Sure, some of these were written earlier, but nothing indicates to me that they're NOT from the AI session! John was there. If he says they're from the AI session, and the CD cover says that as well, why not trust it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see is “Green Day B Sides” plus we know for a fact some of those songs had different engineers and such from credits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date had me under the impression, but I suppose any of the songs could've been recorded in 2002/2003 and then just mastered later. Shoplifter, Governator, and Too Much Too Soon were engineered by Chris Dugan with help from Reto, Lights Out was Chris Dugan, and Favorite Son was Doug McKean. But all three of them are listed as engineers on the album, so does that have significance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out was self produced by GD and engineered by Dugan Dugan wasn’t the engineer for AI he was only an assistant on that album I dunno I’m probably just overthinking this 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 So John said these songs are from the demo sessions, right? Was he there for the demos or just the recording in LA? A lot of these bsides were songs rumoured to be on c&v, and this may be kind of a stretch, but if a lot of those songs were reworked into the network album then what if "end of the world" is the original version of "roshambo"?

GDT Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Just wanted to point out, Lights Out was the same length of the released one in 21CBD (2:17) So it was the same song and maybe the one that was used for the 21CBD b-side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t be paying to get a song mastered if they already released the “final” version of it. I highly doubt any of these songs are Network.

solongfromthestars Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I always thought it was a bit unlikely the Foxboro Hot Tubs randomly happened in just a few days like they said... I remember Tré eloquently putting it "that one just dropped right out of our bums" on Radio One. Interesting some of it dates back this far, though.

I've just thought, after the original 6 song FBHT EP came out the next thing they did was put out The Pedestrian and then Broadway as extra songs on their Myspace, a few weeks/months later. And then the full album. So maybe the story is more referring to the original 6 song EP. It's interesting that it's those two songs that seem to have been from much earlier, they must've decided hey these could be FBHT songs. And it's funny to me because I always said The Pedestrian is the least FBHT sounding of FBHT songs and just sounds like Green Day 5 hours ago, Matt. said: What are the references?

Otis Big Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 We're going to have to wait until after someone dies or the band breaks up before we get to hear any of this cool shit. I'd love AI or 21 CB demos. Hell, I'd love any demo they have. Warner will milk this band for all their worth long after they're done creating new music, and we're all gonna be geezers rockin' out to it.

For example it doesn’t have Youngblood, which Billie confirms was from the C and V sessions. Unless it changed in fact the song "too young" has the same duration as the "youngblood"...

On 3/9/2019 at 2:50 PM, Todd said: Youngblood was partially written on the 21st Century Breakdown tour and finished during the RevRad sessions as I recall reading in a magazine around RevRad's release. It often gets confused that it's a C&V song because it was brought up as an example of a recycled old song right after Billie and Mike talked about C&V.

Christian's Inferno! Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm pretty sure it was never stated when Youngblood was first written, just that it was a song written a while ago. Idk where people are getting "it was written during 21CB era" from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I thought Youngblood was considered a recycled song from C&V because it's similar to She's A Rebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
