I'm not sure when the following songs were recorded:

- I Fought the Law (American Idiot Sessions?)

- Poprocks and Coke (Warning Sessions?)

- Ha Ha You're Dead (Warning Sessions?)

I Fought The Law was released in February 2004 for a Super Bowl Pepsi Ad campaign. Pretty safe to assume it was recorded when they were in the studio for American Idiot.

Poprocks & Coke and Maria from ISH were recorded AFTER the Warning sessions solely for ISH. The original version of Maria (From the Waiting 7") was recorded along with Ha Ha, You're Dead by Chris Dugan at Catbox Studios, which is where Outsider and Scumbag were recorded, but those were recorded by Willie Samuels. Green Day probably recorded the Warning b-sides at the Catbox because it was cheaper than using the big studio.


I may be wrong, but I believe Catbox Studios was the name for Billie's home studio at the time, because that's also where Billie's friends' bands recorded between 97 and 2001, including Pinhead Gunpowder, Pansy Division, Jesse Michaels' band Common Rider and Jesse Luscious' band The Criminals

I was going to say Billie posted a few album covers said that these albums were produced by him and recorded at his home when I looked up one of the albums on discog it said recorded at Catbox

Andres is right about I fought the law. I remember this cover was released on January-February 2004, I'm pretty sure about it. Todd was right too about the period when PR&C and Maria (ISH version) were recorded. The rest didn't know it :)

Probably not since it was only a digital download. There is a promo CD, but it doesn't give any info
