xxPistolxx Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 changing the bands name was a mistake But they had to change it. They did that cause they didn't wanna be mistaken for this other band in the same area called Sweet Baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xxPistolxx Posted February 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think American Idiot would be an even greater album if it didn't include She's A Rebel in it. I mean, i really love the song, but it just doesn't fit all the stuff going on in the album. If they put Favorite Son instead of She's A Rebel and put the song on the b-sides i think that would've made the album better. Personally speaking here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The idea for this thread ran its course over a year ago, and is now a pointless and repetitive exercise in people expressing silly opinions almost entirely with a view to getting a rise out of someone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think AI has some of Tre's best drumming. The idea for this thread ran its course over a year ago, and is now a pointless and repetitive exercise in people expressing silly opinions almost entirely with a view to getting a rise out of someone. No. The old thread produced some quite interesting discussions on Green Day, the people, the music other things they've done. It did get a bit repetitive, but that has improved now that the Random Green Day Thoughts thread has been opened. As for getting a rise out of people? I doubt it. There were some healthy (or maybe not so healthy!) debates in the old thread, but I don't think anyone posted just to annoy people. Apart from maybe Seagull, but what's new there?

This is my only my tri-monthly look in the hinterlands Green Day section of the forum anyway. If stuff like this keeps people happy, then why verily not sir!

Guest Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Is it me or is Billies acting a bit dodgy in that video? At least at the start! He's a pretty terrible actor, on film at least. Can't speak for his Broadway stuff. The idea for this thread ran its course over a year ago, and is now a pointless and repetitive exercise in people expressing silly opinions almost entirely with a view to getting a rise out of someone. How is this any different to any other thread in this godforsaken place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Highway Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think if they made the trilogy one double album, it could've been one of the better records they've put out and maybe could've won another grammy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think if they made the trilogy one double album, it could've been one of the better records they've put out and maybe could've won another grammy. why? most of the songs would still be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Billie wasn't too bad when he played that ghostly betting man. That was quite cool. There isn't enough quality in the Trilogy to make a double album. On album, yes - but it wouldn't win a Grammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I liked Billie's acting in that deleted scene. Not in the scene that made the movie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think it is quite popular to believe the trilogy should have been one album. But I do not think it would have changed much in the eyes of the mainstream. There still wouldn't be a song on their that would have charted at all on Hot 100 or gotten top 40 airplay, which is pretty much required if you want a Grammy. To us on the forum, sure, if there was some quality control I think I could have viewed the trilogy fondly, but not much would have changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 "Ashley" starts way too suddenly. Even one snare fill before the intro chorus would have made it better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anaïs. Posted February 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2014 The fact that everyone acknowledges that Billie is a horrible actor is yet another reason that I am baffled that people still want the AI movie to happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love AI as an album, they're already borderline flogging a dead horse. A movie would just be ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A movie would just be ridiculous. The only way it could possibly work would be to do a The Wall type thing—no dialogue, no singing. Just play the album front to back with quality actors doing their best to channel emotion without saying anything. And look how well that worked for the "Jesus of Suburbia" video. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the suggestion that Lou Taylor Pucci is a quality actor is a big part of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
