Hermione Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 31 minutes ago, DookieLukie said: Transistors Gone Wild is Fink, no? You're right it is mainly Fink except for Van Gough doing the "My brain is melting and it smells like a volcano" in the chorus and probably some backing vocals. Hard to say whether some of the songs are more a Fink song with extra Van Gough vocals (or vice versa, Reto is mostly Van Gough with Fink doing a line in the chorus for example) or a true duet. More of a mixture on MM2020 whereas it seems to usually be just one singer per song on the new album. I wonder if they recorded separately sometimes due to covid? Could be a factor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that line is actually Billie just singing deeper like he does in CUNT. That's what it has always sounded like to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie, get your gun Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 10 hours ago, That Dude said: Has anyone ever heard The Network on the radio? I know I haven't. Without being an International Superfan, I don't think I would have even stumbled upon them in any way. Ever. Have they charted at all? I don't know. But in the GD radio they used to play Foxboro Hot Tubs. It was a surprise that they knew who they were. I said it because I already read people mentioning Longshot and Billie's covers on the radio so it doesn't sound unlikely to hear them over there (US, Europe etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivankkka too but it was for the trump affiliation and that's all ps: some of my friends who don't care about /like GD are actually liking this album by the way I just want to know what DJ had the balls to put Ivankkka on the radio. That person is my new hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops! I'm not sure why I mentioned Kevin. I know he's not in The Network. I think it's because someone else mentioned him and I was on autopilot. I'm also sick so my brain isn't working well right now. 😅 Post has been corrected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reto Peter is the guy's real name, he's an engineer who's worked with Green Day. His Network name is Captain Underpants, the one who plays the keytar. Kevin isn't in The Network. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it has always sounded like to me. You know, I always thought it was Mike singing Transistors Gone Wild (minus "give me murder give me lust" etc. lines); especially the "my brain is melting and it smells like a volcano" line, but listening to it now, I do hear Billie. The rest of it sounds like Billie and Mike singing a duet, but Billie's vocals stand out. Before I saw this, I came here to say that I think my favorite line from Threat Level Midnight is "We kneel and pray to a god that doesn't exist." It's just a really great line and really resonates with me for some reason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakabanas Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The Network can stay until the end of the Rat's year - February 12th, its somewhat reasonable, if until then Green Day will remain completely silent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grene cniht Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 As per usual I'm late to the party but wow what a listening experience! This album is just perfect I love all of them so much. I enjoyed all the songs but I have to say that those sung by Van Gough have something special in them. Not only are they the most Network-y, but they hit me on a deep emotional level, I don't really know how to explain this. It's not even something personal nor is it connected with the lyrics, it's more of a feeling of staring at the whole world from atop a mountain and being at peace with it. My personal favorite on the entire album is Digital Black (followed closely by JFPP). I think I found something interesting searching for lyrics on Genius, I don't think that has been brought up yet. On That's How They Get You, apart from the title, what Snoo (?) is saying could be "Verrückter Dummkopf", which in German means "a very stupid and crazy person". I think it makes a lot of sense, the lyric being in German (The Network is obviously a German band) and the theme of Snoo's songs being conspiracists and people who are easily fooled. The pronunciation is bad though, it sounds like how an American would say it. Strange 🤔 @Hermione I read you were wondering about how many times Fink says "amyl" and "nitrate" in Popper Punk. I like to do these sorts of things so here you go: "Amyl": 52 times; "Nitrate": 46 times; "Wohohoho" 😂: 18 times. (All including back vocals too). Also I totally think the little strumming at the beginning of Hey Elon is a reference to Good Riddance and I love it. Or I just like to think so because it's just perfect ♥️ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
