I mentioned it in another thread, but I love the way he says "La Jolla" in "Spike."

The way Billie rolls his R while singing "serenade" in peacemaker, like this if you agree 

I love the whisper at the start.

So are we listing all the times Billie sounds good now...? *rolls up sleeves*

Just been to see "It" and spent more time appreciating the late 80s outcast teenager aesthetic and picturing our young punk friends living in that era, than being scared

How about the entirely of red tide from the tubbies

No, the bleeding in Drama Queen is a metaphor, on the contrary Red Tide is a metaphor for a period.

I spent most of my time trying not to disrupt the theater by bursting out into fits of laughter at every "spooky" scene. That film was an embarrassment to horror movies.

Billie sure makes periods fun

One of my best friends said this exact same thing about it smh

Yeah, don't think it's the worst I've seen (not gonna lie I get visuals stuck in my head easily ) but not nearly as scary as I feared. I actually thought if they'd just removed the horror elements of the plot it would've worked better simply as a sort of coming of age drama/comedy. So that made it overall enjoyable to me at least.

[The Grohl]

IT is not scary but I really enjoyed the film. I was happy it wasn't all jumpscares which is what I was afraid of. Bill Skarsgard did a pretty good job though I wasn't fully happy with the design of pennywise. I thought the film was fun and and all the kids were great. The music? Too on the nose. The 80s songs felt like they were there to remind you this was happening in the 80s.

Could just be the monday blues or something deeper (which would make this belong more in some other thread I guess) but I think I'm coming down with some kind of post tour depression. It's really frustrating that I can't find the words to describe it, but when I watch them perform it's the most intense I've ever felt about anything and I just crashed this morning crying like a pathetic little shit at BOBD from GC, which might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It just made me so emotional and inexplicably sad. It's been ten months since I rediscovered the guys and went from casual to die hard fan, it almost feels wrong to say it when so many of you have been with them for so long, but it's been the (worst and) best ten months and every day I love them more and more.

 

This reminds me of one of the saddest but most beautiful quotes: "You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place. Like you'll not only miss the people you love, but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again." 

This era has been one of the most special times in my life. My entire life has felt full and happy this year for many reasons, but I'm sure having my favorite guys back in my life has a whole lot to do with it. The intimacy of this album and this tour has been like nothing else. And I don't want to forget how special this past year has made me feel. After 12 years of loving this band, this was the point I felt like me and the band had finally grown into each other perfectly, if that makes any sense. Falling in love all over again as an adult with the band who got you through grade school is pretty damn magical.

Oh jeez, I feel this so much. After the 21CB era I thought my passion for the band had reached its peak and that I was losing interest (stopped coming here, stopped keeping track of what the band were doing) but RevRad brought it all back and it was even stronger. And I do think it had to do with my state of mind as well. When 21CB came out I had just finished my exams at school, I was doing regular walks and eating healthily and going out with friends and life was pretty good. During the trilogy I was at Uni and I ended up hating my course, and I'd also discovered other fandoms which took over Green Day during that era. But this era arrived at a time when things have been going well which must make a difference somehow. And it's even better than 21CB because I've actually made friends here upon my return

I totally get this - although for me it's kind of the opposite from what you and @Jenn. are describing. I'm feeling hugely appreciative of the Rev Rad era happening and the fandom entering my life exactly when they did because it's been an otherwise pretty shitty year in a number of ways. I don't even want to think about what it would've been like without the music, joy, passion and community that comes along with following them. Guess I'm one wave behind you in the cycle - although I don't plan to leave

I think the problem for me is that when things are shitty, I find myself less able to enjoy things that make me happy - but I do understand the escapism music and fandom bring.

Yeah but Billie still manages to make it sexy . To be fair other than the reference in the title it's really about PMS/the emotional effect of a period and not the blood . Plus guys not being silly and squeamish about periods = 

Oh what about the whole "Oh bless me lord for I have sinned..." part of East Jesus Nowhere?

Yeah, I know. I don't have a problem with it at all, I like Red Tide and I agree it's pretty cool coming from a guy.

Yes! And "protest me, second guess me..." is just as good

Just watched Bullet in a Bible and after all these years, it's just so strange to see them without Jeff Matika!!!

[Christian's Inferno!]

Listened to Shenanigans for the first time in ages. It's not my favourite GD album of course, but it still has some great songs!
