Hermione Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I must showcase how dumb I actually am ha. Thanx so much! Anyway, what is Waba Sé Wasca? Just asking as the vinyl edition(s) of 39/Smooth has 'At the Library' re-titled as 'At the Library with Waba Sé Wasca'.Here's the answer that I posted in the thread about the vinyl: Just searched GDC to find the answer and I see Billie gave us one back when he used to tweet facts about songs. In 2011 he tweeted: John used to name some of our songs. Like 409 in your coffee maker. Some girl in a library would always say "wabba se waska" at him. Hence So that's why it's in the song title, don't know what the phrase actually means (if anything) though. 2 Quote

Just asking as the vinyl edition(s) of 39/Smooth has 'At the Library' re-titled as 'At the Library with Waba Sé Wasca'. It's not re-titled on the vinyl, that's the original title. It's retitled on the CD 1 Quote

Popular Post Spike Posted January 31, 2015 Popular Post Posted January 31, 2015 *raises hand* I have a question! Why does Tre only wear a headset when performing BOBD live? They have the tremolo guitar part on a backing track so he needs a click track to stay perfectly in time with it. 6 Quote
Certified Nimrod Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 They have the tremolo guitar part on a backing track so he needs a click track to stay perfectly in time with it. Why don't they just play that guitar part? Quote
Spike Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Why don't they just play that guitar part? A couple of reasons. They don't have enough guitarists, for a start Plus the part is so heavily processed it'd never sound as good as it does on the album. They've dropped it entirely in recent times, like the AAF version, and it sounds really crappy and weak without it in my opinion. 1 Quote

I just listened to the AAF version and I don't notice anything missing. Maybe I don't know what tremolo guitar is. Quote
Spike Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I just listened to the AAF version and I don't notice anything missing. Maybe I don't know what tremolo guitar is. The choppy guitar part from the intro that runs all the way through all the verses on the studio version. 3 Quote
WhiteTim Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I just listened to the AAF version and I don't notice anything missing. Maybe I don't know what tremolo guitar is. Tremolo is the effect Listen to BOBD from say Reading 2013 to AAF or AI you can hear the difference Quote

Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Is true that Jason White's second child is a girl named Shelby and was born in May 2014? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_White_%28musician%29#Personal_life Quote

unextraordinarygirl Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 The choppy guitar part from the intro that runs all the way through all the verses on the studio version. oh thanks, I always wondered what that was and how they did that sound at the beginning of BOBD. I was gonna ask but now I don't need to. Quote
Spike Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 oh thanks, I always wondered what that was and how they did that sound at the beginning of BOBD. I was gonna ask but now I don't need to. On the studio version they put the volume fades in manually. So Billie just strummed the chords then the volume is automated to go up and down rapidly, which is how you get the effect. There are pedals to do it automatically for live performance but playing in time can be a challenge, and it just sounds better to draw the volume fades in manually. Plus the tremolo part on BOBD is multitracked so it sounds a lot thicker. I imagine if they did it with one guitar and a pedal live it'd sound really weak. 2 Quote

My dad actually designed and made an amplifier based around that tremalo sound, it's not quite the same but it's still pretty damn good. 1 Quote

I want one. I tried using the Guitar Rig BOBD preset when I covered it with Alyssa recently but it was shite so I ended up tracking six guitars and drawing the fades in manually. Turned out pretty ace in the end, I think. 2 Quote

I remember it being mentioned that Janna had had a baby but I don't recall hearing what it was (obviously now I know it was a girl and her name) but no pictures have been posted here. Because of privacy? Maybe. Quote

Now i know that they have 2 children Quote
Pat1308 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 All these bands are connected, that's what I love about East Bay punk. so really Fifteen's music isn't too far off from Green Day's. Jeff Ott formed Fifteen after leaving Crimpshrine, which was founded by Aaron Cometbus, who is Pinhead Gunpowder's drummer, and was Green Day's roadie on their early North American tours. Wasn't Mike/Sarah Kirsch (Pinhead Gunpowder) also singing in C#tion at least? Quote
Todd Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Wasn't Mike/Sarah Kirsch (Pinhead Gunpowder) also singing in C#tion at least? Jeff Ott does lead vocals, and Tommy Moreno does backing vocals. She did second guitar on their first 7 inch, but not C#tion as far as I know 1 Quote
