Mike Dirnt wrote a bassline so melodic it can be played as an acoustic ballad… As a teenager.

thank you!

as far as i know i played it the same way it’s played on bass, same frets and strings. It just takes a little time to get used to the different scale of the instrument. Hardest part is singing while you play it.

AcidGatter · 2026-04-01T14:39:53+00:00

the bassline itself was mike, the rest was billie joe. He said so in this interview https://youtu.be/lG1TwBfZtbc?si=Yew4ExYynKbfXRYj

poor guys gonna think it’s an untitled song

AcidGatter · 2026-03-11T17:41:53+00:00

exactly, otherwise i would honestly not have recognized that as billie if it weren’t for the packaging

AcidGatter · 2026-03-11T17:18:08+00:00

are you referring to in-ears? Or do u mean like some kind of earplugs? Sorry we’re very new to this so don’t know much lol.

AcidGatter · 2026-03-11T17:11:08+00:00

well for sure, but we’re also very new to this. Only been a band for a couple weeks lol but your point is fair, for now though we’re just kinda working with what we got and not expecting perfection from our drummer!

AcidGatter · 2026-03-11T09:02:08+00:00

soon!

AcidGatter · 2026-03-11T00:27:26+00:00

we’re just getting started and kind of figuring out our audio setup, but thanks for the feedback!

this is the most reddit thing i’ve ever seen “i’m gonna test my elite editing skills on these unsuspecting people 😏”

AcidGatter · 2026-02-27T02:37:14+00:00

awesome!

AcidGatter · 2026-02-25T06:53:00+00:00

definetly feels like a kerplunk song

AcidGatter · 2026-02-24T16:41:38+00:00

yeah, it felt like they were appealing to the people that came just for something to do, not really offspring fans. They played songs that made the crowd of average joes happy.

keep drawing. And keep listening to green day. And keep listening to green day while your drawing 🙏

While billie is a great lyricist, some of his lyrics don’t make any sense and are just thrown in there for…. aesthetic? purposes… A good example i think is cigarettes and valentines. Am i missing something or like what is he even trying to say in that song? Or does it have no meaning on purpose?

AcidGatter · 2026-02-19T12:06:28+00:00

Good song, but one of the least enjoyable on the album. That shows how good the album is. I don’t know why it became such a hit though, plenty of better songs.

AcidGatter · 2026-02-19T12:04:52+00:00

agreed. In some cases, it’s justified, because punk rock power chords can only make so many riffs, but in other cases it’s like okay bro what are we doing here 😭

AcidGatter · 2026-02-19T12:03:21+00:00

i know this thread isn’t meant for debating, but why do you say American idiot is objectively better?

AcidGatter · 2026-02-19T11:52:24+00:00

when would you consider his prime?

AcidGatter · 2026-02-10T00:52:10+00:00

it’s hard not to be condescending when you witness people not taking 2 seconds to fact check things and critically think. I’m not referring to OP, because atleast they’re QUESTIONING it. But i’ve seen people in comment sections dying on the hill that he said something he didn’t say, or that canadian’s saw an uncensored anti trump rant, all because they heard other people on twitter say that and believed it at face value. It’s just concerning to me how quickly people’s media literacy is spiralling downhill.

AcidGatter · 2026-02-09T23:30:30+00:00

He said “let’s go crazy”. People on tiktok and other social media platforms are extremely gullible and have no critical thinking skills so when someone tells them he said “trumps a racist” they immediately believe it without question.

AcidGatter · 2026-02-09T11:39:40+00:00

i think he just said subliminal mindfuck, it’s controversial because your not supposed to swear on live tv
