Q-Man Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I've loved Body Bag since we first heard it years ago. I don't understand the hate it gets, I feel like everyone is saying they don't like it but not really giving any reasons why so I'm just curious can someone explain exactly what they dislike about it?

Squashie Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I’m not a fan of the album version of body bag because of the vocals. Same reason I’m not fond of Razor Baby. I do like body bag when played live because it’s Billies natural voice and I can actually understand what’s being sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it too, always have. I love the dreamy, psychedelic quality of the melody and the arrangement. I love the dark funny idea of comparing your life to a kind of death. I love the drums, the trippy guitar, it all comes together so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I don't like it because it's boring, the vocals are weird, the lyrics don't do anything for me and it's just incredibly mediocre compared to pretty much everything Green Day or Billie has done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got bored of that very quickly. I wanted Body Bag to be the closer to RevRad instead but I guess it didn’t fit with the sincerity of that album.

Same for Razor Baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
龑美優 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Body Bag has such a different and pleasant vibe to it. Like the rest of the album, I quite love the way it sounds. It certainly doesn't ruin the flow of the album for me. I haven't listened to LIFL in almost a week, I've been pretty occupied with other new music that has come out recently. I'm definitely going to listen to it today, it just feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The vocals are dreamy/spacy - it fits perfectly with the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyChunks Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Is Body Bag really getting dislike on here? It's a fantastic song.. -amazing guitarwork throughout- one thing I don't know and should- is that BJA playing the solo during the studio version? I honestly don't know -I hear Lennon-esque qualities and influence throughout- maybe it's just me. Or the lyrics which seem kind of Sgt. Pepper...maybe I'm just reaching too deep and trying to overanalyze, but that's what I get out of this - live- oh my goodness, it was a standout the night I saw them, just a perfect live song - if we want to compare it to the Green Day catalogue, the change of pace is one of the more interesting approaches we've heard in quite awhile...nothing quite like it since possibly Redundant, heavy and slow at the same time -it fits the album perfectly, it's not a reach or an outlier at all -I'm also really glad and admire Billie for not forcing this into a GD album. As much as I love the song, he's been holding onto this for a while and thought it didn't fit onto RR and didn't want to hold onto it for the next one either. But he still felt it was a great song and put it out there for us. So consider us lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaslight13 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I didn’t like Body Bag at all at first but it grew on me a lot hearing it live. I still skip it frequently because I’m often not in the right mood for it, but I greatly appreciate it now from an artistic standpoint. It stands out as being very different from just about everything else he’s done and yet still fits the record surprisingly well. 5 hours ago, SHART said: The vocals are dreamy/spacy - it fits perfectly with the lyrics. ^^I completely agree. It fits with the lifelessness of the character in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 That's cool. But I want a CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatsername Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Haven't been on here for a while, but I'm still listening to this album a lot and I seem to love it more and more every day. I want to see them live so bad that I dreamed about buying tickets for shows here in Europe more than once, I'm a mess But I guess David's recent post ("drive, fly, walk, run, just don't miss these 2 shows") means that there will definitely be no touring outside of the US. Looking forward to the Vinyl release though, release date in Germany is July 20th, yay! I would have preferred a CD too, but I was expecting to get no physical copy at all, so that's great.

I've fucked myself up by renewing my passport just in case of needing ID for a Longshot show lol, even though I knew it's not likely it still felt like I was preparing for one. But I mean FBHT said "What's next? I've got you on my mind England" but then scrapped coming here and said nothing else about it, and then turned up here 18 months and a Green Day album later. So anything is possible. They could still do more this summer if they felt like it or do a tour/random shows another time. I don't want to give up hope yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashie Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I wondered if he was since Bill, Hans and Joey posted stuff from Cannes. I wonder what's going on. It looked like Joey's story yesterday and Hans's video is a stage/set thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not to jump the gun or anything but just in case, how were tickets for the US tour sold? I never paid enough attention, was the sale always announced in advance so you could be ready for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
