green day is Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 King for a Day. Are the lyrics "everything nice wasn't made for only girls" or "everything nice wasn't meant for only girls?" I hear "meant", and it makes more sense. But every lyric site says 'made'. Nimrod booklet says made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Going by the booklet and my ears it's "made". "Meant" makes slightly more sense, but the line comes from the nursery rhyme "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of", that'll be why it's made in Billie's version of it. He changed it so that it's saying sugar and spice are made for girls, instead of girls being made of them, and in the process kept the word made.

Soli Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does anyone know how Billie plays the intro to One for the Razorbacks here? He does some kind of tapping but I can't really figure it out. http://youtu.be/yW_d_45vyy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 No he doesn't? Pretty clear that he's trying to find out what he was doing, do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Pretty clear that he's trying to find out what he was doing, do you know? Yeah, it's exactly the same as the studio version, just arpeggios of the verse riff. He's just not tapping, which would have been the only difference if he were.

I think it's just that his hand movement looks strange/tapping like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks! I think it's just that his hand movement looks strange/tapping like. Plucking on different parts of the string gives you a different sound, that's why he moves his hand over the fret-board to play. Going from the bridge to the divider between the twelfth and thirteenth fret (the halfway point) the high frequencies pop out more and then it starts to reverse you get towards the nut. Physics and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does anyone know Green Day songs that are in swing time? EJN, Knowledge, and DRB are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'd have to listen through their whole discography to find more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 When Billie plays Good Riddance live acoustically, does he just use straight chords (aside from the solo), or does he use individual notes. For instance, what is he doing at the beginning here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Depends on the performance. In the one you linked he's using chords, but he's moving around them. Like he isn't strumming all six strings for G, just some. If you want that effect just "try" to play the individual notes but don't be precise about it and hit the surrounding strings as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykee Mexx Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A few minutes ago I saw a report about a German band that has a sign language interpreter on stage, so that deaf people don´t just feel the bass sound, but can also follow the lyrics. In this report they mentioned Green Day as a band that also sometimes has a sign language interpreter on stage. I´ve never seen this. The only "proof" they could show was Billie Joe kissing a fan... Does anybody know whether Green Day has sometimes or ever had a translater for deaf people on stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they had a sign language interpreter on stage during one of the shows of (I believe) the North American leg of the 21st CB tour in 2010. I think it was probably something the venue does, as far as I know they've only done it that one time. I remember seeing a video of it as well as people who were at the show posting about it. Does anyone know which show it was? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 how long does it take the gda shipping? i bought the wristbands last week International orders usually take around 15 days. Sometimes it can take a little longer if items are held at US Customs for any reason, but about 15 days is the average. Feel free to email us (orders@greendayauthority.com) if you need us to look in to your order or anything like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
