PursuitOfEpicness Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Green Day hyping a song that is just their side project never has happened. That would be a first. I think the point of their side projects were that they were on the down low so that way they didn't have to face criticisms and they could have fun with any styles of music they wanted. That being said... their new band is totally the rev rads obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, back in 2008, I was questioning whether FHT Stop Drop and Roll (great album by the way) was the new album we were waiting for, then 21CB happened!

That Dude Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Can someone tell me how I can become a citizen of Spain so I can enter that contest to hear BANG BANG the day before it comes out? It's a lot of trouble but I think it would be worth it to hear the song hours before the rest of the world! I don't know if I'm being sarcastic or serious about this...........Anyone on here live there? If so: Enter, win and sneak a recording device in with you. Record everything, even the sound of security throwing you out. I will reward you by listening to your recording. Okay, so it sounds like the album Dookie. Cool. What would the general reaction of everyone be if it sound EXACTLY like Dookie? Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals and production all Dookie-Like? A song that could fit on that album and not be weird? We've all hee-ed and haw-ed about what the new album should sound like, and my pick (as far as comparing it to older material) has been a Nimrod-Idiot-Warning combo or at the very least an Idiot Warning. But maybe they've decided to go the route they go with their live shows: A bunch of American Idiot, a bunch of Dookie!. American Dookie! It could work and doesn't sound like a bad idea actually (the combination of sounds, not the terrible album names I'm about to ramble on about) Combine elements of your two biggest successes, put them in a blender, put some powerful lyrics over it and BOOM: American Dookie! There's a title right there. BOOOM! AMERICAN DOOKIE! Oh, I've just got another brilliant idea. Remember how the band wanted to call it "Liquid Dookie" but the record company said it was too gross? THIS could be Liquid Dookie! Or Liquid Sh*t. Or American Sh*t. Let's see....7 parts Dookie, 7 parts Idiot, 4 parts Trifecta, 2 parts pre-Dookie, 2 parts Breakdown, 2 parts Nimrod, 1 part Warning. Welp, time to find the good ole' "ideal set list page" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanlolss Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Speaking of conspiracy theories, I was just looking back through old GDA articles and came across the one where they announced Billie was going into rehab. Wow, now that is a comment section in denial. People saying "I'm not believing until they post a video of themselves saying it" , "This is just a PR stunt by the label", etc.. Man.

Some people are really something I think what some people believed was that after the freakout at iHeart Radio, Warner was trying to make it look like Billie wasn't completely insane so that record sales wouldn't be hurt. I think everyone realized that Billie really did need rehab but I think at the time I thought it was a PR stunt as well, I won't lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Are people actually really thinking this could be a side project or just joking? Because they would have to be complete dickheads who wish to commit career suicide to lie to fans by making them think a new Green Day album was coming out just to bring attention to a side project. It would be a dick move of epic proportions that would disappoint everyone. I mean, I guess they could always quietly release a side project thing as an extra (although seems unlikely, that usually happens while the band is still way out of the spotlight long before new Green Day stuff is announced). But there's no way they would ever hype it up/use Green Day's name or a promise of a new Green Day album to draw attention to it, that goes against the whole idea of a side project (to be secret and separate from Green Day). If they say it's Green Day there's no way it's anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localinsomniac Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think there are people who believe the band is messing with us, but don't realize Warner likely wouldn't allow that. There's a Green Day album on the horizon, no doubt about it. The #mynewband thing probably means nothing in that context, but I'm still wondering about the remote chance of a side project happening in addition to it somewhere along the line.

They're definitely adapting to the times by going for Andrew over Chris. Can't argue with the track record, and I'm an amateur so it's kind of a flippant observation...but I kinda cringe when someone says he "mixes the shit" out of something- to me it implies a heavy handed touch (as in overwhelming the underlying music- aka taking the approach of a DJ and taking liberties, etc.), which is definitely what I do not want to hear. However, I'm going to assume the best and take it as he means he did a fantastic and balanced job mixing, which is what a sound engineer aims to do. He's obviously a pro, so I'm definitely going to give him the benefit of the doubt- from what I remember Stadium Arcardium was well mixed! Glad to see Dugan back, and curious as to what happened with CL Alge...he always did a good job, I thought, except for those parts of 21CB where I thought Butch Vig got into overproduction mode.

So I hope they don't take that route. One of my main wishes is for the drums to sound better, Tre's a great drummer but the drum tone always leaves a lot to be desired. Great observation, I think this is what irritates many of us about the Trilogy. While the overall songs were oftentimes very dynamic and enjoyable live, the studio version felt overly glossy and artificial. Underproduced in an overproduced kind of way if that makes sense. The live versions had so much more vibrancy than the studio versions (which is perfectly normal, but for the Trilogy it was especially noticeable and still makes it difficult to listen to). This is why the demolicious tracks are oftentimes so much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
