This song should always be listened to with Jaded…it’s a crime not to 😢

Facts

[@buzzbomb67]

As many others have pointed out, this song just seems incomplete without the next song, Jaded, which this one leads into. Like Queen’s We Will Rock You leads into We Are The Champions, and while each song works fairly well by itself, they dont sound complete unless theyre listened to, together

[@UnderARock]

Truth

Jaded sucks.

[@bninem1397]

yeah it's like dark side of the moon the next song fills it

[@45banshee]

At the Mega Hella tour last year when they played this song they right in straight to St. Jimmy and that sounded really good together

[@buzzbomb67]

@@Valorius yep, punk isnt for everyone, but thats ok, Green Day is a great band, regardless

[@keenaheaton8853]

I love the way the guitarist controlled the scratching as a rhythm, and during the chorus the little nuanced harmonics in the scratching that seemed to hit the right notes in the key of the song. Total skill to control that so well

[@zdip2341]

That’s why Tom Morello will always be my favourite guitarist. It’s such a jarring and unique sound but when done well can completely transform the energy of a song

[@Iluvthosetightp]

Great great song! Not a Green Day fan but this song rocks! Try "Hitchin a Ride" it's genius.

[@ninja_tony]

To contrast you a bit, I've been a big Green Day fan for close to 30 years, and I agree, Hitchin a Ride is an awesome song.

[@youravgjoe42]

This is one of my favorite Green Day songs. What sets it apart for me is the pauses between chords setting a very unique rhythm.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

I’ve always felt like GD is a love child between grunge and punk that grew up in a rock neighborhood, lol. I love them ❤️ BTW… I’m diggin the outfit today, Lex!! 🙃

[@pmaster1173]

Hmm idk if I get Grunge from Green Day although they did come around the same time as all big grunge bands.More like lovechild of Punk,Rock and Beatles.

[@dionshare7103]

That about describes Green Day.

[@ricardoidrovo7750]

Grunge actually comes from the 70s and 80s punk. And green day is actually pop-punk.. i know the term nowadays is used for bands like 5 Seconds of summer or sum 41 but nah. Green day was always a punk-pop band, and a really amazing one

[@peterwalsh2470]

It's the same chord progression as Led Zep "Babe I'm gonna leave you" AND Chicago "25 or 6 to 4".

[@paulshaw9953]

Released as a single as a two parter, BrainStew/Jaded, recommend hearing them as they go from one to the other... They Released it on a brain shaped cd which was great

[@elicupp2333]

Most rock radio stations definitely play these as a pair. And now I have to go listen to the song again followed by Jaded. As I can't not hear Jaded after this song. :P

Yep, it's missing Jaded. The contrast makes the whole thing really fun to listen to. I was 16 when the album came out and it saw a heavy rotation as I was in my second year of seriously learning guitar, really helped me a lot.

[@CCDzine]

Lex will grow into Greenday. I had to as an old-timer who wasn't into the first punk movement, thence skeptical of the second wave. But now I fully appreciate what these guys have done and I enjoy every song.

[@krissytina691]

[@johnfleming3757]

Great Song - He can't sleep and there are references to Cross-tops (speed) and being spun (like meth). It seems like he is connecting amphetamines to not being able to sleep. Easy to relate to if you are an insomniac. It' like being in a manic state and no matter what you try to do, you just cannot sleep. No meditation, medication, only mental frustration. Love the show. I love the T-shirt "Genre Fluid""

[@andreww1225]

correct

[@Eyeyamgod]

Yall heard this song dozens of times you just didn't realize it. It's been in a million action movie trailers thru the years lol. It was first featured in that 1998 godzilla movie.

[@Shephchan]

Uh think that's Kashmir Led Zepplin, which she says.

@@Shephchan Brain Stew was in Godzilla. But that’s the only movie I see… so not a million movies.

As a person who suffers from insomnia I totally get every single word of this song.

[@Eowyn187]

[@tinaprice3497]

That song wasn't over. There was a whole another part to it.

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, yep the riffs give Lex the "ooh" factor right away baby! The anticipation is very much there as Brad seemingly prepares for the kicks and snares. And here they come....Brad will analyze but still circum to the drum as he wonders and ponders stewing his brain giving Green Day a steady "side to side sway" while his couch co worker, Lex rocks the f**k out with her "rock show shake bop".

[@synapsem4a1]

Green Day has some amazing gems in their older stuff that I absolutely love. Insomniac and Dookie were insanely good albums through and through, check out anything there really and it’ll be good.

[@keithschofield1158]

My favorite Green Day song is warning it’s a lot obscure but it’s a banger

I think the couch on Lex's side has the springs worn out more than Brad's side, even though she weighs less, she just bounces and rocks out to songs much, much more than Brad.

Great song! But ah man, missing Jaded! Extension to this song, pure fast punk rock right after Brainstew.

[@scapito]

A lot of people compare his vocals with the singers from The Clash (Mick Jones more specifically). Billie Joe Armstrong also sings with a British sounding accent, which is the influence of OG British punk rockers.

[@punkskaterpizza]

Some 90's Green Day fuck yeah!!!

[@labcurmudgeon7935]

As mentioned multiple times, this song needs its partner Jaded. Another song pair by Green Day that is worth checking out is Jinx/Haushinka. Would love to see you react to those two.

[@Valorius]

No. Jaded blows.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

Top hits off of Nimrod for sure. _Nice Guys Finish Last_ and _Hitchin a Ride_ as well! I think Insomniac deserves more love too.

on the album the song goes into another song, and I feel it completes it.

[@darrylvonrokk]

heavy....and kicks ass!!!

[@tazman66gt18]

yep, this is what we played back in high school. Seemed like it was either grunge or country, with some classic rock thrown in.

Man, you two have no problem time traveling back to the 90's.

[@liamdavis4667]

I think the familiarity you might be thinking of is this track was on the soundtrack for the 1998 Godzilla movie. I think it was remixed into a rap song, but I'm not sure who the other artist was.

[@edoliva3264]

This sounds so wrong without Jaded following up after it. Cant believe they are actually 2 different songs. So weird hearing them apart when on shuffle

[@jasminebella4029]

The same thing I was thinkin

[@anthonytorres529]

Hitching a ride!! For a little of that grit you want Lex!

[@JohnDoe-zr8pc]

A song about being high as hell & just sitting in the room, watching the clock tick, because there’s just nothing else to do. Back in the days before everyone had a cellphone, texting, FaceTime, or online gaming/w headsets to talk to each other. Back then, if none of your friends were home, you had no way to communicate with them. Had plenty of those days in my teens back in the early/mid 90s.

[@enjoyesk8978]

Same kind of chord progression as Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4. Maybe 🤔 that’s why it sounds familiar?

[@michaelray6482]

Very funny I was playing a game and my 3 year old was trying to get my attention and he wanted to see that he was watching one of your reactions lol

[@jdevlin1910]

I know this is old now but Sabbath was such a great shout as an influence on this, I'd never considerd that before but I can totally hear it now.

[@billmcandrew9210]

This is from their album called Insomniac that album is heavy. I’m a Green Day fanatic if you like heavy Green Day…listen to Bang Bang, Geek Stink Breath, St. Jimmy those are heavy especially Bang Bang

[@continentalaquatics2725]

The song is about frontman Billie Joe’s infamous battles with insomnia. The album this song is from is aptly title “Insomniac.”

Ive never been a big Green Day fan, but back in the day I got the album this song is off of called Insomniac by mistake from BMG music club (who remembers that?) and I ended up playing it over and over. Couldnt get into any of their other music that I have heard though.

[@randomando1346]

Being "spun out" is a drug reference, usually associated with meth. So basically, it's a song about being alone in his room, past the point of being delirious from lack of sleep, high on meth. Still a great song though!

[@txrojas]

The riff is a slow version of Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4.
