Popular Post Montclare Posted September 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2017 I tend to keep the volume on my speakers pretty low at work; I only turn them up when the air conditioning kicks on. Normally that's not a problem, except for when it turns back off and you're blasting Dominated Love Slave to the whole office. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I stumbled across this on YouTube. It sounds like it could be Billie, anyone know anything about it? I had Angelica Houston in mind when it popped up lol! Now that would be something...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope mentions working on it at the studio Billie had in his house. There's info on it in Gimme Something Better, but unfortunately the page pertaining to the song isn't public on Amazon so I couldn't cut and paste or link. I highly recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer hearing my second least favorite song (which I haven't thought of yet) right after my second favorite than right after my third least favorite. At a pinch, even it it contravenes to the sacrosanct principle of "staying in the present", I'd let my mind drift to the previous song and randomly come back to the one that's going. Actually, that's pretty much how I started to hear differently some songs that I was convinced not to like / to feel indifferent about, and after that moment I got to like them more and more. A bunch of songs off Nimrod for instance (the ones with a more punkish sound, for I did not know a thing about punk before coming into GD, and the love of the core punk sound was not spontaneous for me; nevertheless, it's there and strong now. One of the great things with GD is that this love can totally come in a gradual and natural way), many songs off Insomniac more recently. Even Say Goodbye on RevRad. I was listening to the whole album, when SG started I just thought of Revolution Radio, and all of a sudden I came back and really heard the song. Now I sometimes want to hear that song and not another. Spoiler I must admit, this hasn't happened with Last Ride In yet. Not hearing Billie's voice at all is a problem to start with. Maybe I'll get over it someday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Man I really love Governator. It’s just such a cool song. The bit after the chorus when it’s like “he’s at it again” etc, the guitar is stopping and starting, but for once the bass isn’t following that lead and fills in those little silences, I love it (It’s hard to describe lol). And also the “walk around I see...” bit with the drums, the bass drum sounds so good There was a word Billie sings in a song I was listening to yesterday that I meant to post in here but now, of course, I’ve completely forgotten what it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewegoagain Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I fucking love Warning the song (& the album but that's another story). Guess underrated isn't the right word but I feel like I never see any love for it? On the surface it appears kind of anonymous but the beat and guitar riff have such a solid, awesome groove I'm sure if I listened to it 24/7 I'd get so much shit done (<<-- poor substitute for a "super energised half dancing half being productive" emoji). And I love the vocals throughout but especially the way Billie spits lines like "don't you talk to strangers" and "question everything" and I forgot how good he looks in the video 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they play GD a lot in general, but those seem to be on the list. Warning is cool. The version on Rock Band is even cooler though, it's like they added an extra guitar or something! Edit: I was looking for the version have on my phone but ended up finding a few different mixes of instrumentals - love this one!

Still prefer the original lol, but that bass sound is pretty delicious (did myself the favour of also clicking through to the HAR instrumental - fuck ) And that's cool! When I said no love I meant around here but I'd also die if Warning was ever played on the radio here. My fave station is pretty cool but it's usually Good Riddance, American Idiot, BOBD or the occasional Rev Rad track last year. Although actually I heard a slightly surprising one one morning this week but I forget which one Still, made my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing a few weeks ago 21 Guns in a store, and I was listening to it on my headphones at the same time. I put off my headphones when I approached the checkout, and I was like "how can it be? Billie's delicious voice I hear out loud in the air? and I was just listening to that song..." I really thought I had some sort of double hearing hallucination before I realized it was on the radio. People must have wondered why I looked like : Anyways, it was the 2nd time I was hearing a Green Day song somewhere outside of home in... well, at least one year I'm paying attention... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bellie Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 This video has become one of my very favorites, pretty much because of Billie's vocals from 5:16 to 5:37 and at 6:19. You can see what I like there, higher variations to the song's original vocals. Billie's voice is just It's pretty incredible, because Insomniac is the last album I got into, and I got into it pretty fast and well; I don't know its GD album rank for me now (I had said before it was my 2nd least favorite; if ever it would still be the case, well I really do love each and every album of the boys' then ), in any case, my love for this album has grown a lot, and it's notably thanks to live performances like this one, as well as some of Stuart And The Ave., Brain Stew, and Geek Stink Breath for instance (the two latter I had discovered in first). I'm notably thinking of the following live performances for these 3 songs: And Geek Stink Breath 1:05:37 : 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 They should play more of it more often goddamnit! *Little Rant* Seriously, who wouldn't freak out if they played Brain Stew/ Jaded, Stuart Ave, Armatage Shanks, No Pride or Walking Contradiction? In general I'd say, either make the setlist longer or take out a few AI songs or KFAD (or just the covers whatever) and then add a few songs from Nimrod and Insomniac. These albums are getting so little playtime. They used to play Scattered (they played it at my first gig), but now they only have two songs from Nimrod, only one song from 21CB, not a single song from Insomniac (at least for more than 90% of shows) and more songs from AI than RevRad, wtf? This setlist needs balancing. Seriously, it pains me to say it, but a few songs just need to go (or and we know this ain't happening; the setlist needs to get longer)! Maybe for the South America leg they'll go wild and play more than 30 songs at the last few gigs, who knows. But we know they're all 7 years older and we can't expect them to have the same endurance as then, I mean Green Day shows are incredibly long even now... *Little Rant over* 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
