Mykee Mexx Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I dont like Christian's Inferno because I think it's disjointed. The verses are very angry and hard. Then the chorus is repetitive and childish. Its like what a song would sound like if they collaborated with The Wiggles I don´t know the Wiggles, but these might be the reasons why I like the song.

Chin for a Day Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I seriously thing The Wiggles is why you like the song. Here is their big hig. I will admit, I took my kids to see them. And they were good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maid Meringue Posted January 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2015 My top 5 songs are probably: - Stuart and the ave - Going to pasalacqua - Homecoming - When I come around - Deadbeat Holiday The few green day songs I cannot stand are Amy, Nightlife and Christian's Inferno. There are more I dislike but those are def my hated ones Finally someone appreciates Deadbeat Holiday and Stuart and the Ave as much as I do!! I'm surprised! I have to disagree with Christians Inferno though. I love the sense of urgency and masochistic buildup that boils over in the song. It's pretty much the turning point in the album's storyline. People like comparing it to St.Jimmy but I think that it is much darker - coming from an internal, aggressive pain. The two disjointed components of the song mimic symptoms of manic-depression brilliantly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was an unpopular opinion not too. Although I do feel sorry for the cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've come to the conclusion that Christie Road is Billie's best pre-21CB vocal performance. So there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z J Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've come to the conclusion that Christie Road is Billie's best pre-21CB vocal performance. So there. Hmmm interesting choice. I'd say in terms of technicality I'll take Give Me Novocaine. I also really like Going to Pasalacqua and 80 for Billie's vocals, but those are less about technicality for me, just delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely agree with GME as one of the best technically. Billie wasn't that great a singer in the early days but the nuances of Christie Road really set it apart for me.

Z J Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't get what's so great about 21CB vocals. Pretty much what Tom said. For example, his range shown on Before the Lobotomy, 21 Guns, Restless Heart Syndrome, and Last Night on Earth are head and shoulders above the rest of their catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just feel like the 21CB vocals sounded fake or odd. I prefer Billie's classic voice in AI, Dookie, Nimord, and Insomniac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's not the fault of the vocals, though, it's the fault of the production. Well I get why that would count against someone's opinion of the vocals, because that's precisely why I don't like the Trilogy vocals I like Nimord too. New album? I just feel like the 21CB vocals sounded fake or odd. I prefer Billie's classic voice in AI, Dookie, Nimord, and Insomniac. I agree that I'd prefer hearing Billie's voice on other albums, because his delivery is unique and unmatched by anyone. But if I'm discussing his best vocal, it is definitely 21CB.

Hermione Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 His vocals have got to be the best on 21st CB in technical terms. And what makes them the best overall is subjective of course but I love them best too I like Nimrod and 21st CB. Both my favourite albums. Along with Uno Dos and Tre they're also my joint favourites 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his vocals on the trilogy were excellent. I am amazed at how he has grown as a vocalists. Most singers lose some of their ability as they get older. He has gotten better. It shows how hard he works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm not sure how I feel about the vocals on the Trilogy. I mean there's nothing wrong with them, but the melodies don't flatter Billie's voice at all. It doesn't really show off what he's capable of.

Maybe, but compare them to Insomniac where he indecipherable. The enunciation, the clarity and the range are all vastly improved. He always had the ability to interpret, so that is still there. Overall, his vocals have greatly improved over the years. Most singers lose vocal ability as they get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think they're great on the trilogy, really clear. He showed off what he could do with them more on 21st CB because it was that type of album but the quality is still there when used more simply/less ambitiously too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I like the insomniac vocals I didn't say that I didn't like the insomniac vocals. But he does mumble alot in them. He has become a much better technical vocalist as he has aged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
