Talk:Longview (song)

message: Isn't that more of an opinion?  I don't think that's appropriate for an encyclopedia.
*Well...it's an opinion that I share.  He really does look like it.  But I see how that's kind of POV.  It really should be changed, but I don't feel like it right now.  If it's important enough to someone else than they can do it. Tigger89 22:58, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

message: If there are no objections, i'm going to remove the statement that this song is much like The Damned's song "New Rose." Yes, they both feature drum lead-ins and fast guitars, but so do OH so many songs. (Kinda like saying they sound like Guns 'N' Roses because both bands use drums, bass, and guitar) It's a pointless statement, as apart from those two common features, the two songs sound nothing alike.
I'll wait a day or two to see if anyone has a reason for me not to deleat it.

message: The band Green Day took a trip to Longview, Washington. In the town of Longview, Washington, there is said to be nothing to do, and the townspeople just sit down on chairs in their houses and talk. With nothing to do, the band was basically bored to death, which provoked them to write the song and name it after the town Longview, Washington.
Is it me, or does this seem incrediblely redundant? Longview, Washington is mentioned 3 times, when one would suffice.

replies: text: I believe there's an excerpt in the biography by Mark Spitz, Nobody Likes You; Inside the Turbulent Life, Times, and Music of Green Day which talks about Longview at length, but I may be mistaken. Catherine.chapman17 (talk) 14:41, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

message: At the risk of sounding like a fanboy...
"Mike Dirnt has stated that the famous bass line to this song was written while he was high, and what remains on the album is what Billie Joe and he could recall in the morning."
Greenday played this song live as early as late 1992; I realize that the quoted material is a semi-official account, but its veracity is suspect.  If the song was recorded in 1993 and Dirnt claims it was written the night before recording, then something is amiss. user:smallwhitelight
I think that sentence means that they probably just played it in the morning again, the portions they could remember.  Dannysjgdf (talk) 05:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello wikipedians,
just letting you know that the talk sections that seemed to be confused re: which Longview and why Longview, geographically have been compiled (so sections Texas? and Song Idea are now in the section Longview Title Attribution and Association). Please refer to that section for future debate and discussion regarding cities named Longview. Catherine.chapman17 (talk) 14:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
