Talk:Nimrod (album)

Page move
This page should be moved to Nimrod (album) since a consensus was reached on Talk:Green Day that Nimrod was the correct name. A vandalism only editor moved the page here and every time I get the redirect page deleted so that I can move this page there, someone makes it back into a redirect. Tim meh  !  13:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I finally got it moved. If anyone disagrees, please see the discussion on the Green Day talk page. I think it's in the last archive. Tim  meh  !  15:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed the really bad copy-paste move - I didn't mean to have it go one way or the other, only to get it back to the most recent good version. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

WTF?
this article had a talk page.who deleted it?--Greenday21 (talk) 16:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Greenday21


 * You mean there were more discussions? They're not in the history. Tim  meh  !  20:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

i remember arguing with someone about the album name here. (Nimrod nimrod nimrod. Nimrod).--Greenday21 (talk) 21:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Greenday21

Cover?
Anyone know who the two "nimrods" on the cover are? Seems interesting.--Skaterkidd (talk) 2:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Skaterkidd

Green Day mentioned the names on Recovery TV, but I Forgot. They are members of some band (NOT Blink-182)--Greenday21 (talk) 13:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)Greenday21

The portraits covered on the cover are Dwight Eisenhower and Harry S Truman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chevron24 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there any source for them being Dwight Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman? Just wondering, because Green Day said themselves that they were members of some band, and obviously Eisenhower and Truman aren't members of any band. So I was just wondering. --Blaguymonkey (talk) 12:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

LAST ride in
what is the point of this song? why does it have a music video if it is not a single?

This isn't a forum were you ask things about the band and talk about them.--188.27.126.97 (talk) 08:04, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Actually it kinda is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.11.174.161 (talk) 07:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

No it actually isn't that would be for somewhere like reddit. St. Jimmy (talk) 22:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Name
what is the official name of the album anyway? On the cover it Says nimrod. but i dont think either the period or the fact that it is in lowercase should matter--Greenday21 (talk) 22:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Greenday21
 * That's right. Names are correctly capitalised and stylistic preferences such as full stops and colons (as in Warning) are not necessary in an encyclopedia. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

But Kerplunk! is the true name of the album (Import the CD to iTunes). --Greenday21 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Greenday21

Australian bonus tracks
Can someone create a section for the 4 bonus tracks on the Australian release? http://www.discogs.com/release/616560 —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShadowCrew (talk • contribs) 05:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC) --ShadowCrew (talk) 05:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

wtf?
When you click on last ride in, it simply redirects back to the album. This should be fixed, either the link should be removed or a page should be created for that song. --Tsp greenday (talk) 05:30, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Ska Punk
I think Ska-Punk should be removed. The album has only one ska-punk song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revilal90 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Genres
I removed Hardcore Punk, Ska (and added Ska Punk instead) and Surf Rock..the album has just one song of each, so you can´t really add them as genres.--Ogica1234 (talk) 19:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Title
Why is the article titled Nimrod (Green Day album) but the talk page is just titled Nimrod (album)? Shouldn't they both be titled the same thing? --BLAguyMONKEY! (talk) 09:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * You're right, they should. Someone must have moved the article at some point without moving the talk page to match. I'll see if I can fix it. --IllaZilla (talk) 15:46, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * by moving the article to Nimrod (album). Since there are no other Wikipedia articles at present about albums titled "Nimrod", this was the best option. --IllaZilla (talk) 15:49, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

BLOWING SALES
the sales are blowing !

it has not sold 10 million copies

it was shipped 2xPLATINUM   2,000,000 COPIES in the US and    in the UK   300,000   PLATINUM

we talk here about shipments not sold copies

it s impossible that this album has sold despite the 2 million copies 8 million copies worldwide  it impossible

in some important markets like GERMANY and france it was a flop and sold not even 100,000 total

where come those 10 million copies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.15.236.207 (talk) 13:12, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Prosthetic Head
wasnt Prosthetic Head a promo single? St. Jimmy (talk) 18:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Anniversary Tracklist
The band has revealed the track list for the bonus discs, but every time that I put the tracklist on the page someone just reverts it to the one released song as of now? The full list has been revealed for both the live album AND the demo album. Other albums get the full list put on their page the second the tracks are confirmed. Jirachibi (talk) 04:46, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Per WP:ALTTRACKLIST and for convenience's sake only new tracks should be inserted; do not add previously released tracks, live versions, etc. QuestFour (talk) 09:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @QuestFour WP:ALTTRACKLIST says to "Include track listings for alternative editions only when they are significantly different." Many of the listed demos are previously unreleased, and unmentioned in this wikipedia article, but have been mentioned in numerous credible articles. The listed track number is also incorrect here, as "You Irritate Me" is listed as demo track #8, while all other demos are listed on the source. Based on your provided article, the previously unreleased demos at the least should be included here. PopDisaster182 (talk) 16:59, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * According to the sources the only other previously unreleased songs are "Tre Polka" and a cover of Elvis Costello's "Allison", but those have not been released yet; until they're released, either as standalones or with the album, and their length's been revealed, there's no reason to include them at this time. QuestFour (talk) 01:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is incorrect. While the source directly lists the songs you mentioned, there are no records of the following songs being released on any of the band's past releases either:
 * Place Inside My Head
 * Alison
 * You Irritate Me
 * Tre Polka
 * Chain Saw
 * Black Eyeliner
 * PopDisaster182 (talk) 18:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

In the Background part, it says, “Speaking of Insomniac,”.
I believe this to be unlike Wikipedia, and the following quote seems irrelevant. Dolphinian6 (talk) 03:16, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
