Neutral Milk Hotel Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 When all I had was International Superhits- this, Waiting, and Nice Guys Finish Last were the only songs I couldn't stand. But now Geek Stink Breath is probably my favorite off Insomniac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaBJA Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Firstly, I didn't like thsi song, but after hearing it more times, I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cob Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What I really love about this song is that heavy as hell palm muted riff. Billie does heavy chug better than metal does heavy chug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musso_kn Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Interesting that it took time to grow on many of you. I absolutely adored it on first listen. What I really love about this song is that heavy as hell palm muted riff. Billie does heavy chug better than metal does heavy chug. This. I always though this was Green Day's 'metal' song because of nature of the riff. For some reason, I always associated it with a part of Metallica's Enter Sandman.

November's Storms Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I remember Mike saying in some interview that this was "an ugly song for an ugly subject". I love how they tried to make it as crass and unpleasant as possible, yet still released it as a single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPhil Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What a great song about meth! They should use it on Breaking Bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I think lyrically, it's genius. It's quite poetic and a well-written song for a such an ugly subject. The music video makes me queasy though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa. Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It's somewhat hard to hear normally, but the bassline in this song kicks ass! It's super rad. My favorite off of Insomniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie, get your gun Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yes, the video is kind of ew but it's not that bad! I think it was an original idea, then "Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled first..." ♪♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdlyon Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I always thought I wasn't a huge fan of this song, but when they played it in Fairfax a few days ago I got really excited and into it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYoFantaFanta Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My favorite song on Insomniac and one of my top 10 GD songs. I love the agression in the guitar and the vocals. Such an awesome SOTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice write up and great choice for this week. This is definitely one of my favorite Green Day songs. A lot of the lyrics are gruesome, but that's what I love about the song. Also, that riff is killer. It's a song like this that keeps me from trying these drugs! But for the life of me I cannot watch the video...at least not the parts involving the dental removal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy_PunkRock Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Great choice! I love that song! Is one of my favourites from Insomniac. I love the bassline and the guitar riff! Also, the live version kick ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
