WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE BILLIE IS DEATH SCREAMING IN 'TAKE BACK'????

[BRAIN_STEW1039]

I was listening to Nimrod on shuffle and came across 'take back'. When he says 'take back' it sounds so metal-y I thought it was fucking Judas Priest 😭 and the next song that comes on (uptight) is mellow and soft so I was so confused 😭😭 the way the guitar sounds, the drums, the singing, everything. it could definitely pass as a metal song to someone who doesn't listen. PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS THIS.

I wouldn't say metal, just heavier punk. And it is more on the growling side, maybe not full-on metal screaming. I've heard way heavier stuff than "Take Back" lol. That's just how they did the song. It's kind of a pointless topic...

new Green Day fan? no shame if you are  not at all.

I mean, Brendon Urie used to do Slayer screams in his concerts...

Sometimes a little heavier sound is just fun

Nimrod is full of experiments (just look at the songs following it, a ska influenced song with horns about cross dressing and an acoustic string laden ballad), this is just another song where they tried something different on there. Extra angry and aggressive song with some screaming/growling.

Check it out live, Billie does the growls well

Also reminded me of how insane Platypus is live, he really gets into it! Even pushed the camera man. The two angriest Green Day songs

@GreenDayJunkie86 it depends on how you look at it but I don't think I'm considered a 'new' fan. I've been a fan for about a year and a half, so no, I'm not a new green day fan.
