With this "new" album Green Day have put all of their B-sides, soundtrack contributions, and cover songs on one convenient album. For those of us who are fans, but not into vinyl and single collecting, it provides and easy and cheap way of occurring these rare tracks. One thing that bothered me that there were only 14 tracks, I would have thought that a band that has been around for so long, and has the money to get in the studio anytime they want, would have more stuff to include on this type of album.

the kinks wrote "tired of waiting for you" not the monkees you dipshit. Green Day you are the best band of the 12years I have bine Some songs were o.k . But they've had better albums i love greenday.......i give them a ten This is a great cd. I love all the covers on it. Especially the Ramones cover "Outsider". Every song on this CD is rad. This is probably GD's worst album. Songs like Tired of Waiting for You and Outsider piss me off. Thank God they did not release them on another CD. But Scumbag and I wanna be on TV are like in the top 10 GD songs ever. Why weren't those on an album? suffocate is an amazing song and shoulda been on an album. however it should be noted that scumbag is a warning outtake, and great song but didnt fit the feel of that album, its more classic sounding. the covers are ok, but dont' deviate from the original bands that wrote them sound. i wouldnt recommend this cd to anyone that doesnt have all their other releases already. this should be a compleation to your collection not a start. definately. ha ha your dead and rotting are also solid songs that coulda been on releases.the instrumental is filler poo. I just know that I like "Tired of Waiting for You" and "Scumbag." Nice cover art, too. for that dicksmoker who said 'their actions arent w/ their punk ideals' whatever dorkus. fuck you. greenday play poppunk and wanted to reach a larger audience. they were never some hardcore political or social punk band. they sang about girls and if anything, their latest album had their punkest lyrics but probably least punk sound. punk ideals? whats that , sittin around, saying oi oi, panning for change and being elitest? thinking everyone is a sheep to the system and u are stepping out! fuck that, greenday was never like that, and to me, all punk is now is an open minded attitude towards appearance and preferences and being yourself. thats it. and greenday do that. punk is also simply a music style w/ many variations. punk that your talking about, and some of the other fucks on this board talk about i dead. and good riddance to it. alright idiots, this wasn't released to get out of their contract with reprise.... this reviewer really dont know what he's talking about does he? well anyway - i, like most green day fans, already have pretty much every song on here from the single's but i bought it anyway for the previously unreleased track - ha ha you're dead, which in the end was such a good song i think justified the £13.50. i used to love grenday inside out. Their actions are not in line with their punk ideals. Dude, you might want to check the COMMENT history before posting—about five people have already pointed out the fact that the reviewer got mixed up. Come on guys, no big deal. No need to bite his head off! The collection is great. One note of advice to the person who reviewed this album. Tired of waiting was done by one of the greatest bands of all time, the kinks not the monkees. Check your history before your try to write a review. I enjoyed this album. nice to have a bunch of their b-sides in one place. but as some other people have mentioned it's lacking a few key tracks. like J.A.R from the angus soundtrack, which is by far one of their best songs. and also the cover of Fifteen's C#(tion) that they did would have been a nice addition to an already strong album that show where they played the Husker Du song aired once... i saw it on MTV2 and taped it, so i have proof this cd is awesome! if anyone gets it listen to Ha Ha Your Dead! the BEST song...but if you want to listen to the best green day cd get insomniac Another amazing Green Day record. Every track on this album is different. I have to disagree with the reviewer, I think "Tired of Waiting For You" is one of the strongest tracks on this one. If you are looking for pop punk, go no further. With songs like "Ha Ha You're Dead", "Do Da DA", "Don't Want to Fall In Love" and "Suffocate" I think this is Green Day's best collection of pop punk since the early days. This is a great record for hardcore Green Day fans, and fans of their earlier work. I love Green Day. They've been my favorite band for about eight years now, so I have a fairly large collection of import singles, live EPs, and the like. I already had every song on this release, except for "Ha Ha You're Dead," but I purchased the CD, anyway. "The songs all sound decent, no real terrible ones, and a couple of standouts like 'Ha Ha Your Dead", Scumbag". "Suffocate", and "Desensitized" that I'm surprised never made it onto an album." well they may be money hungry (then again dad religeon opened for blink on an arena tour) but they DID release this to get out of their album contract, same w/ the greatest hits. they want to go on their own label which they have the money to do now. they had the ol' 7 record deal or some shit to fill at reprise first. i hear this is for hardcore fans only, but desensitized and scumbag are both awesome songs that shoulda been on releases. scumbag is a warning outtake i believe. not sure where the rest are from, but a trained ear can tell, billy joes guitar sounds different on all releases (varying distorion levels, from heavy on insomniac to barely any on warning). being that greenday was the band that got me into punk back in 7th grade when dookie came out i always kinda hold these guys in a high esteem. so go get it if youre like me. "Tied of Waiting For You" THE MONKEYS! hahahahaha. its a classic kinks song!!!! This CD is horrible! Listen to the new song "HAHA You're Dead", the bass line is the exactly the same as the one from "The Longest Line" by NOFX. And the prechorus is a rip-off of Green Day's "Maria". This song is a cut and paste rip off job. After releasing a Greatest Hits CD, followed by a B-Sides CD, I have realized that Green Day are money hungry jackasses. Thanks! just to be the third asshole well duh...that's cause they were b-sides.....songs that never made it onto an official release...Green Day is obviously just fullfilling thier recording contract so they can get away from Reprise and onto a smaller label or even thier own I bought this cd like a week ago and i was pretty dissapointed at my favorite band of all time,ths cd lacks of the traditional greenday sound that i've always loved. The thing that annoyed me the most was that most of the songs are slow as hell,weezer type of thing,so the cd gets boring with the first three tracks. There are some decent tracks too,like "i wanna be on tv" and "haha you're dead" which resemble the old kerplunk sound. I only recommend ppl to buy this cd if you're a really hardcore greenday fan. i think the sales over,i got it last saturday for 8 bucks. they also had the new weezer,white stripes,and jimmy eat world cds all for 10. best buy can be a pretty cool store for buying popular major label "punk" cds most of the time. tired of waiting is a kinks song..do your homework geek. I really, really like that cover art. tired of waiting for you is a kinks cover. already had all these songs (except Ha Ha You're Dead) but i still got it anyway, and i still love it. what can i say, i'm a green day whore |
