Random Green Day Thoughts

[The Grohl]

My favorite misheard lyric is from Ashley. Instead of hearing "are you crying on my cold shoulder" I heard "are you crying on Michael Jordan" 😂

[sergiewoo]

does this count...? (sorry to break the misheard lyric chain. continue it if you want over me)

i love and hate how conflicting my music taste is now. im into three bands mainly at the moment.

green day (duh), silverchair, and korn.

and recently i've been liking heavier songs in general. so i was gonna play chi by korn once i finished an update with my music player, but then i accidentally put on a heavy-ish green day song and then i went "yeah no fuck korn". like no serge you just wanted to play them for a change  

green day is all that lives with me now i guess. including a bit of silverchair, but it's mainly green day. jesus...

I guess this is normal.😂 I sometimes also try to listen to other bands but usually not for long… Doesn’t work.

My favorite miss heard lyric is from Nuclear Family, where instead of hearing "I just want some action so give me my turn" I hear "I just want some action so give me Mike Dirnt"

And When I Come Around - "Make sure you do with Mike"

I’ve always heard ‘I blame the fool whose stable smells so bad’ in Words I Might Have Ate and I realised I don’t even know what the real lyric is. It’s ‘I blame the fool whose stable soul’s gone bad.’ Kind of disappointed it's not as far off as I thought.

93.1 in Chicago is the goat for playing the song Warning on the radio right now 

[Psycho Britney]

A great misheard lyric courtesy of my sister and nephew: "Coffee and cyanide for llamas in disgrace"!🤣 She asked me one day, what did the llamas ever do to Billie? I was like what?! She then explained how they had misheard the lyrics in 1981 and had to Google them. I now sing llamas instead of lovers because once you hear it, you can't unhear it! You're all welcome!😉😅

Another misheard lyric courtesy of my dad. He thought the 'woahhh-oh Christian's Inferno' during the chorus was 'woahhh-oh big shit inferno'. The worst thing is I can hear it now 😂

That's the thing you see. This is what happened to me 30 years ago. Once the GD sound touches you, it surrounds you, enters you and flows through your veins. Other bands just can't come close. There's no escape, resistance is futile. It's a commitment for life 'till the end of time. You so lucky. Just enjoy.

And if I may say, I'm so happy for you and proud of you.

Yeah, near the beginning, I strictly listened to Green Day because I was OBSESSED with them when I first heard them. They opened doors to so many more bands to be though. So nowadays I listen to soooo many bands. I am listening to a lot of Silverstein, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, and As I Lay Dying atm. If anyone else is into metalcore on here, please let me know because as far as I know, I am like the only one  

 

Btw, great picks, @sergiewoo.

My obsession is still very much here!😆 It’s a bit different when live shows are concerned. I love live music and go to shows of many bands (mostly punk, also „smaller“ bands). But when listening to music at home I always return to GD very quickly. It’s a kind of addiction… And the fandom‘s enthusiasm fuels that addiction (looking at you @Dingle 😉). But I love that and would never want to change it. It makes me happy.😊

Same here metal/metalcore was my 2nd most listened to genre! You should check out bad omens or From ashes to new, both excellent

OMG THANK YOU  I thought I was the only one!! I've listened to Bad Omens and liked them, but I have never heard of From Ashes to New. I'll check them out.

Rather lose sleep over a thought like that than something negative. 😄

My first place would also be the 21st CB Billie, as in the 21st CB video! Second place would be the classical American Idiot Billie; the level of iconicness is umatched. Third place for me would be the trilogy Billie, mostly because "¡Tre!" Has been my favorite album for years and I really enjoy the trilogy-aesthetic. :'D

What an amazing question, but so so difficult to answer. There's so many times to choose from, this band's live shows and Billie Joe's songwriting has been so consistent and awesome over past 30+ years.

First has to be when I fell in love with GD through Kerplunk and seeing them live for first time at Wigan in Dec' '91.

 Of the many live shows I've been to, two  I'll never forget, 21st Century Breakdown tour at Wembley Stadium and AI tour at Milton Keynes. 2=

@Dingle I have such envy for those who saw them anywhere during AI…but Milton Keynes… fabulous, lucky you.  Favourite era, got to be 21CBD (anyone who visits the fangirl thread will know I just adore that era when Billie wore the stiped pants 🔥🔥🔥) and AI which I can’t choose one over the other.  Going with Saviors too as it’s been a great tour , Billie is aging better than fine wine and it’s been great to see them all looking well and loving the tour.
