Marie_GD Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Quick question for those who have already seen it: Compared to BIAB, is there more or less backstage footage? One more day!!!! There's only like 1 min at the beginning.
Blu Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I got it in the mail today. It shipped out yesterday apparently. I'm happy about it and really surprised to be holding Awesome as Fuck in my hands. I should open it and watch/listen to it. I have no idea why I got it on the 21st when it comes out tomorrow. Not gonna complain though.
Velocity Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I haven't even seen/heard Awesome as Fuck yet, but honestly, the fact that auto-tune is used really bums me out. I know for a lot of people it's hardly noticeable at all, but still. It's always been one of my biggest pet peeves. Having a completely real performance, even with off-key notes, will always be 1000 times better than a performance that's auto-tuned. Green Day doesn't even need auto-tune, watching some of their old shows from the '90s shows that they can put on a damn good show without vocal effects like that. I'm trying to stay really optimistic and I don't want to be a buzzkill, but I'm still kind of disappointed. hahha fail page own.
Robin105 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I GOT MINE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going to watch it tomorrow on my big screen hdtv in sterio! I'm so excited!
AndrewW91 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Quick question for those who have already seen it: Compared to BIAB, is there more or less backstage footage? One more day!!!! Less. A lot less. Pretty much none besides the intro. It does show the crowd lining up and stuff like that a few times, though.
Sanity Loan Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I listened to the DVD audio someone posted earlier today and I didn't notice any "auto-tune." And I specifically listened to When I Come Around and didn't notice a "robot voice" coming from Billie. Am I stupid or are people just hearing shit?

I've watched the DVD a few times now, and I did not notice anything like that.

November's Storms Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Quick question for those who have already seen it: Compared to BIAB, is there more or less backstage footage? One more day!!!! Far less compared to BIAB. There is a little backstage piece at the very beginning, and between some of the songs it shows backstage/outside/crowd footage, but it's done in a really cool way. I'm glad they didnt have too much backstage, I didn't want another BIAB. I got it in the mail today. It shipped out yesterday apparently. I'm happy about it and really surprised to be holding Awesome as Fuck in my hands. I should open it and watch/listen to it. I have no idea why I got it on the 21st when it comes out tomorrow. Not gonna complain though. You're no longer a mod? I haven't even seen/heard Awesome as Fuck yet, but honestly, the fact that auto-tune is used really bums me out.

Saying its autotuned suggests it sounds like Kanye West or Black Eyed Peas or some shit. His voice is barely altered, and I only noticed it briefly in a few of the songs. All the qualities, be they good or bad, that make Billie such a great lead vocalist are still there untouched.

Haha, I know Billie doesn't sound robotic, but I can usually spot auto-tune pretty easily and it just irks me.
Velocity Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Sweet, the bonus tracks are available separately in U.S. iTunes. And I never realized before that Paper Lanterns and 2000 Light Years Away are one track on the album.
mankat13 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Best Buy better have it on blu ray in stores or im gonna fuckin flip.
Laura! Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Best Buy better have it on blu ray in stores or im gonna fuckin flip. I saw in the ad that they had it in Blu-Ray. So it'll probably be in stores too.
Sanity Loan Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Best Buy better have it on blu ray in stores or im gonna fuckin flip. That's why I ordered it from Amazon with free two-day shipping (which means it'll be here tomorrow/Tuesday). Plus, its about $3.50 cheaper
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I preorderd the album and I just loggged into itunes and it hasn't started downloading. Isn't it supposed to start downloading right when it becomes available? All the songs are now available to preview and buy and everything and it says "Buy Album" but I'm afraid I'm going to buy it twice.. anyone know what I should do?

Maybe go into your settings and double check that you have it preordered? I opened iTunes up and it automatically had me sign in and started to download.
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Hmmmm. I'd suggest going to your account and "manage pre-orders" and see what it says OK I did and says Green Day: Awesome As **** (Live) [Deluxe Version] Expected Release Date: Mar 22, 2011 Maybe It'll start once it's midnight or something? Maybe go into your settings and double check that you have it preordered? I opened iTunes up and it automatically had me sign in and started to download. Yeah I did and it says I have. It says I have preordered it and can cancel it if I want and all that stuff, but it hasn't started to download even though it's available. weird.. thanks though

I say just cancel your pre-order and then just buy it. You wont lose anything. You'll still get the bonus tracks
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Where are you from? Rhode Island Very strange. I say just cancel your pre-order and then just buy it. You wont lose anything. You'll still get the bonus tracks Yeah that's a good idea. I'm going to go cancel it right now. Thanks
Laura! Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Rhode Island That's strange then. I was thinking if you were in a different time zone then that could be a reason.
