Green Day Band • Page 96

Doesn’t he like it now? Haha.

 

If there are 10 vote switchers that hate it now on geriatric chorus. I’ll admit defeat. But if you like it now it don’t count.

 

Sounds like I have some users to DM when I get paid next.....

 

On an unrelated note, my DM’s are open.

 

I bet you’d love the FOAM lyrics if your venmo had $45 more dollars in it, wouldn’t cha?!?

 

Dammit haha.

 

the fact you use Alexa and not Siri makes me think it’ll be your favorite album when you’re 50.

 

Hahahahahaha to be fair, i never use Alexa or Siri. I hate that shit. My wife uses that stuff, and even has an Apple watch that she somehow texts on?

I might as well be 50 right now, honestly. Hahaha.

 

I hate it because I think it’s a really, really bad record. I don’t even think of it as Green Day record when I make the mistake of listening to it because how different Billie sounds in so many songs.

 

I like that about it. Green Day has done Green DayTM soooo many times now that this one was a breath of fresh air because it was vastly different. Even just as a one-off, it must feel good for the band to break the mold and do something different for a change. I’m sure the next album they put out will be more in their regular vein. I don’t think FOAM is groundbreaking or perfect or anything, but it’s a LOT of fun if you just let your hair down and have a good time with it.

 

I was a teenage teenager
Filled with piss and vinegar


I think those are right. I honestly can’t think of any other lyrics besides the words “oh yea”

 

I just got my hair cut buzzed down to a 2 on top and 1.5 on the back and sides. I can’t let my hair down. No wonder I don’t like it.

 

I got a 2 on the sides and back yesterday. I guess our is always down…?!

 

Those are my two least favorite songs on the album haha

 

I’d argue mine is always up

I’ve already explained my ironic liking of Teenager. Oh yea is just easy to remember because it’s so horrendously generic.

 

I'd say putting 21CBD above Dookie is probably considered weird by a lot of people lol

 

FOAM/the FOAM era is certainly not their best work but I don't really think it's terrible, especially some of the b-sides they released that didn't make the album

FOAM Era Songs

Good

Father of All
Meet Me On the Roof
Stab You in the Heart
Sugar Youth
Graffitia
Pollyanna (b-side)
Holy Toledo (b-side)

Okay

Junkies on a High
Take the Money and Crawl
Here Comes the Shock (b-side)

Bad

Fire, Ready, Aim
Oh Yeah
I Was a Teenage Teenager

 

I don’t think Pollyanna is in any way associated with FOAM. It’s also better than anything on that record.

 

I actually heard Pollyanna in a store yesterday right after all this Green Day talk lol. I'd say it's Rev Rad-level Green Day. Definitely miles better than anything on FOAM.

 

Yea it was recorded 2 years after FOAM. Same with Holy Toledo.

 

I mean, I personally wouldn’t put it above Dookie. But it’s probably common for those who have American Idiot as their top to have 21cbd fairly high as well and can see someone with that preference putting Dookie lower.

 

Is it wrong to say the best Green Day song in the last 6 years is called “No More Guns” and was written and performed by Tom DeLonge/AVA? And that song was the worst or 2nd worst on that album.

 

My current top 5 songs after my recent discog run:

Waiting
Redundant
Nice Guys Finish Last
Pulling Teeth
JAR

the Nimrod/Warning era was something special. Super glad I got to see them around that time before American Idiot took over the world.

 

Geez, I’ll pick 5 songs but if you asked me tomorrow they’d probably be different than what I’m about to post.

When I Come Around
Jesus of Suburbia
Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
Stuck With Me
Welcome to Paradise

 

I definitely battled with When I Come Around and Jesus of Suburbia.
