Chin for a Day Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I don't know, some kind of group therapy to ease the tensions bewteen the members I had read one article, just one that stated it was Billie that forced them to talk. The article said he made them sit down every day and just talk, not about music, just talk. I question the validity of it in general. It sounded like total BS when I read it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haushinka! Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just watched "100 Greatest Songs of the 90's" on VH1. Green Day's Good Riddance got the 37th spot. I'm kinda surprised they didn't go with Longview or Basket Case, but I guess GR is more popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah what guys sit down & just talk - that would mean communicating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've got all my music on shuffle and 16 just came on. I forgot how good this song is. i first heard that song at 14, and now at 21 I can still relate to it. I feel as though, despite the song title, it should be considered one of the many "timeless" green day songs, as it can apply to pretty much anyone at any age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haushinka! Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Listening to Governator for the first time in ages. I don't care what anyone says, this song fucking rocks. Wish Mike sang more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 ^ whenever I think of Mike on vocals, my mind automatically goes to this Does he do any lead vox in The Frustrators? Unfortunately in 8 years I've only listened to like 2 of their songs -__- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziebix Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Gotta wonder how many songs billie has lying around. Maybe not a lot of full, flushed out songs but I bet he has hundreds and hundreds of bits of songs/music and lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziebix Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah that's what I meant. Wonder if he uses a filing system By key? By topic? By how many swear words he can smash into one line? How would you even file bits of lyrics and/or music? Maybe it's just in a notebook; or many notebooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrduckygoosy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Why the hell was Lights Out just a b-side? For the same reason Billie Joe says 99 Revolutions is one of the best song he has ever written and Horseshoes and Handgrenades almost never made the album because he thinks it sucks.

I vote for post it notes all over the placeFor the same reason Billie Joe says 99 Revolutions is the best song he has ever written and Horseshoes and Handgrenades almost never made the album because he thinks it sucks. We actually went through this awhile back. The Rolling Stone interview says that 99 revolutions is one of the best, not the best. I was wrong on that too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
