Yep, it says Nightlife was written by Billie and Monica Painter (aka Lady Cobra). Are you sure he only wrote that one line?? It seems like he must have had more input than that....

Another thing I noticed is all the other songs from the trilogy are written by Billie, Mike, and Tré. No Jason White though - some people thought he may have helped write the new songs, but apparently not.

Most of the time it's Billie writing the songs. In the ¡Dos! CD book it says: all words by Billie Joe Armstrong. All music by Green Day except Nightlife written by Billie and Monica Painter. Jason is credited with guitar only. Not sure why they wrote it like that. If all words are by Billie, it should mean that Monica helped write the music but not the lyrics. Weird.

But there's a whole rhythm backbeat on Nightlife... it's not just guitar.

What do you mean exactly? I don't really understand. With the Jason part I was replying to that post, saying that Jason wasn't credited for any words. Right below Billie with guitar/vocals, Mike with bass etc it says Jason with guitar. I didn't say anything about the music itself on Nightlife.

Oh, I thought you were saying Tre and Mike were specifically not credited for Nightlife, which would make zero sense :lol: If that's the case then they really shouldn't get credit for songs like Amy and Good Riddance where they really have nothing to do with it. But they do, so never mind.

Nope. I don't care though. They're not punk enough for me :P

I'll agree that Blink is a lot poppier than Green Day but not being "punk enough"?

I mean, every man to his own, but that's the attitude that makes dudes who only listen to hardcore punk a bunch of ignorant fucks.

But I digress, I agree to disagree.

Well yeah, I don't want to seem like that "strict-punk" guy, but I don't like a lot of Blink songs. They have a few, but not enough to add an album to my itunes.

Oh, on ASCAP writers refers to music and/or lyrics. It doesn't differentiate between them. So all the songs that list all three members (Billie, Mike, Tré) mean that they all helped write the song in some way - usually it's just Billie doing the lyrics, but the 3 of them compose the music. So Jason didn't have any part in words or music according to the songwriting credits. I just though that was interesting to point out, since people were talking about him possibly having a part in songwriting since he recorded with them.

As for Nightlife, that's weird how they wrote it. They make it sound like Billie actually did write all the lyrics, and the music was where Lady Cobra helped. Odd, I thought she helped by coming up with the words, not music. But I may have been wrong. Or they may have worded it wrong. I don't know.

Not in the mood to go back through the whole post (damn, there's a lot more posts in here than I'd expect) but I was looking at Ladygunn magazine (The Killers on the cover) at Barnes & Noble tonight and they had an interview with fun. I like Jack Antonoff's shirt. :)

Sorry the photo sucks; like I said, I was at Barnes & Noble and there were a lot of employees and I don't think they would have taken kindly to me taking photos of their products without actually buying them :lol:

1:45h :)

(wait, it starts at 8:15pm, right? Prime time? :huh: )

edit: Apparently it starts at 9:pm. So about 2 hours. Viva's site confuses me.

UK only:

I have just noticed in the Sky Planner that MTV Rocks has a Green Day video premiere; tomorrow (Monday) 1255pm, and then repeated a few times. I guess it will be Stray Heart - if so a chance to see it on a big plasma TV rather than YT.

Just been told; it was The Forgotten.
