Anybody on Friday’s time zone see a new Fidlar collab for Fuck Off on Saviors Deluxe?

Not sure how to feel about this mix honestly. The dryer vocals are nice, but they have some mid-high frequency boost that is personally irritating to my ears. It's kind of similar to the vocal mastering done on the C&V songs, but way too intense in my opinion. The guitar "solo" is interesting, but I can see why it was cut...  as it doesn't sound satisfying or needed. The different amp feedback is better and the drop of the instruments at the end of the first verse is cool, but those are pretty much the only things that I prefer over the normal mix, but the normal mix isn't anything special.

I'm more annoyed that this was put onto the deluxe album and not a single release.

Edit: Sounds much better with headphones

What is this now?

Most sounds on saviors bonus tracks has that mid-high boost frequency. And i thought it was just my earphones. Like this is worst than smashing pumpkins zeitgeist.

 

Yeah as a person who got high hearing sensitivity , this is worst. If those saviors five new songs are a standalone EP , i'll be the one to say "Cool songs but poor sounds".

I like the Fidlar mix of FO better, it’s got that harder edgier sound I thought the original lacked. Good video too

Yes that's exactly it, the mix matches the song way better

Always wonder what a radio edit would sound like

That's very interesting. When Bobby Sox was released, someone brought up that it sounds very similar to the song "centipede" by FIDLAR, which must have been recorded at a similar time. And now this same band remixes a Green Day song 😅

F-woo off

Not the cross-over I expected, but very happy it happened. It's so good.

I'm pleasantly surprised. "Fuck Off" had been one of the weaker tracks from the Deluxe Edition for me, it felt too restrained for the message it was trying to convey. But this version is definitely an improvement, as it makes it fittingly more aggressive. I really dig it!

[Montclare]

I like this one better too. The original sounded thin, this fills the sound in better.

[Hermione]

I love this! FIDLAR style works perfectly for it

What if they just keep adding to Saviors for a ridiculous amount of time? Lol.   Super Duper Edition De Luxe!  How many versions can we get?

no matter how many versions they make, Fever will never be on any of them

[That Dude]

What is the difference between the two versions?  I hear none.  

[Clockwise]

This is the superior version imo. I'd love Zac to work his magic on a new Green Day EP or the next album, that could be really cool.

Absolutely agree.

I actually like this better than the original . The effects are cool, they do make me dizzy tho haha. If you stare at those hands long enough it just looks like there is something stuck between the fingers lmao

I like the feedback and the rawness, less polished in a good way. Need to listen not just out of my phone though and come back.
I wonder what there connection to FIDLAR is? I suspect a photographer/videographer, I thought I saw something on insta like that.

Alice Baxley’s brother is a band member. I think he’s the one that did the mix.  

IIRC, I think FIDLAR were also connected to SWMRS and the Armstrongs through the insular California punk community. They may have collaborated at one time or shared a producer but certainly were friends too until the whole Lydia thing when I think they had a falling out (This was after SWMRS were found to be pointing the finger at other bands acting all pure and noble just before they were accused themselves). Anyway, I also want to say there was another personal connection in the band between a member of FIDLAR overcoming addiction and Billie Joe being a great source of help and support.
