Libertine Angel Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yeah, vinyl being popular makes sense because the sound quality actually is better but tapes are shit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I lived through tapes already in the 80's and they sucked then, and they suck now. They don't last, they don't sound good, and the machines chewed them up. Now vinyl on the other hand is superior. I bought American Idiot on vinyl in December and it sounds glorious! It is like hearing it new again.

Chin for a Day Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Insomniac is #80 and Dookie #5 on Loudwires best Hard Rock/Metal albums of the 1990's. I'm not sure how they classify as Hard Rock or Metal, but I guess they are more than Kid Rock, who is also on the list. But, it's always nice to see our boys get some recognition. http://loudwire.com/top-hard-rock-metal-albums-1990s/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsletter_4511503#photogallery-1=91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly geese. In fact, this even urged Billie to check Buzzcocks out. Or that "faux British accent" thing - just ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 19 artists who have been suspiciously quiet recently Green Day - The band made a few appearances in 2015, including their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, with no new album for almost 4 years, we're hoping that their 2015 Christmas song was a sign of new things to come. http://www.gigwise.com/photos/104936/19-artists-who-have-been-suspiciously-quiet-recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like hearing it new again. Yes tapes SUCK. I collect tapes, but I never pay more than a dollar for them. If anything they're just a novelty for me. So I really don't understand why the hell they're making a huge comeback. They're not convenient or even have great audio quality. So I totally agree with you they suck unless you just want it for a collection. I don't even plan to pull out a walkman and carry around a bunch of tapes to listen to. I just don't friggin get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They missed Rotting as an example of his lowest notes but it's cool to see the songs listed like that. And since Green Day is by far the easiest musical act to sing along to that I know, just with the very lowest notes being slightly difficult, I'm concluding from this that I'm a contralto On 3/18/2016 at 8:04 PM, JardyOfSuburbia said: So, my mom called to tell me that Billie Joe Armstrong got a mention on General Hospital...here's the video she shot on her phone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzRREb5QN8g&feature=youtu.be Awesome!
