It's Green Day's music, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. No one is actually going to Green Day and demanding anything. There's no entitlement in sharing your opinion on what you wish they would do. Fans talk about all this because they give a damn and everyone has their own emotional attachment to some aspect of their music. Green Day will still do whatever they want.

Hermione Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Alright, so I've moved the most recent trilogy discussion to the "The trilogy is massively underrated" thread, here: Please stop posting about the trilogy here, and head over to that thread to continue that discussion. Let's discuss Green Day being in the studio/the next album here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtrix Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Last Of The American Girls was player quite a lot on the radio here. I even heard it on the radio a couple of weeks ago. When it was released as a single I heard some radio dj's say they were glad Green Day had released a classic Green Day track as a single again. I guess it can be difficult to predict which single might do well in which part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what I saw in the single choices for AI and 21stCB was that they were very similar (AI and KYE, BOBD and 21 guns), so people in general related those two type of song with Green Day. Oh Love was something different. The bad part is that many people think "they turned pop" and arguments of the type, Let yourself go or Stay the Night instead of Kill the DJ would have been better as a second single in my opinion. For this album... an explosive rock track is what I think is needed. I hope they do it. True. Although explosive tracks an Uno were almost non existent. Maybe let yourself go, but it's not exactly the type of song you'd hear on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 4 hours ago, sara_gd said: That's true... well, to be relevant to the rock scene I suppose, not to be succesful in general terms. And certainly to satisfy most fans. East Jesus Nowhere was a single though, but I think it was just in Europe or something like that, and in the US you got 21stCB, or maybe it was the other way round It didn't get a proper video (though I like it a lot) and it wasn't played much by radios or TV stations... LOTAG wasn't played much either really. LOTAG still got more airplay than 21CB though. I don't remember ever hearing it on the radio. I think promotion of EJN was dumped after LOTAG came out. All they did was a show with Will Farrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Highway Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I remember the first time I heard 21st Century Breakdown on the radio, just before I had it, before it was out too, and I was really excited for it. I really couldn't wait to own it. I knew from that first song we were still in for something as special as American Idiot. At least it was special to me, I still listen to both albums like they were out yesterday. I think trying to decide which songs are better than others is irrelevant when you consider each and every song are great for their own reasons. It could be down to lyrics, solos, drum fills, intensity, guitar tones, vocal ranges between lead and backing. To me, deciding between two songs like Last Of The American Girls and Static Age, people may have their own opinion on which they believe is better, but I think they're as great as each other, like the drum track on Static Age, it's such a good drum track, great use of the toms with the snare and then how Tre opts to using the crash with snare and flicking over to the floor toms after the solo as opposed to just using mid and floor toms with the snare as in the intro and verses. It's fairly straight forward, but simple things can be great too. But in LOTAG, I love the bass line in that, and chord pattern too. I love the chord pattern of both of them, and the melodies played through out LOTAG suit it so well. I could go on all day about each song, but you'll be reading a 50 million word essay.

Really good song hope it had a video in a church or something and got some hype it deserved it. Listening to songs like East Jesus Nowhere is exactly the direction they should move on. It's rock it's melodic it speaks a message. I hope they go to that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played as The Tubbies on the final night if I remember right. Hope they do something similar to that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem the recall them playing it at an awards show and getting the crowd up on stage (similar to what they did in 2012), although it may of been another 21CB single. I cannot find it on youtube though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They opened the show instead of Tokio Hotel because they were late or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan3siko Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 They are not necessarily in the mixing stage yet, they could very well still be tracking. What mystifies me is that when Billie first posted the picture, the caption was just "gettin weird". He purposefully added revrad to it. Why. What happened to otis?

Mary Daze Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 So, again here I'm quoting a friend who's into recording etc, they are probably mastering!!!! Rather than mixing! They are almost done. The caption "gettin weird" refers to the (compared to usual recording units) unusually small unit which is on this picture. They are either going from the small one into the big one oooor they (assumably) are going into the small one which would lead to a hell lot of work -> they might have to combine for example the many many drum tracks so they can master that on the small one. At least that's what I understood after he explained it to me. So don't quote me on that. I know barely nothing about all this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green day doesn't, and has never, mastered their own music. They send it off to a professional, usually Chris lorde algae. The small box is a multitrack recorder, which has nothing to do with mastering. Sorry to dash your hopes, but it's the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The small box is either a 16 or 32 track recorder. Could be they're experimenting with a lo-fi sound? It might even be just the demo stage, I don't know. But I really don't think they've gotten as far as mixing, judging by that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not based on my hopes, so nothing to dash here it was just an idea based on what my friend said. He thought it would be unusual to do something with this kind of equipment in the stages before mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
