pacejunkie punk Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It would make no sense to record an album in January and not release it for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe the Christmas elves video had a deeper meaning. You wanted experimentation? Here you go, a GD Christmas record of punk rock gregorian chants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 6 hours ago, Redundantuserjinxboy said: Reasons I am nervous for this upcoming album: -Butch Walker, a producer with a record of producing some very "poppy" rock albums such as Weezer (the newer stuff that is) and Fallout Boy. I don't want Green Day to sound so polished and clean as those bands do, as poppy. -Green Day recently joined crush music, crush also manages Weezer, Panic at the Disco, and Fallout Boy (no risrespect to any of them.) Now it seems like these are all bands who kind of put out whatever they can to get to the top of the charts. Green Day joining crush might suggest that they want to get to the top of the music charts and wanted help with doing so. This, exactly. It doesn't mean the album will necessarily sound like these bands but... Crush and Walker kind of sound like a set up for Nightlife 2.0. 4 hours ago, J a c said: Too many flowers and sparkles for one Twitter username See?! It's definitely Billie!

Crush and Walker kind of sound like a set up for Nightlife 2.0. I agree with you, but Green Day have never really had the pop leanings that blink etc have had. Nightlife is awful, but musically sounds like Green Day still. Bands like Blink have always had a more prominent pop sound to me, so it was less of a surprise when they went down that route. Id be really surprised and disappointed if they actually made a pop album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hear it in Still Breathing. With a poppier production, it would make a real earworm. It's a horrible idea, but they'd be able to write like that. I conpletely agree that they've never been as poppy as other Crush bands and never really followed trends, but this is currently my One Fear.

If you removed her it's actually a decent little progression and Billie's guitar touches in certain spots are somewhat reminiscent of The Clash. Good progression but terrible decision making.

I'm torn on this song, because the bass line is nice and groovy and overall it's this really cool a bit dark sounding song that could have had a new wave feel and be absolutely awesome but Lady Cobra and the lyrics ruin it. If they went a little more over the top with it, it could pass as a joke song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made it clear how I feel lol The thing is that this is Green Day... they literally could have had anyone rap on this if they wanted. Like imagine if it was Method Man and not Lady Cobra.

Mystic Knights of the Cobra were an East Bay band that he discovered at Gilman and he wanted to encourage and support them. Their sexy party vibe suited FBHT so they took them on tour. Then he struck a friendship/became drug buddies/whatever with LC and wanted to continue working with her. With Billie it always starts with some personal connection not how famous a person is or whether it will get chart attention because of the name.

Still one of the worst decisions ever made by the band lol Fine that's cool collaborate with artists from your area ... get Tim Armstrong on the track then... Also my point of saying he could have had Method Man isn't about chart performance or how famous he is. It's about how good he is at his art. Green Day actually gets a lot of respect from the hip hop community but we ended up with Lady Cobra. She's the worst thing to happen in the GD community since the 5 year wait for 21cb.

Hermione Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I would love for Green Day to collaborate with a talented rap artist but I don't think Nightlife was the right kind of song for that. That kind of breathy speaking (as opposed to real rapping) suits the vibe of the song. Aside from some slightly dodgy lyrics I like it and think it works.

Or someone like Method Man as mentioned, or Kendrick Lamar for someone more current, any good rap artist! Nightlife really wasn't an opportunity for this though haha, it wasn't like they went "let's do a song with a rapper" and Lady Cobra was the best rapper they could find, they just wanted to do a song with her.
