Gwen Stacy Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I. Fucking. Love. It! Of course now I want the entire trilogy remixed like this haha
Jonas01 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 And is it just me who thinks that the art single for the songs is absolutely awful???? Just now, Gwen Stacy said: I. Fucking. Love. It! Of course now I want the entire trilogy remixed like this haha The only difference is a BIT more heavier guitars and the vocals are changed a bit. But what's the point of the song? wHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS RELEASE

Trilogy songs live have driven audiences mad during the past tour. In 2017 we are probably many to miss these songs, which Billie said they were the best he had written at that time. The fact that they quite haven't been played since does not mean the band thought the trilogy was bad, Billie said it as well earlier during the current tour (besides, pretty much the same happened to 21st Century Breakdown : no song survived the dedicated tour as a "classic" except for Know Your Enemy ; well, hell of an album and hell of a tour as well). I assume that a remix now of Fell For You is not a way to say to some presumed majority of fans : "sorry, initial mix sucked, we're gonna make it all over again!", rather a way to address a thought to all lovers of their non-or-very-little-played-live songs, and to say all the good the band thinks of the trilogy, that it deserves such refining.
DeJennsitized Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I think it's great??? The guitars sound so much better than they do in the original. Not sure about Billie's echo-y vocals but still, I really really like it. Does there have to be a point?? Remixes happen all the time. My favourite bit is the two guitar riffs harmonising with each other. Beautiful.
pacejunkie punk Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah I really do think this was somethig he was just fooling around with and wanted to share. No need to overthink it or attach too much importance.

I didn't see the point of that release either. Musically, Demolicious isn't very different, I agree. However, to me it's a quite different atmosphere from the trilogy. It's darker and more nervous, Billie's voice is different, all this varying dependently of the songs. I would say the melody is the same but the sound is not. Listening to any of the trilogy or to Demolicious doesn't require or bring the same mood in to me. I think (it's my personal feeling) it might have been difficult to sing and play live several of these songs recorded that way - like Lazy Bones that hasn't been played for that reason pretty obviously, and State of Shock that hasn't been released. Well, I'm crazy of these two songs, though I totally see the point of the trilogy the way it is, many songs with the same hard lyrics but not too dark melodies, more like sunny rainy if you see what I mean. (There, I said it )

nopride84 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 It sounds like they rerecorded some of the instrumentation and used the same vocal tracks.that may be why remix is in qoutes and it's called the Otis mix because what's it matter where it's mixed if it's in a computer
SamJam98 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I didn't really have any issues with the trilogy in the first place (I actually quite liked it), but this definitely sounds better, and I think it's great! It just sounds more.. complete. Anyway, whatever the reason for them releasing it, it's exciting
strangestat Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I have no idea when this was actually remixed, but what if billie was just fucking bored at home and he just went to otis and messed around before he discovered instagram live... XD
Liam Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I wonder if this is from 4 years ago when Billie posted on Instagram about rerecording louder guitars? http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/4044/

He's proud of his baby. Maybe the "point" of the remix is promoting Otis.
Second favourite son Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I think I prefer this mix. Looking forward to listening to the two side-by-side a bit more so I can make a full judgement, but I definitely like it.
Chin for a Day Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I haven't heard it yet, I will hear it tomorrow. But Fell For You is by far my favorite song off the Trilogy. I'm glad he chose it and can't wait to hear it.
walking_c0ntradicti0n Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I like the low guitar riff thingy they added
The Bellie Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 37 minutes ago, pacejunkie punk said: Do you mean sunny rainy or more like rainy sunny? Yeah, I wanted to remind myself of how Billie says it in "Ordinary World" movie, I think it's like I said - sunny rainy - but I'm not sure And if I follow the commentary Billies has made on the trilogy when it was on the release, Uno is being ready for the party, Dos is the crazy party and Tre is after, like "Oh, shit". So to be logical it would be sunny rainy, yeah Little off topic but as we're on this : Spoiler I feel that the "sunny" part or what I describe as such in the trilogy is also the energetic, angry part, the part where you end up rushing without thinking, and in the moment you can acknowledge the pain but you don't stop. This culminates in Dos. And in Tre is the part where you start to slow down, reflect, think of the past, try to take the pain and get on with emotions instead of getting over them in order to unceasingly keep moving. This would be the "rainy" part which comes after in a logical way, because the desire to live first pushes you to want a party and to get ready for it (Uno) and then to throw your entire weight in it (Dos), so that you realize how much you had the need of it. Only after, the excitement and euphoria fall back. It's the hard moment, the rain, but it's necessary to take a break and get somehow lost with your emotions. The sunny moment restarts a moment after and it's always in a enlightened / renewed way. Not necessarily being a crazy party! My life is like that, now I can see it very clearly, perhaps even more than before. I've been always told it's a weird and wrong way to behave. Without people using these exact words - sunny rainy - the first time I saw Ordinary World it went directly to heart. And if I'm convinced of one thing now it's that I like being this way, because it's the way I am, everything good and bad in me comes along with that.
SuperXCsabre495 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 So from what I can tell by placing both songs on top of each other, they are the same vocal tracks. The new version is slightly louder than the original but the definitely did re-record the instruments. They both sound similar but the instrument work on the new version is better imo.

I just think that it isn't that a good song.. Clearly you are in the minority, no matter how many posts you make saying the same thing 😏
