I think if you are referring to TUT that compared to Ivankkka  it seems a world different.

Punk and new wave vs Pop Punk with some little synth elements 

So much to catch up on this morning! Yes, I was talking about the voice rather than the whole sound, I get that with synths etc the overall sound can be completely different.  I have listened to Ivankkka and still think it sounds less like Billie than TUT and Are You Listening and I have been on the hill with @pacejunkie punk and @Beerjeezus but all the Shenanigans (see what I did there 😂) around it all are making me doubt myself, so while I am on the hill, I may now be facing downwards!

We know Billie said this year he didn’t want to sound like himself which I get, he’s been listening to himself sing for a longtime, he probably gets that many didn’t like his falsetto so he could be experimenting, or it could all be fake, well, bar Ivankkka!

These could be the unused FOAM songs.

I hope Billie comes to congratulate me in person!

Agreed, on both counts 😂

I could go with that, especially after listening so much to Insomniac!

Why are people giving these fakers the attention they want? I'm just waiting for The Network to release stuff on their channel.

Don't you guys notice a trend in the song titles? "The Ultimate Test", "Are You Listening", "Division and Fear". Whoever is behind these songs is fucking with you. I hear the same singer in all of them, but they sound nothing like Billie, though.

I do get the skepticism, I am also very confused especially looking at the last one, but saying that TUT sounds nothing like Billie it’s a huuuuge stretch, especially considering how this forum argued for months how Billie and Panicland’s singer voice are identical 😅
If this is a fake, the guy behind this did an astonishing job. 

[Boobooo]

So am I the only one who listens to Division and Fear and still hears Billie? I don't know why people can't get their head around the fact that he would purposefully distort his voice for The Network. Did you not listen to MM2020?? Lol. 

Also, someone faking Green Day is one thing, but faking not just one Network song, but at least three?! C'mon. Who has the time, energy or motivation to pull off three full tracks like that? Panicland faked MOOTIK for exposure and as a publicity stunt for themselves. What would be the reward of faking these tracks, nobody knows The Network other than core Green Day fans. 

All three of these tracks for me are so well formed and thought out that I just can't see it being a fake. So many stars would have to align if they were fake: lead singer would have to sound insanely close to Billie's voice, they would have to know when GD would start posting about the network again, they would all have to be very good professional musicians, they would have to have a decent recording set up.

I’m not really sure why the speculation, we know the Ivankaa song is the network, and the others are being released on the same channel, right? So why wouldn’t it be them? Granted I haven’t listened to them but still

They are not being released on the same channel, Ivankkka was released on The Networks youtube channel if the rest were there would be no debate.

[Boobooo]

Just listen to Transistors Gone Wild off Money Money 2020 and answer this: if that song had leaked at the time, would you be claiming it to be real or fake? I guarantee a lot of the people on here would be saying fake because of Billie's voice.

People aren't saying the songs are fake because of the voice. They're saying it because they're released on a random different youtube channel.

Any one of The Network's songs could be thought to be fake out of context. But when the context is that there's an official The Network youtube channel putting out real songs/videos, of course songs appearing on random other channels will be questioned. Why wouldn't they just release everything on the official channel?

[green day is]

Division and Fear doesn't sound like Billie at all. TUT sounds like him doing a voice but this just sounds like a different person. The inflection reminds me of Mike, especially the way he ends phrases, but I haven't heard his voice quite enough to pick out the unconscious peculiarities he retains in different situations the way we can with Billie. It could always be one of the touring members singing too.

 

My feeling right now is still that TUT was real, and now that the Network comeback is official the uploader is fucking with us.  

[DeJennsitized]

I hate that if this is fake they're catching us out with whole ass songs - at least Panicland fooled us with small snippets only

[nopride84]

 imagine dragon dees nuts across your faces when these turn out fake. this has become the worst thread on the forum.

While I think the song itself sucks I would have to hear a cleaned up version like we did with the other two to really be able to judge the sound of this one. 

And just to clarify in Panicland’s defense, I don’t believe they set out to do MOOTIK for publicity, they are a band that was created literally from fanfiction (Panicland itself was one of the fictional bands they created and in the end went with). They did the Green Day project as musical fan fiction for themselves and threw a bit out there to see if it was convincing and it took off so they went with it. I don’t think it was as malicious or self serving as people make it out to be. It was just creative fun like any other fanart.

But I agree faking entire songs like this for a handful of uberfans is a lot.

Because (and I still maintain) this is the next level game for us to play. If they put them on their official channel, would we be debating and going crazy over whether this is The Network/Green Day or not? Where’s the fun in that for fans who played this game already over the past years?

I still believe TUT is real. AYL convinced me with the cleaner pitched up version. This one needs the same treatment before judging but I do think the song itself is subpar.

[Tubbie Head]

People saying these sound nothing like Billie are just lying to themselves LMAO

[PluckyJokerhead]

The latest one sounds nothing like Billie

I'm just now noticing the Murder City lyric! 

I alway thought that song was a precursor for the title track of American Idiot but never caught that.
