No maybe about it! It's reasonably simple in comparison with some of the others listed, but it's still got a bass solo.

I think Tight Wad Hill suffers because it's on Insomniac. The standard of a song has to be damn high to work on that record. Listened to in isolation it seems a lot better.

The first two were ones I had filed under "Need I continue?" ;)

Panic Song is just Mike sitting on the same note, and 2000LYA just has a Mike playing the main riff before the solo.

She is also incredible.

Panic Song is two minutes of "How the fuck does he have so much wrist stamina, oh my god I bet he's good at wanking."

She is brilliant, the bridge is one of the most underrated bits of bass playing in the history of Mike.

But the real burning question... How the fuck did you get your username fixed? :P

Mike's had wrist surgery like 3 times :P

No wonder :P Takes a big sacrifice to be the motherfuckin' best.

Been there, seen that, bought the bass :P

Not that I really get the fuss over that video, it shows a different side to him but he's played far better stuff on record anyway.

It shows a side that I wasn't aware he had - and a side which needs to come out more in their records!

Well yeah, absolutely. It's a shame he hasn't had much opportunity in 20+ years to show that off!

Assuming you mean the slap stick thing, where would that ever fit into a song? Sounds like Primus.

The worst song I thought Green Day made (Before Uno-Dos-Tre) would have to be Rest I think, or something off that record. Tight Wad Hill isn't great but it's not their worst.

That's what I mean, it wouldn't fit into anything they've done so far. It could work somewhere at some point though, it doesn't have to sound like Primus. Those crazy quick fills in Dirty Rotten Bastards would work slapped. It actually really surprises me that he hasn't done it at least once, given how bass-orientated a lot of their songs are.

And we all know how creative and virtuosic that bassline is.

Would it be considered 'unpopular' to think that dropping 21st Century Breakdown from the set is one of the worst decisions the band have ever made?

Posted

Those of us who missed that entire tour for unlucky timing and family issues say +1.

I'd love to hear that song...and The Static Age.

I found The Static Age pretty boring live to be honest, and it's one of my favourite songs on the album!

Surprisingly Static Age was one of my favourites live, along with 21 Guns. I'm not sure why, but it made me like the song more after experiencing it live. :lol:

No, writing KYE and Oh Love were the worst decisions the band ever made, let alone making them lead singles! Though dropping Breakdown was a bad move too.

Oh and the sax solo on Static Age live is fantastic.
