Random Green Day Thoughts

Was on my way out this evening and heard Still Breathing on the radio as well. Then on our way back, about an hour and a half later, the same station played it again. It's starting!

Same here, Italy, on Virgin Radio, Still Breathing is played a lot!

So, my sister doesn't quite get why I like Green Day.

So, I showed her some of their live performances on YouTube. Seriously, some of her comments gave me life...

"Oh, come on, does that Billie Jean guy have to go "heeey-oh" every two minutes?"

"How many times in a day can those poor schmucks go "fuckin' crayyyzeeey"?"

"Oh, ok this King For A Day thing is like a weirdo ritual where they have to embarrass themselves in front of millions of people, huh?"

"That drummer has more facial expressions than I have in my entire life!"

"Can't quite figure out whether that Billie Jean guy is crying coz of the mascara in his eyes, or just sweating though his eyelids (which can't happen, and would be gross if it did, really)"

"Does this guy have blond or brown or black hair or what?'

"That bunny getup is kinda creepy, you know"

"Those guys should really try out for high jump in the olympics ..."

and so on...

This is the only sentence I can write down after another boring day of school.

That blackboard, once full of numbers, now has a meaning.

These are pretty much my thoughts watching their performances  (eg biab).

Sorry

Don't ever be sorry about feeling like a cello, please! It's only human, we all feel like cellos sometimes. Let me offer an online hug - school sucks

Their merch is so ugly.

Some of it is really cool, glad I found this hoodie without that horrible mustard colour though

I must be in a minority about this but I actually like the mustard hoodie. It's too expensive so I'm not thinking of buying it but it's the nicest piece of their merch imo.

You have educated the world in the way of the cello!

 

In other news I paid 90p for a can of cherry Coke just so I could make a reference to one of my least favourite Green Day songs

I think I have a problem

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Starry nights, cola cans coming down on me?

Cherry coke and surgery?

Youngblood she's my cherry cola

I think it's more of a female colour to be honest, probably wouldn't look so bad on females. Definitely getting the one linked above, just another one to add to the collection of black hoodies I have haha

I like it as well. Most hoodies tend to be black so my thought when I purchased it was "who else will have a mustard yellow hoodie?"

[RedundantIdiot]

Has anyone here actually bought one of those freaky masks that the band have been wearing recently?

[St. Jonny]

I was planning on ordering one for Halloween, but alas, didn't get to it in time. Maybe next year if they still have them. I am thinking of ordering some of their coffee though, really excited to try it!

I don't know, I like that color on guys as well. Not sure how about hoodies but it definitely looks good on pants. Anyway, I'm partial to that color because I believe look good in it

Exactly, it's an unusual color. I wasn't sure when I got a mustard yellow jacket but it's quickly became my favorite. It goes very good with other colors I like too. (burgundy, dark green, grey...)

I'd try the coffee too. Unfortunately, my hipster career is on a break since my coffee grinder broke.

That is one of the most uncomfortable sentences I've ever read.

It's effectively describing one of the most disturbing concert photos I've seen!

So good to be in the same country with them for a while.

So random, but I was listening to "X Kid", my favorite from the Trilogy and thought how perfect that song would have been on Revolution Radio, with that mixing, engineering, and in the thematic context of Revolution. It's just a great song and it got lost in the incoherent, underproduced jumble of the Trilogy. It would have fit perfectly on Revolution Radio. Just my opinion.

Yeah, revrad production would suit it. It would make a lot of trilogy songs better imo.

X-Kid was the best song on the entire trilogy IMO. It didn't do well on the radio back in 2013. Maybe today it would be different.

I liked Trilogy a lot, production included. But RevRad one is better, except Outlaws. X-Kid in a RR light would be perfect.

I didn't know x-kid was a single!

Outlaws is awesome. It's one of my faves off revrad.

Yeah, it is. It peaked just 35th on the alternative US chart.

I like Outlaws very much. I meant I don't like its production.

For example I don't feel comfortable in the first verse, it looks like drums is faded. In fact my favourite part is the second verse, where every instruments is clear. Oh, and the bass is simple but awesome...

I won one on a radio contest lol, it should be here in a few days

But I don't think I'd buy one, they're to expensive.
