing lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can just notice they are influenced by their sound like Blink or other punk bands. TBDT is overall like that but one example, especially the part starting around at 1:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post petros Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Listening to Oh Yeah again and man I haven't felt connected to new Billie Joe lyrics since 2009. As you may know I have been critical of Billie's efforts on writing songs in the trilogy and revrad and this really feels good. I may seem like a hater to most of you since I've been critical for so long but Billie Joe is one of my favorite songwriters ever and I can't stand cringe shit like "my name is Billie and I'm freaking out" it ruins the whole song for me. I really can't wait to listen to the album now and see what else he wrote for this record. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Virginia Lot Lizard Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Trilogy rules. The Trilogy kicks Rev Rad’s ass so bad. I am pretty sure the Trilogy is still going to kick FOAM’s ass even though I’ve only heard three songs. But Green Day is Green Day and Green Day is amazing. My fav band and I am so happy they’re still writing great stuff. I think FOAM will have the fun party atmosphere as intended by the Trilogy but overshadowed by the personal incidents that will not be named. I feel like the band is back on their game and ready for some fun and ready to be the great rocks stars that they are. They are amazing. I think this tour will be a lot of fun. I will definitely be grabbing beers and partying along for this show. I will still time my washroom break for Young Blood especially with all this beer and fun and excitement that I am sure the FOAM tour will bring. Or if cherry cola super nova weakness fucking genius is hopefully dropped from the photocopied set list then I will go to the washroom during the third extended heyyyyy ohhhhhhh set. I don’t want to even miss a one heyyy ohh but with parties and fun and comes at least one washroom break. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalo17 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The trilogy has 10 or 11 great songs, same that others good green day albums, but as it has 37 and not 13 or 14 songs, it also have many poor refill songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't wait to listen to the album now and see what else he wrote for this record. I absolutely agree with what you said about OY, I can connect to it on a very deep level too. But I have to strongly disagree about RevRad lyrics being "cringe shit" 😛 I personally think RevRad had some of Billie's most personal and honest lyrics ever and at least for me also some of his best. If you look at it closely, it's even written like a diary to document Billie's self-reflection of the (post-)rehab times. It ranges from getting used to an everyday-life routine again ("How did a life on the wild side ever get so dull?") to dealing with and processing your worst fears ("Are you scared to death to live?") to finally discovering new perspectives in life and being grateful for them ("How did a life on the wild side ever get so full?"). That is fucking genious, man. I think it's impossible to interpret RevRad without this very personal history, and that's why it never really got the credit it deserved. I feel like reviewers always reduced it to its political message to compare it with AI, but they failed at working out the core message. I think RevRad was a very important record for them to get back on track, it was like a self-therapy, and you could see and feel it back then; I've never seen the boys happier and more at peace with the world and themselves. So it's okay for you to not like RevRad, but calling it "cringe shit" is just unfair. 7 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three songs are solid, there are no bmx-cellent tits moments, but maybe with an exception of some lines in OY, they're Billie's standard writing. What's good is that they're all consistent, but I wouldn't say they stand out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listening to them all in a row today and noticed that FOAM has “count your money/what’s so funny” and OY doubles down with “got my money/ain’t it funny” So it’s either a theme and similar sentiment or he can’t think of any more words to rhyme with money 😜 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's good is that they're all consistent, but I wouldn't say they stand out. I like when it feels deeper and more personal like RevRad and also the Trilogy and FBHT and the Longshot. FOAM so far feels like a critique on modern life and media and not too personal. It is not lazy writing. It’s good. But I just like the personal stuff. I like when it’s like a puzzle for us to figure out and when we can relate to the writing on a personal level through shared experiences with the stories and themes of the songs. FOAM is good and I know it’s a different level of the evolution of Green Day and that’s great. So glad the band isn’t just sitting back and sticking with the formulas they know will work. But personally I love the super personal writing and I am so glad we got the Longshot to hold over until the next deeper record while we have a lot of fun with the FOAM tour. I’m even ok with them not playing Trilogy songs live since we’re getting those songs at Longshot shows and more intimate shows. If they did play those at the arena shows that would be mindblowingly cool after all this time and neglect of those songs. Disappointed they weren’t on RevRad lists but super happy they’re being played at the Longshot shows and small bar shows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
