Green Day talk about Before The Lobotomy

[TiffyTheTurtleco08]

I love when Billie Joe says ya know. So so cute! Even I do that.

[AnnaSoc5]

Billie says ya know 6 times, but I love him anyway ya know?

[GDlover555]

Ya know

Dude I love green day ya know

But Billie ya know shut up ya know ya thanks ya know

[21centurybeatdown]

is before the labotomy about that human head in a jar called sleepy? i heard that it was somewherelol i love the story of that head

[edlyn2047]

Tré caught Billie's lifelong disease.

"Y'know."

[MCRomg]

People say that seeing Tre so serious is very weird and they don't like it. But I personally love it. He's an adult and very sensitive and although known to be absolutely wild and crazy- this side of him comes seldom. It's quite nice.

[soulwithwings123]

I wish there was a LOVE button

[andj2009]

i hope their next album is more like their older punk albums and less of a rock opera

[SuperWarman123]

They should make a 21st century breakdown cast like American idiot....

[bxsinger87]

Before the Lobotomy is one of my favorite songs off the album. :)

[bloodyfication]

Is the Lobotomy or Gloria really had a lobotomy? because I didn't get  that song well.

[xanjax100]

Tre has just the same voice as a guy in my class.. wierd, isn't it?

[frognyanya]

haha.. the look on billy's face when Tre dosent know the time signature lol

[chocoholic718]

@kidsofthe21stcentury I sometimes just listen to one album all the way through, and I think this one is just Gloria going through life in the 21st century.

[chocoholic718]

@TheEric1203 I think it switches around a bunch

[kidsofthe21stcentury]

does the album 21st century breakdown tell a story?

[J3DandKr15]

@kidsofthe21stcentury Yes, of course. The tale of a couple living it hard in the 21st Century.

[thepoppi999]

@kidsofthe21stcentury I'm not rally sure, but I think it's something about Christian & Gloria

[chocoholic718]

I actually think it is in 4/4, Tré. Skip to the end part where the whole "dreaming" thing comes back and just count one, two, three, four.

[TheEric1203]

@chocoholic718 yeah but listen to the part in the middle where its like "Well im not stoned, im just fucked up" Thats definitely not common time.

[PatientxWhatsername]

Who else thinks that Before the Lobotomy morphs into the 7/8 time signature? I really wanna know if that's it. :P

[TheEric1203]

@PatientxWhatsername hmmm you might be right, i counted 7 beats :)

[PatientxWhatsername]

@TheEric1203 YAY! I thought so... Thank you!

[TheEric1203]

@PatientxWhatsername Lol, sure! That's what i'm getting for the chorus part anyway. In the verses, i counted a view times and 7 seemed to be a little off. Idk, i guess Green Day is just awesome like that lol

[dayborne35]

@PatientxWhatsername

it weaves in between 7/8 (1 & 2 & 3 & 4 1 & 2 & 3 & 4) ,9/8 when tre plays the drum fills (1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5), and 4/4. green day rarely plays anything apart from 4/4. i dont know if there are any songs in 6/8.

i know the 3rd part to jesus of suburbia is in 6/4.

[Andyrooc]

Mike looks like my dads brother and Tre looks like my ma's brother , randomz

[GreenDayGreece1320]

i think both of them are rebellious teens ( i guess).... they're just doing it differently..... gloria is trying to bring the big change in a soft way...of course she's always fighting to change the world but in a subtle way whereas christian is always sooo angry...he's always furious at everybody...all he evre wants is to destroy...so in opinion both of them are rebels...altough i prefer christian's way! ;)

[Caramourful]

It's the freedom that keeps me from.... Dreaming

I find it interesting that they don't talk more about the socio-political meanings here... maybe it's unintentional, but there are parallels to America's addiction to oil "drenched in gasoline" and how the idea of American freedom is a false sort of religion... we can choose what we do but we have to do it a certain way and pass a test first... we also have "freedom of religion" but not from it. Protesters are called "un-American" ... just saying

[2dog14]

@Caramourful "Praise liberty, the freedom to obey" :\

[Punkshitt]

Christian isn't a kid, Christian is who is on the cover on the 21st century breakdown cd, and it's him who is in the 21 guns video ++

he isn't a kid. xD

[novideosforme123]

am i the only one who thinks tht Christian and St. Jimmy are like, the same?? lol. :]

[WHOSTOLEMYNAME8888]

@novideosforme123 no,jimmy was a rebellious kid that killed himself in the first album, christian is with Gloria and is "facing the challenges of the 21st century"

[novideosforme123]

@WHOSTOLEMYNAME8888

well (not starting a fight) but isnt Christian rebellious kid to? idk.... but w/e. :] oh well its still a great song lol.

[Familyguy812]

@WHOSTOLEMYNAME8888 Actually Christian is a rebellious kid too, he robbed a bank in 21 guns so yeah
