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.

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.

You can listen to that song here. It's a quite nice song, but I don't really hear Billie.

Oh, I didn't know that.

wow, cool. Thank you very much for the answers!

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?

Could you only listen to a preview? I listened to the full song on that site... weird :blink:

Here's the full song: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Do_Miss_America/7797629

I think Billie is the one doing the "ahh ahhhs" during a part of the song :lol:

you're right, and i think he does the uuuhs too

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.

I only hear a second voice when he's singing "...America".

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.

Posted

never knew or expected this but cool.

Posted

Whoa, i had no idea about that. I could hardly hear the other voice, but that's still pretty sweet

Posted

Yep, I have that album. :happy:

Posted

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.

Posted

I wouldn't have guessed there was a second singer in that song aside from that ooohs/aaahhs.

Posted

Interesting.

Am i a bitch?

Cause i really don't give a shit

Posted

I think I hear him ? Or maybe it's my imagination. It also sounds like him playing guitar.... kinda

Posted

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.
