Random Green Day Thoughts


Recommended Posts

Redundant and Prosthetic Head both got “wide mixes” back in the day and it always puzzled me. Why in 1997 would you create a mix specifically dedicated to a wide soundstage mix? 
 

Car stereos. 
 

Mid-late ‘90’s is when CD players in cars started to become prevalent and unlike most hi-fi setups or even computer speakers, car stereos are wide by their very nature because of the speaker’s position in the doors. Makes sense to experiment with mixing towards that at the time.

imo rather than only releasing Prosthetic Head in Germany and making Nice Guys its own single for some unknown reason, they should have just made Prosthetic Head and Nice Guys 1 combined single with like, 1 or 2 studio outtakes (Full band Alison and DUI?)

How much of Green Day's catalogue do you know the words to?  I don't know some parts of 39 and Kerplunk and there's maybe a word or two off Insomniac that  I get wrong, but all their other albums and songs I could recite verbatim.     Let's see what you guys got.  

surprisingly i probably don't know even more than 5. the only ones i can recall are longview, king for a day, and jaded, despite the fact that i fixate on one of their songs plenty of times and long enough time to know the lyrics to it.

maybe it could be because i'm a fairly fresh green days fan, but when i first got into soad, i pretty much knew their entire discography in less than a year. oh well! :mellow:

doing the inspect element equivalent to making silly edits of songs to some setlists makes me wonder how many great setlists bootleggers are truly gatekeeping from the general public (full Prauge 96, Bottom of the Hill 99, the show where American Idiot and JOS debuted, etc etc)

I am just now hearing the insane amount of handclaps on Father of All 🤣  

All the singles and Graffitia are jam packed with non-stop clapping.   

It's the perfect crime.

True! I think it’s funny!

To say it with Monty Python: And now for something completely different…😂
