jose armstrong Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Repetition normally does excellent in terms of like mainstream pop charts.It sticks in their heads.MTV are kissing up to Green Day and are going to play their video 24/7.I'm sure it'll do well Plus people are pissed off again. The recession has people angry again so this song sorta fits these angry people I really do love the rest of the new stuff quite a bit more than this song. I'm just not that excited about it, which is crazy because I'm a ridiculously obsessed fan...but no point pretending I think its as amazing as the rest of the songs.I do love it though.they are gonna play the video after each new episode of the hills.
Starbug Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 i like it. i dont think it will catch on with the (m)asses...but its a good fucking tune. it will translate to arenas easily and is pyro friendly (use your imaginations kids) ....i got the aussie radio rip w/ tre's intro and the kroq rip....but i missed the xm link...anyone who has the xm version, feel free to pm me a link or hit me up so we can do things via email....I like the pyros, but I prefer what I saw of those lights from that show the other night I like a pretty light show.Repetition normally does excellent in terms of like mainstream pop charts.It sticks in their heads.MTV are kissing up to Green Day and are going to play their video 24/7.I'm sure it'll do well Plus people are pissed off again.

But we shall see
Red Lights Flash Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I really, really love this song. It's so catchy, you just want to keep singing along. I wonder if this song will still be as good 4 years from now. American Idiot, Holiday, BoBD, Jesus of Suburbia, they've all become legendary rock songs. Something tells me KYE doesn't really fit in that group.
Guitar4Girl Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Finally got to download KYE at about 10.30pm last night on the UK itunes. It's already on the '25 most played' on my ipod Edit: I've just noticed that on the idiot club they've posted this:"04-16 - GREEN DAY ON CARSON Green Day is set for a full week of performances on Last Call with Carson Daly in June! Stay tuned for exact details..."I don't know if there's a topic on this already?
Bexie. Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 its a catchy number i think theres going to be better on the album (i got a nagging gut feeling this is going to be HUGE) KYE is going to be a great arena tune, bouncy, catchy sing till you heart bleeds kind of song..
GreenNimrod Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I finally had a chance to give KYE a good listen, start to finish, without our little 18-month-old demanding something from me at the same time .....when all's said and done I'll give it a B+. It's a good song -- not a great song, certainly not the best that Green Day can do, but that doesn't mean it's not a "good song."What I like about it: Mike delivers a great bass riff; I like Tre's strong, simple drum rhythm that grabs you right at the start and powers through all the way through the finish (aside from the small part after Billie Joe screams for revolution!), and of course we have the damn good vocal quality and lead guitar from Billie Joe that we expect of him now. The bridge harmony and extended instrumental section that follows the bridge kicks ass -- I really like the sound of BJA's guitar here, and it's a new tonal color for Green Day....not the usual major-key, driving sound we get from "Blue" -- I think he's using his Les Pauls on this song instead of his famous Strat. Then in the closing repetition of the chorus, they bring the guitar pattern from the bridge in, which (finally!) changes up the music a tad and ties the whole song together nicely at the end.There are also a few high points in the lyrics -- "Bringin' on the fury/the choir infantry/revolts against the honor to obey": I really like the play on words here, joining "choir" (one would think of peace/love/harmony/unity/beauty here) with "infantry" (war), followed immediately by a demand for revolution. Taken together, I think this means something like: We (the band and everyone who is chanting this incessantly repetitious chorus along with us) are the "choir infantry" -- the singing army that isn't going to put up with this "blindly follow the leader" bullshit anymore. Really, really potent stuff in a simple package. The next high point in the lyrics is BJA's call to "rally up the demons of your soul." This summons to dig deep down into the parts of yourself that scare the crap out of you, and use that energy to change what you don't like about the world, sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. Then there's Billie Joe's scream at the end of his bridge vocals...I don't think I want to know which one of his inner demons he hoarked up to deliver that knockout punch....WOW is that effective.What I don't like about the lyrics: This is as deep as they go, and we know that Green Day are capable of a lot more than that (compare: Letterbomb, Homecoming, Minority even Welcome To Paradise). I'd have liked to have seen them cut out two or three repetitions of "Do you know your enemy" and replace it with a second verse that's as strong as the first and either builds on it or turns it on its head.Lastly, I think I concur with a few comments I've seen elsewhere that the song's cut-ending is too abrupt. Yeah, a bit nit-picky, but take it for what it's worth.So....B+ from me, with a hope that I don't get sick of it before the album gets released next month. I think the smae of you.
parinaz Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 is there any free download link?I cant buy it. its not selling here.
Bexie. Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 is there any free download link?I cant buy it. its not selling here.if you go back to pages 39/40 (just a guess) on this thread i think there are some free downloads of the radio version...
Alan86 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I dunno. I have a sneaking, sickening suspicion that this single may not do too well :/ It's just too repetitive. I like it, too. It sounds especially good when it's especially loud in my car But I dunno. I dunno if they shoulda picked this as a first single. We'll see I agree it sounds great when its very loud in a car. I had this experience this morning driving to work and it is fantastic very loud
Child_of_a_Nimrod Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I like the energy of Know your Enemy. I think it's the perfect 1st Single. Hope the album will be even better!
Jessayy Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 After reading the few reiveiws on the internet about the single....critics dont seem TO impressed...on average giving it about 3 out of 5im kind of sad now though:(i really hope the single does well....at first i actualy though the song was erm..crap...but i LOVE it now after a few listens.i just really hope non-super fans like it...xthe song wasn't worth the wait, it hasn't grown on me, 21st CB is better IMOi know I LOVE 21 CB...amazing...i like no all the words haha,...
vival@gloria Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Although i like the song, and it's damn catchy, i am a little disappointed if i'm honest. It just sounds way too repetitive, but i can see why it's a good choice for a radio single. 21st CB, Vivalagloria & Desperate all sound way better from what i've heard.
M.K. Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Does anyone has the cut of the album song "Lights Out"?
