All hail to Jerry Finn, who was responsible for the sound of so many pop-punk records in this second wave, rip ♥️

Was never a big fan of Green Day my friends loved them. I was into more aggressive punk. 30 years later and I just gave dookie another shot. Great fucking album. Just really fucking good.

I'm a hip hop head, and I have over 500 vinyl records in my collection. Dookie is my one and only non-rap record that I own. Fucking awesome album. I even got my 14 year old daughter into them, and now that's her favorite band.

Dookie is just the perfect album

1:27 i never noticed the 409 in the coffee maker in this photo before

Dookie was the very 1st CD I ever owned

A few weeks after Dookie came out they played a free outdoor show at Virgin Megastore in Newport Beach Ca, and there were like 100 people there.

Their keen interest in learning Beatles songs at such a young age is a great insight into how they became such capable songwriters. The descending line in “Help” is just about the last thing you’d expect a young punk band to be obsessing on in the early 90s…but it perfectly exemplifies their status as a world class crossover artist. Studying other genres, drawing inspiration from the greats and using every available resource is something that you find in a large number of highly successful musicians.

Just another perfect example of Jerry Finn being the hero we needed but didn’t deserve.

the impact this album had in music history can not be put into words honestly. this album and Enema of the State.

Great video! However I do want to make one correction. When Green Day tracked Dookie, they played in the live room at the same time complete with a scratch vocal, kept the drums that were recorded off the floor (if you listen to the official isolated tracks, you can hear guitar and bass bleed), kept the live rhythm guitar, rerecorded bass, added some more guitar overdubs, and then rerecorded vocals. This is what Rob Cavallo confirmed, and the Sound on Sound article even says this as well.

Rob Cavallo in an interview with Billboard:

“Well, we’re gonna set you guys up and get a really great drum sound and a great bass sound and a great guitar sound, and we’re gonna have you play live. We want it to sound like you guys. Then once the drums are really cooking, then we might overdub the bass and the guitars over those drums, so that you guys can sound really tight to what you originally played. And then we’ll just put some vocals on it.”

And, yes, I was at that Berkeley Square show…

I remember Longview getting 24/7 constant play on MTV.

Best live band ive seen

I enjoyed this video alot but the green day nerd in me has to say that Blue is not an RST-50, it is an RST-80, you can differentiate them both from the exaggerated curve by the back of the headstock, and there are slight bevels on the front, there has been photos of the inside of Blue which have RST-80 markings from the factory.

Went back recently and listened to Dookie. It’s been several years and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it still and how well it’s aged. Coming clean is such a special song that really stood out to me.

I bought the Dookie CD as soon as it came out when I was 16, and still have it here today on top of my old ass stereo! I never would have guessed that the piece of plastic I was holding was gonna sell 20,000,000 copies!

fav series on the entire platform  <3<3<3<3

It's become less and less of a coincidence that so many of my favorite recorded drum sounds employed m49's as room mics.

Awesome album. I have to wonder how it would sound if it were recorded "live" by Steve Albini
