Popular Post MattRTGB Posted March 18 Popular Post Share Posted March 18 some backstory: Jean Repetto (from what I've gathered, now known as Jeana Repetto) was fifteen (https://www.discogs.com/artist/689398-Fifteen) drummer in 1989 and later, guitarist during their reunion in 1997 (She appears on Lucky https://www.discogs.com/master/413748-Fifteen-Lucky). I'm pretty sure that she lived/lives in the bay area and did some classical/jazz stuff too in the early 2000s. And she was also from East Bay Mud (https://www.discogs.com/artist/414855-East-Bay-Mud) Back to the song... I really never heard this version and the title says "portastudio 424",a 4-track recorder, perhaps the same billie used for the demos? Please help me! And let me know if I found something new, maybe? Thanks Also I've never seen neither this photo nor billie with a brush cut lol 9 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miko Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Really makes you wonder how did it took them almost 20 years to finally record and release the damn song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk about Good Riddance waiting around for the right release but this song has to win the award for the longest wait and most number of false starts - 1992-2010 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down to number 21 on the list to listen to When It's Time live 1992. https://greenday.fm/audio/live-before-release/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that it was recorded several times but as production goes on it always end up back in pool. It was demoed in Dookie days. Cavallo liked it but it didn't have a space into the record. Tried again in Nimrod, they went for Good Riddance, probably they tried it for Warning but they chose Macy's Day Parade. The song easily have like 5 versions floating around in their archives. Probably it happened to a lot of songs. Is not easy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDayJunkie86 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Scratch that @MattRTGB, I found it! Scroll down until you see ‘When It’s Time’ Demo (1992?). I knew it was some time 1992 😄. https://greenday.fm/audio/demos/ Info: This previously unknown acoustic demo was surfaced by Jean Repetto in 2024 and likely dates back to 1992 when Billie Joe would frequently record demos on a 4-track. You can hit the cloud button with an arrow next to the song to download it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
