I really, really like the album version of that song, but it just doesn't work live, I hope they won't play it on tour. It's an energy-killer, the opposite of every other Green Day song, lol.

Bring on Meet Me On The Roof and Graffitia live😍 Agreed. The samples just don’t work live and Billie can’t pull it off. Whatever the reason, I hope he’s doing better when they go back to playing live shows so he can do the new songs justice. MMOTR and Graffitia aren’t that easy either. It’s all quite high for his voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don't even remember the release party, so it must've been not great. I gotta rewatch it to hear Billie's questionable singing because I can't even remember how he sounded. I just remember pink jacket and soap opera sign.

The pink jacket was by far the best part. ❤️ 2 hours ago, Beerjeezus said: Agreed. The samples just don’t work live and Billie can’t pull it off.

Yeah, I guess that would be my main complaint with FOAM: most of the songs are actually pretty good but I don't know why he choose to go so high-pitched with some of them, especially the title track. It just doesn't sound right. His natural voice is perfect as is IMO; he didn't need to get all shrieky LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it sounds cool on the record, but maybe he could make changes to how he sings it live to so the songs suit his voice better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, live performances of the title track sound SO much better than the album version IMO because he kinda gets forced to sing in his more natural voice.

The Grohl Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 True, at least he tried. He should just try...a little less now I appreciate a good falsetto or even an okay one if its used sparingly. But when I recently heard FOA I still didn't like it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Billie shrieking while jerking off on stage is the bomb; Billie shrieking while singing...not so much. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I really wasn't mad about FOA at all until I heard it live in Seville and it sounded so good. Takes me back to that show every time I hear it now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think FOAM sounds good live. It’s Oh Yeah that he can’t get right. The hockey song was cool, even though Billie strains a lot singing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 FOA sounds great live for sure! I think Oh Yeah sounds better the more they play it live. The last time they did it, it felt like they were getting the hang of how to do it live. FRA is a really fun song live though it would probably sound better in a lower register.
