green day is Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 What other Green Day songs are in the same key as Brain Stew? Off the top of my head there's Paper Lanterns, Dry Ice, Private Ale, Having A Blast, Sassafras Roots, In The End, FOD, Jaded, Tight Wad Hill, Walking Contradiction, American Idiot, Oh Love and Brutal Love. It's probably important to note that Brain Stew's guitar/bass isn't diatonic, though. If you're trying to make a mashup or something using it it won't necessarily work, the vocals are what let us call it G# minor rather than some obscure scale (blues octatonic minor?) involving G#, C, C#, D#, E, F, and F#. Without the vocals those are all that's there, with them we get an idea of the important notes which allows us to analyze the F and C as accidentals. The vocals of Brain Stew have a G# coinciding with the F power chord, which is consonant, but in other songs it could just as easily end up a B, which would form a tritone and minor second. __________________________________________________________ Before Rockband ever came out there were a few acapellas and instrumentals floating around, notably I remember having them for Brain Stew. Does anyone know where these came from? I'm pretty sure they weren't done artificially but I was younger then and can't find them now because Rockband so maybe they were. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjafan129 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I know Billie uses Ernie Ball strings for his electrics, but what does he use for his acoustic? Mainly for the 21st Century Breakdown tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would've guessed that was particularly fast. I suppose it's because the singing isn't even though the music is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spike Posted July 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2015 Whats the fastest Green Day song jaded ? Interesting! Never would've guessed that was particularly fast. I suppose it's because the singing isn't even though the music is. It's probably a more complicated question to answer than it should be, so this post is probably gonna be really boring, but here goes. It all depends on how you choose to hear it, in a way. Academically Private Ale is nowhere near their fastest song, as that link Jon shared states, because while the music is at 196bpm the vocals are in half-time, so it can feel like 98bpm. The fastest song on Kerplunk by these standards is Strangeland at 214bpm. It's difficult to judge though because a lot of their songs actually have a double-time feel, based on the amount Tre uses the snare, and the more snare there is going on the more momentum a song has. There's an important distinction between tempo and momentum; if you took any given song and took the snare out, but left everything else exactly the same, it would feel slower. Plus Billie tends to throw in a lot of insanely fast strumming fills, where he'll hit the next chord slightly ahead of the beat and strum it a couple of times in double-time (so if the song is already in double-time then it's effectively quadruple-time for that split second). So to take Strangeland as an example, 214bpm is ridiculously fast and if you were playing to a metronome you'd have it set to half that, but if you were to write the sheet music out at 107bpm rather than 214bpm it would be super messy and difficult to read. I hate applying academia to punk, but I think it's interesting in this case. To throw a spanner in the works, Jaded is 160bpm but with a double-time feel, making it effectively 320bpm. I haven't gone through the rest of the albums but I can go into more boring minutiae about any specific song if anyone cares. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Not boring at all! So do you think it's possible to judge what their fastest song would be? Or are there too many different factors at play? I think the simplest way to do it is to just count the speed of the beats (which I can't really be bothered doing for every song right now ). I just did it for Platypus and Welcome To Paradise actually, just out of interest, and Welcome To Paradise actually has a higher bpm. In terms of what they simply sound like though, it's gotta be Platypus, Jaded or Best Thing In Town, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
