Libertine Angel Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Dude, don't feel the need to put up that wall to protect yourself. Don't let other people's opinions make you fear your own. I wasn't afraid, I just anticipated Trilogy hate and couldn't be bothered to go through another debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniax Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have always thought J.A.R was on Nimrod.. but today when I listened to the album in my car the song never showed up. I'm amazed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Listening to the Having a Blast demo for the first time and those harmonies sound like they're off the Trilogy, and the intro to Pulling Teeth sounds kind of like State of Shock (before you ask, that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned). Also, that version of Welcome to Paradise is great. EDIT: Not just Welcome to Paradise, I generally love the guitar sound on these demos. EDIT AGAIN: Why did the end of Basket Case lead into 16, and why didn't they carry on? That sounded really good! ANOTHER EDIT: The Instrumental one reminds me of another song, but I can't figure out what. Yeah, that 16 track seemed to cut out, maybe they played it in full afterwards, but cut it off the tape. Maybe one day the full session will surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have no idea why, but the "Walking Contradiction" music video makes me so happy!?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hermione Posted September 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have no idea why, but the "Walking Contradiction" music video makes me so happy!Probably because it's so amusing and awesome! Many things to love about it but my favourite thing is how scared Tre looks (power walking and only just resisting the urge to run and duck), while Billie is fearless, and Mike doesn't actually appear to do anything dangerous 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm going through the box of Green Day singles in the corner of the room, and I've found a home-made CD with a version of Minnesota Girl that's not live, and another song I don't recognise at all, both of them listed as Untitled New Song. It also has Food Around The Corner/Dominated Love Slave, Why Does It Always Rain On Me, Life During Wartime, some Christmas songs and some other stuff from the 1999/2000 tours. This is a good day.

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sometimes I just think about how powerful and meaningful GD's music is. Their pieces make me feel like no other band or song in the world. They inspire me. And I don't care what anybody else says, they deserve to be as successful as they are today. I am so happy my dad exposed me to their music, because who knows where I would be today without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DookieLukie Posted September 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've always liked how the cover of American Idiot says "Green Day presents American Idiot." It sounds so cool and makes it seem so much more epic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Is it just me or is Billie slightly out of tune on the studio version of Going To Pasalacqua? Might be why I love the AAF version so much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick those over the originals every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick those over the originals every day. I always thought it was recorded live in the studio anyway? But yeah, there's obviously a different energy in front of an audience and it could have really taken it to the next level. It's still the best song on the album either way.

Are the Radio 1 and BBC recordings in front of an audience? They have a live quality to them but it's pretty controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Laying in my bed at home just wtached Bullet in a Bible for the 50th and thinking about how it just gets better and better every time. *emotional*? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 And there's a 1995ish one with Insomniac songs but I can't find the youtube video Ah, those sessions are recorded live in the studio then tidied up and properly produced afterwards, which is why there's a good combination of the band playing live and being polished at the same time.I guess there's more energy because they only have one chance to get it right due to time restrictions rather than taking as long as they like in the studio.

Plus it has the energetic vibe of their live performance since it sort of is live. Honestly, I'd love an album of those kind of quality recordings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grene cniht Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Every time I listen to Demolicious, I remember just how much better the sound is compared to the actual Trilogy. So do I, but then again I listen to the album versions and think they are cool in their own way. Actually I'm happy to have both the originals and the demos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
