Marlena Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I have this book called "Nobody Likes You. Inside the turbulent life, times, and music of Green Day."And the author quotes someone, can't remember now who he was, who says that he knows that Billie Joe sang on one of Ryan Adams albums.That was the time before American Idiot, when Billie was in New York and got back drunk... y'know. The whole jail-thing.And this someone claims that Billie sang on this album by Ryan Adams before he left New York.So...Is this true? I've never heard about it. If it is true, what's the album called? I certainly don't feel like listening to all of Ryan Adams albums.
Hermione Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Yep, it's true. It was the song 'Do Miss America' on the album 'Rock N Roll'. It was only backing vocals though, I've never listened to it but I doubt you can hear him much.
Kaddi. Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 You can listen to that song here. It's a quite nice song, but I don't really hear Billie.
Marlena Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 wow, cool. Thank you very much for the answers!
Blu Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 You can listen to that song here. It's a quite nice song, but I don't really hear Billie.There's someone else singing in that song? You really don't hear anyone else at all.
Marlena Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 There's someone else singing in that song? You really don't hear anyone else at all.maybe because it's just a preview of 30 seconds?
Marie_GD Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Here's the full song: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Do_Miss_America/7797629I think Billie is the one doing the "ahh ahhhs" during a part of the song
Kaddi. Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 maybe because it's just a preview of 30 seconds?Could you only listen to a preview? I listened to the full song on that site... weird
saffy Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Here's the full song: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Do_Miss_America/7797629I think Billie is the one doing the "ahh ahhhs" during a part of the song you're right, and i think he does the uuuhs tooCould you only listen to a preview? I listened to the full song on that site... weird everybody loves german people, even websites do lol
mallorymaloney Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I just listened to the whole song, and I couldn't hear shit. He must be wayyyyy in the background, singing really softly. You can definitely hear a second voice behind Adams', but it's so quiet, it's impossible to tell if it's Billie.

You can definitely hear a second voice behind Adams', but it's so quiet, it's impossible to tell if it's Billie.I only hear a second voice when he's singing "...America".Here's the full song: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Do_Miss_America/7797629I think Billie is the one doing the "ahh ahhhs" during a part of the song thank you.you're right, and i think he does the uuuhs tooeverybody loves german people, even websites do lollol, what do you mean by that?Could you only listen to a preview? I listened to the full song on that site... weird are you a gold member on last fm?
Blu Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 maybe because it's just a preview of 30 seconds?I think I heard the whole thing... even when I clicked that link to the other site with the whole song, I still don't hear anything other than Ryan Adams.
Nikki_Nimrod Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Whoa, i had no idea about that. I could hardly hear the other voice, but that's still pretty sweet
14razorbacks Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 you totally should listen to all of Adams' records!billie helped write some of the album, too. I'm pretty sure he's just singing the same thing Adams is in the chorus of Do Miss America. I may be wrong.
Sharmellow Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I wouldn't have guessed there was a second singer in that song aside from that ooohs/aaahhs.
Peace and Rainbows Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Am i a bitch?Cause i really don't give a shit
amy_runs Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I think I hear him ? Or maybe it's my imagination. It also sounds like him playing guitar.... kinda
Chelsea Hotel Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 His voice is pretty low in the mix, but I think he's doing the "ooo" that starts around 1:03. I don't hear him singing along with the verse.
Guest Shangri-La Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Billie does the "oooooohh's" during the chorus.Am i a bitch?Cause i really don't give a shitthen why are you posting??
