saw the green day today. I havent been following the Green Day saga: what's the scoop?
Posted by dawnbixtler on 2004-09-22 05:08:21 +0000
2 words: Rock Opera

I know, but whats yr impression? Is it Green Day style opera or does they music stray from the pop punk format? I have been out of Green Day land since dookie so I need a little guidance here... I did see the limited hardcover of this last night on sale @ Best Buy while Jackie and are were looking at Stoves (the new place's kitchen needs to be souped up a bit: all we have right now is a sink), it made me curious, but I wanted to hear other impressions...

Isn't that a James Brown song... "Hot Platin'! Beratin!"

I have yet to hear the record, but I guess that it's all pretty much withing the formula. 'Warning' was the furthest they've strayed, and that was just because of production.

Oo, there are a lot of goodies on the '95 concept album "Insomniac." (yes it's about not sleeping, pill popping, touring, your first all-nighter when you were 13...)

That record is also a response to their sudden fame.

I was obsessed with Green Day ~ 6months in 1994. I still have the slap happy and the dookie, are you guys recommending Insomniac as the next step, or should I disregard the evolutionary history and skip to the end of the book and get A. Idiot ???

Does anyone have the new one yet?
Posted by frame609 on 2004-09-24 00:55:01 +0000
I think all the albums have been very good, with the exception of 'Warning,' which was a little too countrified for my taste.

Back to The Clash: Got the 2Xcd 1 DVD London Calling this weekend. Haven't even got it out of shrinkwrap yet... I'll give you the lowdown soon. packaging is cool. it's very similar to a lot of those "deluxe packages Geffen / MCA uses (I'm thinking specificly of Weezer's Blue Album, Sonic Youth's Dirty, The Who's Tommy and who's Next, Marvin Gaye, elton John etc etc....
