koolkev Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I recently figured out that the chorus of Deadbeat Holiday is like the verse of Mass Hysteria. Thoughts?
Katarina. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 And the Static Age sounds a bit like Church on Sunday. And I think the chorus of East Jesus Nowhere sounds a little bit like the chorus of Dark Side of Night and Holiday. Not much else to say about that. Not that interesting imo We have separate song discussion threads for that.
koolkev Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Really? How is it possible? Just listen to Deadbeat Holiday and Mass Hysteria RIGHT in a row.
Hermione Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah quite a few of Green Day's songs have similarities to each other, and to other people's songs. That's kind of just the way it goes with music, songwriters are influenced by other songs, melodies and sounds they've heard.

sara_gd Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I think it's particulary remarkable in 21st Century Breakdown
Hermione Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 You're definitely right about Deadbeat Holiday and Mass Hysteria too, it's actually come up for discussion on here a few times before
November's Storms Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Warning sounds like Picture Book by The Kinks. Really this probably belongs in Song Discussions thread, cos we could go on forever here!

Uva Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Just listen to Deadbeat Holiday and Mass Hysteria RIGHT in a row. Oh yeah) I guess so) thanks
Velocity Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Brain Stew sounds like 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago and the bass in While by Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles.
koolkev Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Just the same tune if you get what I mean
Stormy Haze Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah quite a few of Green Day's songs have similarities to each other, and to other people's songs. That's kind of just the way it goes with music, songwriters are influenced by other songs, melodies and sounds they've heard.
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Some of the music in certain Foxobro songs sound really similar to some things The Clash did later in their career. Can't think of an example right this second but listen to FBHT and Combat Rock back to back. Pretty cool.
Undómiel Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 The drums on Know Your Enemy and Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill....
jake smith Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 maybe its not Green Day but Blink 182 Anthem Part 2 and Angels And Airwaves Everythings Magic sound ppretty much the same
Tubbie Head Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Lights Out is very similar to the 1st bit of Letterbomb.
Satan Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The drums on Know Your Enemy and Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill.... you're right! they're like exactly the same. Lights Out is very similar to the 1st bit of Letterbomb. i never noticed that one....
Jacob. Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Misery & Little Girl, Prosthetic Head & Horseshoes and Handgrenades, Church on Sunday & The Static Age, Jackass & When September Ends, 25 or 6 to 4 & Bran Stew... alot of songs sound similar.
Alan86 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 "One of my Lies" is the same as "Basket case" "Hitchin a ride" is kind of similar to "Hit the road Jack"
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Lights Out is very similar to the 1st bit of Letterbomb. I second this. Lyrically and Technically, lights out seems like an American Idiot track and Warning put together. It's odd to me that it is 21CB era. Also "Little Girl" and The Doors "Alabama Song" (Whiskey Bar) are very similar. And the whole thing with the Gloria character and the doors song "Gloria" ...I think they listened to a lot of The Doors while recording.
deadair Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 One of my favorite Green Day interviews below, in which the interviewer compares "Hitchin' A Ride" to some song by the Stray Cats- ^The dumbass interviewer actually does have a point. The bass line of "Hitchin' A Ride" sort of sounds like a sped-up version of the Stray Cats one.
Emilie Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 There's a bit just over halfway through Prosthetic Head that reminds me of All the Time.
