Aron4000 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hey, anyone know if Mike does any backing vocals on RevRad? I know that Billie does it on Still Breathing, the other ones I cannot be sure because it is hard to isolate backing vocals without multitracks. I know Mike is credited for backing vocals on the record, but I don't really hear him. Can anyone provide evidence from an interview or article or something? Btw many think that Mike is doing backing vocals on Bang Bang, but I am pretty sure he isn't. Here is a snippet from Inside the Mix with Andrew Scheps (bang bang vocals isolated), to me it sounds like Billie: Thanks, and sorry if this was asked before. Edit: Separted Left and Right tracks to isolate individual vocal tracks Who do you think are these voices? @Beerjeezus @Christian's Inferno! @Little Boy Named Airplane @Asik @pacejunkie punk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Karlson Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think someone other than BJ sings background vocals on "Too Dumb to Die" - at least during the solo it's not BJ, I think. And on "Forever Now" (1st part) there might be background vocals from someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron4000 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yes, might be, I found that Mike could be doing vocals on the end of Forever Now (somewhere now) and maybe on Bouncing Off The Walls, other than that, I am not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Mike's backing vocals need to come back. And be audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 With backing vocals, I can never tell who's doing it. I loved the backing vocals throughout 21CB (the album), can anyone confirm whether those were Billie or Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron4000 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 I am certain that it is Mike throughout the whole album except East Jesus Nowhere. Also, there are parts where they both do it at the same time, for example in Know Your Enemy or 21 Guns. You can watch videos on YT to listen to lead vocals removed if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard that song in a while but I recall it sounding like Billie was singing that. He also sings it when they perform it live I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
