I think when he wrote Mass Hysteria, he had just run out of ideas and he borrowed parts from this one, I now like American Eulogy Part 1 a little less.
Wrote the lyrics to this song on a desk at school... over the announcements the other day, the principal read the entire song out and said that if anyone knows who wrote this please come to the office at eleven-fifty.
I went. *facepalm* I thought she meant artist, not person that actually graffitied the desk.
Fun Fact: When Billie Joe was a kid he was doing laundry with his mom and his cat Zero jumped into the dryer when they wernt looking and he died that way. Thats how that lyric was inspired(:
Always loved Green Day. My mother used to have me listen to them when I was a baby. They are my favorite band and always will be. Mike was my inspiration to play the bass. I own all of their albums. None of this probably sounds very important but c'mon. It's Green Day. What's not to love? I'm an Idiot for life!
I have loved Green Day since I was 5 or 6. I'm 14. I have always loved them and will never stop. I will always love and respect them for who they are.
in orchestra, we were able to request songs. i requested this one. my teacher, who is amazing, composed a version to play this on my violin. it will be my own song to play at our next concert. i cant wait. (btw, im 12)
@billiejoe21JOS Yes! I've always thought the pair of songs was VERY similar! "Grounded in a duplex to find" = "Idle thoughts lead to full throttle screamin"
@billiejoe21JOS I've noticed that as well!! Fascinating... I know 'Warning' was their worst selling post-Dookie album, maybe Billie Joe didn't think some of those sounds were done justice. Either way, two amazing albums... what an incredible band.
@MrVarduga totally, the rythem for both the songs are just electric and mind blowing=). I hope other people notice that green day hasn't "given up" their roots
@billiejoe21JOS Ahhh, my friend- people change. Everyone does. Billy Joe & crew have matured and grown up a lot since the early 90s, and it would be a shame (and against the natural way of things) to try to hold them at any certain level. Green Day and their albums are best viewed as the evolutionary story of its three men. Spouses, kids, politics- it's all had an impact on their music, and aside from their objective 'Goodness', their albums become much more valuable when viewed in this light.
@MrVarduga yeah, the bigger they got, the more they began to focus on bigger topics like politics. I guess they did eventually have to move on to something that wasn't as much about them, but still personal. So far I'm not complaining and I haven't been since 1,029/soothed Out =)
The Lyric "And the cat's caught in the dryer" is there because one of Billie's cats did get stuck in the dryer. Don't believe me? Check his twitter, he posted a picture with the caption This is Cleveland (his cat). His brother got stuck in the dryer
It's American eulogy.. Viva la Gloria WTF? Where do u here that beat inthis amazing song? And the beat is also not nice guys finish last .... U guys need to kno it green day!
all what you can say to this song is " :) " ...all words arent enough for this song ! I love this shit :D sorry but i think that the older songs are better then 21st century breakdown ...i mean i like all songs of green day but this is one of the best :-*
viva la gloria, that's a recopilation song, i noticed that song has part of deadbeat holiday and letterbomb, i mean.... great song but what a shame, even though Green Day is the best band evar
are people deaf? of course it sounds like american eulogy you can't deny the similarities, sure it's only for a couple lines every now and then but it has the same melody. Why is it so important to people that it doesn't sound like dead beat holiday? It doesn't take anything away from it. :/ if you don't hear it you're either deaf, ignorant or in denial
Who ever keeps sayin it sounds like American Eulogy have you thought maybe it just sounded really great so they put it in maybe not even thinking of this song goodness.
ON FEBRUARY THE SEVENTEENTH IT'S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG'S BIRTHDAY,AND WE WILL ALL WATCH THE 21 GUNS VIDEO AND GIVE IT THUMBS UP. LET THAT BE A LITTLE BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO BILLIE JOE FROM THE FANS.
WE LOVE GREEN DAY,RIGHT? ♥

Lol some people complain about their songs sounding different from what they used to sound like. And now they are all complaining that American Eulogy sounds like their old stuff
@KneeDrummer Its proof that some one will a;ways be a bitch and complain. Either they change their style, some one will say they were better before(Like Linkin Park is now, which is true) or they will whine that is more of the same, like now.
See when people say Green Day is Changing alot it gets me mad. American Eulogy and Deadbeat Holiday sound alot alike. That proves They havent changed to much.
