neta_cs Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 sorry, i didnt really understand all this... this single concidered a part from the upcoming CD? or is it just a cover to lennon's song, like green day did with U2 on "the saints are coming"?

punk_rockr Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 what's the matter with you guys?! It's completely boring. is it the fact that you guys can't say that green day can do things that sucks, because this do..making a cover of john lennons song, makes me so depressed. Maybe I'm just to imature for this but... geez.. can't stand this anymore, all these shitty covers they've been starting to record, everything from I fought the law to this piece of garbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nak321 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Now I finally have something to look forward to on Monday! I can't wait to hear the rest, I like it and it sounds a lot like the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

**nobodylikesyou** Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 exactly.psshh not as good as the voice of god eh? well he is the voice of god so whatever your trying to say...Yeah he is the Voice of God. In more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie_GD Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well.............I was right in saying they were gonna add drums, bass and electric guitar since it was GREEN DAY and not BILLIE JOE. But the only thing on that song that shows is Green Day is Billie's voice! Cuz all other covers (from Teenage Lombottomy to I fought the Law to Dancing with Myself) they'd put a Green Day jazz into the song, a signature, a seasoning, whatever.... But on this song they didn't....so it doesn't sound at all Green Day-ish :/just dull....I hope this does not reflect on their new album.Well at least it's all for a good cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneygirl Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 How strange is this? I've been over at the Idiot Club and there is no mention of this at all. I mean if there is I sure as hell can't find it. This is such big news but not a word over there. There's no link to the snippet, no mention of the release on Monday - nothing. Mmmmm. Very strange indeed. GDC is so on the ball with new information, and this is mega big news in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearlybeloved666* Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 i think (from what Iv'e heard) the Lennon cover is amazing and I hope we can hear the whole song soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodday Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks Andres for the update. I think Sam Bayer will do a good job. I hope Green Day feature a lot in the video. That's about the only thing I wasn't as happy about with WMUWSE and JOS because there really wasn't much Green Day in them, whereas Holiday, BOBD and American Idiot were great because they were in virtually every frame. I can never get too much Green Day. I'm so looking forward to this. It will be brilliant brilliant brilliant! :wink:Yeah, I agree with you Maribel: I want to see the guys in the video too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon was never timid about making his political statements heard, neither are they. i think its a perfect fit and i can't wait to hear the entire song...it sounds amazing from what i've heard so far!
