localinsomniac Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 not raw but I...dunno, whatever. The vocals aren't as polished They were done quickly, I'll grant you that. But they're pretty much spot on too. This comparison has been made before, but in terms of rawness look at something like In Utero. Similarly large budget, but Kurt's vocals are intentionally not pitch-corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Using a distortion pedal = / = raw It was most likely amp distortion Seriously though. In the same way Springsteen recorded a load of demos for Nebraska and then just released those as the album, Demolicious is exactly what the Trilogy should have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Apparently when they first mixed Dookie they made it really raw and unpolished, but turned out it sounded crap so they mixed it again much more cleaned up/polished (don't know any technical terms for this lol) and it sounds great. I don't think any of their albums sound particularly raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Kerplunk? Yeah OK the first two. But I don't think that was for artistic reasons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and actually I think I read somewhere it was mainly "dry" because this is how Green Day wanted it to sound, but somehow they were convinced to add some reverb ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Green Day using a pedal? Highly unlikely. lol They definitely used them starting out, and Jason has a full setup in front of him when they play live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda weird I thought of Nebraska as soon as I heard demolicious. Great album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munns6691 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So listening to the demo version of Sex, Drugs and Violence.. that may be my new favorite trilogy song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 All I've seen Jason use live is a wah. What else does he use? On the trilogy tour at least at sxsw he had a wah pedal and 2 others but I couldn't see what just saw the wah and 2 other pedals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it, when they play American Idiot for example, BJ switches from clean to distorsion in the intro, am I wrong ? But I don't see him using any pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
