The Disappearing Boy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This has been incredible. I love you, GDC. Except Dookie Lukie. Sorry, Jesus. I don't love Jesus. Florence's covers are ok. Not bad I guess, but I generally prefer electric guitar over acoustic guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE THE X-KID Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I see Dookielukie more as a wannabe Hitler now but yeah the cover album is an abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I see Dookielukie more as a wannabe Hitler now For some reason the first image that came to mind was him singing Wannabe by the Spice Girls. "I wanna-ha, I wanna-ha, I wanna-ha, I wanna-ha, I really really really wanna zig-a-zig Führer." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykee Mexx Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What live performances are you watching? https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwrfZ5hnhhc Well, the first performances shown here were of poor quality, and I too, thought, she can´t even sing. The bad quality didn´t do her a favour. This one is totally different, shows she has a beautiful voice. You saved her. Just listened to some of her Nimrod covers, but, no, doesn´t do it for me. In my opinion (see, I´ve learned through this thread not to generalize ) her voice doesn´t fit into the songs, sounds poor to my ears or somewhat "pressured". I prefer male voices in these songs, find it more powerful. Well, maybe I prefer male voices anyway... She´s good at ballads (liked her voice in the clip shown here), I think, but Nimrod... no, not for me. Destroys it for me, sorry to say. Politically correct enough for this thread? Well, it´s not really GD-related... Maybe this: I would like BJ to do less if he comes back on stage with Green Day. I enjoy his in between jobs when he´s more in the background, just enjoying himself and what he´s doing. Less show, more music, please.

Sauli Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 To me the greatness of those simple stripped down versions is a testament to the power of those songs. Whilst not every great song works as an acoustic verison, if a song works even without any special gimmicks, it means that the basic composition itself is very strong. And I have personally always loved simple perfomances like that. Besides, her voice is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Listening to the Florence covers, and I think they're really cool. Idk if they're the best covers I've ever heard, but I always enjoy listening to artists change up the songs a bit. With her delivery and the stripped down set up, the quick melodies and lyrics that you don't necessarily catch when GD plays it shine through. I actually think the Grouch cover is comparable to the original. Worry Rock is actually better, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their IG teased us a little bit, but nothing too great. This is the biggest tease I've ever seen though. Not even Green Day is this cruel Cleft Pirate could be a new or unreleased album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think I said it before here, but I like SWTRLF live but found it incredibly underwhelming live. It seemed like it was a chore for them to perform because the timing was off, idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
