zackattack Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Do any of you think that the songs on dookie.speak to each other like the songs on american idiot do.not a rock opera but almost like a storysomething along the lines of likehe meets a girl. shewho treats him horrible. pulling teeth
Heather! Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I don't think so...The songs on Dookie are primarily about being young, confused, angry, bored, etc., but I wouldn't call it a story.
Clockwise Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 They're definitely related in topic, and in feeling. No linear story though.
lobob92345 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I think it would be kind of intriguing to see the plot that people could come up with based on the songs off Dookie... We know it wasn't written with the intent of forming a linear narrative, but it could be cool to see what we fans could create.
Hermione Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I know what you mean, I think you could really say that about most albums. I find with Green Day the themes of the songs can easily make it seem like each album is set in it's own little universe. There isn't a specific story or characters but it still feels like I'm there in that little world seeing what's going on.
lobob92345 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Totally, I've noticed some work more easily into a story than others... I think part of it comes from the fact that the band is going through different stages of life personally when they write and it just displays in billie's lyrics and the music styling...
Clockwise Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah, it definitely feels like each album is in its own little world and has its own seperate feel.
Lauren Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Related, but no story line... except for the band member's lives.
Sharmellow Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Related, but no story line... except for the band member's lives.This.I find most Green Day albums has some type of relation.
Opezi Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 yeah its just random lol coming clean is about billie coming out about being bi lol
amy_runs Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I think every Green Day album has songs on it that compliment others. They kinda have the same sound and lyrics that are similar, too. But it's probably just because they were made at the same time. If there was a Kerplunk song on American Idiot, you could most likely tell it doesn't fit.I just re-read that it it didn't really make sense
thenextsexpistol_mak Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I don't think so...The songs on Dookie are primarily about being young, confused, angry, bored, etc., but I wouldn't call it a story.its a concept album if you like, i mean , the boreness and masturbation topics but it aint got a story
Lauren Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 This.I find most Green Day albums has some type of relation.I like it when people quote me and say "This".
lobob92345 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I like it when people quote me and say "This". This, I concur with. Sorry that was off topic.On topic: I am now inspired to pick an album and write a short story with it, using a song per chapter/paragraph or something.PS: We have the same name.
Clockwise Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Wow, that would be awesome to see what you could come up with for a short story!
lobob92345 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 If I do end up writing one I will post something in here to let you guys know that it's up... I haven't written anything in forever, let alone a story. We'll see how bored I get this summer. post 69
Lauren Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 This, I concur with. Sorry that was off topic.On topic: I am now inspired to pick an album and write a short story with it, using a song per chapter/paragraph or something.PS: We have the same name. haha it happened again. and really?! that must mean you're cool.
lobob92345 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 haha it happened again. and really?! that must mean you're cool. yeah, I just had the whole "lauren's are by nature awesome" with my other friend lauren. we should be friends too
Jack96 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Theyre all about boredom and stuff but theres no real story
Peel Slowly And See Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 People need to stop looking for rock operas. Rock operas are often bloated and pretentious. Just look at The Black Parade, The Wall, and even Tommy. I love Tommy and I have respect for The Wall, but they're so hugely flawed and bloated it's unbelievable.I don't remember where it was but somewhere on here called American Idiot the only "real" Green Day album because the others are just randomly arranged songs. If you ask me, I really, really, really want Green Day to stop doing rock operas (given that 21cb isn't a rock opera, but they need to stop even flirting with that idea).
.Militza. Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Sometimes I do. But I can't find the connection in between all songs.
