They are different. As Mary said, 3/4 is like a waltz, if you are counting, it is 1-2-3/ 1-2-3/ 1-2-3. If you are counting 6/8, it would be more 1-2-3, 1-2-3/ 1-2-3, 1-2-3/ 3/4 Timing 6/8 Timing

And the bottom number tells you what gets one beat. 4 on the bottom is a quarter=1; 8 on the bottom is and eighth note (the one with the flag) =1. So Brutal Love in 6/8 is written with 6 eighth notes; which are divided into 2 sets of 3. This division, by the way, makes 6/8 an example of compound meter. You can count it in 6, or in a slow 2, form the 2 sets of 3. There is also Common Time, which is a letter "C" =4/4, and Cut time, which is 2/2.... Got me geeking out on meter!

Green Day: 15 not particularly interesting facts I did know

Yes this was already answered but they do have a different feel, 6/8 is more of a lilting feel, too. There is 12/8 too...think "Oh Darling" by the Beatles Yes, the half note get 2 beats when there is a 4 on the bottom of the time signature. In my example above, the 1,2,3,4,5,6 are eighth notes in two sets of three, and the 1, 2 counting would be shown as two dotted quarter notes.

Got it, thank you both.

Yes! 3/4 sounds like a walzer "hum da da" and a 6/8 has a different feel to it.

No not dumb! Counting like this: 1, 2, 1, 2 but to a slow beat, as opposed to counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to a faster beat. The two ways of counting compound meter 6/8 line up like this, if this is one measure: In 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 In 2: 1 2

This is probably a dumb question but what's slow 2?

Chest and dress yum:

They're using that quote only to refer to their next album, so by that I'd say that they're saying nothing new. But being who they are, if they featured Green Day right now it might mean something. They wouldn't give away more information so they used that old quote.

Wow, so nice! Damn!

That's interesting, I wonder if they are counting falsetto for his upper notes, or if he hits those in chest voice, or a mix. He sounds like he has had some voice lessons/coaching and he can control the placement of his notes. His breath support is fantastic. Also, I wouldn't classify him as a tenor; IMO he is a high Baritone. I have worked with a lot of singers, and Tenor vs. Baritone is more than just range, it is also a vocal tone quality.
