Random Green Day Thoughts

Still Breathing
Revolution Radio
 

...


Bang Bang

[Maddie86]

Still Breathing probably would have made a better title track than Revolution Radio. I wonder if they considered that at all

I think Revolution Radio the song is kinda mediocre compared to bang bang and still breathing.

I feel the same way. I don't  listen to it as much compared to the other 2 songs.

[Libertine Angel]

I'd rank them:

Bang Bang

 

 

Revolution Radio

 

 

 

Still Breathing

Bang Bang

I posted mine as this too. Cannot believe I agree with you on something.

[Denice]

For me it's

1. Still Breathing

2. Revolution Radio

3. Bang Bang

 

It used to be Bang Bang before Revolution Radio, but Revolution Radio has really grown on me lately.

I'm surprised that a lot of you like RevRad more that Bang Bang. I think BB is a far better song than RR.

Absolutely, I've listened to RevRad maybe five times in total but I had Bang Bang on loop for hours after it came out.

[solongfromthestars]

Think I'd rank them 1. Still Breathing, 2. Bang Bang, 3. RevRad. I do like RevRad a lot but I've definitely listened to it the least and it has the weakest lyrics of the three. I'm sure everyone knows how I feel about Still Breathing by now

They should really play Church on Sunday during the tour.

I wish I could like this more.  I consider Church on Sunday the greatest love song ever written.

Last Night on Earth is good too, but I still think too that Church on Sunday is their most original and genuine love song ever. Warning has a lot of great songs besides Minority which deserve a spot on the setlist.

Agreed. They should do more songs from Warning. 

I think the song Warning would fit nicely on the set list because of its lyrics, which are quite topical considering what's going on in America. I.e ''caution: police line, you better not cross''.

Agreed. People often forget how topical and societal the lyrics on some Warning songs (Warning, Misery, Minority, Macy's Day Parade) are. It's pity Warning got kinda disregarded after the release of AI, because the lyrics are still the best they've ever written besides AI and 21CB. We wouldn't have gotten AI without Warning.

I really love Warning, Macy's Day Parade is one of my favourite song, again, love the lower register.  Fantastic through ear phones!

"Is the cop or am I the one that's really dangerous?" Yes, that's horrifyingly relevant right now. 

[Libertine Angel]

Warning really is fantastic, there's not any single song I can point to that stands out on it because they're all brilliant in their own way.

Was listening to Green Day on shuffle last night and No One Knows and Before the Lobotomy played back to back. Never noticed before that their guitar intros were actually pretty similar. 

[Steven Seagull]

Where do you rank RevRad? My list:

1. Dookie
2. Nimrod
3. Warning
4. ¡Uno!
5. ¡Tre!
6. Kerplunk
7. Insomniac
8. ¡Dos!
9. 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
10. Revolution Radio
11. American Idiot
12. 21st Century Breakdown.

I had a dream that I was listening to the album in the car with my dad, and then when I was redecorating my room. It was bizarre in its normalcy. Anyway, looks like this album has wormed its way into my dreams already!

No One Knows is played on bass.  I can see some similarity in the two, but they're also very different, at least to my ear.

Hm I'm not so happy about the fact that people post about the leaked RevRad album everywhere now. Don't you have a subforum for that? I don't want to listen to the leak, I'm waiting for my copy on CD, so I think until October 7th I'm out of here.

But I also have a random Green Day thought because I don't want to go off topic As I said, I won't listen to the leak, right now I'm just so happy and grateful for the three wonderful songs they gave us so far. Sometimes I think that I could just sit here - listening to the three songs (especially "Still Breathing"), knowing that my favourite band is hitting the road again and that they're happy and healthy - and that would be enough. I'm really, really happy about that and I'm unable to put into words how proud I am to be their fan. Prouder than ever before in my life. Have fun with the album and the shows in the next couple of days, I'll read you in October
