so many of the demolicious recording are just so much better, when I listen back to the studio versions, it really makes me ask why they changed it? Its just so much more Green Day. It sounds...beautiful haha?

That would take away the impact of when he does go up the last time he sings it. I think he's taking the piss! Putting on a snotty voice in imitation of how people (sometimes including himself) whinge about the old scene being gone. He makes legitimate complaints about the loss of it in the song but I like to think he's also acknowledging that hanging on to it and resisting change too much can be a negative/lame thing.

I'd rather this thread have died than read this.

So would it unpopular to say that Kerplunk! and Nimrod are far superior to Dookie, or would that get me in trouble with this most upstanding community?

Mike throws a load of extra fills in and it sounds awesome.

We've closed the old Random Green Day News thread and here's a shiny new one. This time, please only use this thread to post the most teeny tiny, insignificant, truly "random" news, stuff that wouldn't get more than a couple of posts in response. Unless it fits that description, always make a thread for it! There's always room for new threads and we'd like to see lots of them being made so that more people hear about new articles, interviews, cool things etc and there's more space to discuss them. To recap, if in doubt don't post here, make a thread. Thank you Also please note: When posting an article don't just post a link with no description of what it is. Make sure to always include a few words to describe what the article is about and why Green Day is mentioned in it. Last but not least credit to @crock6000 for inventing and creating the original Random Green Day News thread

From the soundcheck of this performance, I think

Ah, right. "Suffocate" was on 'Good Riddance', too. Kinda misleading, yeah. But that's why we're here to help you get your facts straight^^

"Suffocate", "Scumbag" and "Outsider" were released on the 'Warning' singles. "Scumbag" was also on the 'American Pie 2' soundtrack. All released the year before 'Shenanigans'. So only "Ha Ha You're Dead" was completely new. EDIT: "Suffocate" was also on the 'Good Riddance' single and on the Australian release of 'Nimrod' from 1998.

the fact that the majority of us agree on this topic has sky rocketed my faith in the green day community

That's not a thing, though.

The drumming is so much more interesting on the Rusty James demo too. I like how Tré goes onto the ride cymbal on the chorus like he does in the old songs.

Well, for starters, it's an entirely different recording than the one on Uno....

(that bass)

Don't piss off a woman Tom it won't end up nice for you You can't win against a woman

That joke never gets old, does it? And a pile of shit is generally better than the trilogy, so sorry if I was a bit slow in comprehending your implications.

I had to go back and listen to it again... and I still don't know what's wrong with it! I like the contrast between the calm "where the hell is the old gang at" line in the first verse and the shouting tone of that line in the second verse. That being said, it does come off as him trying to be a bit of a hard ass and failing. I'm sure if you took the music out and it was acappella, it'd be laughable. I never realized Demolicious kept them both calm though. Interesting. I wonder why they changed it?

I've always hated the delivery on the last line of the second verse in Rusty James. Like what the fuck are you doing Billie?

I always forget that song exists and find it incredibly hard to recall how it goes.

CASTAWAY IS NOT AVERAGE YOU TAKE THAT BACK

We've got to take Billie, Mike and Tre hostage and force them to record a live-in-the-studio album.

When any unpopular opinions haven't been posted for nearly a week, you know GDC is dying.

Frankly I just find it incredibly boring.

Sex drugs and violence, 99 revolutions, angel blue, missing you and baby eyes are far better on Demolicious in my honest opinion

Fuck you guys. Demolicious > basically all the trilogy.

Hahahahahahaha omg x'DD

It's a mock celeb news site, guys. There is also an article on his dog getting surgery

Its always good to hear somethings going on tho

It might just be the remixing/reworking of the trilogy, but that sounds good either way

New album news for 2014? http://en.mediamass.net/people/green-day/new-album.html According to a source, rumors of Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong, ed) working in recording studio are true, with as many as eight songs having been put to tape. “It’s still in the early stages,” “They got security on the doors to ensure no-one hears a whisper,” a source said.

Brian May retweeted the video of Bohemian Rhapsody at the Emirates this one

I'm quite sure Billie farted at some point, within the last 2 hours. I felt in my soul. If that ain't news, I don't know what is. Also, I've been seeing posters all over Oslo, Billie's face is everywhere. I'll try to steal one and upload a decent picture later.

ok
