I agree 100% Vocal effects are definitely necessary to make a beautiful sounding recording. I agree Warning, AI and 21st CB has Billie's best sounding vocals, and they are very professional sounding with the right amount of effects: compression, etc. That is why they sound so crisp, and clear in the mix and professional sounding. Without the (tasefully done) effects you lose that quality. Weird, there's some guy that does that on Instagram. Random thought: I love the piano on "Restless Heart Syndrome". That song is so heartbreaking and beautiful and the piano is perfect. There had better be at least one piano song on the the GD album!!!

I know... it's a weirdly popular hobby. I personally met 2 people who did that on daily basis. I couldn't agree more. It's one of my favorite songs. It always puts a lump into my throat. The piano sounds pretty as well.

I love how Green Day is capable of moving me into tears at random times. PS: Watching Broadway Idiot, for inspiration.

Dear God some of these tweets make me wish for an end to human civilisation.

There's no other such uncomfortable thing as seeing fans dress like or pose in photos like Billie. No offence, I have no problem with cosplays or doing that for fun but i know someone who has done that every day in at least last 6 years and it's just scary.

The trilogy wasn't bad, it was just so far from how good it could and should have been, and that was really disappointing. I'm terrified of being as disappointed as I was 3 years ago.

I don't know but it looks like Trilogy era, pre-rehab; he was really thin and unhealthy looking. He looks a million time healthier now.

Then that would be during the filming of Basket Case which took place in April, but still sometime after April 8th.

Cobain died on the 5th but body wasn't found until April 8th it was announced around 11am on mtv

That's nonsense. Longview music video was filmed on January 8th and 9th, 1994. Cobain died on April 7th, 1994. Although I do remember Billie saying that he learned about his death when Green Day were driving home from the last show of their first tour in support of Dookie (and that would have happened on April 6th/7th, 1994, seems legit).

This is so weird so you see someone famous and you need to tweet about it? Allright, but some of this just screams "i'm an asshole!"

well that's a memory of 7 years that I have to flush. Thanks for the clarification everyone.

26 Years Ago: Green Day Debut With the Raucous and Raw Pop-Punk Precursor ’39/Smooth’ http://diffuser.fm/green-day-39-smooth-anniversary/

One unpopular opinion I've come up with is that vocal filters/effects unit are not always that annoying. I guess GD have been using them since Warning and vocals on that sounded good and AI had some of the best vocals ever. Jesus Of Suburbia's vocals are completely awesome and my favorite. It's so cool that whenever I listen to it (specially the opening first part which also have some great power chords) I feel like putting a cape on my back and then fly out like Superman.

I just realized that Wake me up when September ends has 3 storylines behind it. 1. Whatsername leaving Jimmy 2. The music video storyline 3. Billie and his dad.

Lol at Tres autograph on the drum head

Umm...

Well that's a weird list. Joy Division but no SLF?
