Spike Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Whatsername is really in drop d? I saw that on a tab somewhere and thought the tabber was crazy lol. I thought Green Day only used standard and E flat. People probably don't include WCH because it's a cover. Yeah, Whatsername is drop D. Restless Heart Syndrome is actually in D standard, too. That's DGCFAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 No it doesn't. The acoustic part does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disappearing Boy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 No it doesn't. Jason White does on the live version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Jason White does on the live version. You also see him use one on the music video where he's using an actual acoustic guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Nimrod Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah. There's a D1 power chord in it, you can't play that in standard or E flat. You could just adjust, though, couldn't you? That's DGCFAD. That is really funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 You could just adjust, though, couldn't you? Yeah, but then it wouldn't be a D1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Paper Lanterns also has a D power chord on the verse. Not sure if they went to drop D or just downtuned a full step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond of December Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Why did they used the line "Video games to the towers fall" instead of "From Mexico to the Berlin Wall" in the offical publiced edition of 21st cetury breakdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 well, thx anyway, im just a fan who just found this site. Gonna see Green Day live this Saturday, so excited! Don't mind him . It is true that we don't know, they've never spoken about the demo version so all we know is they must've preferred those lyrics for whatever reason. And how awesome! There's actually a thread for discussing the show with others who are going in the tour section, you might want to check it out: http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/94712-20140301-adelaide-bonython-park-soundwave/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome! Honestly I think they just change their minds with lyrics quite a lot. There's loads of differences just in that song and there were loads of differences between early live versions of Uno Dos and Tre songs and the album versions, most likely the answer would just be "We liked that lyric more" . You could try submitting it as a question if there's ever a Q&A with the band going on somewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also matches the first line"Bron into Nixon", it was exactly during the cold war.... forgive me, im acting like an weirdo.... but well, maybe I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky it came out so we can listen to it instead of the album one if we want Glad it's not just me! The lyrics are miles better, and I love the roughness of the tempo changes. It's clearly not played to a click track or anything silly like that Just a shame the production is obviously demo quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wasn't sure where to put this so I'll put it here In my music lesson we have to do presentations with examples of different like electronic ways of changing the sounds of instruments, and I've been given the wah-wah pedal and the chorus pedal. We have to include examples, and it would be great if I could include some green day songs, especially seeing as none of my class really know their music The only thing I literally have no clue as to how to recognise when these are being used, I don't really know what they are (I kinda know what a wah-wah pedal sounds like but I couldn't recognise it amongst other instruments and sounds :/) So yeah, this may be a really stupid question i dunno if it's the kind of thing they would use but if any of you could tell me if any green day songs have a wah-wah pedal or a chorus pedal (and when they are used in the song) that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it might even be a phaser on the studio version, but it's definitely a wah live. As for chorus, I'm not sure, but there might be one on the guitar in Redundant.
