-> Goes to change channel from MTV Classic to ABC since GMA starts in a few minutes (even though they won't be on for ~90 minutes) -> MTV Classic begins playing American Idiot

I've been revisiting 21CBD I listened to it a lot when it came out but I never really liked it so largely dismissed it as their worst album and a poor man's American Idiot Well now I can listen to it without the unrealistic high expectations that AI left and.. I love it! There are still a few duds.. but love the production and there are a few bangers Well done GD.. even if I am nearly 10 years late (lol)

This might just be the nicest picture I've ever seen of the two of them, I love it

Well it's the stolen thing that gets me cause Mike mentioned once that they had DAT backups of unmixed versions of the songs that tells me they recorded on tape cause if they were doing straight up pro tools they'd have made back up on cd-r's they claim the masters were stolen so if they recorded on tape at the least each song would have taken up 2 reels at the least so that'd be 40 reels (as it's been said that they had 20 songs recorded) that'd been stolen I don't see a studio letting anyone just walking out with reels without being stopped for those who may not know what reels look like here's what one looks like imagine 39 more of those and you see how hard it'd be to go unnoticed I go with the theory that they just don't want to say publicly the songs weren't good saying the masters were stolen sounds better than saying the songs sucked as the stolen story would place the blame on the studio and not on them

Green Day Have A “Machiavellian Catalogue Of Shit” We’ve Never Heard That Will “All Come Out” One Day “Yeah, we kind of have a Machiavellian catalogue of shit lying around,” laughs bassist Mike Dirnt. “We have SO much stuff, and some of it has morphed into other songs… you know, a song that took 10, 20 years to evolve but started off as a jam or started off as us singing a different lyric to it or whatever. I mean, there’s little opuses in other songs and things like that we’ve done that people have never heard. “What’s cool is that a lot of it’s recorded really well, too,” Dirnt reveals to Music Feeds. “So a lot of that stuff – there’s cassette tape, demo tape stuff – but there’s also stuff that was recorded very well that sounds like it could be on a record, you know? We just didn’t put it out. Which is really nice the way recording is nowadays, it’s so cheap to record things that sound great, not like those crappy cassette tapes. But we do have a lot of those as well [laughs] it’s really neat.“I don’t know when they’ll see the light of day, but me and [frontman] Billie always said ‘at some point everything comes out in the wash’. So, you know, at some point it’ll all come out.”“We’re not in any hurry to do that because this band has never really been in the business of looking backwards,” he chuckles. “Maybe some day when we’re older, then we’ll look back. At this point, I have stopped and smelled the roses finally, I think. And it’s nice to look back and go ‘Wow, we really have accomplished a lot of stuff!’ But I don’t think we’ll be exhuming any old demo tapes at this point right now [laughs].” http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/green-day-machiavellian-catalogue-shit-weve-never-heard-will-come-one-day/
