Yosuke Hanamura Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The official Live 8 YouTube channel posted the Pro-Shot footage, so it’d be kind of redundant. (No pun intended) The reason that the audio seems to be uploaded is because the album release recently got a digital release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a little resume now I’m sad that both Corden and this soap opera news site only mentioned the Broadway musical as his acting credit. Ordinary World was a huge central role even as an independent film. They could’ve mentioned it considering it’s on Netflix now. And that’s not to mention the several other smaller things he’s done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did incredibly well in Ordinary World considering he's not a professional actor. Watching it you always feel so sorry for his character and feel with him and that's just something that mostly only natural talent can provide.

GreenDayItaly Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Butch Walker Shares His 8 Favorite Rock Opera Singles. Green Day, “American Idiot” Quote OK, I know I produced their latest album and I’m a fan. But you can’t deny that when this came out, it was ballsy and amazing. Energetic as a pissed off rhino, and very much needed for the time. These guys are my favorites because they don’t give a fuck what you think about them. http://floodmagazine.com/77581/butch-walker-shares-his-8-favorite-rock-opera-singles/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Joan Jett: The Godmother of Pop-Punk One of the highlights on Green Day’s recent career-reviving album, Father of All Motherfuckers, is the song “Oh Yeah!” which takes its title, its earworm chorus and its sizzling guitar riff from the 1980 track “Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah)” by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong wrote new verses to vent his disdain for social-media narcissism, but the chorus’s shotgun marriage of melodic hook and slam-bang beat remains irresistible. If they wanted to climb out of their 21st-century slump of straining-for-meaning concept albums, Green Day couldn’t have adopted a better role model than Jett. She understood better than anyone that if you’re going to strip rock ’n’ roll down to its 4/4 basics, you’d better add a catchy sweetener. Otherwise you’re going to sound merely mechanical, even if you get as loud as Jett’s hard-rock peers in the ’80s or as fast as Green Day’s punk peers in the ’90s. Fortunately, both Armstrong and Jett have a rare gift for inventing—or borrowing—four-bar phrases that are familiar enough to feel comfortable, new enough to feel memorable and rhythmic enough to be heard in the hips as well as the ears. This is a different gift than that of, say, Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift, who can spin out a melody that stays interesting over 32 bars. This is distilling all the tuneful pleasure in a song into a few lines that can be pounded home without ever losing their appeal. This was a talent that Green Day demonstrated on their brilliant first three albums for Reprise (1994’s Dookie, 1995’s Insomniac and 1997’s Nimrod). It’s a skill they foolishly laid aside for their overblown and overrated rock opera American Idiot and its hapless sequel, 21st Century Breakdown. It’s a knack they’ve recovered on The Father of All Motherfuckers. For the new record, the trio of Armstrong, drummer Tre Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt (together since 1991) slow the tempos a bit to put them more in Jett’s ballpark and thus reveal her influence as never before. Most of the record bolsters a Blackhearts’ stomp with high-pitched vocals, handclaps and sparkles of electronica enhancing the hooks. Former glam-rocker Butch Walker was the co-producer, and he nudged the sound in Jett’s direction. Armstrong’s lyrics are still those of a mallrat cynic (“I am a kid of a bad education,” he sings on “Oh Yeah!” “The shooting star of a lowered expectation”), but the verbal pessimism is countered by the musical optimism of the choruses. On the title track and first single, for example, he invites a would-be lover to join him “in a bed of blood and money.” The words are purposefully off-putting, but the rave-up music is powerfully seductive. The second single, “Ready, Aim, Fire,” begins with the line, “Kick the dog when the whistle blows,” but the chorus is so galvanizing that the National Hockey League adopted it for a national broadcast. Much of the album is compellingly danceable, even if Armstrong describes himself as “crawling across the dance floor; I think I lost my phone.” That comes from “Meet Me on the Roof,” a song so giddily happy sounding that it justifies to its similarity to “Up on the Roof,” the song that Carole King and Gerry Goffin wrote for the Drifters. “Stab You in the Heart” borrows its intro from the Beatles’ “A Hard Day’s Night” and its bass line from the Beatles’ “Dizzy Miss Lizzy.” The handclaps from Jett’s “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” are all over Green Day’s “Graffitia.” So much for punk purity. Green Day is not the only California band channeling Jett in 2020. On the duo’s new album, Always Tomorrow, Best Coast sounds more like Jett than ever. https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/joan-jett/joan-jett-godmother-of-power-pop/ NME Recommends: need for speed – the best albums under 30 minutes ‘Father Of All…’ At 10 tracks and little over 25 minutes long, there’s no time for any existential angst on Green Day‘s latest effort. “Hurry up ’cause I’m making a fuss,” spits Billie Joe Armstrong on the record’s titular opener, “fingers up ’cause there’s no one to trust”. That’s the record’s M.O. It’s a quick-fire, breakneck rush of garage rock fun. Their intent is laid bare when comparing two of the band’s record sleeves: ‘American Idiot’ was a heart like a hand grenade, ‘Father Of All’ is a unicorn puking a rainbow. Don’t try to make sense of it, just enjoy. https://www.nme.com/features/nme-recommends-best-albums-under-30-minutes-2653221 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a really weird review, they are saying that Dookie, insomniac and Nimrod were great but that AI and 21CBD were overblown and not so good, they dont mention The Trilogy or Revrad at all but think FOAM is better so yes, they think their career was on a downward spiral is how I read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
