:( I'm sorry, I truly am. What order would you put them in?

Everyone knows you have Pulling Teeth in the wrong spot. :)

Yeah, I might have to move it up the list just due to the pressure.

It's OK, I think I've recovered now.

Anyway, if we're allowed to use equals, then I'd change mine to:

Basket Case=Longview=Welcome to Paradise>When I Come Around (though not by much, they fluctuate)>She=Burnout=Chump=Sassafras Roots>Having a Blast=Emenius Sleepus>FOD>Pulling Teeth>In The End=Coming Clean.

Yeah, Dookie's my joint favourite album (alongside AI).

I'd steal Tom's salmon joke in response to that, but I'm not going to.

Yeah it's amazing live, Reading 2004 ftw. I do get bored of it these days though, it's the first Green Day song I heard 12 years ago and doesn't have much impact now.

yeah innit. the studio version just doesn't have the same je ne sais quoi as basically any live version. i'm partial to biab cause the crowd getting the timing wrong amuses me.

That makes me cringe every time. It's such a shit version, dunno why they included it at the expense of Homecoming.

The BIAB version of Basket Case (CD one, I haven't watched it in ages) is definitely vastly superior to the original, but that's because it's just brilliant in general. Basket Case remains one of my favourite ever songs though, so I'm biased in that.

it makes me giggle no matter where i am tbh it's fucking hilarious. homecoming should def have been in there instead though, i don't think i've ever heard a live version of it actually tbh

Storytellers and KROQ. Both incredible.

Its actually the song that made me a fan, but it doesn't have the same impact anymore if I'm just listening. However, I still love the video.l

I've got the audio if you want it, it was a WMUWSE b-side.

Homecoming live was a B-side to one of the AI singles, I'm not sure which one though.

Yeah, that one.

I just watched Storytellers live, it was brilliant! I think because of the way the piece parts of the song fit together, Homecoming is better live than JOS.

Oh I'm sorry, I was incorrect that it was the last one. But I do think the reason it was chosen is that it was in it. I'd assume the reason it was picked over the others is they'd already released a slower/ballad type song (21 Guns), and a more upbeat song is a more common choice for a single.

Nevermind, we all make mistakes. :D

My biggest complaint about the singles is the video for East Jesus Nowhere.

It could be funny in an epic way, but it ended up with a video with live footage.

I remember when 21st CB came out I had created in my mind the concept of the video for East Jesus Nowhere, even their clothes. :lol:

Homecoming live at Storytellers is the best live performance of Green Day ever.

Homecoming is amazing live why don't they play it more often :cry:

late to the dookie discussion but my order is prob:

when I come around, coming clean, longview, she, chump, sassafras roots, having a blast, pulling teeth, burnout, fod, basket case, in the end (and if it's counted all by myself.)

I'd put it in close second behind Basket Case at Reading '04. It is utterly perfect start to finish, though.
