JDookie Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Well, I don't know where I should put this, so I started a new topic. Mods could merge it with another, if they think it's better. Last night I "studied" Dookie booklet and I noticed something strange with the background... Some songs' backgrounds are linked but not in the sense of the album... Here what I found: I think She should be the first and its background is linked with the Burnout's one (you can see a little doodle on the floor which starts in She and ends in Burnout); Having a Blast is linked with Pulling Teeth (the black spot on the floor and the brick); Chump is linked with Welcome to Paradise ( in the left of this one there's a slice of a guy drawn in Chump); When I Come Around is linked with Sassafras Roots (in the left of this you can see a slice of WICA square, in the right of WICA you can see a line wich continues in Sassafras Root and the beginning of a brick); Coming Clean with In the End ( there's In the End guy arm in Coming Clean background). What do you know about? There was a big picture of the album? But why in this order? ( I can't understand the break between Chump and Longview). And, do you know the meaning of sigles (ASJ, NJC)? Who is P Hynes?
kristinsinferno Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I don't know about the order. Probably they drew out everything in that order and then decided to rearrange the songs. P. Hynes wrote all the lyrics and put together to booklet, pretty much.
Hermione Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Ha! Years ago on here someone noticed this and posted scans of the pages fitted together, I'll try and find them in a minute. You and whoever that was have good observation skills! And yeah my guess is the booklet was made before they decided on the tracklisting. Cool to see though. I think most of the initials and stuff have some significance to the local area/local punk scene, anyone know anything more specific?
Hermione Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Yay found them. Thanks to the person who originally posted these scans, don't know who it was I'm afraid Pretty cool to see how the pictures match up
Undómiel Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I think out of the droodles my favourite has got to be the one for chump or for coming clean...
WestboundSign! Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I think it's a bit weird - however - I really like the fact that pages which are not next to each other fit together..
Four. Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 When you print out magazines or booklets, the last page and first page are together, and so on until the middle... if that was understandable? Maybe that's how it's supposed to fit?
pasalaska Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 ooh, I've noticed this before too! I'm assuming they got the artwork done and then decided the tracklist
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 That's so cool! I never would have noticed
Stormy Haze Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 This is so cool! I've looked at the Dookie booklet for so many times, yet I've never noticed this. Thanks for pointing this out and thanks Hermione for posting the scans
JDookie Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 And yeah my guess is the booklet was made before they decided on the tracklisting. Cool to see though. But... Chump must be followed by Longview... That's what I can't understand! However, thanks for posting photos, I haven't noticed the Basket Case's one. Another pretty thing is the bottle ( if my memory serves me right, it's in Welcome to Paradise background) on which is written 80
Florence Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 That's so cool. I've never noticed that the pictures match up. I think the original booklet started with "She", because there's a writing on the left that says "Green Day Dookie! "
Nobody Likes Cam Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Wow, that's really cool. I've never stared at the book for hours on end tho, so I would've never noticed. These are the little things only true GD fans notice/think of
green day is Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 That's amazing! Thanks for noticing and thanks for the scans. But... Chump must be followed by Longview... That's what I can't understand! But what if the booklet was made before the songs were recorded? Then it wouldn't have had to have been followed by Longview, because they might not have been transitional yet.
Hermione Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 But... Chump must be followed by Longview... That's what I can't understand! However, thanks for posting photos, I haven't noticed the Basket Case's one. Another pretty thing is the bottle ( if my memory serves me right, it's in Welcome to Paradise background) on which is written 80 True. My guess is the guy who made the booklet didn't know that Chump and Longview had to go together. And the 80 on the bottle, I never thought about that! Usually you get bottles that say "40" on them in the US, so the 80 must be a reference to the Green Day song. I like it!
Laura! Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Whoa, that's awesome! I've looked at the Dookie booklet so many times and haven't noticed this before!
Zelda Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I NEVER in a million years would have noticed that. Thanks for sharing!
-Billiejoezee- Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Oh how I love the dookie booklet. So many hidden stuff in it and random tidbits of lines.
whatserbmae Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Wow, thanks for sharing! This is really cool. The Dookie booklet is just awesome - I love the drawings!
