It’s pretty sad honestly. Back in the PS3/360 days it felt like a healthy rivalry but ever since the Xbox One Kinect and always online debacle Xbox hasn’t really recovered and I feel both Sony and MS are both worse off for it.

This can only end well… right?

Probably my favorite mixing on any GD album. The bass is nice and meaty without overpowering anything else in the soundstage, truly excellent.

American Idiot is better than Dookie in my opinion but apples and oranges on that.

So Green Day does the most Green Day thing ever and the MAGA crowd loses their minds. Who are the snowflakes again?

It astonishes me how many people in a professional setting don’t even know alt + tab

The first two games are classics of the PS2 era. If the idea of a Disney / Final Fantasy crossover full of ridiculous anime bullshit doesn’t appeal to you, you probably won’t have a good time.

Probably being on stage with Green Day. That was pretty crazy. I’d thought about it for years prior to that point and when Billie Joe pointed at me and said “do you know the lyrics? You swear to god?” instinct kinda just took over. I was floating for days afterward

What a grandiose ending to a magnificent album. Fun fact: the “Nobody Likes You” segment is what kicked off the American Idiot sessions. Bassist Mike Dirnt was by himself in the studio waiting for his band mates to come back. The others wrote segments of their own and that inspired the medleys for Homecoming and Jesus of Suburbia. I love that they’ve started playing this live again.

“Witty retort”

Joe Rogan is the living embodiment of being so open minded that your brains fall out.

Only the third most confusing entry in the Kingdom Hearts series

My friend had one, it was so damn cool and those speakers were LOUD.

I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure what you’re getting at with the food analogy.

Your question is like asking ‘Why hasn’t there been another good band since Green Day?’ Some people don’t think they are a good band, some people like them but think other stuff is way better, ect. Again, because good is a subjective measure and (artistic) taste really isn’t quantifiable.

Because good is an entirely subjective measure. Ask a 5 year old what the best tv show is and you’ll get a different answer than if you asked a professional critic. There have been loads of shows since X-Files ended that are entertaining and have engaging characters. It’s okay to have a favorite.

As a diehard Paul fan I’ll defend Wonderful Christmastime every year. At least it’s not Christmas Time (Is Here Again). Bleh.

Oof

Hail DuARTe!
