Libertine Angel Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Foxboro Hot Tubs and Pinhead Gunpowder are the best side projects. This has made me try and work out whether I prefer Pinhead Gunpowder or The Frustrators, and it's one of the hardest questions I've ever had to think about.

It has to be Pinhead for me, can't beat Aaron's writing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It has to be Pinhead for me, can't beat Aaron's writing. I think they win, but not by much - I think part of it is simply that they've done a lot more than The Frustrators, so there's more to compare. And yeah, Aaron writes a good song (though I'm really not a fan of his vocals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually Billie or Jason and I can recognize their voices, isn't it band members other than Aaron singing at other times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does a few songs on Jump Salty, but not much (I could be wrong, and I can't remember exactly what songs, but I think it was similar to some Crimpshrine I listened to).

Spike Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 You're all wrong, the Frustrators are the best and AAA alone is better than anything Green Day, Foxboro or The Network have ever done put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think he does a few songs on Jump Salty, but not much (I could be wrong, and I can't remember exactly what songs, but I think it was similar to some Crimpshrine I listened to). I just looked in the booklet and it does credit him with "drums and vocals" on there so I think you're right! He's also credited with that on Compulsive Disclosure (I'm thinking just for that little "Porch" song) but only for "drums" or "drums and lyrics" on the others. He's written that he can't sing/is awful at singing before which is why I assumed it was other band members but that description does fit some of the singing on that album and that song so I guess he didn't let that hold him back. But it's usually Billie or Jason singing and sometimes the others as well so it's not really enough to affect how much I like the singing in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maid Meringue Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Am I the only one that refuses to accept the X-Kid video? I don't think it captured what the song was about at all. It's hard to explain, but the video that plays in my head when listening to this song is a lot darker, and more lonely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maid Meringue Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I didn't say it was an official video, just a crummy choice of a "fan video" to showcase. The nuclear family fanmade video was cute though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Platypus! Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It does sort of capture loneliness and not changing. A caset which is very outdated and the image of one thing on it's own never changing just repeating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNICORN VOMIT Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 In drama queen the line "wet & wreckless" is more contraversial than "old enough to bleed". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshat Jain Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 In drama queen the line "wet & wreckless" is more contraversial than "old enough to bleed". it is controversial, but the thing is that guitar in this song is quite good, that just sorts out the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unextraordinarygirl Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I love X Kid. It's such a good song. I always feel sad when I listen to it but I can relate to what its saying too. Edited December 19, 2014 by unextraodinarygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Currently on a Green Day high and basically in love with every single song they've ever made. Including Nightlife, Amy, Drama Queen, and all of Dos. Sue me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
