The song was held back and didn't make their next album, Insomniac (1995) either.

suffoKate Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Dookie Dog Bowl is pretty badass, too. When Its Time piano gives me chills. Burnout demo might be my favorite. Is Dookie their best album?!?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could swear I remember Billie saying in an interview that he wrote it "around the time Dookie came out", I feel like that implies that it wasn't written in time for Dookie but idk, it's gotta be pretty close because it was about Amanda and she broke up with him right after he signed the major label contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JardyOfSuburbia Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Was thinking maybe we will get a Dookie/Idiot tour where they play those front-to-back and then realized that would just be like any other tour they do. Zing! 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get some hints at paranoia with thinking about the couple in the song. I wonder how it evolved from being about a couple to Billie Joe's anxiety.

Then later while having an anxiety attack he wrote the new lyrics 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disappearing_boy_39 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The alternate Basket Case demo is exactly what I love for anniversary additions! Songs locked in "the vault" that we finally get to hear. I really have no interest in live stuff because I've seen them live numerous times, and we can find TONS of live stuff on YouTube. I also already own the Woodstock record and have seen/heard that set so many times over the last thirty years. So, demos and alternate versions are what make sets like this fascinating! I think the vinyl box set is quite expensive, though it is coming with a lot of stuff. I hope the book is filled with interesting content. I see that we're getting an essay from Rob — which is awesome — but I hope we also get retrospectives from the guys and all parties involved. Throw in some retro news articles and press pieces. (I found the Nimrod book a little lackluster). Finally, I wish that the vinyl version came with a digital download code! I have purchased a lot of box sets over the years and think that the most interesting ones have been: the Beatles sets, especially the White Album and Revolver, Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie..., and The Beach Boys SMiLE Sessions. That latter set is the coolest of all the sets I've seen. It came with two records, two 45s, five CDs, two books, and a poster, all housed in a diorama package. And when it first came out in 2012, it only cost 149.96! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouty bitch Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Damn, Basket Case had such a glow up! Crazy that the bridge is the only similar part. And considering that the first few lines of Basket Case as we know it is one of the most iconic intros in music history, it's wild to hear it as anything else 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to my earlier post, if the original Dookie album isn't being remixed or remastered, why include it? Is that just what you do? Everyone willing to buy this set has already heard this album — likely, dozens of times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67kurt94 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Stoked for this release, solely for the demos. I'm unsure what exactly was circulating prior to the announcement but it's always nice to hear the tracks prior to their finalized formation. Not the biggest fan of the live stuff personally, but the booklet (documenting the album and lyrics) alongside the demos, will surely be a treat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy1986 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I love the Basketcase demo something very romantic yet melancholy at the same time…a friend getting high and finding love them going out on their own ad Billie watches from afar very much a story of observation I love it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Excited by that post from Bob Mehr re new liner notes and interviews! Thanks @Rumpelstiltskin2000for that! Not up on Amazon in Uk yet, not on offer on 1234Go! Do I crumple and order on GD website, knowing It’ll be late but at least I’ll get it!? C’mon Amazon, get a grip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Looks like they (almost) fixed the issue on Apple Music. You can now find and save the new album. Just In The End of the original songs is still greyed-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they have taken money stating delivery 21st August, with correction note stating revised delivery date of 29th September. You should be ok to order. Mine comes with money back guarantee. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
