Green Day Band • Page 164

don’t think so. He said it happened during American Idiot, watched the clips a few times and never heard anything.

 

So, his voice sounds basically normal here. Not really sure what happened in the stream.

 

I'm surprised how quickly I've turned on The American Dream. It already feels like a novelty song to me rather than one I want to go back to.

I'm sure it will go over well live but it's already aged for me.

 

It's only continued to grow on me!!

 

It’s ever so slightly faster on that video above and I think it pops better. Same way Minority goes from “yeah that’s just fine” on the record to a tornado when played live.

 

The single has grown on me quite a bit and I’ve been a post-Nimrod GD grump.

 

Ya can’t stop listening to it. Every part of it is catchy af.

 

We underrating Minority now huh

 

Minority fuckin rips

 

Minority might be THE quintessential Green Day song. Super catchy and lyrics that really define what the band is about

 

It's infectious in the best way, has the "immediacy" that first attracted me to Bang Bang. Hope that the rest of the album lives up to this promise.

That said, the "paedophiles" line is a clunker.

 

Disagree. Billie's lyrics have essentially been composed of almost entirely clunkers for a long time (minus certain songs on Rev Rad) and I think they're really back to basics on this track and not in a bad way

It might be a harsh and edgy line but it makes sense and it's succinct

 

Ohh man if they do a bunch of small club shows I will pay an ungodly amount to go if they come here

 

To each their own, to me it's like they set out to rival "She tried to pray it away so I fucked her in church" from Edging haha

 

I really don't get how you could think that, but you're right, to each their own!

 

Have decided this song is fine but it kinda bores me as much as Know Your Enemy did if we're talking first singles

 

I like this new song quite a bit. Consistently stuck in my head.

 

Anybody got a rip from the vinyl of Look Ma?

 

Nah been looking for ages too. Actual song is out tomorrow though so patiently waiting.

 

Here we go!

 

Ah so THAT is how they are doing stadiums

 

was there a doubt it was going to be baseball stadiums?

 

surprised they are doing hershey and philly both
