The Disappearing Boy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think everyone is talking about two different things here...The original poster is talking about a contest that was held a few years ago during the AI tour. There was an official website where you could take the drum beats, backup vocals, main riffs, and other stripped down parts from either Boulevard of Broken Dreams or Holiday and make your own remix to name and submit. The contest part came in when Green Day themselves (or so we were told!) picked the best remix from a group of randomly selected finalists. The winner got to have their mix played to the entire arena at one of the concerts, and I think they also got to meet the band.ive never heard of this. i assume it never happened.

warding_off_regrets Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't even know...Part of me wants to say I don't recall hearing anything about a winner, and the other part of me wants to say a winner was chosen and their mix was posted on the official site...and I listened and thought to myself "well that was shit."I'm probably confusing memories on that *scratches head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wicked cool to mess around with. I actually got in the final thingy with one of the mashups I made, I think it was like a top 20 or whatever. but I didn't win obviously hahaa:) I wish the site was still around!
