Hermione Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Banning someone because his beliefs about gays are not in line with yours is in complete opposition of what Green Day and this whole country stands for. Just saying. Nah that's not why he was warned, it was because he was continuing to spam the thread after being told to stop. I don't believe he mentioned his "beliefs about gays" anyway. I'm not in your country btw, this site is more than just the US.

Hermione Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Oh srry didn't know that. #Murica No worries, if I ever did warn someone for disagreeing with me I'd hope someone would call me out on it.
Mar Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I was at that detroit concert too and even though i don't care for 21cb the album, 21cb the song was a great opener. Welcome, another Metro Detroiter (I'm a bit south of you but I went to that show, too)! I love musicals, but I agree with you here. The original American Idiot album was an intensely personal, very tight, briefly told story. The musical pretty much destroyed that. First off: far too many characters. Changing the songs to be from the perspectives of people like Will and Tunny not only makes the story make less sense, as the lyrics were originally about just Jesus, Jimmy and Whatsername, it distills the story far too much and makes it far less personal than the album. Secondly: too many new songs. Adding the 21CB songs was a huge mistake—they entirely disrupt the narrative flow, and no wonder, as they're part of an entirely different narrative on an entirely different album. The original album, despite its nearly 60-minute length, felt tightly edited, just long enough to be epic but short enough that it didn't wear out its welcome. The musical is bloated, rambling and overlong. Finally—the cast. I'm sorry, but they turned something that, despite the fact that it's mostly arena rock, still has a punk feel into something that sounds like the cast of Glee. So overall, not a huge fan of the musical. If the movie ever gets out of development hell, I hope it discards the musical's extra characters and songs and sticks to the original story. For that matter, they shouldn't even have new recordings of the songs; they should do what Pink Floyd did with The Wall and just have the album play as the movie's soundtrack. I have weird feelings about the musical. I liked it well enough when I saw it last year, but I definitely don't have a connection to it or the various castmembers like a lot of people do. I plan on seeing it when it comes to my city next year, but I'm not gonna travel to see it again. I'm glad it happened but I'm definitely indifferent overall. I really liked the bolded part of what you said. I couldn't relate to the musical's plots like I could with the album. The album was ambiguous enough to be relatable to a lot of people; I felt more like an outsider looking in with the musical, whereas I could relate the album to my life. I disagree with what you said about the 21CB songs, though. I think I love the 21 Guns version from the musical more and I think they added to the musical
munns6691 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 On Dookie Chump (even though I like it), Pulling Teeth, Sassafrass Roots, Eminus Sleepus, and In the End should be replaced by Going to Pasalaqua, Christie Road, Andriod, Who Wrote Holden Caulfied and One of my Lies. The album would have done twice as good
HolyHandGrenade Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 On Dookie Chump (even though I like it), Pulling Teeth, Sassafrass Roots, Eminus Sleepus, and In the End should be replaced by Going to Pasalaqua, Christie Road, Andriod, Who Wrote Holden Caulfied and One of my Lies. The album would have done twice as good I don't think an album with 50% remakes would do very well. Maybe if those songs hadn't already been released
munns6691 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I don't think an album with 50% remakes would do very well. Maybe if those songs hadn't already been released I mean with the fans that never heard of them prior to Dookie. Plus those songs would have gotten a lot more recognition which they deserve. I guess of they could have known they were gonna make dookie when they made kerplunk they could have saved some of the best songs

That album increased their reputation and got labels interested. If that didn't happen, things would have turned out quite differently
munns6691 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Very true.. But don't take it so literally haha
DannyDirnt Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 At most I would have liked Going to Pasalacqua and Paper Lanterns to have been released on Dookie instead on 39/Smooth. Just so they'd have a better quality and more people knew about them.
porksoda Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I would buy the shit out of a re-recorded Kerplunk, with some 1039 hits as bonus tracks! Idk if that's an unpopular opinion, but it's totally something I would do
Slave To The Network Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I find it amusing that a thread with complaints/unusual opinions about Green Day has 108 pages already.
musso_kn Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 When I finally get round to going to a gig, I don't care what they play. I decided this watching the Irving Plaza gig in September on Scuzz. They even make songs I don't like come alive. BUT, if they EVER remove She from the setlist I will find out who was personally responsible for such a moronic move, hunt them down and smash their skull in with a baseball bat.

I just loved to hear the acoustic encores with Words I Might Have Ate and Christie Road (I might be missing others).
Akshat Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I find it amusing that a thread with complaints/unusual opinions about Green Day has 108 pages already. What can I say, people judge opinions
angel green Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 What I don't love is how their set list has basically been the same this entire tour. They haven't played as much as I would have liked from the trilogy; Kill The DJ, Nuclear Family, Fuck Time, etc. I know the crowd would go fucking crazy if they decided to play Fuck Time.
DannyDirnt Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 She live is 10000000000 times better. The Awesome as F**k version is incredibly awesome!
klytaemnestra Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 they haven't played kill the dj? i'm returning my stan card.
Todd Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 they haven't played kill the dj? i'm returning my stan card. They played it 3 times in 2012. That's it.

Bass is a much better option. You get to impersonate Mike that way
musso_kn Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Bass is a much better option. You get to impersonate Mike that way "If you refuse to play She one more time, I'mma hit you with your own bass. This time, we are going back 1994 for a second."
DookieLukie Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Dirty Rotten Bastards is highly overrated. It's honestly not that great of a song.
Hermione Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Dirty Rotten Bastards is highly overrated. It's honestly not that great of a song. I think it's really great, but I agree it's overrated as I don't think it's a million times better than the other songs on the album as it seems a lot of other people do. Also literally all the time I'm listening to the yea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea, yea-ea-ea-ea, ye-ea-ea-ea part of Dirty Rotten Bastards, I'm imagining a large opera singer singing the bit of this song at 1:34: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDsDi1OKxnE I know the similarity has been pointed out loads of times before but I don't just see it as a similarity, it's actually part of the song for me
angel green Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 they did play fuck time once on this tour though so at least that's something. no kill the dj though wait, really? gaaah I'm so jealous. another unpopular green day opinion is that they're actually aging (somewhat)...which I thought wasnt possible
