Justin Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well it was written in 1992. Wasn't recorded until the nimrod. sessions, though. But it was recorded with the same structure etc. It wouldn't have fit in the Dookie style but once recorded with a different sound suited the Nimrod record.

Guest Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well it was written in 1992. Wasn't recorded until the nimrod. sessions, though. There's a live recording of it from 1992, and several demos from 1993/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cob Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The Heart Like A Handgrenade crew said in an interview that they witnessed the creation of multiple albums during the time that they filmed Green Day in the studio. They said they saw the creation of a Christmas album, a new wave album, a punk record, and finally what would became American Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That still doesn't mean it was recorded for Dookie. It's not a recording from the studio. Oh it's not been a while since I've listened to the demos Just re listened to it its a studio demo which still means it was recorded yes it may not have been slated for Dookie but it was recorded in a studio form and then held back for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a studio tape it'd be much better quality. After one of the Basket Case demos, there is the intro to 16, it must have been cut out or something.

So where was this recorded it sure as fuck werent recorded live nor does it sound home recorded the tape sound bad cause of the generation of the tape as whoever leaked it has had a tape of a tape of a tape version This was a studio recording yes not at Fantasy Studios where Dookie itself was done but at a studio it could be the same studio Kerplunk was at the drum sound is clearly not from a 4 track cassette recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a studio tape it'd be much better quality. After one of the Basket Case demos, there is the intro to 16, it must have been cut out or something. It's not uncommon for a group to record a demo in a cheap studio, then re-record in a professional environment, hence the quality difference. Not every studio is going to give you perfect results, you get what you pay for.So where was this recorded it sure as fuck werent recorded live nor does it sound home recorded the tape sound bad cause of the generation of the tape as whoever leaked it has had a tape of a tape of a tape version This was a studio recording yes not at Fantasy Studios where Dookie itself was done but at a studio it could be the same studio Kerplunk was at the drum sound is clearly not from a 4 track cassette recorder I've heard home recordings sound as good as that demo.

It may have been recorded in a studio, but what I mean is these weren't recorded when they were recording Dookie. They were recorded before, at a different studio, and therefore not recorded with all the songs on Dookie. So we have no proof that Haushinka was recorded for Dookie, it was just recorded on a demo tape from a non-album recording session. Which, btw, do you think JAR was recorded with Dookie, or after Dookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBillieJoe95 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Drama Queen was written for 21CBD. There's this article from a magazine where they talked about each track individually (there's also video I think) and Drama Queen is there in place of Murder City. EJN is also called March of the Dogs. Quite interesting! So much I've apparently missed out on Would you (or anyone else) happen to know which article, or even the time frame it was from? Finding it kind of annoying that the Trilogy has a bunch of discarded songs that weren't used for old albums. If they weren't good enough then, why are they good enough now? I think it's more stuff they've revisited and reworked I'm sure a lot of the stuff wasn't necessarily "bad" or "not good enough", but more they weren't able to do what they wanted with them at the time Quite frankly, I'm glad they're choosing to revisit a lot of this stuff! I'd absolutely LOVE to hear stuff they recorded but didn't actually release! Hopefully some day they'll do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoopy Doo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You guys are also forgetting Haushinka was recorded before Dookie and didn't come out until Nimrod. Does that mean it's a shitty reject track. Fuck no that song is one of the best songs. I wouldn't care if some songs were reworked b-sides or discarded songs once. What they are now is what's important. Not to mention Letterbomb, which evolved from "Clusterbomb," a Warning outtake (don't know the right word); J.A.R., which is also from the Dookie demos; and Maria, which was a Warning b-side;.

Which, btw, do you think JAR was recorded with Dookie, or after Dookie? I didn't mean to imply it was during the recording sessions at Fantasy Studios just that it was a studio recording during the demo sessions during the Dookie era sorry I should've been more clear But there could be a version of it actually done at Fantasy do we have any info on songs recorded that didnt make it? I've heard home recordings sound as good as that demo. How ever, that's from 1993 and I'm fairly certain that wasn't something people did, yes? Well back in those days they had 4 track cassette recorders but the sound quality on them weren't exactly the best they were meant mainly just to put ideas down Now home recorders you can record an album and have it sound like it was done at a real studio (if you know how to use the equipment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yes How is 1 live song and 1 studio song half an album? Cigerattes and Valentines has only 3.5 songs on it. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Highway Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Cigs and Valentines and Too Much Too Soon are official official. Walk Away is runner-up official. Drop Out is official but we've never heard it and there's no evidence to say it's Brutal Love at all. If Billie told us a song was once called "Suicide" what song would you think it was? Lyrics don't mean a lot relative to names. actually it could be Uptight i gueess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99-revolutions Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Not nessicary a Neil Young album was stolen and got leaked back in the 80's the person responsible still has yet to be caught All the 2Pac music no one knows who and that Nirvana song You Know Your Rights So it's possible it could get leaked without ever being caught risky yes but a shot But I don't believe it was stolen myself studios have gotten stricter in the last 15 years and since Mike has said they made back up on DAT tapes leads me believe they were recording on analog source either ADAT's or DA-88's which would be ALOT of tapes to take ADAT's are the same size as VHS tapes and one song alone can take up 3-4 tapes so 20 songs would not be easy to walk out if they were using Ocean Way Studio (where they did American Idiot) then they check everyone entering and exiting... i think they just didnt like the songs and rather say publicly "these songs were bad" they can just "they were stolen" if anyone is in Oakland check the police records (they are public records) if they were stolen the band and ESCP Warner (since they pay for the studio time) would've opened a police report on it... See the thing is that the band have said that they don't know whether the tapes were stolen or misplaced or what. They said they didn't want to go through with C&V so they probably saw no point in filing a report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 A label is going to file a police report they are not going to spend 50-100k on studio time Don't the bands themselves pay for it most of the time? AWOLNATION is the only band I've ever heard of that didn't and that's because they were already famous and were signed by Red Bull records, who doesn't exactly need their money to stay in business. Come to think of it, do we know anything really about Green Day's contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromdecimateddreams Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 So I was listening to music earlier and Shoplifter came on my shuffle right after the live version of Cigarettes and Valentines, and I thought... what if Shoplifter was about whoever stole C&V? I dunno, maybe I'm just reading too far into it or something but it seems kinda plausible considering it's a B-side on American Idiot which we all know is the "replacement" of sorts for Cigarettes&Valentines. And the tone of the song suggests that the band isn't really fond of the "shoplifter" in this scenario so idk, it seems like it makes sense. Thoughts? If there's a topic for this already I'm sorry, but I looked and didn't see anything. Mods can lock also if this is a pointless thread too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
