Yes. One of the album that got me into alternative music, the others being "Does This Look Infected?" by Sum 41, "The War On Errorism" by NOFX, and "Open Your Eyes" by Goldfinger.
@@Karmy. I love Nimrod, it's so close to being my favorite, but Good Riddance kind of stains it. Billie Joe songs super off key, and the song really isn't good. Because of that, American Idiot still comes on top
I wasn't alive when this album came out (I was born much later), but I'm a sucker for throwback albums in the rock genre. Green Day is no exception. And while I might be late in the game, Dookie will always hold a special place in my mind and heart.
from what i've heard, during the album's creation, the band was on tour. all three members had diarrhea from eating the tour bus food, and they originally wanted to name the album "liguid dookie" because of it.
Holy shit, this is no joke my favourite album of all time. Without this album, I would’ve never gotten into classic punk,then one thing led to another and now I’m listening to all sorts of metal
dude this is my favorite album of all time. i discovered it when i was like 5 years old and it kickstarted my passion for music. seeing you covering this in this fashion is so cool to see
Even being one of the most popular punk rock bands in the world, Green Day is still underrated. Billie Joe is one of the best song writers there ever has been. All the more amazing when a lot of the songs are built off basic power chords. Tre Cool is a phenominal drummer, and Mike can lay down one steaming bass line. If you have ever seen one of their more modern live shows, you would know they put on the best concert you will ever see. I saw them front row 10 years ago, and it was probably my favorite show ever. Even compared to all the classic rock legends I've seen.
I like Dookie. Grew up with it at school. But American Idiot is my favourite Green Day album. Classic after classic song. Great writing and production and original in concept.
Cool of you to share what your first cd that you ever bought was. My first was The Battle of Los Angeles from Rage Against the Machine. Anyways great ATF episode as always!!
i was either in 8th or 9th grade when this came out and i LOVE IT....my favorite song is "EMENIUS SLEEPUS"....i paused the first second of the video and typed this comment before seeing your review....to claim my favorite before i hear what you say about it
My first album was Fuel's Natural Selection, while clearly not a band that stood the test of time, I still go back to that album for pure nostalgia #neverforgetyourfirst
My first was American Idiot, I was in kindergarten and my neighbor had shown me Green Day so I bought that album and still listen to it all the time, but not as much as Dookie 🤘🏻
For some reason, the Rock Band version of Burnout has 3 part vocal harmonies on the line Dead before the drum solo begins, there are also 2 part voices for the previous word. Only the middle voice is used in the retail version, the former harmony is omitted, and I don't know why.
I love The Dookie jokes lol. This is one of the greatest albums of all time. I might be a little bias because I’m a huge Green Day fan and fan of 90s rock/alternative.
Insomniac was awesome. Unfortunately it kinda came out at a weird time for the band which is what caused it to be the least memorable 90s Green Day album. Right after the decade-defining Dookie and before the Gen Y favorite Nimrod (Time of your Life was epic in the late 90s)
Was looking for a concert to take my older kids (19 and 23) to...tried to find a band we all knew...Green Day was it!!! I was amazed at their live show...they were surprisingly fantastic!
When I was a baby, my dad used to sing some Green Day lyrics to me from Dookie, and I apparently would giggle and coo. I’m now almost 26 and Green Day is still my favorite band. Finally saw them back in 2017 in concert. One of the best moments I will ever have in my life tbh.
I was about 14 when this album came out and I can honestly say this album and Smash by The Offspring changed my life. My tastes have certainly grown more nuanced since then, but those bands opened up a new world for me. I listened to a lot of my parents' music and while they did listen to some great stuff, this is where I started to branch out on my own and discover a whole new world outside of what I inherited from them.
I will admit they aren't my favorites, but I genuinely do love Uno Dos Tré. They are generally best listened to all together in a massive block, but I know not too many people have that kinda time. (Myself included these days) The songs aren't meant to be taken seriously, they wrote the songs just like any other album, each following a theme. Uno is a Pop Rock album, Dos is actually finishing songs from what was supposed to be the second Foxboro Hot Tubs album, and Tré is based on their more anthemic songs without the concept album factor. I know I'm not gonna change anybody's minds on them, but I feel they get way more hate than they deserve.
The main reason people hate those is that they are way more pop-punk than anything else Green Day recorded, and no one wants the band classified as such. For me, the trilogy was a ton of fun, and I loved it when I was 17, but I do think that Dos is way better than Uno and Tré. Stray Heart is great, and Amy is easily the best song on it.
@@thisisawsome34253212 I agree, i'd say Dos is the best of the three. Tre was solid. But Uno, was dragged down by the second half of it I thought. The songs were nothing great. It's their worst album i'd say.
Oh by the way thanks Luke for mentioning Avatar. So many times. I finally broke down and start listening to him. And damn. They are good. And dookie...hope to see them live one day.
"She" blew my mind. About 18 years ago, I was 40 and I ending a bad marriage. When I heard Billie Joe sing "She's figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view", I couldn't believe that a young man, a perfect stranger, could understand me so completely. I will always love Green Day!
Some time ago, I took an evening course in American Sign Language. One task the class had to do was choose a song and perform it in ASL. While everyone else chose songs along the lines of "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round", I chose "Basket Case". It was an interesting performance, at least in my mind.
I remember going to the music store the day that album was released and at my local music shop there was a bench for listening to a selection of just released albums. I sat down and listened to the entire album and as soon as it ended I went to the counter and demanded they took my money. Saw them seven or eight times soon after.
great video! please do a review of [Electron Drive] by Kerns and the Hemispheres. theyre a super underground prog rock band from Minneapolis and deserve way more attention
Can you imagine how happy I was when Billie Joe said when they played Belgrade conceret in 2013 that they will play Dookie album in full??? Awww, that was awesome!!!
This album was my jr high (middle school). Still love it, know every word and even my daughter loves the album. I grew up in a small town with a crappy AM radio so never heard Green Day on the radio, but Much Music and the CD someone introduced me to got me hooked. After moving to Fredericton NB, I only recently learned that they actually performed here once, back in 1995. BUT... because Billy dropped his pants and underwear on stage (at an all ages show) they were then banned from performing in our province again. Not sure for how long, but I don't think they've ever been back this way since.
My favourite lyric of ALL Green Day songs comes on When I Come Around... "you may find out that your self doubt means nothing was ever there, you can't go forcing something is it's just not right" this resonates with me SO hard, to this day... and I've known that line for 25 years!
I will admit, when Dookie first came out (I was 20 and in college at the time), I want really much of a fan. I kind of liked when I come around, but I was full blown into the thrash metal scene, discovered progressive metal, and was starting to really appreciate really old punk. Didn't resonate with me, but it grew on me, and easily their best album, imo. Basket case is my favorite. Fantastic songwriting. Yes, simple and effective. Good review.
Dookie was my first CD I ever owned. I was 10years old then. You can listen to this Ablum from front to back and every song is awesome. There not many ablums that you can do that with. Still one of my all time favorite ablums.
this album came out 3 years before i was born but it was still the album that made me fall in love with punk. warning was the album that introduced me to greenday
I remember that Green Day was one of the first bands a knew and my dad had dookie and nimrod on cd and I had the CD player in my room and listened to them endlessly.
I don't get why people feel they have to defend 'having a blast' by pointing out that it was written before mass shootings became common. I don't think it maters. Enjoying 'Angel of Death' by Slayer doesn't make you a nazi so why should Green Day be apologetic?
i bought my first CD which was American Idiot when I was in middle school........ i asked my parents for a cheap Squier guitar and learned every song on that CD..... Green Day got me into playing guitar.........
