jengd Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I always thought I could see past some of these thing but I have a Lostprophets song on my gym playlist and every time it comes on I cringe slightly. It’s not an easy one.
lizziebix Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Well my peeps this song has been an ear worm for me for the last 3 days. I think it means I like it. I think.

With albums like Insomniac, American Idiot and 21cb he's basically dug himself into a hole he'll never be able to climb out of. His approach is different and was also different on Rev Rad as well. I think the lyrics are a lot more open ended than previous GD albums which means people have to think and work for the meaning rather than get it shoved down their throats for them. Sadly, this is the era we live in. Everything written is taken in verbatim or as the person wants to interpret it. You have no ideas how many times I've said something or sent a text message that has some meaning that's between the lines. Flies over everyone's heads or completely misunderstood. Good point. Some folks (certainly not me) look past Nimrod, but I think that was the height of Billie’s lyric writing. Some of that stuff is genius- All the Time, Grouch, Scattered, Worry Rock, etc.- were a very impressive combination of wit, humor (at times dark), and observation. I’m not just hanging on to the past either- he’s had more recent examples of great lyric writing in my opinion (Forever Now, much of 21CB, lots of the Trilogy)...but at times Nimrod was lyrical genius.

Nimrod is the one that started it all for me. Scattered and Worry Rock are chillingly fantastic. If the unicorn decides to release any more bodily fluids onto an album cover, that would be my choice. Haha. Actually, Nimrod WOULD look pretty cool with some black on the background as well.

Some time in 2026 when people forget this song NOFX is gonna cover it and change the lyrics ooh ok so this is kinda random but I would LOVE to hear a NOFX cover of a green day song. And I've been imagining what a green day cover of "franco un-american" would sound like for quite a while.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Dammit... after ripping on their new stuff thus far, I think I actually like this song...

I like them in the reverse order of them being released, but they've never been very good at picking singles anyway, right? I'm kind of sad that we've already listened to a good chunk of the album, though, since it's so short. But there's no way I have enough willpower to resist listening!
Zebahar Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Has anyone heard this song playing on the radio? Since I don’t really listen to the radio anymore after I got rid of my car, I’m a bit in the dark when it comes to what’s playing on the radio nowadays.

I don't listen to rock radio much since it's mostly the same 50 90s songs on repeat, but I haven't heard any of the new songs and neither have my friends.

Our rock station is the same 60's and 70's songs + 5 90's songs.

I havnt heard oh yeah yet, but my local rock station and alternative station love to play father of all!
Montclare Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Haven't heard it (rarely listen to radio), but just checked my local station's playlist and they played it an hour ago. Edit: They've played it 3 times today.
pacejunkie punk Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Jealous. Still have yet to hear any of the new songs on my local alternative channel but hey they played American Idiot, Good Riddance and BOBD today 🙄
Thelongshot Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 On 1/19/2020 at 5:44 PM, 21st_century_gloria said: I kinda feel like GD pushing Joan Jett's role in covering the song (as opposed to Gary Glitter as the writer, even calling Glitter out as an "asshole") as well as donating the royalties to RAINN, even having a female director, etc, makes it more of a middle finger to Glitter himself, if you will? Making sure he doesn't get any positive attention. Wonder if Glitter gets any royalties as the writer? I hope not

Polishing up some tracks tonight, but try as I might - can't make anything that sound remotely like Green Day.

We can take this forum down with no survivors. Those who defy us must answer to Golgotha.

It was the worst virus I’ve ever had, so I wasn’t doing much of anything. Between that, spending a lot of time fixing up the new house and not being thrilled about the new music, I was unintentionally putting GDC on the back burner. But then this song got stuck in my head.
