Lyrics printed inside the jacket aren't always 100% accurate either. I remember the lyric book for "Stunt" by Barenaked Ladies had full verses for "One Week" printed that didn't exist on the recording.

Sure, but they’ve had a few years to correct it in between my CD copy that aI purchased in 1994 and the 2009 vinyl reissue. Also, between the lyrics sheet and the internet I am gonna go with the lyrics sheet unless Billy Joe is out there specifically saying that the actual lyrics are different.Lyrics printed inside the jacket aren't always 100% accurate either.

I remember their mudfight with the crowd at Woodstock’94 being one of the highlights of that event.I would have given this a 4 or 5 back in the day. I recently gave it a go and found it exhausting to get through. Will try again today.
Seeing them live is fun. I saw them the year they opened lollapalooza in Raleigh. After the first or second song, Billy Joe was like “it sucks that the real music fans are out there in the sun. Y’all should come up here.” So the lawn at Walnut Creek rushed the stage. There were people hanging from the rafters.
Eventually, they cut Green Day’s sound. They played three more songs with no amplification and then security came and escorted them off the stage. Then the venue threatened to shut down the show if the lawn didn’t get back to their area.
That was the last year Lolla was at Walnut Creek.
Makes sense. As a 12 year old I learned about bands like Social D and Operation Ivy through the lens of Green Day so I feel like this probably gets a lot more mileage from me since Green Day was my introduction to Punk Rock music as a whole.I think Pulling Teeth is where I start to lose my patience. It’s Social Distortion with all the smarts drained out of it. I guess it’s cool they are paying homage but meh.

Yeah I looked up the Lollas I went to 93-95 (I edited above cause I was wrong about it being the last time - I used to do a lot of drugs… I don’t remember some of the bands beings at these):I saw Green Day at the KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, CA back in 94. It's crazy now looking back at the acts that were there. I went to two Weenie Roasts and two Acoustic Christmas concerts (94 and 95) and these were the the lineups for those shows.

@Yer Ol' Uncle D did you go to any of these, do they seem accurate to you?Yeah I looked up the Lollas I went to 93-95 (I edited above cause I was wrong about it being the last time - I used to do a lot of drugs… I don’t remember some of the bands beings at these):

No recollection of Rage or Dinosaur air being there.
‘94

Don’t recall Parliament, Breeders or Nick Cave being there

I would have sworn Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth were the same show. I don’t recall Beck, Hole, or the Bosstones being at this show. I believe Moby was at this show because I saw Mike Watt instead.
I ended up giving Dookie 4 stars. I must have been in some kind of mood the last time I listened to it.
Weird, the website didn't give me an opportunity to rate Grace. It went right from Steve Earle to Green Day. Would have rated 4/5.
In an interesting turn of events, I remember quite liking this back when it was released. I also don’t think I’ve listened to it since then.
