Gwen Stacy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Holy. Fucking. Shit. They played Sure to Fall! I've loved that song since I heard The Beatles cover it on the Live on the BBC Vol. 2 and Billie Joe and Norah just fucking nailed it! Everyone there sounded great. Goddamn I wish I could've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah Billie Joe is a really limited front man if you completely discount the two things that front men usually do: Songwriting and singing. Say what you will about his technicality, but his consistent tone (save for a lot of the trilogy tour) and his massively influential delivery/runs make his singing a plus. He doesn't try to be inventive with the guitar because he doesn't have to be Jimi Hendrix to accomplish what the band/fans are looking for. He, like Tre and Mike, has shown flashes of improv-ability, it's just not a focal point of their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamn I wish I could've been there. Yeah, as they were playing this, I was thinking of how The Beatles covered this song over fifty years ago. And in the mid-sixties, Ravi Shankar introduced The Beatles to the sitar and became friends with George Harrison. Ravi Shankar of course is the father of Norah Jones. And just a few weeks ago, Green Day played with Ringo, covering Boys. What a web of musical connections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Billie Joe Armstrong, Norah Jones Stage Surprise 'Foreverly' Concert Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones performed a surprise set comprising their entire 2013 Everly Brothers tribute album, Foreverly, at the intimate Bowery Electric in New York City Wednesday night. Despite never touring behind the LP, Jones and Armstrong sounded perfectly at ease throughout opener "Roving Gambler," available to watch above. Both strummed acoustic guitars and settled into the kind of dusty, smoky harmonies perfect for tragic tales of no-good hoodlums and card players. Jones and Armstrong performed the rest of Foreverly track-by-track, but closed the show with a cover of "Sure to Fall (In Love with You)," a song penned by Carl Perkins, Bill Cantrell and Quinton Claunch and notably recorded by the Beatles during their BBC sessions. As much as Foreverly was an Everly Brothers tribute album, it was specifically a remake of the duo's unique album, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us. Released in 1958 after a string of hits, the LP found the Everly Brothers paying homage to their Tennessee roots with acoustic renditions of traditional folk and country songs. Armstrong stumbled across the LP and quickly fell in love with it, growing enamored with the notion of pop and rock's two earliest stars singing about death, jail and unrequited love. "I liked the whole concept," Armstrong told Rolling Stone, "that this was something taught to them, and now it's being taught to me. I thought it would be cool to pass the tradition one more time." Jones was brought in on the suggestion of Armstrong's wife, Adrienne. The singer-songwriter handled the higher harmonies typically sung by Phil Everly, while Armstrong played Don; though the structure of their harmonies was similar to the Everlys' originals, the pairing of male and female voices heightened the emotional and sexual tensions in many of the tracks. "That was the key to us – not to just copy the record," Jones said. "Songs like 'Down in the Willow Garden' and 'Put My Little Shoes Away' – they're such dark lyrics. We thought we'd play that up." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/billie-joe-armstrong-norah-jones-stage-surprise-foreverly-concert-20150625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Good old Seadog hating on Green Day on a Green Day forum and expecting people to agree with him. I thought he was over the petty attempts to insult the band but I guess I was wrong. The funny thing is that so many great musicians have come out and praised Foreverly for its beauty and unexpected skill, yet Portland Seadogs thinks that his opinion is somehow more valid even though he can hardly play guitar. Big ego, eh? I know how that feels Seadog Brewing Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcyJ76 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well, and if so? Why again and again making an issue of it, just by seeing a picture... Must have been a lovely concert. I'm sorry, I panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well, and if so? Why again and again making an issue of it, just by seeing a picture... Because his performance was probably 1000% better thanks to his drunkenness. You should know that by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying someone has a big ego is a personal comment, I don't really see how that has to be spelled out to you. Like I said cut it out, if you want to disagree with someone in a thread you can do it by commenting on what they posted not their personality. If you want to discuss this with me further do it via PM. So anyway on with discussing this show. I love the Down in the Willow Garden video . Such a beautiful and haunting song.

Yeah I said that tons of amazing artists love Foreverly, so why does he think he knows more about music composition than actual talented artists? That was my argument and wasn't personal. Cath insulting me directly is a personal attack. Seriously Hermione, cut out the dink and dunk attempts to suspend me. If you're going to make up things just to get me in trouble, if that gets you off, then you could just suspend me for nothing, bc at this point that's basically what you do.
