I might be able to post some of the LQ versions since the Picture Threads (and some of the other threads) have been opened up to guests.

(this is mostly for Billie)

Yeah he has said Uno kind of sounds like Dookie but only as a way of describing the differences between the three albums, and that was only once it was about to come out, Oh Love was out and we'd heard loads of songs from it. Which I think is very different from saying "we're going back to our roots and making an album like Dookie" months before it was out, which many people thought was said due to a shitty article where they'd twisted the band just saying they were at the stage of being "back to the basics" of going to the studio and recording demos etc to describe the fact that they were at the beginning of the album making process into that, with a load of other articles then running with it. People were expecting a back to their roots album that sounded like Dookie for months and months when the band hadn't even said anything about what it'd sound like based on that, and then got disappointed.

I think it was played at the Tiki Bar or something but if it was it's shit quality. Here's the lyrics, though.

Just listening to WMUWSE after a very long time and I almost forgot how this song is great.

I just used the word Trilogy as Billies backing vocals are present more often or just more noticeable to me anyway.

Mike doing more vocals. You dont hear him as much on trilogy songs like I could in past albums. You know what I mean so don't try and be difficult.

Billie doesn't do it all, Mike has plenty of backing vocals on the trilogy and Billie's done his own on past albums as well. This isn't the first time.

I think the trilogy would of been much much better if mike was doing the backing vocals instead of Billie doing it all. I don't mind the filters all that much, some songs are even better with it, but I like hearing some variety in the vocals with Mike coming in.

Self-conscious thing perhaps? I don't get it. He's good enough on his own, or at least a little more natural-sounding than that.

Well there goes the only cool thing about that video

Like Zack has said, the lack of vocal harmonies, bass lines, and guitar power really stands out, and Tre's drums are painfully tiny-sounding.

:wub:

Demolicious isn't overcompressed, the recording quality is just relatively low because they're demos. The original release of Breakdown is one of the most overcompressed albums I've ever heard, which is why the HDTracks version is so good. It was only on American Idiot onwards that they started cranking the mastering compression up. But some of their best songs ever are from American Idiot onwards, as you don't need me to tell you.

I totally get what you're saying, and I agree. I much prefer listening to their newer material than older, it's just more appealing to me these days. I haven't listened to an older GD album in quite while, actually. But that's just because of my ongoing love affair with the trilogy.

Because Mr. Armstrong doesn't give a fuck That close-up! *counts beard hairs*

Because. Anyway, the Fell For You demo is awesome and nothing matters beyond the snare sound

1) They are adorable :wub: 2) Tré was perfect with his speech

I listened to Whatsername on mu way home today, it came on shuffle on my iPod. The "forgetting you but not the time" part always makes my ballsack tingle.
