HolyHandGrenade Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Green Day has an ample amount of songs that continue tunes, sounds, or chords from the end of one song to the start of the next. Vote for what you think is the best of these, and support your vote in the posts. Personally, I favor Jinx/Haushinka. Nimrod is my favorite album of theirs from the '90's due partly to these two songs. I love the powerful and memorable riffs, the simple and fun lyrics (relative to the other contenders) as well as the underwhelming cumulative length. It keeps my attention without boring me by it's lack of intricacy in some respects.
The Forgotten Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Holiday and BoBD hold a special place in my heart...
GenesisJames Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Definitely Are We The Waiting / St. Jimmy. My SOTW write-up fo AWTW should explain why. Also, because it completely makes sense in terms of the story of the album.
Cath Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 i really like Chump/Longview and Last of the American Girl/Murder city because the continuation is really obvious. but Holiday/BOBD is pretty great too. and didn't notice about Jinx/Haushinka before the thread thought love the thread idea by the way

All this talk about Brain Stew was the catalyst I also love that they open Murder City with a BANG - the beeping gets faster and louder, until BJ shouts "Desperate! But not 'opeless..."
The Forgotten Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I do wanna say though that all of these pairs are fucking awesome
Cath Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 this is off topic but a little bit related. did someone ever noticed that the end of Last of The American Girl and the beginning of Murder City sounds just like the end of the song London Calling by the Clash. don't know if Green Day got the idea by them it's actually really similar.
Four. Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I voted for awtw/st. Jimmy purely for the way it transitions in the musical. It's the peak of the album, and I will write something linger once I am off mobile.
HolyHandGrenade Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 holiday/bobd by a longshot also i've just now noticed you can click view on the poll and it tells you who voted for what, has it always been like that? haha You can turn on/off that option.
DookieLukie Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I love these types of songs! Btw...there are more from 21CB that connect Static Age/ 21 Guns
HolyHandGrenade Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 I love these types of songs! Btw...there are more from 21CB that connect Static Age/ 21 Guns I suppose. It's very subtle. I'll add it to the poll
DoodleBob Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 How about the Favorite Son/Are We the Waiting transition in the Broadway version?
The Grohl Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 No contest, Brain Stew/Jaded for sure. It's just so perfect! But Are We the Waiting/St Jimmy is good too.
St.JimmyxChristiansInferno Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 you forgot Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel, Extraordinary Girl/Letterbomb, See You Tonight/Fuck Time and also Viva La Gloria (Little Girl)/Restless Heart Syndrome but you can barely hear it on that one but Id say Brain Stew/Jaded
DirtyRottenForgotten Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I really love Static Age into 21 Guns. Maybe because The Static Age is my favorite song but every pair on this list is amazing!
DookieLukie Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 you forgot Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel, Extraordinary Girl/Letterbomb, See You Tonight/Fuck Time and also Viva La Gloria (Little Girl)/Restless Heart Syndrome but you can barely hear it on that one but Id say Brain Stew/Jaded These too
HolyHandGrenade Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 you forgot Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel, Extraordinary Girl/Letterbomb, See You Tonight/Fuck Time and also Viva La Gloria (Little Girl)/Restless Heart Syndrome but you can barely hear it on that one but Id say Brain Stew/Jaded Nova/Rebel - despite the fact that they both line up with drum beats, none of the notes actually cross over. They're unique. EG/Letterbomb - I don't understand that one. EG fades out with a guitar, and Letterbomb starts with static. See You Tonight/Fuck Time - once again, none of the notes cross over, despite the lack of a pause/fade out at the end Little Girl/RHS - ends with a bang of the piano keys, fades out, starts with unique piano notes and strings. Don't hear it.
green day is Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 You forgot Last Ride In and whatever's before it.
HolyHandGrenade Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 You forgot Last Ride In and whatever's before it. Oh yeah, the waves. I'll add it.
Mar Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I love Are We the Waiting/St. Jimmy, but I decided to vote for LOTAG/Murder City because while a fairly long outro for LOTAG, I think it really builds up Murder City well.
