I still prefer "Two Hour Tambourine Solo, in Three Parts"

I don't really like calling it the Trilogy either (even though I usually do) because it's such a boring and serious name that doesn't do justice to the fun and cool album titles the band chose. At times I've just referred to it as Uno Dos Tre because of that, might stick to that in future :P

Me too :D

I just don't get Let Yourself Go. The verse are about absolute hatred for someone, but the chorus is let yourself go, which has no connection to the meaning of the verses. Musically it's good, very typical green day, but the chorus (and outro) let it down.

I always thought of the chorus as telling the person he hates to "let themself go," or stop putting themself on a pedestal.

Ahh I'd never thought of it that way! I like it.

Exactly what I've always thought. The person talks too much, always repeating the same stories and is getting on Billie's "every last nerve". He's saying "let your hair down, stop being a douchebag and just learn to have fun and stop being an annoying twat. Let yourself go".

Does anyone else think Billie's voice sounds really weak on Waiting?

I'm starting to like "Makeout Party" for the same reason I like "Nightlife." Aka the bass.

WHY can't Green Day showcase Mike's talent in some songs that are actually good?!

I meant in their new stuff :P

DRB, Nuclear Family... oh wait that's it.

Stay The Night...

Ehhhh. It's okay. Wouldn't say it's outstanding in terms of bass.

Then again, it's been months since I listened to the Trilogy. Probably around Brixton, actually :P

It works in its favour that it was clearly written the week Mike learned to play harmonics :P

I actually think the bass on the trilogy is more outstanding than its been in the past but my unpopular opinion is that I have a hard time hearing the bass on most of their songs. I know it's there and if I try I can usually find it but I think Mike gets drowned out by the loud guitars. I like The Strokes production, if you ever listened to them you can literally hear every instrument going off separately yet at the same time. So I wish Green Day would turn up the bass

there are a lot of purists on this page.

Rocky should be promoted to lead singer.

I fucking love that dog

He should sing on the next album

I'll pay them to do that

Live or Album?

Really loving The Grouch lately. I love the part when the bass enters after he says "shitty old man". No idea why. Lyrics are humorous as well.

I actually really like the bass line on Missing you. Yea it's not complicated but it's sexy....

That's certainly true on a lot of the newer stuff. Then again, it's not like he's doing much anyway. On Insomniac the bass is too loud, but it's basically the lead instrument so I guess that makes more sense.

Live or Album?

Album. Just sounds a bit strained.

Purists?

people who believe one thing (such as punk) is someone who expects everything to be exactly like the thing they like; doesn't believe in watered-down versions of such things (credits to urban dictionary, I suck at wording these things)

I know what it means, I'm just wondering where in gods name did you get the impression that anyone in this thread is a purist? I haven't even seen theanswer in here yet...
