stories and songs Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 *shrugs* I like it. I'll reserve strong judgement until a better quality version is released, but I think his voice sounds really nice with this style. It is a lot like Wake Me Up, but I really like that song, so it doesn't really bother me. People calling the lyrics sexist and misogynistic makes me feel like I'm on Tumblr. Sigh.

Heather. Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The fact that ladies are complaining about this song being sexist just proves that there really is "no pleasing a woman". I am a shame to my own kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstr0ng Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I like it, can't wait to hear an official release. Billie's vocals sound really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ugh...stupidity should be outlawed. -raises hand- Fuzz, she called me stupid, can you suspend her please? I rock out to anti-men songs far too often myself to get mad at Billie for saying it's frustrating to "try to please a woman." I can't go so far as to call it sexist because women hate men when they're being shitty and men can hate women for being shitty and we can all be shitty together and resent each other regardless of gender. Even raging feminist me has to agree with you there. Methinks it's fine, from a sexism standpoint (because it's not sexist at all, but I'm stupid, what do I know?).

Dalya Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So, you hate pop music yet you're on a Green Day forum? Interesting. I don't see any connection here dude. Nothing interesting here. Just because Billie Joe is featured in this song, I don't have to like it. I actually like one song by Avicii, "Wake Me Up." The vocals by BJ here are weak I would rather pick another artist for this song. If you think that Green Day is pure pop, then you are out of your freaking mind.

Connor Finlayson Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What makes you say that? This might be fake. It doesn't sound like Billie. And if It is, Im going to loose most of my respect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This might be fake. It doesn't sound like Billie. And if It is, Im going to loose most of my respect for him.It's not fake, there's just effects on his voice as part of the style of the song. Bit much to lose most of your respect for him over disliking one song he's done in his spare time isn't it? He's got some time off so he's keeping his creative juices flowing by trying out some new creative things instead of just sitting around. I'd say it's better for him to try new things when he gets the opportunity and feels like it than not even if they don't all turn out to be things that everyone loves.

Hes producing (And this is billies term) "Pop shit". What happened to "Kill the DJ"? I don't care if he works on other genres or with other people. But auto-tuned voice filter dance music? Gross.

I don't care if he works on other genres or with other people. But auto-tuned voice filter dance music? Gross. Kill the DJ is about media overload and static, not actually hating DJs. FYI, Billie has used filters to a degree on the past 5 Green Day albums soo... I also hate most of pop music, and I'm surprised I like this song. But to dismiss Billie over this one experiment is just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 will this be the official single for avicii's new album? and if so, when could it get released? just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What's with this misconception that anything that isn't rock, jazz or classical = pop? I mean, Mother Mary is more of a pop song than this and I don't see anyone bitching about the Tubbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoluvGD Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't know how I feel about the song yet, it's not great, but it's not horrible. I'll have to listen to it again and wait for a better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I hope this isn't one of those situations where the crappy half version is better than the studio version. Amy, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The entirety of Demolicious, anyone? It's just that we got that in reverse. With that secret show Amy recording, I raped the play button and swore it was the greatest song ever. Then the studio version was all weird and I weeped internally. At least with Demolicious we were rewarded at times and not made to expect much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Just wait 'till this leads him to Zedd. I'm crossing my fingers purely for the meltdowns. Hayley Williams working with Zedd got me back into Paramore after not having had any interest for three years. Maybe the same would happen to me with Green Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Now Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I really enjoyed the song from what I've listened to, though the quality wasn't amazing. I think this is just another fun and different thing Billie's ventured into doing while on break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Same. Her working with B.O.B. got me interested in them to start with. That's still the only BOB song I've ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedOut Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I kind of feel like you've missed the Trilogy. "Oh Love", "Stay the Night", "Amanda" and "Brutal Love" just doesn't beat the old stuff for me. Of course, there's "Sweet 16" and "Missing You" but the rest has just sounded like the band desperately trying to make a come back to what they were and failing to pull it off. Those aren't bad songs at all. They're just hard to segregate from the rest of the trilogy and be seen as individual songs, for "thematic" reasons. Society has acted like the trilogy has never existed and some wish it never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I tried to figure out the lyrics, if anyone's interested: I'm tired of being down on my knees With the weight of the world coming down on me She says there's always someone better waiting for her That I was so lucky to get her (x2) You know I, I wanna cry I wonder why all my tears are dry I just don't dare to show I care I got nothing left to (say?) I wonder why I try I wonder why Nothing pleases a woman I wonder why I try I wonder why Nothing pleases a woman (x2) There's just no pleasing a woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undómiel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It seems so sad that people will dismiss something just because of what genre it is. Either like it or don't, don't think it's pop - "therefore I must hate it"... be a bit more open minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity Loan Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The way that Billie sings "she says that there's always someone better waiting for her" reminds me of how he'd sing a Green Day song. I like that. It sounds like he's just saying "for" and not adding a "her" at the end. Both cases would make sense. It just sounds like "for-r" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
