Surprise Bowie cover dropping Friday?

[pacejunkie punk]

What does any of this have to do with Billie and Jakob being commissioned to record a David Bowie cover? Let’s remember the thread topic

It’s ok to love Green Day and call out Joey a 22 year old adult for even thinking let alone wanting anything to do with a 16 year old child…if that was someone’s daughter or sister on here I wonder if they’d stick up for Joey?….great cover still not sure who sings what wish the vocals were louder. 7/10. Like a Rolling Stone is the best GD cover of all time that never gets talked about I also love Billie’s cover of Nirvana’s Drain you wish that was recorded 

Literally no one is sticking up for Joey. Bringing up the scandal in a thread about a cover he did with his OTHER son is extremely distasteful.

Calling Bowie creep who sleeps with minors, based on mysoginistic rumors about Lori Maddox, despite other instances and behaviors proving otherwise is extremly distasteful.

Comparing a grown man sleeping with teenage groupies, to a 22yo kid being in a relationship with a 17yo younger kid is extremely distasteful.

Those are the only things I’m saying. Never did I stick up for Joey, I believe his victim and I believe he was abusive, based on her stories. But that is not due to his age, but his behavior towards her. I will no elaborate on it any further, just wanted to clear it up that I’m no supporting an abuser. Thanks.

So how do we feel about Billie Joe writing C.U.N.T. about his son’s accuser then?

We feel like it has nothing to do with the subject at hand

Here's some interesting articles from music press:

He is not, sadly. Would've loved to see a post from him about this cover with Jakob.

So one of those articles says Billie is not the lead vocalist on this?!?! Now I’m confused as to who sings lead??? Also people assume that song C..T is about her but there isn’t proof

Pretty surprising to see something like this drop.

What?  I didn't even know Jakob was singing on it. But my brother and dad sound exactly the same when they sing even though they don't when they talk so that could be the case here

It's a cool cover, a big song to tackle but they pull it off well!

I really like Billie’s vocal delivery in this. Very classy and tender. Would be interested in this with Saviors vocal production instead of this “he’s far away” sound.

Yes that is a good description of the vocals here, sounds very different

[Gwen Stacy]

It sounds to me like Jakob sings lead for roughly the first half and Billie takes over after that and Jakob switches to harmony vocal. I’d need to listen carefully again to pinpoint that but I’m fairly sure of it. 
 

Edit: pretty sure Billie takes over at 3:15 with the line “I, I will be king”.

[With a Peculiar Name]

I think Billie starts the song, then Jakob starts singing at the line “And  you, you can be mean.” Then they switch back and forth a couple of times. 

[Lenie.]

I'm pretty sure Jakob sings only these parts:

Spoiler

(…)

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
What'd you say?

(…)

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

(…)

… and the rest is Billie. I could be wrong though
