localinsomniac Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was just looking through the Wiki pages for the trilogy, and noticed that Billie is credited as playing the mellotron on X-Kid. Tre also has piano credits on ¡Tré!. So, that's interesting. Sorry if it's old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MadeInRatCity Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think oh love and kill the dj were something different so they just did the unpredictable and threw those two as a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localinsomniac Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Don't shoot me. But what the fuck is a mellotron? It's okay, I had to look it up! Here you geaux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Teller Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think oh love and kill the dj were something different so they just did the unpredictable and threw those two as a single. I agree my friend.The obvious choice was the songs: "Stay the Night","Nuclear Family" or "Rusty James" but "did the unpredictable" as you said.

spark in the night Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Have you noticed that in the booklet they made some errors with the lyrics... for example on stay the night the lyrics are "Lets Watch The Star's Untill The Sun Begins To Rise" but in the booklet it says "Lets Watch the Star's Until The Star's Begin To Rise" Yeah I noticed that. I posted it in the box set thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their lyrics have always been this way though. Things get changed last-minute, or they're misprinted. This isn't exclusive to ¡Uno!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localinsomniac Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 thank you! I had no idea what that phrase meant You're welcome! It seems like more and more recently, he's been making direct references to people and landmarks.

SamMacs Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 There was a review of Uno in my towns paper today and there was one thing that the critic wrote that I reacted to: "Their skater punk fanbase has grown up and been replaced by emos" What the fuck? I hate critics because I don't see why their opinions is more valid than anyone else's but this is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femme Gauche Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think it's so interesting that basically every review of the album refers to Sweet 16 as the most melancholy/bittersweet song. I don't think it's bittersweet at all... just nostalgic. But then I think every reviewer has missed the point that Sweet 16 isn't referring to him being 16, rather 16 years passed. So they've all dropped the ball on that one, but then again Billie can't expect everyone to know what it's really about based just on the lyrics. I missed it on the first couple of listens cause I didn't have the book with me (CD hadn't arrived yet), someone corrected me in this thread actually , but if I had seen the booklet the first time I would have had no questions at all as it is quite clear who he is talking about. It's still nostalgic but it is also celebrating the years they've had together. He always writes like he is almost not good enough, though. Have you noticed that in the booklet they made some errors with the lyrics... for example on stay the night the lyrics are "Lets Watch The Star's Untill The Sun Begins To Rise" but in the booklet it says "Lets Watch the Star's Until The Star's Begin To Rise" That's not a book error, that's a songwriter error, I'd guess. He often changes lyrics during the recording process and sometimes he writes things that don't make sense. Sounds like someone too old and out-to-touch trying to use buzz words in order to get page hits for his work. Yeah ... x_x. There isn't a single thing emo about this record, really.

Annie, get your gun Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Billie's voice on Sweet 16 He knows how to give the perfect tone on every song ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamMacs Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah ... x_x. There isn't a single thing emo about this record, really. He said that this record was "happy rock n roll" and he hoped that the "kids" of today would like the album. So it seems, according to him all Green Day fans are emo kids that don't like rock n roll. What a fucking stupid reviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems, according to him all Green Day fans are emo kids that don't like rock n roll. What a fucking stupid reviewer. It's more like straight up rock'n'roll, early style. Like, before "metal" meant anything other than the elements on the periodic table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The definition of "emo" has been loosening gradually for the last 10 years. Apparently, it doesn't mean what it did when it was first used to describe Fugazi. Now, it's just thrown out there for any band that produces a song with some melancholy lyrics.
