Blasphemy & Genocide: Unpopular Green Day Opinions, Part 2

[JOE THE X-KID]

Vocals do.

I'd actually say it was one of the best on shenanigans, like Hermione said very dark and twisted. Different to Green Days usual. I dunno I'm just a sucker for a dark song.

[Hermione]

oh wait.... after reading this you'll laugh to your greatest extent. i was talking about "On The Wagon", not ROTTING!!

Well then . I do like it in On The Wagon very much, fits the weird country/jazzy vibe of the song nicely.

yup.. it was an unexpected song!

[Spike]

I love how dark the vocals at lyrics are in Rotting, yet the guitar riff and general sound of the guitar in the beginning is so cheerful. A really interesting contrast.

Same kind of thing as Stray Heart I guess, with the high up minor chords.

Or, yknow, Springsteen's entire career.

[Backyard Skulls]

Rotting is my favourite song from shenanigans. Billie has such a dark voice there and they way he sings "whisper are you dying in my ear". Scumbag and suffocate are probably 2 and 3.

Yeah the whole production thing would be cool to get into but like Tom says once you study something it kills any love you had for it. I can't now look at posters or logos without noticing flaws

[Sauli]

Shenanigans is very inconsistent but it is obvious since it is a collection, but it has some real gems. Like the cover of Tired of Waiting for You that doesn't pale at all when compared to the original (though Ray was a better singer ), or Ha Ha You're Dead or On the Wagon or Rotting.

[The Disappearing Boy]

Same kind of thing as Stray Heart I guess, with the high up minor chords.

Or, yknow, Springsteen's entire career.

And for Lazy Bones too, high up with minor chords. It's a well-worn trick, but is good if it's done well.

What do you mean?

[Backyard Skulls]

What do you mean?

I study graphic design so we have to analyse other designers work, like logos/posters/typography etc. So I can't help noticing flaws in stuff I see

Well thank me for not posting my awful photoshop work you'd probally have a heart attack lol

[Bastard of 1969]

Well then . I do like it in On The Wagon very much, fits the weird country/jazzy vibe of the song nicely.

Doesn't sound to me anything like country/jazzy vibe. More like blues, some relaxing shit and stuff.

I think blues is probably the word I was looking for there , was stuck on how to describe it.

It's not even blues

Punk-Jazz sounds like it would essentially be Ska which already exists.

"Punk-Blues" again another genre already established in Cowpunk which is a broader term for country/blues infused punk music.

Not punk exactly.

I think "Defy your judgment and demons and save your last goodbye" (from State Of Shock) are some of the best lines from the whole trilogy

[The Disappearing Boy]

I think "Defy your judgment and demons and save your last goodbye" (from State Of Shock) are some of the best lines from the whole trilogy

I think that 'we all want to go to heaven but no-one wants to die' is one of the best lines of the Trilogy - and they didn't even write it

[Bastard of 1969]

I think "Defy your judgment and demons and save your last goodbye" (from State Of Shock) are some of the best lines from the whole trilogy

It's definitely the best. Because the rest of the trilogy is like:

"Hey! I like your BMW!"

[Hermione]

Well about 3 seconds of it is anyway

Seriously though most of the trilogy isn't silly/nonsense lines, they're the exception. All kinds of more thoughtful/serious/intelligent stuff in there too.
