Spike Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I always think it's a shame that it doesn't actually say the phrase "Green Day" in that song. It would be awesome and hilarious to hear them perform it live if it did. Bet they would've been more likely to perform it live more often if it did as well. I've always loved how Billie changed "got my Kiss records out" to "got my Green Day records out" when they covered Surrender at the Warfield. I guess that's the next best thing. 1 Quote
alexandra_1039 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Random thought that is in a way green day related: anyone ever been to a Gilman show? I'm going to my first one when I visit the Bay Area over spring break in a couple weeks. if so, whats it like?! Another question: I know its known for "all ages" and all that stuff but in all seriousness would it be weird to bring my 13 year old sister? too young? Quote

Anaïs. Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Does anyone else worry that the trilogy may be the last big Green Day albums? Actually, if anything 21CB would be, as the Trilogy absolutely faceplanted in terms of sales. Check out the old Unpopular Opinions thread to see me and Ceadog being the lone voices of reason and arguing that GD will break up within the next five years; it's kinda related to this. Quote
Oxymore Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Does anyone else worry that the trilogy may be the last big Green Day albums? I don't think so. I have that feeling, that the next album, post rehab, will be huge. That said, I may be completely wrong Quote
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 There's something quite special about Billie's palm muting. He locks in so tightly with Mike and Tre, and his dynamics are so consistent, that it's actually incredibly difficult to replicate. It's a very underrated skill, because in theory it's so simple. Absolutely. I've never been able to get the hang of the strumming pattern at the beginning of Basket Case. It's ridiculous but so good! Quote

Basket Case is a weird one. It feels like it should be doing one thing when in reality it does something slightly different. Quote
Anaïs. Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I only just now realized that the gibberish Billie is screeching at the end of "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades" is actually "G-L-O-R-I-A!" and oh my god that makes the song so much better. 1 Quote

If anything it makes it worse. I don't know why I don't like that song, coz it's not far away from being decent, but I just can't bring myself to like it. Quote
halfempty Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 A thought about the Trilogy...I actually feel really bad for the guys that all three releases were a flop. When you see them making the album's they look like they genuinely love the music, that they are really into what they are doing. It must have been a hurtful letdown. Quote

Check out the old Unpopular Opinions thread to see me and Ceadog being the lone voices of reason and arguing that GD will break up within the next five years; it's kinda related to this. I think the guys still have a lot more to give, thats why I worry that because of the trilogy not being as successful as theyd hoped, they might call it quits. I enjoyed your 'debate' guys lol you both have interesting points P.s I dont like what Ceadog said about Tre. Quote

Yeah, I think this sometimes, too.... But remember, Billie Joe said in RS last year that he didn't consider it as a failure. Even if yes, I think they were a bit deceived though.. But when I see all thes real fans during the 99revolutions tour, with banners and signs of ''we're proud of you'', and that's what matters Ramdom thought, speaking of which, I freaking love this interview. 1 Quote

alexandra_1039 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Adding on to the Rolling Stone interview, it's such a deep, serious interview and then out of nowhere ends with "i love rootbeer." 1 Quote

Yes!! Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is one of my favourite songs from 21CB. So full of energy. Side note - I didn't really like the trilogy. I think the guys had a really good time making the albums, but the songs didn't have much substance to me. I was excited for some demos on Demolicious, but now I know they're from the trilogy sessions I'm a bit less excited Quote
WhiteTim Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Barq's Root Beer is the best... In the heyday of my soda addiction I could easily go thru 4-5 12-packs of Barq's Quote
Oxymore Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I wanna hear more about ''Ruby Mae'', this sounded really good in Cuatro... 1 Quote
Spoopy Doo Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I wanna hear more about ''Ruby Mae'', this sounded really good in Cuatro... I forgot about Ruby Mae until now Quote
Oxymore Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I forgot about Ruby Mae until now Me too... It's because I re-watched Cuatro just before, and I searched if there was a cover of this demo, and I found it. Sounds really good. I hope we could hear it entirely someday.. Quote
