please come back the kids miss you

This is one of the best albums of all time. There’s not even a bad song. Queen is one of their influences and like Queen, they are a master at the transitions.

I forgot how incredible this whole album was, and how electrifying it was to hear this wholesale indictment of American imperialism. You have to remember that this album was released after 9/11, the unprovoked invasion of Iraq, and the wholesale terrorizing of the world by draconian Bush-era policies. To hear a band as wildly popular as Green Day speak out against those policies and events, at the risk of their careers, was incredible. That the public responded as it did meant that millions of people agreed with them.

It’s not a theory. This is a concept album about a cancer patient.

You understood Jesus of suburbia perfectly 🙏 it means to counter the conventional ideologies of song length

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife did the same thing during that time period as well. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then compared to today. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

Still waiting for selfish machines

Thanks for your reaction, brother! I remember I first listened to this album back in 2004 when I was 19 years old and it absolutely blew my mind! When you said it gives you a feeling you've never felt before, I felt the exact same way. This album is a true masterpiece and it very well may be the greatest album ever made, in my opinion.

Selfish machines please 🙏

I first listened to ptv in middle school book because someone posted their album cover on twitter and I instantly fell in love with

14:21 "sat on the couch UNDER the chandelier" 😭

It's pretty cool in 2024 to see someone for the first time listen and be awestruck of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" album like I was in 1977 when it came out!

React to selfish machines by ptv plss! 💚🖤

The ghost of you video brings me to tears every time i watch it. its such a good and emotional video. every member makes sure that theyre showing emotion through the videos, especially gerard

I’ve been waiting forever for selfish machines

Plsss do selfish machines

Love this reaction !! 🙌🤘

Insightful young reviewer! Glad to have you check out the songs from the old days. You should also check out the 1977 album "Aja" by Steely Dan.

Impressive review! Glad I found you.

Jesus of Suburbia is their Bohemian Rhapsody

No offensive but “the guitar is doing something else” They have more than one guitarist And even if they didn’t they can still record more than one guitar track That little riff in to the end is the guitar Also you know what they do to guys like us in prison is while he is in prison Hence they said “come with your arms raised high” And let’s just say he dropped the soap

let down underrated

Dude you’re painfully uneducated….

Way…to….much …..pausing

At 11:55, the lyrics are "I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall, like the holy scriptutea of the shopping mall

If you listen to Gerard Way's solo stuff you realize how much Ray Toro's guitar adds. Way's solo stuff good too, but like you said, Toro's guitar is underrated.

So happy to see your review on the world is ugly - in my opinion that’s the most beautiful song ever made (even so many year have been gone since its release). Try to hear the first version of it they played during the black parade tour in 2008, its way more sad and still so fucking beautiful!

Finally someone understands! I sometimes feel like I’ve heard their songs before too

Wendigoon has a video where he really explains the story of the album. Basically there's two perspective in this album; the patient's perspective, and death's perspective. I suggest watching the video cause his explanation is now my headcanon for the story of the album

React to their “all that I’ve got” music video

There is an Official Short 📽️ FILM, of Come Tor, you should view it, won't be disappointed 😊

Fun fact: Gerard and Mikey Way, the lead singer/songwriter and bassist respectively, are first cousins, once removed with Joe Rogan of all people. Although I don't think they've ever met, at least as of a few years ago. And Gerard is the genius behind the comic book turned hit Netflix series Umbrella Academy.

LISTEN TO DEPECHE MODE, THEIR ALBUMS VIOLATOR OR SONG OF FAITH DEVOTION ARE HUGE, DARK, ELECTRONIC VS ORGANIC, LYRICS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD... I WANT TO SEE YOU REACT TO THE SONG IN YOUR ROOM

LET DOWN is my favourite on this album. It´s so beautiful, that part where he sings on stereo omggg goosebumps every single time since 1997

THIS ALBUM IS PERFECTION. And a grower, if you liked it now..when you know every detail it becomes even better

Smile is a cover of Charles Chaplin, Mj loved his movies and music. So Queen probs got that line from there too.

2 BAD has 70 tracks in the mix.. I have the multitracks and its insane the amount of things going on at the same time, the trumpets, bass, beats, vocals... its seriously insane. Watch the videoclip, it has one of his best choreos

I think you don´t understand something about rnb in general: you complained about too many choruses, which was something extremely common in rnb and black music in general... when you listen to rnb tracks you are meant to focus on the adlibs at the end, not the chorus x 4... ahahha if you listened to the songs more times all those improvs become second nature, you sing the adlibs with him and dont even notice the choruses, that´s the goal in a way.... also most of those tracks are dance tracks, you are sitting down and not moving, so you are missing a lot on that respect too XDD

it took him 4 years to finish EARTH SONG, to me its his biggest song ever probably. For some reason which I cannot fathom, It wasnt a single in the usa, it was a massive hit around the globe.

they dont care about us was a hit in every country except the usa. Since the media hated him in the usa they focused on 2 lines of the song to make MJ seem racist or a bigot. Insane. It has another video apart from the brasi one, the PRISON version is very strong, I get goosebumps with that version. The brasil came out a bit later and it became more popular overall, its not harsh compared to the original.

Not hearting hold on till May is a Sin.

If you want a good detailed break down about the whole "spirit" thing, I recommend you react to a video made by wendigoon about the true meaning of the black parade. It is truly an amazing theory and it all connects and the first time I saw that video, it changed my entire view on the album

When song writers get into something that the feel deserves to be a full length 10 minute recording, especially with Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming they knew they would probably not be put on radio that much. It would suck if they cut it up just for the fucking radio. There are plenty of songs on the album that would run perfectly fine on the radio. Let the artists make songs how they want to make songs. It would be sad if an artist just wrote songs that they thought would be a good song on the radio, INSTEAD of what they want to write about. If a song is good, it's worth listening too for 10 minutes. Especially if it's written that way. One thing that annoys me is when bands or specifically individual draw out solo's to 10 minutes. In my mind, that's 10 minutes that could've been used on multiple songs, or at least one good song. And I'm sure many people have pointed out that the songs with the slashes in the middle denote two songs that are separate. If you went and saw Green Day live on any given night, you might hear those songs played with other songs. For years, they didn't really ever play Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams together.

Commenting everyday till u post Day 5

Come on, Scream is a duet with his sister Janet Jackson.
