rinu Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 To me it sounds like Mike screaming and throwing trash cans and glass bottlesThank you. Mike has an awesome scream.
Bohemian+Scandal Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Good for you! way to hold onto your principles (which I think is what Desensitized is indirectly about doing). They've been showing those in California since I was in driver's ed 20 odd years ago. I refused to watch it too.Lol. I still got my certificate despite her threats not to give it to me. Like I said I'd already seen one and I that's all that's required by law. Don't get me wrong, I understand why they show those videos. I don't mind it, but the reaction they get is a lot different than what the filmmakers intended. I just didn't want to continue to be among the people (which was pretty much everyone in that class) who were getting their rocks off on that shit. If we go back to ancient times where they're entertainment was to watch a slave be ripped apart by a lion just because, or when an execution was the center of a lovely day out, you'd see where humanity was and that although we are more publicly civilized now, most humans have yet to evolve to the point where that savage love of violence and destruction has been taken out of them.. It's just in our blood. Some people more than others of course, but I think everyone has it. Human's are barbaric, selfish pigs at core... And I'm really insulting pigs by saying that.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 ^ I completely agree with that.
Isabel Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Didn't Billie Joe say one time that they just put Mike in a room and let him run loose with and kick the shit out of the band's equipment?
Alan86 Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Love this song. Shinanagins is a great album. My favourite from this album is ha ha you're dead
insomniaticnimrod Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 i fucking love blaring this song in my car and singing along...i do that with the whole album actually, i like how billie sings on this record..dunno why just do lol, kinda of a growly tone to it i think
Solitary One Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I love this song *Excuse the generic-ness of my comment*
E!!i Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I think we are all desensitized because of the bad news that we hear every day and there isn't much left that is shocking for us.
anymor Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Love this song. Shinanagins is a great album. My favourite from this album is ha ha you're deadI feel the same way Desensitized is one of my favourite from this album;I like madly the sense of the text rather then the music. this line is my favourite:" Bring me blood and pain Of a stranger's fate Give it all away "..sometimes a little scare me how much people can getting to be desensitized, it's like a total circle of apathy and carelessly, if we lose the sense of "feeling" may we still consider us human or alive? sometimes things and people around bring me to become a little bit desensitized, gives me creeps,it seems like nothing can scare me or touch me anymore..
drumstick Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I love that song! And every time I listen to it and when I decided to sing I can't start the first line on the right time...hahaI remember few weeks ago I couldn't stop singing this song for few days...and now I can't again
The Disappearing Boy Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 i quite like this song, though i haven't listened to shenanigans in about a year
J'net Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 i quite like this song, though i haven't listened to shenanigans in about a year Maybe you should fix that .
St. Banana Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 apart from sick of me this is definitely one of my favourites from shenanigans
Greenday_Aussie Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Deffiantly should have been on nimrod. Im glad its on the Aussie version, the album feels bigger and better with the Bsides.
NowhereBound Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 This song is one of my favorite b-sides! I love it!
madie Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I wanna get ripped offf, and drown in the airwavessss
MascaraTears Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I love this song, it's super catchy... although basically every part of it sounds exactly like some part of another GD song. but hey, nothing wrong with ripping off yourself I really love the "drown in the airwaves" line too.
Boston Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I like this song in theory, but I can't listen to it.
J'net Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 I like this song in theory, but I can't listen to it.Do you know why you can't listen to it? What about it don't you like?I'm just curious .
madie Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I like this song in theory, but I can't listen to it.Explain??
mistress Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 i love this song, it's says so much about the overload of information and images we see every day out there, and how it can make you so indifferent to things going on all over. the loss of empathy..i've said it before...lyrical genious ~~Another fatal wreck on the information highway~~ <--my email signature
