Green Day Band • Page 5

The last good album IMO. I seriously fell in love with that album harder than I thought I would.

 

I love the story about Billie Joe bringing Fat Mike on their tour bus before Warning was released, and letting him hear the record in its entirety. BJ asks Fat Mike what he thinks, and Mike says it sucks and it will ruin the band. I guess BJ was totally dejected after that, b/c the band was in a weird place at the time, but it all wound up working out haha. Fat Mike told the story in an interview years ago and admitted he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about haha

 

Dookie's my favorite album of theirs but honestly that and American Idiot might be the only albums of theirs I've heard in full, Brain Stew/Jaded might be my favorite song

 

One of the first cassettes I ever had was Kerplunk. So that still has a special place in my heart.

 

Favorite Green Day songs for me would be a pretty eclectic mix. Going To Pasalacqua, Hitchin a Ride, Misery...

 

This is right but it's a different version of Maria, I'm pretty sure.

 

Yes, I believe you are correct - I think it was re-recorded. I now realize I've heard both versions - second one is more polished.

 

I couldn't name my favorite songs, haha. Maybe favorite from each album. I'll start at Dookie since I haven't listened to the early stuff enough.

Dookie - Pulling Teeth
Insomniac - Stuart and the Ave
Nimrod - Hitchin' a Ride
Warning - Church on Sunday
American Idiot - Whatsername (maybe...it's hard)
21st Century Breakdown - Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl)
Uno - Oh Love
Dos - Ashley
Tre - Missing You

 

Spot on for your Insomniac, Warning, American Idiot, and 21st picks. Mine, too!

For 39/Smooth i'd pick At The Library
For 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours I'd pick Dry Ice
Kerplunk : One For The Razorbacks
Dooke : She

 

Whoa that's crazy haha

 

and if we're counting Shenanigans, I'd go with Do Da Da BUT if they put the original Good Riddance insomniac version on that collection, then I'd pick that, but for some reason they didn't include it.

 

Okay I'll throw mine in

39/Smooth- Going to Pasalacqua or Dry Ice
Kerplunk- Who Wrote Holden Caulfield or One for the Razorbacks or One of My Lies
Dookie- Burnout or Basket Case
Insomniac- 86 or Panic Song
Nimrod- Scattered
Warning- Minority or Waiting
American Idiot- Jesus of Suburbia or Letterbomb
21st Century Breakdown- American Eulogy or Before the Lobotomy or Murder City
Uno- Stay the Night or Rusty James
Dos- Stray Heart
Tre- Dirty Rotten Bastards or Brutal Love

Nimrod and Dos are weirdly the only ones I have a definite indisputable favorite on

 

As long as we're doing lists, I'll throw my favorites in...

39/Smooth - Going to Pasalacqua
Kerplunk! - No One Knows
Dookie - Having a Blast
Insomniac - either 86 or Walking Contradiction, depends on my mood
nimrod. - Prosthetic Head
WARNING - Waiting
American Idiot - Whatsername ... holy fuck, the feels that song gives me. So relatable.
21CB - American Eulogy or the title track
Uno - Stay the Night, agree with whoever said that should have been the lead single ... honorable mention to Rusty James
Dos - Ashley
Tre - 8th Avenue Serenade

I would say nimrod is their best album, but Dookie is my favorite ... seems like you and I are in agreement on a lot of these, @tdlyon

 

39/Smooth- Going to Pasalacqua
Kerplunk- Who Wrote Holden Caulfield
Dookie- Coming Clean
Insomniac- Stuck With Me
Nimrod- Hitchin A Ride (haven't listened to the album properly but this is one of my favorites anyway)
Warning- Misery
American Idiot- Jesus of Suburbia

Haven't heard the other albums enough to pick favorites

 

"Give Me Novacaine" is my favourite Green Day song

 

12 year old account makes their first post on GDC. Bring on August 5th.

 

Let us hope it's good!

 

Late to the convo (real late) but glad to see "Whatsername" getting so much love. That was always my favorite on American Idiot.

 

Also, American Idiot has a special place in my heart because I had just picked up my first guitar shortly after that album came out, and looking up the guitar tabs to that album is basically how I learned how to play guitar.

And, as to be expected, when Green Day is how you learn how to play guitar, you turn out to be quite below average at guitar.

 

glad they're finally going to start covering The Barenaked Ladies

 

Ha! I'd honestly love that.

 

GD prob sees all the awesome music 2016 has released and wants to be a part of it. I don't blame them. Wouldn't be a 90's revival w/o em.

 

It seems like that post was a troll post on that forum. but I'm sure they are still releasing music this year.

 

Something's up with that post. It may not be a full-on troll, but somebody related to the GDA/GDC team knows something about it. I mean, they know things they're not allowed to publicize. I don't believe that post came as far out of left field as it's being played up.

Since the people over there hate the date-guessing game, I'll just throw out there I think the album gets a 10/21 release. No real reason, just feels right.

 

A little bit before the election sounds right...

I'm sure this album will be highly political
