Same. I was listening to GD on shuffle today and Platypus came on, followed by F.O.D, followed by Let Yourself Go. It was absolute heaven.

On the subject of angry GD, is it just me that finds that Nightlife is a good song to listen to when you're angry (and pls don't make any wisecracks about it not being a good song to listen to at all)? Like, it's not a particularly angry song itself, but if I listen to it when I'm angry, it has the same kinda calming effect that songs like Horseshoes and Handgrenades or Take Back have.

I agree but for a different reason.  I think it’s actually a very dark song and sounds dangerous. “My little Angel of Death is my nightlife” 💀

So aside from the trilogy, every album from Warning until RevRad has been named after a song on the album. They toyed around with the idea during insomniac though, I've read that the album was going to be called "Tight Wad Hill" at one point. Also, the song Brain Stew was originally titled "Insomniac", so technically Brain Stew is the title track for that album in a way. It just has me wondering if maybe nimrod had a song on there that was originally called "nimrod" and it was going to have a title track. Probably not, but it's definitely a random thought I had earlier

Yeah, and for Warning, AI and 21st CB it's the 1st song of each album that gave the name, while on RevRad it's the third.

Imagine if RevRad was named Somewhere Now instead ?

Honestly I see no problem with that at all.

Actually now that I think about it I think it'd suit the album better, from what I remember of it the album's themes definitely focus more on looking back at the past and seeing the present through that lens than on the overtly political stuff that the title would imply.

I think they looked like Ed Ed and Eddy when they were in the dookie and insomniac era 🤣

I remember someone suggesting it should've been called that when it came out and I agree wholeheartedly! They have a thing for bigging up their political side (eg the 99 Revolutions tour named after the one solitary political song out of 37 which didn't represent what those albums were at all), plus Billie said Rev Rad was his favourite song and does seem to genuinely be more excited for their political songs even when he hasn't written that many, and it's kind of their brand now so it makes sense for marketing too. But I think Somewhere Now would've been both a more appropriate representation of what the album is and just a more interesting title that might've given people a different perspective on the album and band than such a standard/expected this century's Green Day political sounding one.

I had to google what that was, omg . I think they looked like Bill and Ted in the 39/Smooth/Kerplunk era

I can't get Uptown Girl out of my head.  I think my Billy Joel and Billie Joe wires somehow got crossed.

I've come to the conclusion that I can't physically function unless I watch Jaded in Chicago at least once a day. Especially that performance of Going to Pasalacqua.

Listened to UNO this morning on the drive to work and longed for summertime.

Excellent choice, one of my favourites of Going to Pasalacqua is in Florida, it's a crazy audience and Billie with dreads......

That shouldn’t even be a question lol...

Well you could win a piece of Tre Cool (fragment of bone from a knee operation) by writing a haiku at one point so seems fairly valid

The person who won it should admit they have it because tbh sometimes I think of the fact that most probably one of us in this fandom has it keeps it as a secret and that's kinda unsettling.

While I'm all for new threads being made for GD stuff, if you just want to make a joke about something that really has nothing to do with GD it would be better suited to Random Green Day Thoughts just fyi. So I've moved it here.

Why not Green Day memes?
