[edit] 25 or 6 to 4

It was actually an issue of Guitar World which brought this to my attention, but has anyone else noticed the similarity in chord-structure between "Brain Stew" and "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago? The opening riffs are almost exactly the same, except the amount of times each chord is struck is cut in half on "Brain Stew". Plus, Green Day's guitar work during this period was tuned one step down, but otherwise, they're the same. Perhaps we should include something like this?...

"The opening guitar riff bears a striking resemblance to Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4""

Ha, so I'm not the only one who noticed this.

[edit] drug references

interpretations of the song were amended to specify amphetamine withdrawl, due to the references to crosstops, periods of sleeplessness, and being "spun." Previously, the page gave a vugue desctiption of "sicknes."

[edit] Vinyl?

I don't think this was ever released on Vinyl, should we take that out of the format? --Imatt711 21:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I own the vinyl single. You're probably uninformed that many albums and singles are STILL released in vinyl - especially by punk and indie rock bands (notably in Britian) - but record chains like FYE and Virgin MegaStore don't carry them. Check your local independently owned record store, Newbury Comics (if you live in New England) or online. Doc Strange 13:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
