Is it true that 'It's Fuck Time' was written for the American Idiot musical, but it didn't fit?

It was written for the cast but not for the show. Every night, they gather before the show and they all put their hands in, you know, like when you're about to go out and it's supposed to pump you up, they go, "1, 2, 3, IT'S FUCK TIME!" And the band was just inspired by that and wrote that masterpiece. ;)

Lol, I don't think so. I'm pretty darn sure that it was written and they decided it was more Foxboro Hot Tubs than Green Day. (Btw, your avatar made me crack up! :lol: )

That's so cool! :P

I always learn something new in this thread! I love it =D

I think they record the music first and then the vocals. That's how you usually record songs/albums... I think.

Sorry if I'm mistaken

that's right :) I think they record it like this: drums, then bass, then guitar, then at at the very end, vocals. I might be wrong though. But the vocals are for sure the last thing they record.

that's correct. They have to record this way for the rythm and stuff.

Random info of the day: Billie just needed 2 days to record Dookie's vocals. Rob Cavallo is still impressed.

I don't think it's for the rhythm as they only started to record that way for 21cb I think, maybe AI. I remember Billie saying he heard that's how The Beatles did it and wanted to try it out.

I miss him :cry: Anyone know why he left Reprise?

You have to do the rhythm before doing vocals, unless you're doing it at the same time. Rhythm being drums, bass and the rhythm guitar.

how do you pronounce pasalacqua in "going to pasalaqcua"?

Posted

^ I'm pretty sure it's "pass-ul-ah-qwa."

:happy: ^ thanks

^I believe it's Pritchard, and as for the legal name changes, I'm sure Mike and Tre go by their real names when it comes to like, family and legal things.

Posted

Yeah, I think someone here already mentioned that they are always credited with their ~real names in films etc. For example the Simpsons Movie.

When GDC did the Rock off Playlist on Absolute radio they were teaching Ben (was is name ben? The presenter bloke?) or whatever his name was that is was pronounced like Masala, so i have always pronounced if pas-ar-la-ca

Mh.. maybe he got sick of people stalking him on there but didn't want to delete it?

Let's not forget what happened when he changed his relationship status from "In A Relationship" to "Single".

You pay just once a year.

I second this question! I've never been too sure of the origin.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's a quote from Tre in some interview. =/
