Dirntbag Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 How did I miss round 1 of this? This is an awesome idea! Hitchin' a Ride is ear porn and I had to vote for Misery just to keep that unique sound in there, it's a great solo too! I think you've gotta admit that (although some people don't adore it, me included) in the trilogy Green Day had a lot more organic solos... if that's what you want to call them... meaning solos that aren't to the tune of the verse and chorus at all, and they really give them a more diverse sound.
xnighttimesky Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I missed round one as well! Ugh! This is a fantastic idea though. Some of these are really hard to pick between... Curious to see what makes it past this round.
Guest Trotsky Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Peacemaker, The Forgotten, Wild One and Wake Me Up When September Ends are some of my favorite solos but unfortunately they didn't pass to the second round.
St. Christian Of Suburbia Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 My dad and I were discussing this yesterday and we both agreed that we wanted Wild One to make it far in the tournament. It already lost. :[
DoodleBob Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 While voting I realized how much I love Stray Heart's solo.
Sleeper Agent. Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I feel like such a bad fan, I had to listen to each audio track to remind me of the solo for some I was even like "That song has a solo?"
Lauren Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I just voted for One for the Razorbacks and then left
Certified Nimrod Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Sort of makes you realise that Green Days solo's arent very good. Really?
JIGD13 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 X-Kid vs American Idiot, that's the hardest decision. Forget it the hardest one is BOBD VS DRB, feelings or party?
Lone Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Have found myself picking melody over complexity. When I Come Around over The Judges Daughter by a mile. WICA has such a distinctive sound while TJD is forgettable. I'm not a fan of fast, wild guitar solos in pop punk. See, this is my main problem. I do like some solos for how well they're close to the melody but I do like many others for how fast and wild they are. This round is a lot tougher.
LazyPhil Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Sort of makes you realise that Green Days solo's arent very good. It made me realise the exact opposite
Justin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 If Worry Rock doesn't make it, i'm not voting again Probably my favourite melodic solo, as for just awesome solo Dry Ice/ Only Of You should make it through. My wild card solo for feels is Whatsername though, beautiful solo.
Ritz Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Nothing can beat the solo of KTDJ, Letterbomb and Dry Ice. Amazing solos!
Overjoyyed Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 So hard! especially choosing a better guitar solo vs. my favourite of the 2. Can't believe Wow that's loud did not make it to round 2?
greendepent Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Well, looks like you can't make a poll among GD fans because they always end up choosing Jesus of Suburbia...
amdr182 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 This is getting tougher! This tournament made me realise how much I enjoy Billie Joe's solos and I guess this makes my choices tougher to make.
The Disappearing Boy Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm not even sure of the criteria I'm using to decide. It generally just seems to be the solo I like more, though that tends to be complex solos over melodic ones, but that's not always the case. BJ is the king of melodic solos.
DannyDirnt Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Worry Rock, Holiday, Know Your Enemy, Paper Lanterns and Kill the DJ are my favorites in the round
FatVince Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 For me, it's hard to decide between Stray Heart vs. Dry Ice. I love this fast solo on Dry Ice but I think the Stray Heart one completely fits the song. I also really love the Kill The DJ one. On the other hand, I don't consider some chosen solos as proper solos (X-Kid, Stop When the Red Lights Flash, Hitchin' a Ride).
Comic Sans Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 My votes: Easily Judge's Daughter Kinda hard but Paper Lanterns Although my heart has broken for voting against Makeout Party, I went with Troublemaker Hard. Stray Heart was a difficult choice. Veeeeeery easy. Static Age vs. 99 Rev? Oh, come on. Static Age FTW Only Of You, obviously. Misery Hitchin' a Ride. It took me half a second to choose. Hard, very hard. Went with Waiting. I'm so sorry for X-Kid, but American Idiot outclasses it all over the place. Scumbag. Letterbomb got a good solo, but I love the Scumbad one 21 Guns easily won this one. Sweet 16. More emotional. Undoubtely, Holiday. Fuck Time's solo is 3 times best than SWTRF's one. One For The Razorbacks is one of my all-time favourites solos, it easily won. Are you kidding me? No one will ever vote against DRB's epic solo. The Grouch wins this round. Give Me Novacaine. Nuff' said. Nuclear Family all over the place. You guys simply can't make me choose between RHS and LYG, but I chose LYG anyway, although it was really hard. Jesus of Suburbia was very easy to choose.
DannyDirnt Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Always hated the solo in Restless Heart Syndrome. A long ass solo just to hear the boring chorus once.
DecanoLP Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 1039 solos beat everything they've done so far. Dry Ice, Only of You, Judge's Daughter and all that stuff... AMAZING!
