Worst song of the day: Green Day, “21 Guns”


This song actually isn’t so bad. Except that it sounds like Green Day trying to do “The Scientist”, which is just wrong. To top it all off, the radio played “Basket Case” right after it, which despite being 15 years older sounded much fresher. I guess it's good that Green Day is maturing, rather than desperately attempting to replicate their Dookie sound. But I don’t have to like it.

BONUS FACT: According to Wikipedia, “Basket Case” is a take on Pachebel’s “Canon in D”?! Damn

Bonus bonus fact: The bass riff to "When I Come Around" is really fun to play, despite requiring no talent whatsoever.
