Gwen Stacy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm loving what they did with it in studio and the high quality, but without the swearing it feels kind neutered. It's like a neutered German Shepard, still huge and cool, but it just is lacking the bite it needs to have and that it will have. Even bleeped out would be better.

Nzap Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I find it quite funny that it's okay to have "Hold him under water until he suffocates and drowns" in a clean version, but a single "fuck" is so bad. Fortunately in Finland you can hear the real version on the radio as well. At least on the rock-stations. But I'm not saying you can't hear it in other places as well. Just saying cause I live here. Not trying to say anything close to that other countries suck or anything. I'm sure that there are real versions on the radio around the world. Just kinda sucks this isn't.

Malleus Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't wanna listen, cause I already heard Oh Love and Let Yourself Go, I don't really wanna spoil too much - Nuclear Family - Stay the Night - Carpe Diem - Let Yourself Go - Kill the DJ - Oh Love Get on my level, Cameron.

WhiteTim Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There isn't auto-tune, there's pitch correction - huge difference. Also, the "auto-tune" effect I think people are hearing is a chorus effect. You do know auto tune doesbt always make people sound like a robot/t pain right? (Not saying there autp tune in this song or not) Listen to Smashing Pumpkins Adore album Billy uses auto tune for all of the songs but u cant really tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot That Fucker Down Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I didn't like it at first too but I think it's mostly because we hear the words DJ and someone too much and in the uncensored version this doesn't happen... What's the uncensored version of the chorus, then? The chorus right now is "Someone kill the DJ/Someone shoot the DJ" which is insanely weak.

drugstore hooligan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree with matt who i think beat me to the punch explaining the difference between auto tune and pitch correction. No auto here, pitch correction yes. All artists on majors it. Thats just music production. its no biggy. Billie can pull it off live for sure. The studio version just needs to be spot on thats all. anyways loving the song. My boys never dissapoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeysturkeyhead Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Auto-tune or not, Billie can atleast sing live. It's not like it's Bieber, that mothetfucker can't sing live and it's a fact! Search him on youtube amd you'll get my point, he even laughs at himself in one video cause he realises how bad it soundsXD "Someone Kill the DJ/Shoot the fucking DJ" And later it goes "Hold him underwater till that motherfucker drowns" I think Are you sure it's not"hold him underwater suffocate him till he drowns"?

Cheap Escape Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Man, that "_______ left in the club" line has me stumped. I'm sitting here listening to that part over and over (slowed down quite a bit). It sounds like "per-goff bulls left in the club," haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulS Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Not to get bogged down in this, but since people have started to lie for some reason: Auto-Tune is a software plug-in to correct pitch. Just like Melodyne, and just like a whole bunch of other packages. To what extent you use any of them is entirely up to the effect you want to achieve (from the robotic to the natural), but their fundamental job is to correct pitch. They are pitch correction. There is no difference whatsoever. If you want to believe Green Day never use it, then fair enough. But let's not lie about what the software does.

petros Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Are you sure it's not"hold him underwater suffocate him till it drowns"? Well I heard both I don't know I don't know I've only heard the live version one or two times after I heard the one we have now for the first time... I remember reading the lyrics I wrote before without hearing the song so when I heard the live version I thought it was it but I'm not sure.

Soroush Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I really like this song. The uncensored version is definately fantastic. the only problem is that the song is slower than the live version and this gets your energy when dancing to it. if it was faster like the live version, it would be considered as a more soul-searching song to me.

Sixtrix Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I might be wrong but in the 2nd chorus part I thought Billie sang "We only protest the dirtiest kind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaddi. Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So Germany gets the song tomorrow and the US on the 21st? I wish they'd made the release date clear for once, I hate not knowing what's up. It can't be that hard to announce a date for a single release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Billiejoezee- Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 EARLY LISTEN! I absolutely love it. The chorus gets a bit on my nerves, though. But it's only because of the amount of 'Someone's in it, instead of fuck. I would of rather hear the beep instead of replacing the word. But this is edited, so i'm excited to hear "Kill the fucking dj" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsideOut Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's interesting seeing the reactions people are having to this song from various media/news sites.. from "Wtf are they doing..." to "AMAZING". This is the response I would have expected with a song like Kill The DJ and I think it's understandable. Personally, I really enjoy it. I love that the band is doing something risky and different. I did prefer the live version much more, but that's usually the case with any Green Day song, so I don't really mind. My only thing is that the ending is really repetitive, even in the explicit version. But aside from that, I really like the lyrics to this one much more than Let Yourself Go and Oh Love. Looking forward to hearing the unedited version, which I'm sure I'll like even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
