Mayonaise Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 That makes sense really. I'm all for being a completist but I don't understand the appeal of "here, have an album of songs that weren't good enough to go on an album." But then I guess they did that with Dos, so... 2 Quote

UNICORN VOMIT Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I have no idea why but Jeff Daniels reminds me of Tre I can see that. Quote
WhiteTim Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I can see that. He was on Tonight Show tonight and I had the TV muted I looked up was like "wow a older Tre Cool has came back to the past to do Fallon" Quote
Oxymore Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I still can't understand Nightlife. After two years, yes. Quote

WhiteTim Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 We get that show here - I watch it sometimes - I just don't find it very funny. I don't really watch it I was watching the news had it muted when I was typing something up and looked up at the tv when I was done with my computer Quote
Libertine Angel Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I still can't understand Nightlife. After two years, yes. That's fine, it's best not to try and just pretend it doesn't exist. 3 Quote
Iva Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 The best obscure Green Day thing from the early days is the song with Penelope Houston on vocals. Quote

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Shenanigans is a vastly underrated album in general. I agree in a lot of ways, for instance I absolutely love "Desensitized" and I don't no why. BUT, I don't think that Shenanigans as a whole has the best potential to be a studio album. I do really like it though Quote
Mayonaise Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 So, I was watching Cuatro. (It's awesome.) In one scene Billie Joe says something about how he had to write lyrics for 18 songs for Nimrod. Technically, this is false. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was written years before Dookie came out, "Haushinka" was a demo for Dookie (along with "J.A.R."), and of course, "Last Ride In" was an instrumental song. Any other ones I missed? Quote

Any other ones I missed? He doesn't even remember the year Nimrod came out. We can count together the Nimrod's b-sides, so this way we have the 18 tracks he mentioned. Also, he just said that he has to finish the lyrics on studio, and not written down on studio Quote
Maid Meringue Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) A long ass time ago (I think on here) someone said "this bitter pill is Jason White" and literally for the last 4 years since, I can't hear anything else. Confession: I grew up as a lonely kid, so for years I used to fall asleep to BIAB and American Idiot on repeat with this little walkman DVD player. Hearing the crowd cheer and sing together made the world feel a lot smaller. I'm 21 now and when I'm feeling too sick to fall asleep, I still have to put AI on. That being said, it's hard for me to listen to the album now without becoming sleepy...oops. Edited November 12, 2014 by Maid Meringue Quote
Spoopy Doo Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I believe at least some of Scattered was already really old by then, but I might be wrong. I forget where I read it, but I'm pretty sure the chorus and first verse were written around the time Kerplunk was being written. Quote
DookieLukie Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 May just be a fad, but I'm seriously considering putting Stop Drop and Roll in the #2 slot on my list of best Green Day albums. Quote
Iva Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 So, I just found something - a collage-comic I made in May 1998. It's about Billie and me fighting monsters in Egypt, where we arrived at Boris Yeltsin's call for Albanian intellectuals. It makes sense. 3 Quote

Maid Meringue Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Does nobody care about The Influents anymore? I can't even find a thread for them. Life and Life Only is one of my favorite songs. I hadn't heard it in about 5 years and this summer I found it on youtube again and truthfully, spent a good 10 minutes sobbing. 2 Quote

Backyard Skulls Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I was trying to think what the network's music reminded me of and I realised it's kinda like the music from the SNES game Earthbound Quote
loveblondiebilliejoe Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Ever since I first saw the "King for a Day" live peformance(yknow...THE ONE). Every time I hear that song it makes me think of guys in their underwear dancing. Sexual tension??? Quote
