What is Give Me Novacaine by Green Day about?
404199
it's about forgetting things that have gone wrong and it might be about drugs. also i think that all songs are about what you want them to be. and remember this is supposed to be a punk rock opera so the whole CD is a story.

Yes that song is great! U2 is considered the greater band but I actually prefer Green Day. Basket Case and When I Come Around are awesome. The Brittish really to like them eh? Maybe because even though they're Americans, they hate America...lol.

green day is my favorite band, and in my opinion they are the best band ever, and other ppl might not think the same and thats ok. i dont care. i just care about green day. i luv them to death.\n\nEMO is short for EMOTIONAL so in a way, EVERYONE is EMO because EVERYONE has EMOTIONS! duh. ne ways. oh and by the way, LABELS R FOR CANS! green day isnt "EMO". i hate when ppl say they r. they think cuz they wear black eyeliner and wear darker clothes or sumthin, then theyre "EMO". look, they dress the way they wanna. just cuz their music rox and u cant even get outta ur garage doesnt mean u have to bust on them. also ppl think theyre "EMO" cuz of sum of their songs on American Idiot being "slower" than their "old stuff". most ppl relate green day to being "EMO" thru Blv of Brken Dreams. just cuz u have one EMOTIONAL song doesnt make u "EMO".\n\nthe reason they are awsome is because of what they write about. they sing about teenagers having issues in their life, trying to find themselves. they put their music out for themselves. they write and sing what ever the f they want and u know what, its not for u, its for them.\n\noh and to all u ppl who think their "new stuff" sux, its not that "new" ne more. its a few yrs old now. and all of their "old stuff", wtf! which "old stuff"? there is 1,039/smoothed out slappy hours and kerplunk before Dookie, so what do u mean by "old stuff"? plus theres other old stuff, like insomniac, and nimrod... plus more! sum1 tell me how green day is "sold out" or "overplayed"? if u listen to their "old stuff" doesnt that mean that their "old stuff" is REALLY REALLY "overplayed"?! hello!? is ne 1 there!? if u like/luv green day, then u should like or luv it all! i dont care if u think the "old stuff" is better than the "new" but at least give respct to the "new stuff". if u totally blow American Idiot off by hating it so much and thinking that green day sux cuz theyve become mainstream, then u were never a true fan.\n\nthis following peice is to all of those who hated green day for making dookie, cuz the same s**t is happening again thu American Idiot.\nwhats the difference between playing in front of a small group of ppl @ Gilmore st. who know ur lyrics, compared to 50,000 ppl  in Giants Stadium who know those same f ing lyrics? just because they became successfull in putting their music out, letting others relate to them, and letting others hear them, doesnt mean they r ne different. what, do u just wanna keep them all to urselves!? is that y u hated them for signing with reprise and putting out dookie? ur f ing retarded u selfish B@$*@*ds! just because green day is successull and ppl listen to them, relate to their lyrics, and luv them, doesnt mean u have to be dfferent and hate them.\n\nAmerican Idiot... everyone knows of it, has heard of it... etc... but ppl mistake it for just politicalness. it isnt jsut a bash on bush, (bush sux). lol. it is a story of Jesus of Suburbia trying to find his way in life, meeting St. Jimmy, trying new things(give me novacaine), and falling in luv with Whatsername (shes a rebel). the whole cd is a story, yes its political, look at holiday, but its not just politics, but an adventure of a teen confused in life and doesnt know what to do, so he leaves. Blv. of Brken Dreams is a song about how JOS doesnt haven ne place to live, ne $$$ or ne food and hes basically homeless. dont think Green Day is "EMO" cuz of Blv. of Brken Dreams. its a chapter in JOS's life that he has to conqure, my life, and everyone elses life (at least once)! dont tell me uve never been sum hard times.\n\nsrry this is so long but i have to get it all out!\n\ni luv green day and i think that they are the greatest band ever, TO ME!\nbye!\n\nluv,\njess

Green Day was part of the California punk scene. Childhood friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass; born Mike Pritchard) formed their first band, Sweet Children, in Rodeo, California when they were 14 years old. By 1989, the group had added drummer Al Sobrante and changed their name to Green Day. That year, the band independently released their first EP, 1,000 Hours, which was well-received in the punk scene. Soon, the group had signed a contract with the local independent label, Lookout! Records. 39/Smooth, Green Day's first album, was released later that year. Shortly after its release, the band replaced Kiftmeyer with Tre Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright, III); Tre Cool became the band's permanent drummer. \nThroughout the early '90s, Green Day continued to cultivate a cult following, which only gained strength with the release of their second album, 1992's Kerplunk. The underground success of Kerplunk led to a wave of interest from major record labels; the band eventually decided to sign with Reprise. Dookie, Green Day's major label debut, was released in the spring of 1994. Thanks to MTV support for the initial single "Longview," Dookie became a major hit. The album continued to gain momentum throughout the summer, with the second single "Basket Case" spending five weeks on the top of the American modern rock charts. At the end of the summer, the band stole the show at Woodstock '94, which helped the sales of Dookie increase. By the time the fourth single "When I Come Around" began its seven-week stay at number one in the modern rock charts in early 1995, Dookie had sold over five million copies in the US alone; it would eventually top eight million in America, selling over eleven million copies internationally. Dookie also won the 1994 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance. \n\nGreen Day quickly followed Dookie with Insomniac in the fall of 1995; during the summer, they hit number one again on the modern rock charts with "J.A.R.," their contribution to the Angus soundtrack. Insomniac performed well initially, entering the US charts at number two, and selling over two million copies by the spring of 1996, yet none of its singles -- including the radio favorite "Brain Stew/Jaded" -- were as popular as those from Dookie. In the spring of 1996, Green Day abruptly cancelled a European tour, claiming exhaustion. Following the cancellation, the band spent the rest of the year resting and writing new material. The end result is what is called by many, the best album of their career, Nimrod. \n\nNimrod was well recieved by most critics and fans. The album sold 80,000 copies in it's first week to land at #10 on the Billboard charts. The first single from Nimrod was "Hitchin' A Ride".  The single made it to #5 on the modern rock charts and was in heavy rotation on MuchMusic and MTV. The next single the band released would not make it to number one (it's highest position was #2), but it is now probably the most well known songs Green Day ever wrote. Featuring Billie Joe on accoustic guitar and vocals, "Time Of Your Life" became the song to play in any remotely sad situation. The song was even used on the last ever episode of the hit TV show Seinfeld (it was also the most watched finale in the history of TV). Along with Seinfeld, the song was also played on E.R on two different shows. Nimrod has sold about two million copies, the lowest sales total out of their three major label albums, but it probably garnered the band more respect than they could have expected with another Dookie or Insomniac. The band also vastly improved their live show and even one "Best Live Performance" at the Kerrang awards. \n\nAfter nearly two years with barely any mention of the band, Green Day returned in late 1999 to play Neil Young's "Bridge School Benefit Concert", their first live accoustic p

Good Riddance by Green Day, and In this Diary by the Ataris

Especially which line??? But that's okay, here's the meaning of the song: This song is about Billie Joe's Dad who died of cancer when Billie was only 10 years old. (in September of 1982) The Wake Me Up When September Ends part comes from the painful memories that return in the month of his father's pass (obviously September) and Billie just wants to sleep through the month, wake up and the whole thing was just a horrible dream...Listen to that song again to feel it. Though the clip was about war, but originally it's about his daddy.

It might mean you're listening to a song of that name by a popular '70's group, "Deep Purple".\n\nHere's the inspiration for the lyrics:\nThe lyrics of the song tell a true story: on December 7, 1971, Deep Purple had set up camp at Montreux, Switzerland to record an album using a mobile recording studio (rented from the Rolling Stones and known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio) at the entertainment complex that was part of the Montreux Casino (referred to as "the gambling house" in the song lyric). On the eve of the recording session a concert featuring Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention was held in the casino's theatre; during the concert a fire broke out (said to be caused by a Swiss fan shooting a flare gun in the ceiling, as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line) that eventually destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass player Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he suddenly woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched the fire from their hotel across the lake. The "funky Claude" running in and out is referring to Claude Nobs, the director of the Montreux Jazz Festival who helped some of the audience to escape the fire.
