Ah, good point. But then that means that whoever made this is not only really convincing, they've done a lot of research. And they're insanely dedicated to tricking us. 

Seems like too much effort for a group of tricksters. 

Dude, it's Panicland.

Billie has in the past mixed his demos such that his vocals are barely audible or otherwise incomprehensible - there was an interview where he said he did all of the demos for a certain album (I think it was 21st Century Breakdown) this way so as not to immediately reveal the lyrics to Mike and Tré. Knowing this fact can make it difficult to accurately judge whether a "leak" or demo may be authentic or not.

For what it's worth, had I listened to Ivankkka Is A Nazi without having seen the accompanying video, I probably wouldn't have said it was Billie Fink singing. Just some food for thought.

This doesn’t sound like someone trying to hide lyrics, you can make them out.

But that's the thing, the lead singer of Panicland has an infallible pattern that I would recognize. His impression is spot on, then it's shit in the chorus. The vocals here are consistent. (And it seems like he can only do the nasally Billie that was prominent in the trilogy era, but he can't even do that very well).

No lie, Panicland didn't get me. 

But if this is Panicland, they're playing it safe with the chorus. That would mean they learned from their mistakes. With MOOTIK the choruses were undoubtedly pop. These choruses are more in-line with Green Day's The Network's (new?) sound.

No way in hell this is Panicland. Maybe these are songs that got cut from the upcoming album or something.

I wonder how long they'll keep this one up on their channel.

Probably not long if the majority continues to say it's fake. They must monitor this thread.

To whoever made these tracks: fuck you. You're not only pathetically piggybacking off another band's success and fanbase but you're also incredibly unoriginal, just doing exactly what Panicland did only with less thought put into it. The Ultimate Test is a decently good song so stop fucking around messing with people on the internet and start actually making use of your talent. Release the song and call yourself Dr. Fuckhead or something. I'll add it to my playlist as soon as you do.

If somehow these songs are real I'll eat my iDos! (it doesn't deserve nimrod)

That "Ultimate Test" song sounds extremely legitimate. I'd be shocked if it isn't real. 1. The production sounds expensive and isn't just something that sounds like it could be big budget when when we eventually hear a clearer recording. It's right up front and not disguised by anything. 2. The tonality of the very first chord extremely hard to fake (listen to it a few times in a row) - there's something very signature in the initial attack of powerchord, bass, kick & crash that is very unique to GD, similar bands with identical instrumentation/production don't even come close. Same thing with that Green Day "swing". It's hard to explain, but by "swing" I mean how they play off of each other on top of a click track. So even though their music is usually to click, they almost all veer slightly off of the click in an identical way with each other. It's very hard to imitate how another person interprets tempo & then recreate their feel. And 3. the elements of the voice that sounds like BJ aren't the elements that someone would typically try to nail in an impression. And even if they did want to try, it would be impossible. In this leak it's the actual tone of the voice that sounds like him, not the accent. It sounds like him trying to sound less like himself rather than someone trying to sound more like him. It's almost how he'd sound if he tried to sing in the style of a British new-wave, Modern English-esque band. I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger deal. It was probably meant to be found & discussed.


A few parts that give away that it's legit:

 0:17 - “band starts” lyric

0:24 - "being gone" 

0:38 -"sound"

0:42 - (friend? I dunno the lyric but the voice is starting to break & go into slight falsetto at a G into G# which is the exact notes BJ’s voice usually react the same way at. GD songs typically don’t go higher than a G# unless it’s falsetto)

1:12 - "I remember"

1:29 - Dunno the lyric but the fall from the B flat to G# is in other GD songs

1:36 - "gone"

2:28 - (this whole bit)

3:43 - "test"

3:50 - all the “answer” harmonies in the left channel sound like the new-wave accent isn’t as strong since they’re buried in the mix

You really fooled everyone... Again.

I’m laughing at the thought of these guys sitting around telling each other that this will be believable and to upload it. Then it’s exposed immediately 😂

C'mon, Panicland expect to increase their number of 'fans' by fooling the Green Day fans?

I bet they're having a good laugh, but their only collecting haters at the end of the day.

That is not funny at all

It’s not THAT unbelievable. It’s just not that great so the “I want to believe” effect isn’t at play here  :lol:

This. It’s not bad but it doesn’t flat out convince me the way TUT does and even though I can’t explain everything this sketchy channel has done, they’ve still released a “leak” in September that I can’t easily explain away based on everything that has happened with it since. I have to take TUT in isolation, speak only to that and block out the noise for now.  One says nothing to me about the potential authenticity of the other.

i guess it could be real, but I do not feel it is likely.

Wow, look at that, mama! It's a true believer!
