Chin for a Day Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 He sounds like a higher pitched, Dubstep-esque, autotuned version of a drunken Jack Sparrow. And Lady Cobra just didn't cut it for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. Johnny Depps singing voice is actually much lower but you still made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Also, potentially an unpopular opinion, but I think Rest is one of the best songs on 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. *I Was There Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. But thanks. *I Was There That is a /slick/ tune, Wall King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hermione Posted February 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2015 You want to talk unpopular, I like Nightlife. As far as I know, there are only two of us that do. I like it! I always hoped for a Green Day rap song (ever since I heard Like A Rat Does Cheese - with the title and many of the lyrics quoted from classic gangsta rap songs - I knew the two things were compatible!) so it was a bit of a wish come true for me, and I think they pulled it off well with a good balance of rock and rap and Lady Cobra's seductive vocals and Billie's zombie like vocals going together nicely. Someone described it as "zombie punk rap", I think that's the perfect description. I'd really love them to collaborate with a properly well known/well respected rap artist next though. Lady Cobra raps but only as part of a strange experimental punk band so it's not quite the same thing, her vocals sound more like sultry talking and only just about qualify as rapping really, and although Nightlife does have a good rap beat to make it feel like more of a rap song as well, and is a great song, it'd be nice to see them go even further into the genre now that they've dipped their toes in it. Possibly unpopular! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly unpopular! That was beautiful, perfect way to describe it! I would love to see them collaborate with a more established rap artist as well. They seem to have a relationship with Snoop, that would just blow my mind. I was hoping for a Beastie Boys song at Little Kids Rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great to see them do something with the Beasties, I'm sure they would've been up for it too, unfortunately since MCA's death they're not continuing as a group though. But I guess you never know what the other members might do in the future. And something with Snoop would be great . I know Lil Wayne is a fan as well and have heard quite a few other rappers praise them so I think if they wanted to try something along those lines the opportunity would be there. Seems like there's a good chance they'd be open to it judging by Nightlife and I Run NY so I live in hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I misread Beasties as Beatles and got all excited. Well that would be even less possible . But my other ongoing wish is for them to do an album of Beatles covers, so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and first they should do Revolution, because Billy Bragg's version actually sounds like Billie's playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARVESTER Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Is it just me or does this sound like someone is unhappy with the time of their life at the moment of writing the lyrics for this? When it first came out the album, American Idiot, sounded like a cry for help. 21st Century Breakdown sounded like someone on the verge of giving up. The Trilogy sounded like someone full of complaints and an extreme lack of happiness. Someone needs hope, someone needs light and someone needs to know life.

UNICORN VOMIT Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 No homecoming is perfection. 21stcb the guys high fived as they thought they had pulled off an awesome album & it was same with the tour. There is no doubt about the trilogy reference - billie was probably in a dark place but the looked like the had fun together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sassafras Roots is superior to every single off of Dookie. If somebody is to replace Lady Cobra I vote for Lil Wayne. To make Dos suck even more?! Why?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
