Pretty vivid description too, the poor thing almost strangled Tre. Well they did say Tre would eat anything. I thought @Hermione was referring to the line jumping. 🙂

Jumps lines, eats octopuses - Tré Cool is a living comic villain

Don't know how much of an unpopular opinion this is, but imo, Stop, Drop & Roll (the song, not the album) is better than most of the stuff that they've released as Green Day.

I would take SD&R over anything post-21CB.

Pretty much agree, except for Bang Bang. I'd still take Bang Bang over SD&R.

Weird you say that when it sounds so similar to most of Dos

Exactly what I was thinking

If the good tracks off Dos had the same production as SD&R, and the bad tracks were left off, it might be a different story, but as a follow-up to SD&R Dos just falls flat to me.

Indeed . And on the Pop Disaster tour he put two fish he knew would fight in a bowl and watched them injure/kill each other for fun. Hurting animals for fun is a pretty huge turn off, can only hope he's matured/changed his attitude since then.

Yes, equal to any top tier GD album for me.

Bang Bang is  to me, more than Stop, Drop & Roll, even though I like this song a lot. I would put several other songs post-21st CB over SD&R. Still, I love some songs on the SD&R album as much as (some of) my favorite songs in the trilogy. Mother Mary, The Pedestrian, Broadway for instance.

No you can't say that! 

Haven't really listened to Op.Ivy, only heard Knowledge but that one is great so can't really compare 

 

Well you should listen to them and read the lyrics. Gonna Find You, Artificial Life, Room Without A Window, Freeze Up are all great lesser known songs by them with some of the realest lyrics I've ever come across.

[Chin for a Day]

Stop Drop and Roll is a great song. I don't think it is better than any GD work, but it is most definitely equal. I don't think it is even the best song on SD&R, Mother Mary is by far the best song. I love Bang Bang, but I still think it is one of the weaker tracks on RevRad. I actually find myself skipping it at times.

Haven't paid attention to the lyrics much, but Sound System is a bop! 

SD&R, MM and Pedestrian are my favorite tubbies tracks.

[Hermione]

I really love 27th Ave. Shuffle, Pieces of Truth and She's a Saint Not a Celebrity. But I actually really love every song lol. I think I might've listened to it more than I've listened to any GD album, I just love them doing that style of music (probably why I also like Uno Dos and Tre so much) and the songs are all amazing. Plus the way it came out as such a good surprise means I'll always have great memories of it. I can't believe it'll be 10 years old this year!

[The Grohl]

I actually like The Network more than FBHT.

Didn't he also beat a shark to death with a baseball bat? I remember reading that and being so disgusted.

Honestly I think that one is made up , like as a really over the top joke boast (ie winning a fight against a great white shark or whatever) that never really happened.

Edit: I mean I'm not sure how that situation would really occur so hopefully that's the case.

Nope - best lead song - best song on the album.  Hope it never leaves the setlist.

Sorry dear you are wrong as you usually are. It is above the song that shall not be named and Revolution Radio. 

I do still love it though.

Do you seriously put it second last on RevRad?  That's just SHART

Yes, and it is you? That makes no sense.

I still love the damn song, stop being all pissy. I just love other songs more.

Lol I was actually about to make a post in support of your Bang Bang position to this effect . It's a really great song but with so many other good ones jostling for position it's in like, 7th place for me.

Live though - its on a par with FN.

Tre's drum solo live & on the album gets me everytime.

Hermione you betrayed us, I was just going to say Hermione wouldn't hate on Bang Bang 

I agree there are other great songs on the album and I've been enjoying them more because they were less overplayed but bb has grown on me again after some time. I like how fast and punk it is and the unusual structure makes it stand out.
