Akshat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Says the same guy who gave a nod to the Trilogy. However, I believe these demos exist. The Trilogy wasn't that bad *waiting for Trilogy haters to attack in 3 2 1...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen Stacy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Rob Cavallo also said of the trilogy that there wasn't a stinker in the bunch. While I have faith in Billie's songwriting prowess, I'm beginning to question Cavallo's judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Trilogy wasn't that bad *waiting for Trilogy haters to attack in 3 2 1...* I agree. On the other hand, Cavallo could've done his job much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I agree. On the other hand, Cavallo could've done his job much better. Yup. The production was the biggest issue with the trilogy. Other issues were minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nothing against Cavallo. This literally happens every time a new artist releases music ever. Take it with a grain of salt, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yup. The production was the biggest issue with the trilogy. Other issues were minor. The other issues weren't minor, though. The lyrics were weak compared to anything else they've done before and the music doesn't sound very complex, either. It would be difficult to change that with production - it's very simple. Almost too simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Nothing Green Day has ever done sounded complex, but yeah the lyrics are also an issue that needs to be addressed. I think there are a lot of gems in there though. With Billie facing his demons in the time since the trilogy, I feel like we're going to get a lot more quality control.

The Disappearing Boy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'll take Rob's comments with a pinch of salt. He's not gonna say anything else is he? Also, he's probably looking to work with them if/when they next record, so he's not gonna badmouth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iva Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is awesome, can't wait to read. Just got my hands on digital and I wish I did earlier, so stuart_and_the_ave wouldn't have had to scan. Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_19 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Cool quote, encouraging, excited to see how things progress and unfold in terms of the new album Granted, everyone says "ohh theyre at their best" whenever an artist is working on new material, but I'd rather him say this than "oh it's good" or not say anything, roll on the future months!

captain peroxide Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Rob Cavallo also said of the trilogy that there wasn't a stinker in the bunch. If Cavallo actually said that, my hype levels for the new music have just plummeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I have faith in Billie's songwriting prowess, I'm beginning to question Cavallo's judgement. Granted, Demolicious is pretty fucking good. The biggest problem with the trilogy is its production. Raw, it's very enjoyable, even if the lyrics are a little off. The fun music makes up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah, I agree. Not EVERY trilogy song is amazing, and State of Shock sucks, but the trilogy songs as a whole, IMO, wouldn't have been bad if they would've cut down the amount and made the trilogy a double album with a raw sound. Actually, those songs would've been fucking great and probably well-received. What happened to you over 4 days in cleveland I know, I was listening to Shenanigans today and I was like "OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!" and then I realized I've got "it" bad right now.

A double album as raw as Demolicious with the best cuts from the Trilogy? Pure gold. Also, Shenanigans is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenanigans was actually the third Green Day album I ever heard. First was American Idiot, second was Warning. My parents bought me American Idiot after months of me throwing a fit and begging for it, and the other two I ripped from the library. I used to listen to it all the time and I never realized it was a b-sides-ish compilation until much, much later. You can't really tell, tbh. A lot of the songs are really good.

Beerjeezus Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Who would badmouth his own work? "The band wrote mediocre material, I fucked up the production, the promotion failed to promote anything so I ended up with a garage full of unsold records and then the lead singer went to rehab and we were screwed" - said no one in music industry ever it doesn't mean they are not aware of their mistakes and won't learn from them.

21guns&novacaine Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is cool, but like previous comments, I question Rob's judgment. whatever Green Day puts out, rather it's another chart-breaking American Idiot or an album of lullabies with Green Day lyrics, I'll probably still buy it and still listen to it.
