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. They have new instruments but I think they kept the original track for the main guitar riff and I'm still kinda hearing clean guitar throughout so basically they added a distortion track on top of it
greendepent Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Sounds bad. Seems like they covered their own song and added a new guitar track over the original. Some reverb on the voices and some other more in the snare. I get the idea, but looks is not worthy. At least, with this level of production.
The Great Saiyaman Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 It's pretty cool. A bit random to do Fell For You of all songs, but I like it.
JardyOfSuburbia Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 It's up on US iTunes store. Just listened to it and I love it. Not entirely different, but I love it.
thundercatmary Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Just got it on iTunes, I do like it better when listening to both versions back to back, it seems more complete or something not sure how to articulate it lol.
unextraordinarygirl Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I just heard it on Spotify. It sounds pretty good. I was surprised because I listened to the album version first and I have to admit this isn't my favorite song, but it did sound a little better.
SuperXCsabre495 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I feel like they'll do more, just to do one and a random deep cut from the trilogy seems so random to be a one-off.
Hermione Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Well isn't this a nice surprise! The guitar sounds cool. As one of the few who likes the trilogy's production I prefer the original as I like the clearer vocals on it but it's always interesting to hear another version and great to see the trilogy and one of my favourite songs on it get some love . Hope there'll be more.
DookieLukie Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 If this was just a Youtube release, I wouldn't think anything of it. But the fact that it's on iTunes for sale makes me think something bigger is going on.
Q-Man Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I really like it! Especially the guitar in the beginning. So glad this song is getting some love, it's always been one of my favorites from the trilogy. I get the feeling that this was just Billie messing around and deciding to let us hear something new. But I would love if they decided to do this with their favorite songs from the trilogy and turn it into a new compilation album.

Ham Pascale Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Wow, the new version of Fell For You sounds a lot beefier, and not to mention great. This is pretty much the sound I wished they went for on the Trilogy.
ollhjr Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 With this talk about this being more than a one off thing, I keep going back to that picture of Billie in a studio in Australia. Did we ever get any details about what he was recording there? The same goes when they were all in the studio practicing and recording in the studio tracks from Dookie before they played at Reading four years ago. Open the vault!!

Otis wouldn't have been around back then? Also he was definitely in Otis recently too, he posted an Instagram live story from there so it could have been done then.
Thatsername Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 That was a nice surprise! I kind of expected it to be more different from the Uno version, but I still like it. And I love the idea that they were in the studio recording something, who knows what else they did there Can't wait for a Brutal Love remix, this song needs some love.
DeJennsitized Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe they figured some Trilogy songs were too good to leave in the Trilogy era and so decided to promo a few of them with remixes? Like when they Dookified WTP and 409.
Grunt Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I love that Billie's showing love for a trilogy song and hoping that this will lead to the band playing songs from those albums in the near future!

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Just now, Hermione said: I'd listen to it. But kind of seems like overkill when they already released Demolicious. This. It's fine if they do a couple songs but another album of Trilogy songs would be too much.
drummerman Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Deeper thicker drums from floor toms to snare, crunchier more overdriven guitars with a nice new little riff in the chorus (''as I fell for you...''). Dunno if it's my imagination or the vocals are clearer too... THIS is how the trilogy should have sounded like!
Ross_19 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe they'll do it with more trilogy songs? That would be great this FFY mix definitely sounds better than the original H

Maybe they started it ages ago with recording some new bits, but only got around to finishing the mixes very recently in Otis? Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if we got something more as releasing one remix of a single song on all platforms just seems a little unusual. Not that I'm complaining!
solongfromthestars Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I woke up to all these posts on Facebook about how it's exactly the same and people don't want to buy it, so I expected a huge disappointment but I really like it! I don't think it's exactly the same at all. For me the changes better portray the feeling in the lyrics, of falling for someone you shouldn't and feeling half-embarrassed but really admitting you've completely given in to it. Always thought this was one of Billie's best love songs and now I like it even more Also if they played it live I would lose my voice and die
