DookieLukie Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 You seemed pretty peeved at the time. Are you admitting you were trolling, or just pretending we didn't piss you off? I have lot of respect for the power of words. I was trying to prove a point that getting upset over the use of a word is ridiculous. I found it funny that people would flip a shit over "cunt" or "bitch" directed at them, but me being upset at "retarded" was somehow silly or out of line. Quote

Chin for a Day Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Dos is my favorite of the trilogy, too. And I love Nightlife. Welcome to the "I love nightlife" club. As a matter of fact, I just listened to it. 1 Quote
Jirachi Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I like all of Uno, at least a little. I like about half of Dos (Fuck Time, Makeout Party, Ashley, Lazy Bones, Stray Heart, and Wow Thats Loud), And i like little of Tre (Missing You, Brutal Love, X-Kid, and Dirty Rotten Bastards) So I guess I like Uni most Quote
UNICORN VOMIT Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Dos is my favorite of the trilogy, too. And I love Nightlife. Where have you been. I like Dos as well. 2 Quote
amberwhite Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Where have you been. I like Dos as well. I have been alone in my car singing along since I got my hot little hands on it. 2 Quote
Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Dos is so vile. I haven't listened to it in months. Quote
Anaïs. Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Dos is so vile. I haven't listened to it in months. Same, six months since I've listened to anything from the Trilogy according to iTunes. Quote
Certified Nimrod Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 But when I'm in a mood to listen to it, everything flows nicely (with the exception of Misery, but we won't get into that right now). Oh yes we bloody will Misery completely messes up Warning's flow. Not to say it's a bad song (even though I don't enjoy it), but it's in a terrible spot. 2 Quote
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I loathe their cover of Like a Rolling Stone. One of the fantastic things about the original is that all the instruments blend into a cohesive whole but you can pick out one thread in particular and listen to it in isolation as it does its thing for the whole song--the liquid organ riff, the piano, the lead guitar, bass, rhythm guitar, Bob's voice. In Green Day's cover the whole thing is just utterly buried under a wave of guitar. Also, let's face it, Billie is better than Dylan technically when it comes to vocals but he can't come close to the passion Dylan put into his vocals on this particular song.For one moment there I thought you were talking about A Quick One, and I was about to chastise you with unending burning wrath. But I quite like Like a Rolling Stone. It's better than the original. Quote
Libertine Angel Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It's better than the original. YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT. 2 Quote
Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It's a general rule of thumb that every cover of a Bob Dylan song is miles better than the original. Dylan, while undeniably a great writer, is a fucking useless performer. And that's being generous. Quote

Chin for a Day Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 If anyone wants to hear what a great performer Dylan is, listen to the album of standards he just released. One Enchanted Evening is awful on its own, but with Dylan singing it, it is even worse. 1 Quote

Dylan, while undeniably a great writer, is a fucking useless performer. And that's being generous. Sure, technically he's kind of shit (though I think he's far better than people give him credit for), but his delivery is second to none, and that's what counts for me. The sneer in his voice on the original just blows Billie's attempt away. And as I said earlier, the instrumentation is just far more interesting when it's not buried under guitar. 2 Quote
Z J Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Misery completely messes up Warning's flow. Not to say it's a bad song (even though I don't enjoy it), but it's in a terrible spot. I actually agree with this, Warning is a fantastic album but it doesn't flow well. If I were to choose, it'd look more like Warning Minority Church On Sunday Fashion Victim Castaway BS&B Deadbeat Holiday Hold On Jackass Waiting Misery MDP 1 Quote

I haven't listened to the original in ages, but from what I remember of it, it's just a bit boring. Green Day's is more powerful. Still not great though. I feel the whole song just drags on.A Quick One has to be their best cover, for me. Just ahead of Working Class Hero. Quote
