djrossstar Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 GREEN DAY FANS: I recently got my hands on an extremely rare cassette tape compilation from the early '90s called 'Life Without Spot - A Food Not Bombs Benefit Compilation'. The compilation features Green Day under the secret name Billie Joe Experience performing an 'instrumental' jam titled 'Rox Yer Ass.' I have decided to share this gem with the world. For those who are hesitant as to it's authenticity, I reached out to Corbett Redford (of the upcoming documentary - Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk [http://www.eastbaypunk.com]) who personally verified it with Billie Joe!

djrossstar Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sounds like the same voice effect used in Android for the 'somebody else can do it' part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that as soon as I heard it - it's definitely the same track with some more guitar and voice effects on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Won, that was different, far heavier than I expected but really cool, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrossstar Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wish I could decipher any words, but the tape is old and the quality is the same as my mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send me scans of the cover? I'd like to add the tape to Discogs Very nice find man! It's great to know the title of that song now also, would you be generous enough to upload the whole tape in lossless? I'd love to hear the other bands!

homecomingkid Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Am I the only one that hears the deep voice say "Green Day" around the 1:14 mark? Maybe I'm misinterpreting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac186 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The Dookie demo version that we already know about is from Green Day's last show at 924 Gilman in 1993. It's actually a live track. The new one sounds like it's from the actual Dookie demo studio sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrossstar Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 The screams and guitars on mine make it sound almost completely different. I like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unextraordinarygirl Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Holy crap that's amazing!!! I definitely get a Van Halen/Metallica vibe from it. It's more 80's metal than punk and I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
