Viva La Junkpile Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Billie's voice it's self doesn't sound different to me; you can tell it's his (he has very distinct vocals. Sign of a good one ), but he's using it differently. I really love what they've done with the song so far... it sounds freaking awesome. They always seem to do great covers (better ones when they're alone to do their own thing). Billie's vocals don't surprise me much anymore; I've seen his hidden talent, while some people who say he has an OKAY voice, I'll disagee. I've heard him immitate Billy Idol, Brian Johnson, and others, and it was GOOD. Very unique vocalist. Very great band; most bands only blend a handful of influences into them (usually ones of their genre), but Green Day blend many... Loves them to death!

Parley Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I like what I hear so far. I don't think his voice sounds different, either. On AI (the album), his voice varies a lot over the course of the album--he sings in a wide range of octaves. So it isn't a new thing for him to sing in a lower voice than on the early albums.I hope the song gets lots of radio airplay, but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.

Jaelle Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It sounds great. And this is coming from a huge Lennon fan who hates any cover versions of any of his songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbk Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I loved it of course. I loved Billie Joe's voice. But I was a little disturbed by the bigness and sort of uh, how shall I say it, pomposity is not the right word because it's too harsh, but it has that kind of arena-rock grandiosity in the guitar sound. The Saints Are Coming had some of that too, but I thought that came from U2's contribution to the song, since it was more like U2's sound in that respect.

First thing I heard was their roots in metal, I think it's gritty and as I said in another post, industrial. It's a big sound, but it has depth and intensity, it's not just empty air. With Saints, I felt over-production going on, in the sense that it cushions the sound and the impact too much, curves what should be angular and strident. This is a dark, metal dirge - it connects with the bitterness and pain of the original and amplifies it. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is big, very big. That's not a bad thing in itself, just not what I expected from Green Day or what I think they're best at. Or what I personally like, which may really be all it comes down to. They're so good when they're scrappy and have that immediacy that is their trademark. I do love this, but dark metal dirges are not really what I look for from them, or what I like, I guess. Brain Stew is one of my least favorite Green Day songs.

xTrinex Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm not really familiar with the original, but i love the sound of this. i mean, i've heard the song before of course, but i had no realtionship with it.i can't wait for monday to roll around. ^^ it's going to be a slooow weekend.

Totally obsessed Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 That's awesome great song... great voice... great sound... yay!!!! it is different from their normal sound, but I like it, and it suits the song better than a full on punk thrash out if u get what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brain Stew is one of my least favorite Green Day songs.I think American Idiot changed everything - it opened so many creative avenues and experimented with so many genres that I think 'expect the unexpected' is gonna be the rule of thumb. What you say interests me in the sense that I wonder how much latitude fans are prepared to give a band before they think it sounds too different from what they originally liked. Personally, I find it exhilarating when an artist is prepared to just keep going forward into new territory, but I have to also say that my taste in music is pretty broad. Metal can be shite, but metal can be fucking glorious. I also love Insomniac so much - aw, best not to get me started on it at all, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
