As far as I know the only album demos we have are the Dookie Demos, link the 5th one down from the top.

http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/index.php?showtopic=41602

There was a demo for 21st Century Breakdown (the song) floating around last year, but it wasn't supposed to be, so honestly, I don't know where you'll find it.

EDIT: Hmmm, I went looking for it myself, and I can't find it. With my shitty memory, I actually can't remember if the 21CB demo was an actual song or just the lyrics now, lol.

The Dookie Demo's aren't working. :/

why have they not taken the lcd backdrop with them to south america?

It was probably too expensive to ship down there.

But they used the LCD screens in São Paulo...

Posted

Yeah, probably the cost. They didn't bring it to Australia/Asia either, I seem to recall.

Posted

Yep, I think that's the reason. They didn't have the LCD thing either in New Zealand and Asia (or maybe only a part of Asia... not sure) last year, and they also don't use it at festivals.

Yeah, but that was for the entire European tour, which is more shows than the South American tour. They didn't bring it just for Wembley. :mellow:

(I think) It's a troll. You know how they are.. Or that user is very confused and needs to get used to the forum. I highly doubt it's the latter.

Yh thanks for the good answer (i was just using wembley as an example btw)

Posted

Yeah we had some trollin' going on a few days ago.

Has mike gone back to using Gibson basses for some songs on the final part of the tour as I do recall seeing some pics of him from an American show around August/September using the Grabber?

Have green day ever been in trouble for using the same chords as wonderwall in bolovard of broken dreams?

Posted

^ I don't think they have. There are only so many chords, so it's inevitable that there's gonna be songs with the same chords.

Yh thanks for the good answer (i was just using wembley as an example btw)

Ohh, okay. :)

Nah, there's no law against using the same chords as someone else did before. :)

The way I see it; it's not really about cost, it's aesthetics.

They're at the end of a huge tour, they probably wanted to wind things down and have a more relaxed vibe.

Nah, there's no law against using the same chords as someone else did before. :)

This. Actually I've read that some people have done the math, and every chord combination ever possible has been played in some song or another by now. So it's really impossible NOT to use the same chords as someone.

I have 2 questions.

What is Billie screaming at the end of Blood, Sex, and Booze? xD

Apparently it's "I'll show you a real time!". That's what everyone says it is and a lot of lyric sites say it. And it seems to sound right, it fits if you listen to it.

I'm not entirely convinced though because it's a bit of a strange way of phrasing it. "I'll show you a good time" is a well known phrase but "I'll show you a real time" is a bit weird. But then again plenty of lines in Blood Sex and Booze and other Green Day songs are phrased in a weird way :lol:, so it probably is right. Unless the band decides to tell us one day that's the best answer we have, so I'll go with it.

I'm pretty sure he just brought it out for some select shows, you never really know... (Mike shall do what Mike shall want)

He used it for the show I went to in Montreal, but he still very mainly uses his Fender P-Basses

Haha, yeah, that sounds about right. xD I always thought it was "I'll show you real power", which is pretty creepy. So I'm opting for the less creepy possibility. Thank you! :happy:

Bab's Uvula Who is an anagram of "who luvs u baba", which is something from a Saturday Night Live sketch.

I have no idea what it's got to do with the song, though :lol:

Oh yeah! That's what I thought. I remember asking my mom if she knew what "Who luvs you baba" was from, and she thought it was hilarious that Green Day used it. xD Thanks for reminding me. :D

With the Dookie Demo tapes, I know the first one (the one with the Walkin Then Dog cover) was used to shop around but what was the 2nd one for?

Posted

Why did they name the album Nimrod?

I know the reasons behind every other album name but even for GD Nimrod seems a bit random

Posted

Pretty much. And c'mon; it's Liam Gallagher. :rolleyes: That guy's just an ass when it comes to a lot of things.
