Spike Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't want to hear them, but I doubt her vocal abilities are much different in those They are, she wasn't particularly good at Green Day songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klytaemnestra Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 so based off that video i have come to the conclusion that billie tends to sing in a northern accent. maybe it's just me but her pronunciation didn't seem to differ from billie's at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, I'm with Lil. I was waiting for some dramatic moment where her accent just really diverged from what I was expecting, and the moment never came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klytaemnestra Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What exactly is a northern accent? an accent from the north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 an accent from the north. North of what location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klytaemnestra Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 North of what location? north of south. nah a northern accent usually refers to an english northern accent (although there are several different variations). look for mine or tom's post in the accent game thread in shenanigans for two examples of different northern accents. the north, by the way, is anything above sheffield.

Libertine Angel Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Also dangerously emotionally continent and generally repressed. If that's the criteria for being northern, then I'm more northern than I thought. None of my UK-based family is from any further north than Birmingham though, so I don't know where I get it from.

I would share our BOBD cover to see if that's a general thing but it's so badly mixed it's embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 No One Knows is Mike's best ever bass work and arguably the best "slow" song they've ever done. Discuss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss.i wouldnt go as far to say its mikes best bass work, however it's damn good. A stand out song with incredible bass work on it is something like Stuart and the avenue, that being said they're a lot more songs that have great bass on them. Neither would I say no one knows is there best "slow" song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would I say no one knows is there best "slow" song. I guess it depends what you like when it comes to bass. I guess it's not his most melodic but I like the whole arpeggio thing, and it's a really interesting thing for them to have done. Songs like Stuart & The Avenue are awesome but it's a different style altogether, where he's throwing solos and fills everywhere rather than holding down the backbone of the song yet still standing out. Similarly: On a non-technical level, Christie Road is Billie's best vocal performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restless Heart Syndrome is easily his best on a technical level but you have to go back to the really early material for raw emotion.

Restless heart syndrome and rusty James are two newer songs that also have great vocals. Who else here think the static age is one of green days most underrated songs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think American Idiot has a ton of emotion vocally as well. I like the verses of Static Age but not so much the chorus. It would have benefited from some trimming at the end too.
