Stan Dellone Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 21 Guns is probably my least favorite song on the album. It seems uninspired (musically, not in terms of content) and repetitive. I know that when I first heard When September Ends, which is the song everyone seems to be comparing 21 Guns to, I was blown away (then it was overplayed). 21 Guns lacks the charm of September... for me, anyway.Also, check this out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aix03KSesoE (at 2:02)And this:http://billybobsaget.ytmnd.com/Stupid, I know. And I don't HATE the song, but... the next single?
Kaddi. Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I think 21 Guns is a great choice And it's an awesome song... I'm just afraid that it might start to annoy me when it is played on the radio all the time like BOBD.
14razorbacks Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I wouldn't want East Jesus Nowhere to be the next single; I like it so much on a political level that I think such commercialisation of it would make me like it less. Like when Holiday was released as a single in '05; I didn't mind, but it was sorta annoying that everyone knew it now.
RogueBreakdown Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 21 Guns makes the most logical next choice, if not somewhat formulamatic (is that even a word?) move.My guess?KYE > 21G > EJN > Restless Heart > AEAE?don't think so...It would be awesome but I don't see them doing that.
WrenchNinja Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 We all expected this to be a single. No surprise. It's my personal favorite.I'm hoping the nest one is Before the Lobotomy or East Jesus Nowhere.
Katarina. Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I'm hoping the nest one is Before the Lobotomy or East Jesus Nowhere.I think I like you.. Those two are the ones I'm hoping for as well!

And I don't HATE the song, but... the next single?lol oh my goshI laughed so hard at the second one. IT'S TRUE, TOTALLY THE SAME but I don't quite think for some reason they'd rip off the Full House theme XD I don't know why but, seriously, no. It's hard to create new melodies. Somewhere down the line the band might have the same sounding things here and there. Heck I'm an artist and I have trouble drawing completely new poses and I sometimes find myself what you call doing "a genetic pose".I wonder if 21 Guns will have a music video too! 8D
Mrs.Kerplunk Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 eeeww..not that one :bored: don't get me wrong - 21 Guns is one of the most beautiful songs GD ever written BUT i bet it'll be annoying to hear it everywhere, at the radio..at tv etc. it'll be overplayed just like WMUWSE or BOBD which i really love but they played it too much ..just my opinion ..anyway..
Exzor Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I love this song, the first time I heard it i thought "Shit, this song is gonna be huge." It probably is, just like BOBD and WMEUSE
AmericanIdiot222 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I love 21 Guns. But I too would have liked to have seen East Jesus Nowhere be the 2nd single.
Angela. Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I like 21 Guns a lot. It's a beautiful song. I do like East Jesus Nowhere more, though. I hope that is made into a single next.I just REALLY hope that 21 Guns isn't overplayed like BOBD.
Jason Alvarez Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Reason 21 Guns came out in an instant:Never this close. Probably because KYE was doing awesome so they wanted to see if another song could get that high.KYE is already No. 1 in a lot of countries. Where I live, (U.S.) KYE is very popular, No. 1 on 2 charts.Quote by Me.

And I don't HATE the song, but... the next single?Yeah that telephone song does sound very familiar haha, but Last Of The American girls ai similar to Revolution by The Beatles. Green Day have just been inspired by these songs. That telphone line could be just pure coincidenceTo be honest, ive kinda overplayed it to myself I dont listen to much radio either, but I garuntee that most of the times I turn it on, theres a high chance 21 Guns is playing
Astrid. Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Yeah I'm happy for it to be a single. I don't like East Jesus Nowhere that much so all reason to be happy. It's my least listened song off of 21CD.21 Guns shows people a whole different side of Green Day. There are enough people walking around on this globe thinking Green Day is just 'heavy' punk or rock, which isn't always the case. More and more people will get attracted to this song.. or are even buying the album. So more money comes in for the music company
