From producing themselves with Andy Ernst on an indie label, Lookout, with a limited budget; to a major label, Reprise, collaborating with Rob Cavallo for the first time, in a different studio. Still love that original raw sound from Kerplunk, and just about prefer the first version of "Welcome to Paradise". Sold 10,000 on first day of release. And currently has sold over 4m. Is that a record sales for an indie label? I think most of these 4 million were generated after and because of the success of Dookie and American Idiot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac186 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 This thought just popped into my head; I wonder why did they decided not to include the Dookie-era remix of 2,000 Light Years Away? I guess that version will forever languish on the "Jerky Boys" soundtrack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that, as not being recorded on that session's, is not real a 'dookie' track... is strange that they didn't re-recorded It for that soundtrack instead of remixing it...

fatherotti Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 General question related to Dookie anniversary and When it's Time. I read somewhere that when Michael Bayer was producing AI the musical, he actually had to ask Billie for permission to include When it's Time in the show. Due to the personal nature of it. My question is, how did he know about the existence of that song before the general public did? To my knowledge very few people knew about it before that year. Granted the song was around since 1992. However not everyone had heard the Gilman bootleg yet and, Heart like hand grenade wouldn't have been seen by a wider audience till years after. I also doubt Billie would also have been like "Oh by the way, I have this song it's really personal, I wrote it ages ago. You want it in the show?". 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know it was being demoed in 94, 97, and most importantly in that context in 2004 so I’m sure he was happy to give it a place to finally see release. But I’m sure Mayer also wanted permission before adding it into the story and rehearsals, ect. It seemed from Broadway Idiot like the two had a good working relationship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they played it live on the 21cb tour a few times perhaps he heard it that way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie didn't play it live in 2009 until 2 months before the musical premiered, production would've been well underway for the musical so it would've been added before then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the rest was from post AI. Once GD got through the mid 2000s issue with Lookout they were able to improve distribution. I had to wait 6 months to get my 1039 and Kerplunk cds when I was a kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
