Drama Queen & Olivia

I think there's a good chance of Olivia being added to the new album. I think they didn't include it on 21st CB because they would have to add another character to the album and they probably just wanted it to be about Christian and Gloria. However, Olivia may have been Christian and Gloria's daughter on the album... We'll probably never know the full story but there's still a chance of it being on the new record. That Youtube video of what Drama Queen would sound like electric rules! That song would be so fucking cool recorded like that. The acoustic one is great, but I have a feeling it would sound amazing recorded with electric guitars and drums. When It's Time obviously wouldn't work that way though. It's great just as it is - acoustic. Also, if anyone discovers on the internet or records a live version at a show of Olivia/Wonderful please make a thread and share it with everyone :)

No one's heard Wonderful yet. All we know is that it's a Beach Boy-ish tune. It's supposedly a really great, upbeat song but it didn't fit on 21st CB. We also don't know if When It's Time and Olivia are the same song. I personally don't think they are. The name "Olivia" isn't used once in the song. It also sounds like a love song Billie wrote for his wife so I don't get it how could have once been referred to as "Olivia" but that's just my opinion. Hope that helped :)

Why are people fretting so much about Billie going solo? He could make a solo album and still be with Green Day. Thats like saying he's abandoning his band mates by being in Pinhead Gunpowder. I welcome him making a solo album personally.

As for the songs, maybe they might go on the new album? Hell it's supposed to be out next year so it's not an entirely stupid idea. I'd love it if the song was called Olivia though, thats my best friends name and Green Day mean ALOT to her and I mean ALOT. She's been a fan for over 15 years so I'm hoping thats what the songs called.

Just wondering, where did you get the "it [next album] is supposed to be out next year" from?

I would highly doubt that's the sole reason it wasn't added to the album. We don't even know what it was about, or why it was called Olivia. I mean, maybe you're right, we can't know. I don't think Olivia was the daughter of Christian and Gloria though. I can't remember the context in which the song was mentioned, but my guess is that it was written outside of the whole (concept of the) album and therefore didn't get added (which is slightly contradicting myself, I know that).

Yeah it did thanks. :) Where was Wonderfuol mentioned? I feel like I've missed something :lol:

In one of the early articles about 21stCB (before it was out). I really can't remember which, though.

I took on the challenge and found the interview :D

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/03/arts/music/03pare.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

The bit where he mentioned it:

The day after the election, Mr. Armstrong wrote a new song called “Wonderful,” Mr. Vig said. “It was super poppy, sunny, Beach Boys but with fuzzy pop chords,” he said. “It was great. Hundreds of bands would kill to have this song on the record.” Mr. Armstrong, he said, vetoed it, deciding it wouldn’t fit with the rest of the album. “He said, ‘I just had to write it,’ ” Mr. Vig recalled.

God, should've been the fucking end of the record. He's said like twenty fucking times that he wanted the record to end in a hopeful way.

^ I think See The Light is suitably hopeful. I wouldn't say no to it being on there though :lol:, I wanna hear it so much. We need b-sides.
