Bastard of 1969 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Well, we are here on tunings, so, instead of standard, half-step down and drop D,are there any more tunings Green Day plays in? Quote

Guest Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Well, we are here on tunings, so, instead of standard, half-step down and drop D,are there any more tunings Green Day plays in? Some songs on 1,039/etc. are tuned two steps down. Paper Lanterns is one I think. Quote

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Isn't Restless Heart Syndrome in D tuning too? Quote
mrduckygoosy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Some songs on 1,039/etc. are tuned two steps down. Paper Lanterns is one I think. Actually some songs on 1,039/etc (Dry Ice, Disappearing Boy, Going to Pasalacqua,...) are almost 1/2 step down, it's actually "1/4" step down, I read somewhere it was because the band didn't have guitar tuner, they tuned their instruments listening to each other How the heck is "Whatsername" played in Drop D? Every guitar part that I play on that is standard tuning. So Billie Joe can play the D chord one octave below, just like he would do with an E chord in standard tuning Quote

mrduckygoosy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) 1/4 step tuning is used by AC/DC also... I didn't know about that, and didn't say otherwise but I just explained why Green Day used that tuning Edited January 2, 2015 by mrduckygoosy Quote
Bastard of 1969 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I didn't about that, and didn't say otherwise but I just explained why Green Day used that tuning I know, I was just saying a fun fact nobody cares about. Isn't Restless Heart Syndrome in D tuning too? Standard, or even half-step down. 2 Quote
mrduckygoosy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Isn't Restless Heart Syndrome in D tuning too? Pretty sure it is standard tuning, but 1/2 step down would have maybe helped Billie Joe to reach the highest notes more easily 1 Quote
Jon Benjamin Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 What the hell does it say under Whatsername? Quote
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 What the hell does it say under Whatsername? Well, his statement when the song Amanda came out is that he finally "named" Whatsername, but I don't know if that necessarily looks like "Amanda" under the tape, and I doubt Amanda is actually her name — I think the song was just yet another song about her, with a symbolic name included. But it's possible that's what it says. Either way, I absolutely adore the American Idiot lyric booklet. His handwriting and the subtle hints of the storyline later included in the musical are wonderful! Quote
Todd Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 What the hell does it say under Whatsername? For those of us that have the physical copy of this- it's a lot easier to see what's underneath _SERNA The S is behind the A in Whatsername. It probably says part of "Whatsername", but was covered up and re-written just for the look of it. 4 Quote
HARVESTER Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 What the hell does it say under Whatsername? It looks like the name of the person it is actually about but they covered it up with something different. Quote
Guest Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like the name of the person it is actually about but they covered it up with something different. Nah, doesn't look anything like "Queen Latifah" to me. Quote
sara_gd Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 They have a 21st Century Breakdown Tour Program up on GD.com, does anybody know what's in it? http://greenday.shop.bravadousa.com/Dept.aspx?cp=16464_39261&sort&page=0 1 Quote
Katarina. Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 They have a 21st Century Breakdown Tour Program up on GD.com, does anybody know what's in it? http://greenday.shop.bravadousa.com/Dept.aspx?cp=16464_39261&sort&page=0 That looks like the tour program I bought at a Green Day show in 2009 It's a simple book with pictures on each page, sometimes with a quote on it. On that picture on the website the top picture is the front of the book, and the bottom two pics are two examples of what you'll find inside. 1 Quote

Liam Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 How many performances are there with Billie playing guitar on St Jimmy live? I don't believe he's ever played guitar on it. It's also been Jason White and Mike Pelino/Jeff Matika. Quote
