Harry Potter. Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I hate how on the digital version of American Idiot (on iTunes, Spotify, etc.) like half of the songs are joined and listed as one track. For instance, Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams is one track. I realize that they transition into each other but I would still prefer it if they were separate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I know they demoed Haushinka for Dookie, but damn they really perfected that song for nimrod, I'm bummed they never played the nimrod version out on tour. There's even video of a live show on the Warning tour where someone requested the song and Billie said "I like that song... but we're not gunna play it" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Listening to 21CB must involve massively turning up the volume in the short gap between the drums at the end of the intro and the guitar to make a proper crescendo. I may also be deafening myself but it's worth it. Before the Lobotomy needs the same thing too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought it would be a good idea to accompany with whiskey shots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb question here, but where is it playing? We just don't follow musical theatre at all. My thing 2 is only into opera! But after reading about it on here, I'd like to see it!!

Stefano Bras Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The trilogy is brilliant and most people I've met that hate it are knobs (unpopular opinion?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is... the trilogy reminds me of a really pleasant time in my life, everytime I hear songs like Stray Heart, Wild One or Sweet 16 I just get the shivers. I don't think they are bad albums, at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike them either, they're overproduced (Demolicious sounds much better) and I haven't listened to Nightlife since 2012 but on the whole they're decent enough.

I really couldn't care less about the production. I mean, you're right, it could be better if it had less filters and stuff but either way.. it has it's own sound which I absolutely love. Nightlife is different but I enjoy the bass line and most of the time I love when they experiment (Take Back ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trilogy is the least produced albums GD has done since the Lookout albums Green Day using clean tones has nothing to do with the actual production also instead of using the close up mics to the amps they used the room mics which has nothing with being overproduced Yes the vocal filters should've been adjusted to fit the sound as they used the same amount for AI and 21st which fit fine with the dirty loud tone those albums had 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I love Nightlife. It's a really fun song. I can't wait until they tour so I can get pulled on stage to sing the Lady Cobra part. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
