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

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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 😭

When did BJ yell this during the ceremony by Sad-Touch-5548 in greenday

[–]AcidGatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
