The Green Day Retrospective (Episode 4): Revolution Radio

[@CZsWorld]

I'd love to see Blink-182 as the next Retrospective.

[@bttrl8thnspncr]

CZ WHAT'S POPPIN MY GUY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@therocksocietyw]

Yo CZ

[@shaggymatt92jacobs70]

It has finally become complete...thank you for all of your effort crash...

[@gbollo91]

Forever now didnt get enough love. Genuinely one of the best songs the band have ever written, especially live

[@mattbaillargeon5688]

Agreed

[@l4dhuntersmoker]

100% , this album in general is underrated asf

[@DippyDoink]

I think a Radiohead Retrospect would be really interesting

[@ThierryRocksTV]

At least Radiohead's least good album is the first one so we can get it over and done with lol

[@Falxifer95]

@@ThierryRocksTV and King of Limbs

[@ThierryRocksTV]

@@Falxifer95 Oh yeah King of Limbs was boring af

[@tomawsomeSaUCE]

always wondered about the painting it's real cool

[@CrashThompson]

Thanks. I’m super proud of Codey’s work on that. Dude, is crazy talented.

[@rarttart3725]

What about a nirvana retrospective. That would be sick as hell.

[@mr.otaku2399]

The Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabath, The Who, so many great bands...

[@nicholasheal5925]

@Sebastian Parker blink 182/+44/Angels&Airwaves

[@fun101productions9]

Rart Tart That would be fucking great

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

The problem with a nirvana retrospective is everything they did was great.

[@benhemsworth8555]

Rart Tart it’d be one video, but goddamn it’d work.

[@Flameking20]

Wow The amount of effort, blood, sweat, and tears you put into making this series really shows and you cemented yourself as one of my favourite KZbinrs ever Cheers!

[@superanimenerd13]

I'm loving the new direction Crash! It seems like something you'll be able to sustain a lot more easily too with less reliance on skits and special effects! Here's to a recharged RC!

[@sploosh0627]

Part 4.5 "The Longshot"

[@adi9880]

Yes exactly

[@adi9880]

Or maybe he should wait to see if green day comes with anything new Lol

[@brnaps]

NO.

[@louiethorne1955]

Gibby DeLaRosa this was part 4

[@sploosh0627]

Louie Thorne my bad part 5

[@sirtoby2070]

Watching this glowing review and then immediately watching TheNeedleDrop take a shit on this album is like hopping out of a jacuzzi and then jumping into a freezing cold pool. YIKES

[@jackcastillo9124]

The “No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!” came from M.D.C. in newer performances of Born To Die. On the original album from 1980 it was “No war! No KKK! No fascist USA!”

[@jackcastillo9124]

The album is called Millions Of Dead Cops And it’s pretty legit.

[@mrworldwide1213]

thanks man gonna check it out

[@AnIdiotsLantern]

Thank you for opening my eyes to this album. It rocks. Listening to it a lot these days.

[@CrashThompson]

Happy to oblige! It's a hell of treat.

[@kunalsharma2098]

Agreed.

[@nihilisthetic]

Hey, Green Day’s “hiatus” of sorts wasn’t too bad for me. That’s when I really got into their back catalogue, in particular 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk. I had been a huge Green Day fan since 2010 when I was about 9, but I was only aware of their discography from Dookie onward. Listening to their more raw, punkier and more low-fi songs was a great experience and I have grown to love the songs off the first two albums as much as I love the rest of their work.

[@lizucavictoria]

the new backdrop is really badass.

[@silenceenigma587]

The beginning of Somewhere Now is a nice call back to Disappearing Boy from 39/Smooth. Most importantly, great video as always, Crash

[@rattailtony2900]

I might give Revolution Radio a spin or two after this, the clips shown here sounded great. Thanks for covering the whole Green Day history so far! now do one for simple plan plz lol

[@trevore1651]

Do a Blink 182 retrospective or The Offspring

[@braydentobin5150]

I don’t know if this album would come out if Billie didn’t have “ONE FUCKING MINUTE!” in the iheart radio concert.

[@koythomas9715]

I firmly believe Dirnt playing Dookie levels of flashy would’ve hurt the album. Part of what makes this album sound so big and full is Dirnt playing the support instead of the lead.

[@maybemonarque]

Thanks for all your hard work, Crash! I’ve been following this Retrospective since the first episode, and it really got me into your channel. You make excellent review videos and I’m looking forward to more interesting content, thank you!

[@CrashThompson]

Thank ye kindly! Glad you've enjoyed the series!

[@JaViEr0248]

This new, reinvented and simple way of making Rock Critic episodes is fantastic. Keep it up Crash!

[@dalewindeckerjr.3663]

You're such a good and dedicated critic! I love hearing long, well thought-out opinions on things I love, whether it's my opinion or not. And your content always makes me happy and I'm genuinely excited to watch your videos. Thank you for this retrospective!

[@flixoran9039]

Love the piano version of Still Breathing at the end. Great series! Enjoyed every minute of it! :)

[@Woeiservin]

Awesome video crash! Love the back-drop!

[@jakobsanchez738]

Thanks for all you've done with this series! As a lifelong Green Day fan, it was everything I ever wanted. (Also, your Against Me shirt and your new background are top notch. :D)

[@shaggymatt92jacobs70]

Love the new backdrop btw

[@davemac9563]

I get that you aren’t the biggest fan of Green Day, but this album was very concise and felt like it had more passion put into it. I don’t regret listening to this album, and it holds a special place in my heart.

[@jayybirdberg6545]

Great video Crash.. Thank you for your great service in Rock music. Keep iy up. \m/

[@DrWattson]

Congrats on finally slaying the Big Green Monster, Crash! It's been a long road, but I hope it was as fulfilling for you as it was for us. Like, I know from your Twitter just how much of a... chore this retrospective became for you, but I sincerely hope you found some satisfaction in completing it. All that being said, this was a great conclusion. I was already a huge Green Day fan when the retrospective started (as in, like, American Idiot is my favorite album of all time level of fan), but part one and part three in particular of your retrospective really put everything in perspective and helped me appreciate the band even more knowing everything that went on in their lives. We may disagree on a couple things (like I actually enjoy quite a few tracks from 21st Century Breakdown and consider RevRad as one of the band's top five alongside Kerplunk), but like you say, the only opinion that really matters is your own. Plus, your retrospective convinced me to give Warning a chance... and I now love it. Once again, congratulations on finishing the series and I wish you luck with your future content!

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

Another excellent analysis. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the future of this channel now that the handcuffs will be off.

[@brandonsroo4008]

this was great. the no bullshit, all review approach really worked, and i'm looking forward to more episodes with it.

[@tbslandfill]

love that new wave shirt!

[@virre_vicke_]

Thank you for this retrospective! I have loved it from the first episode. Keep up the good work man, we love you!

[@atticusrosales298]

Crash wearing an Against Me shirt is perfect for this episode since they went on tour together for this album

[@twall91]

Good work on the whole retrospective man! Green Day holds a very special place in my heart... I’d love to see a similar retrospective on Slipknot! I feel like they’d be a gold mine for you

[@cookie-ci1jz]

Yay another episode in the series that got me into Green Day

[@kunalsharma2098]

Believe me you will love them/the band forever! They are just diff..

[@jonathangillis4926]

Outlaws is such a great song. There are some really underrated songs on this album. Overall this album is really good

[@LilaREmber]

Next you should do the history of dave grohl or the sad tale of paramore or something like that

[@Xx_L1v1ng_H3L_xX]

TheSroolik that paramore series would be great

[@LilaREmber]

QuothTheRaven well paramore's history will probably take around one or two episodes: the emo phase and growing up

[@Xx_L1v1ng_H3L_xX]

TheSroolik that’d be pretty frickin sick. Honestly, I like Paramore’s emo days better than their newer stuff. I just like the emo sound more than the retro pop thing they’re going for now.

[@LilaREmber]

QuothTheRaven it's more about looking at a band growing up and overcoming the MANY obstacles thrown in their way, that's also true for dave's story

[@DeeZeeGuitar]

So its all done, great job crash, that was an awesome video to close this beast on!

[@JadeCryptOfWonders]

Glad we got a Secret Origins on that Crash painting you had on the wall for years, I'll miss these four hour epic retrospectives.

[@noog0909]

This is the first video I've seen of yours, and it's fantastic. Instant subscription, and you've got yourself a new fan. Revolution Radio is probably a top-3 GD album for me behind Nimrod and Dookie. Every song (except Troubled Times) bangs.

[@justincasey8493]

I've loved green day since I heard American idiot for the first time when I was 11, this album made me fall back in love with the band after the trilogy made me almost abandon them completely Thanks for covering one of my favorite bands crash

[@delimex3795]

To me this is crash's masterpiece this is such a beautiful video there is a lot to be learned about struggle. Resilience hope and trying to find peace in pain from this video music fan or not green day fan or not everyone should watch this at least once i have been going to this video anytime i need some assurance that even when things could be better it will be okay i especially needed this today and this year in general the first time i watched this it made me emotional in the best way possible.

[@jehrnandez21]

Now you need to do a series about My Chemical Romance so I can rest in peace.

[@PresidentialAI96]

And then Father Of All Motherfuckers came out...

[@theclassicjaguar8781]

Your videos always make my day better . I truly enjoy your videos .Thank you .

[@416nWild]

33:17 THIS IS TRAINWRECKORDS

[@noyou9847]

THe Longshot next? I personally think the Longshot is to keep them in practice/experiment for a new album w/out pulling a trilogy again

[@bigsirenguy]

Casen Connell The only member of Green Day that’s in the Longshot is Billie.

[@davchr214]

I see Mae's The Everglow in the background!! One of my fav albums of the 2000's!!!

[@emersonmullane1243]

These videos are so (rev) rad my guy. Keep on rocking

[@kylehegedus5498]

And nice use of “A Day In The Life” at the beginning!!!

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

Did not expect a sly Johnny the Homicidal Maniac reference. I used to love that comic book in high school............ I dunno fi I still would, lol. When you were talking about how the band was trying to do too much extra shit and how it affected their quality, took away from what people came to for in the first place, it was pretty clear to me that you were talking about yourself aswell. I've been watching and supporting you for 3 years now and while I've had a few issues here and there with your videos, I always knew that what you said came from a good place. Regardless of whether we agreed or disagreed, it never felt like you were insulting or looking down on anyone for feeling differently about something and I always respected that about you. I just wanted to let you know that regardless of whether you praise an album I loathe or trash an album I hold dear, that I similarly respect your opinion as you've always respected mine and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for the future............... you're still wrong about Dream Theater though. XD

[@CrashThompson]

See, I knew Dream Theater was gonna up there. Haha. 😆 Thank you man! I appreciate all the support you’ve given over the years. Sincerely! 🤘

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

You knew I had to throw it in there, haha.

[@Justin-th6lk]

16:31 Why didn’t anyone tell me Tim was in the music video how did I not notice wtf

[@episodicanalysis]

Oasis Retrospective?

[@panick_9550]

green day got announced as an induction into the rock and roll hall of fame on my 20th birthday that is just plain poetic (got into this band with American idiot when i was 9 years old and caused me to pick up my first electric guitar and learned the whole album and kept playing to this day)

[@panick_9550]

also love the piano instrumental to still breathing that is put throughout this video its so damn fitting

[@Revanites2113]

You made Sing the Sorrow just visible throughout the video. God bless you.

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

For the record...I never watched you 'in spite of' that 'extra stuff.' That was part of the REASON I watched you. But I understand why you abandoned it--it is possible to burn out on that stuff. And I'm glad we finally made it here.

[@williamfox17]

IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!!!!

[@sabrinarei3052]

I watched this the whole time anticipating when Still Breathing would pop up and I wasn't disappointed. I think it edges out Bang Bang by a razor thin margin for best of the album.

[@alexonfireee]

Dude i love you man, i seriously do

[@kunalsharma2098]

Man I really loved your work, you may not have a great videos like in between but you still made it really nice specially spending over 4:30+ hrs explaining about Green Day and God knows how many months it took for writing and all behind works. There were moments where I do disagree with you bit still it was amazing to hear all that anyways, nice points man. And some things you just said were really New to me as I'm a core Green Day fan for life(lol), this was not about what you said it's about what you produced and that hard work you have done for it to be an almost perfect series. And yeah I really loved that still breathing piano cover in background.(if you can give it somehow than plzz) Well done bro, thanks for this amazing series of my favorite, life band GREEN DAY💗💚! God bless you for your success ahead.

[@BudduredToast]

Dude, thank you. I was disappointed in 21st century breakdown, and the trilogy broke my heart. I took a step away from the band after that. Your retrospective review inspired me to check out revolution radio. So glad I did. Feels like meeting up with an old friend.

[@eliteretribution1971]

Great videos, man! I’ve been watching your channel a lot recently and you make damn good videos. Keep it up!

[@WoodstockProd]

Who did the piano version of still breathing you have playing in the background at the beginning and end?

[@bradentwidwell7955]

17:26-18:02 best eric cartman imitation I've ever seen. Dude ur awesome can't wait to see more

[@darriancampbell9928]

The 5 people that disliked are iHeartRadio employees

[@brianlose4952]

Loving the new (old?) format. I remember thinking during th GDR stuff that as enjoyable as they were they could benefit from a trim and you pulled that off excellently! Like the idea for the new background as well, though if I have a small complaint your outfit does blend in with it a little l. Maybe a light color filter over the background just to seperate you and it a little? Just a thought! Very excited to see the new direction for the show! You seem very rejuvenated!

[@mannmedic5648]

Aww yeah, was glad to see this in my feed!

[@rockmovieswithtyler1989]

Digging the wallpaper Crash, ...but Rocking with Robby did it first. The difference is the choices in albums for the most part. Great stuff as always and looking forward to what you'll do next with the other projects you've been working on.

[@moho7779]

This is what I needed on a Sunday

[@DeathMachineJoe]

Great way to end this series. Love the new backdrop even it's a bit slanted, but a nice change. Excited for more videos now that the big green monster is dead!

[@As_in_gamer]

Hey can i ask you to cover the Longshot, the band featuring Billie Joe Armstrong, Jeff Matika and 2 guys from primadonna band

[@MrEnzio777]

I'm definitely curious on where to find that piano ballad version of Still Breathing. It adds a haunting tone to an otherwise energetic and triumphant sounding song and I'm SUPER curious where to find that version of the song.

[@alexconn6149]

Rev Rad is Green Day’s EWBAITE

[@toxicinsanity659]

the whole thing about the mix making you turn the volume up is one of my main complaints about the album it just makes false impact thats not really there

[@stellarbabe]

Toxic Insanity yeah it's fun with Bang Bang but the whole album is kinda like that and it bothers me a little

[@delk1299]

This is dynamic sound done wrong, because the louder parts are too godamn loud

[@Soundwave11037]

Can we get a Gorillaz retrospective, or one on Blur

[@polixter421]

Nice end, though I am a little disappointed with not mentioning God’s favorite band or anything really after RevRad. But thematically, it was nice how you tied GD into how you make retrospectives. Hopefully we can get some commentary on some of these for the stuff you missed before potentially tackling MCR?

[@CrashThompson]

Actually yes! I do plan on doing commentaries on this and RAFOW somewhere in the near future so I will totally address stuff like that!

[@polixter421]

Yeah because the bands progressed after both the ends of your retrospectives and largely not in the way you’d think. I mean, Billy has two sons making their own awesome music and Weezer kind of is in a pretty weird place again that’s not quite at the EWBAITE hype but still not really at a Raditude slump.

[@Crimson_Cheetah]

It would be totally awesome if he did MCR.

[@jefferyjones8399]

Does anyone else get Mark David Chapman vibes from "Bang Bang"? Revolution Radio is the best thing they've done in so very long and I am a big fan of 21CBD. It sounds like they've managed to grow up AND return to form at the same time. I would like to hear your thoughts on Billie Joe's new project, The Longshot?

[@Themoushtaceleague96]

Thank you! Someone agrees that Still Breathing is one of the best songs off this fantastic album!

[@henriktheonly3874]

Episode 5: The Longshot and coffee

[@switchblade9records]

Ep6 father of all mother fuckres

[@InfiniteBeak]

Can't believe you didn't talk about Say Goodbye, that's my favourite track on here

[@williamfox17]

This episode is the RevRad equivalent of the series. At least in my opinion. Take that how you will.

[@Logan912]

Hey! An [insert personal favorite band here] retrospective would be great!

[@CMOYoung]

Does anybody else hear Drain You in Too Dumb To Die?

[@supersaiyandeathmetalgod]

17:25-18:01 Did Crash just re-enact how Star Wars fans act on the internet?

17:17 Death Magnetic to Metallica fans in a nutshell

[@kristismith3662]

It's funny because it's true

[@nicholasnolan2086]

American idiot was also a green day sounding album. In fact the point of the album was to show everyone after warning that they are still punk.

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

Will you include The Longshot in GDR 5? Also, why is To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere not in your background-album-collage-thingy?

[@CrashThompson]

There won't be a GDR 5. I may try to talk about Longshot in a Quickie, but fair warning, I didn't think much of it. :/

[@johnathom-v3y]

Crash Thompson what about FOA?

[@hellonurd8957]

My favorite tracks off Revolution Radio are the title track, Bang Bang, Somewhere Now, Outlaws, Too Dumb To Die & Still Breathing (Fuck Still Breathing was the Wake Me Up When September Ends that got me to cry!)

[@alexigra2235]

Bang Bang is Green Day going into thrash territory. Their best ever in my opinion.

[@jacobscott2830]

Great review dude! It’d be great to see a RHCP retrospective if you still feel like doing any.
