Jollyroger118 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I don't want any crazy production or eclectic instruments or different styles for their next album I just want some solid songs. I would take another rock opera but its far from necessary I just want some honest good lyrics and Green Day doing what I love them for musically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the important thing is the lyrics are good, good arrangements ... The rest is bullshit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anaïs. Posted June 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2014 So I know we often give the band a hard time for their by-the-numbers covers, but I honestly think their "Working Class Hero" is leaps and bounds better than the original. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshat Jain Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 wait wait.. that's too soon, or too far, or too much too soon., let them enjoy a bit, billie got a new award, mike and brit are dealing with the biggest consequence, ( well i have no idea of Tre, sorry for that ) their get together would be amazing, they would be having a lot new experience, especially Mike. and they'll give us something about their experience. and everytime they something on their own experience, it's just way too amazing, way too great. ( by the way anyone know, how and where is Sir Tre Cool...!! ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Out of 120-odd songs in their catalogue (pre-Trilogy), there was always gonna be a few which had repetitive choruses, but I'm sure the ratio increased in the Trilogy. Mind you, I'm too lazy to actually look in to it, so I may be proved wrong That's because the Trilogy is a deliberately more simple and fun direction, with a kind of retro rock and roll vibe to it. Those kind of choruses fit those kind of songs. I think it works straightforwardly for the more fun songs, and works as a nice contrast to the darker verses in the more serious songs (and sometimes both at once for the songs that have both fun and dark elements), I don't have any issue with it. So I know we often give the band a hard time for their by-the-numbers covers, but I honestly think their "Working Class Hero" is leaps and bounds better than the original. It's so great, the drums add so much to it, Billie's singing is perfect for it and they made it their own. Hands down their best cover. The Network are Green Day -_- Wrong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat1308 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Wrong Remember that one time when that Mike Dirnt dude offhandedly took credit for The Network? I mean, what a jerk. [/sARCASM] So, we don't want norwegian black metal. Damn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 So I know we often give the band a hard time for their by-the-numbers covers, but I honestly think their "Working Class Hero" is leaps and bounds better than the original. Agreed, Working Class Hero is the perfect mix between original and cover song. Mind you, I still orgasm whenever I hear 'A Quick One' or 'Like a Rolling Stone' - the production on those is out of this world. That's because the Trilogy is a deliberately more simple and fun direction, with a kind of retro rock and roll vibe to it. Those kind of choruses fit those kind of songs. I think it works straightforwardly for the more fun songs, and works as a nice contrast to the darker verses in the more serious songs (and sometimes both at once for the songs that have both fun and dark elements), I don't have any issue with it. It's so great, the drums add so much to it, Billie's singing is perfect for it and they made it their own. Hands down their best cover. Wrong Yeah I guess it makes sense if you take it in the context of simple and fun, which is obviously what they were aiming for, but in my opinion, the quality of the music took a significant downturn as a result of going in that direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 So I know we often give the band a hard time for their by-the-numbers covers, but I honestly think their "Working Class Hero" is leaps and bounds better than the original. I've never been able to get into it. I think that's partly because the Manics released a cover of it the same week, which I prefer. It was really weird having my two favourite bands release covers of the same song at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
