Fuzz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hey! We need some more original writing on GDA. I think it'd be great to feature more thoughts from the community as a way to share ideas and opinions about Green Day. I'd like to open this up to more people. First, let's brainstorm some ideas together for good editorials. What's something related to the trilogy that would be interested to read about? From there I'll take volunteers who are interested in writing something. Editorials are usually in the 1000-1500 words range, depending on the topic. So, ideas??

insomniax Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd love to contribute as well maybe about the recent comeback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amspiro Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Perhaps two different editorials, one pro three albums and the other pro one album with all the best songs from the trilogy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnoDosTre123 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think that reviews of the trilogy would be interesting to read as an Editorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think that reviews of the trilogy would be interesting to read as an Editorial. Good point. We haven't done our own review of them. That's a pretty big one though, I think I'd have to find someone very capable of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malleus Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would be interested in reading (and writing, I guess) editorials about the general feel of the trilogy, if that makes any sense. What people think about the idea and the change, this new era of Green Day, and how it relates to them and their relationship with the band is hella interesting to me. Maybe I am just tired and rambling, but I can say that the trilogy came at a point in my life with a lot of changes going on, and I have to believe a bunch of other fans who are around my age feel the same way.

That's a pretty big one though, I think I'd have to find someone very capable of doing it. I'm up for the challenge. I've been wanting to write a review for the trilogy and just haven't gotten around to it. I'm on spring break right now, so I've got nothing but free time.

I would also be up for something like that. Just some thoughts on the Trilogy as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo. Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Recap of the Fox theatre show? I think there hasn't been one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Since there's a lot of interest in a recap for the trilogy, how about we do it this way. If you would like to do it, send me a sample paragraph (via PM) of how you'd write it. First give me a simple idea of the things you'd like to cover in the editorial, then write a paragraph no more than 5-7 sentences just so I can get a sample of your writing, tone, etc.. Then I'll pick someone by Thursday to actually do it. I'm excited that many of you would like to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jude O'Reilly Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would hate on the trilogy to much so to not enrage some people I shall refrain from sending a sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd actually like to do some creative writing as soon as I get a good idea for a topic. I won't stress with it though, I don't want it to be forced or anything.Writing about fanatic fans would be fun, but they are usually uptight and won't give interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met Fan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've had a trilogy review on my mind for a month now, this makes me wanna finally start typing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenRanger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think there are a lot of approaches to tallking about the trilogy. You could talk about how perceptions of the songs might have been different without Billie Joe's rehab and how the release date change of Tre might have changed things, or you could go for how the set up of it actually being a trilogy went for the band. I don't know if things like that would be worth much outside of a mention in a review, but they're things I started to think about when considering what a review might be like.

musso_kn Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 What about a more personal editorial? I'm currently in the process of expanding my musical tastes as far as I can, while listening to minimal amount of Green Day. I want to see how my feelings towards Green Day change when I complete this little experiment, which will probably be in the summer, when I have more time to fully dive into it. I could write a reflection on what I've discovered. So yeah, I can't really write anything any time soon, but it's something I would love to do in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 How about personal interpretations of the trilogy lyrics? Obviously not implying anything about Billie himself, just what the story of the songs is to different people. I really like that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd love to write some editorials. I've already written a review of each album for my student paper when I was finishing up college last semester, so writing a review wouldn't be too tough. When would you like to have this ready by? Not sure if I should take it on when I have a lot of writing for my actual job to finish up this week... (but let's be real, GD is much more important).

The Grohl Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I definitely want to partake in this! The only idea I have is personal like how I got into Green Day and stuff like that. Otherwise I have no idea...maybe how they try to keep their punk roots even though the music isn't really punk or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRanger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So, I was trying to write something for this and I wonder, is this more of a Trilogy Era recap, or reviews of the actual Trilogy itself? I want to make sure to mention context in anything I write, but there's definitely two very different articles there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedwig Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd be a fan of a creative review of the trilogy. Maybe a review through photos or paintings of the feeling you got from listening to the album, or why not a song about an album? There are tons of possibilities.That wouldn't be an editorial though, so maybe it's not even relevant, but it'd be really damn awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
