Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 5 hours ago, Lenny said: I read someone say they disliked Billie’s lyrics “we got less” as they believe it’s a sense of entitlement. I just want to come out and say if anyone actually possesses this devil’s advocate mentality then you’re a glutton for punishment. politicians have been taking more so we get less and we get less services despite paying more. Employers make empty promises and we get less than what was promised. In this Canadian health care crisis they promised us tier 1 health care, we are now getting less. It’s about empty promises not unrealistic expectations. That's such a weird lyric to have an issue with. In context of the song, it's clearly talking about promises made by politicans, people in power but the promises being broken and things getting worse. This defense of the rich & powerful is just fucking weird as they promise to make things better and only make things worse 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebahar Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 10 hours ago, That Dude said: Father to a son, Holy Toledo, Stab You in the Heart.....are there any other Green Day gems that came from this? At this rate, the next Green Day album is just gonna have repurposed Longshot songs on it. I honestly would’ve taken a full album of TPB songs recorded by Billie, rather than having him take the songs and just rewrite the lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 99th revolution Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I don't like when artists just slowly lose their creativity and begin to repurpose songs from years ago, but in the case of Green Day, it also caused SDAHTS (bridge) to be created. That's a good song. But well, any artist can do anything uncreative like repurposing older songs, and it's normal. It's a thing that even created some albums like Nirvana's In Utero, which mainly consisted of leftovers dating back to 1990. And even then, people are all entitled to their opinions on topics, including this. Anyway, let's get back on topic. Living in the 20's is a very catchy song. Anyone agrees with this? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they do, they'd just drive us nuts by hinting at things but then not explaining. Then we'd all get mad and GDC falls apart. 2024 hasn't given us that much in terms of GREAT music. Saviors is the only perfect record so far. At least we have Jack Black singing "Hit Me Baby One More Time"......THAT'S great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll do something in October like the rest of their stuff again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Green Day news is making me wanna make a whole tracklist of this crap.....Cooky Baby Troublemaker, Charming Teenage Teenager Bank Robber.....oh no! I think I'll go listen to Fever.

That Dude Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Jon has his ranking of Green Day albums updated and it's pretty entertaining. A little bit standard, but he does offer differing opinions on Trilogy albums and Father of All and even includes Shenanigans for a tiny twist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like it definitely best cover of the song on YT that I have heard. What do you use to record and mix down? Also the way you played it was true to the original but also seemed to have a jazz pop voicing to it which seemed very original as well. So bravo! The guitar sounds great and when it comes to acoustics I’m a psycho about getting the right sound. It took an entire team at the store to find me the exact right acoustic for the sound I have in my head. It was an expensive one and the team was great but they earned their money that day.

I find them to be overpowering to the lead but I would keep the same exact track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only some of the singles have gone up about 200k streams. The non-single tracks have only gone up 80,000-120,000. And Dilemma also gained around 450k streams, OEB gained close to 300k. TADIKM, LMNB and Bobby Sox are the singles that have gone up around 200k Also, you didn't even include Father to a Son's streams for today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all my covers i use an AKG P420 and a Scarlett Solo as an audio interface. I find a really good option to make music at home, cause the mic have the option to activate and record only what is pointed to a certain direction. For mixing, i like the waves plugins and the valhalla as well. In this particular cover i just used three plugins for mixing: CLA-76, Abbey Road Chamber and ValhallaDelay. And in the master track: NLS Channel and SSLComp for the final glue Its not easy to be satisfied sometimes with the sound, but in the end, we only have the chance to try and try again. Again, thank you for the feedback! 14 hours ago, That Dude said: Speaking of streams, American Idiot is coming up on a billion. This is gonna be a massive year for our boys indeed!
