I know that quote is over a year old, but it says that green day are new to SESAC and I don't think they'd say that the band is currently working on their 12th album if something isn't going to be happening soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a short form, they monitor an artists songs for royalty purposes. So basically if someone uses a GD song and doesn't pay for the right, this organization is responsible for finding that and charging them for royalties. Considering what they do, I would think they would be aware of release dates of new music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did but they are featured on their magazine this month. In the article they stated how they are working on their 12th studio album. I would think SESAC would be in the know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 12 of the best major label debut albums Green Day – Dookie Raise your hand if you owned Dookie, on cassette or CD, in 1995. The fact that most likely every single person reading this who came of age in that era is raising their hand right now (you can put it down by the way, you look silly) is a testament to how successful Green Day’s major label debut was. Dookie made Green Day into huge international stars, and proved punk rock could be a viable driving force in mainstream rock radio. It remains the band’s highest selling album, having moved an astounding 20 million copies. http://www.aux.tv/2016/03/12-of-the-best-major-label-debut-albums/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day's record set the stage for the pop-punk wave in the 2000s, but nothing could top the joy of this album that still comes through all these years later. Roll down your windows, crank up "Basket Case" and enjoy the sounds of punk in suburbia. http://www.inforum.com/variety/3984411-5-spot-live-singers-fargo-concert-other-mid-1990s-rock-albums-worth-revisiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

OK good, what does that mean? Whatever time signature a GD song is in has no relevance to a cover. That is the beauty of music, you can do whatever you want with it. FYI, Brutal Love is 6/8 and the beginning of Before the Lobotomy is 7/8, but yes most GD songs, most songs in general are in 4/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you will again go on saying "does that really matter?" or "whatever may be the style but music is still god" so anyway I found his cover good but it could have been sounded a bit more natural.

I hope you're understanding. A time signature is simply how to count the song. So 4/4 would indicate 4 beats per measure. So for 4/4 ypu would count 1,2,3 4. For 3/4 you would count 1.2.3, etc. I don't think that is what you meant. I personally think he did a very nice job, much better than I could have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenXIdiot Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
