Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
What Could Have Been: Cigarettes and Valentines, the follow-up to Warning that was supposed to be a return to Green Day's old sound. They recorded the entire album in 2003, but the master tapes were stolen before they could release it. Instead of rerecording everything, they decided to write an entirely new album, which became American Idiot.
They've been playing some of the songs from the album on the 21st Century Breakdown tour. The title track was featured on the live album Awesome As Fuck. It sounds like it would be right at home on Kerplunk or Dookie.
When Tim Armstrong was forming Rancid he asked Billie Joe to audition for the band. Billie Joe said no, as Green Day already had a few albums under their belt and were on the verge of becoming huge.
