"Brain Stew / Jaded" is the third single from Green Day's 1995 album Insomniac. It was released in 1996. On MTV and radio airplay the song is merged into the next track, "Jaded", and the combination of the two became an alternative-rock radio staple. Brain Stew was likely too abrasive for mainstream audiences, and Jaded too short and insubstantial. Like on the album, Insomniac, the two cancelled eachother out when placed together, allowing the songs to be marketable as a single. Image File history File links Greenday_brainstew. ...
