Anaïs. Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 St. Jimmy is the song that made me want to play guitar. Oddly enough, I haven't even tried to learn it. It's the first rock song I learned for piano precisely because of what Ceadog just said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, you can also play Blitzkrieg Bop. And Welcome To Paradise if you play it backwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdlyon Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So apparently it's an unpopular opinion but I fucking love how fast they play St. Jimmy now. I've always loved really fast punk songs like that and I think it sounds awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Not in the slightest. I dunno, I'm a sucker for melody and that one just doesn't appeal to me. It was my favourite song on AI when it first came out, but it wore thin faster than any other track on there. I swear to god i could've written this post. I love the ending of the song. The beginning isn't bad but it doesn't do much for me. Not worth the spot on the set list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't even know why they'd want to play St Jimmy. The ending is good but before that it's pretty weak. Because Billie gets to run around the stage being his badass alter ego! He clearly loves and relishes playing that role. It's probably quite fun for all the band to play a song really fast too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I thought that Jason White being boring and average was the most popular opinion on GDC. I even started a GDC meme about it. I don't think I've seen that meme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't think I've seen that meme There's a small handful of people who've been stating that opinion about him and making jokes based on it for the last few months on GDC, not sure it qualifies as a meme or even a real opinion in most cases.

Hermione Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Jason White jokes are hilarious, okay. Some of them are . Wouldn't call them a genuine indication of GDC's collective opinion of Jason White though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Nimrod Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I listened to St. Jimmy from Irving Plaza and BIAB and WOAH. It sounds so much better slow. Plus, his voice is fab in BIAB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brain Stew is his best vocal on there. I'm in the minority in preferring is BIAB vocals to his AAF vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
