The Pedestrian Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Zane Lowe (BBC radio 1) said this earlier: “We will have the exclusive worldwide first play of the first official single from Uno coming up very soon, not tonight, but soon-ish." What does that mean!? He said that after playing Oh Love, which as far as I’m concerned IS the first official single from Uno. Confused.
petros Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I really have to say, everybody has their own opinion, but reading this thread and people bashing the song makes me pretty sad. Really. Like I said after listening the song for the first time, my hands started to shake and tears of joy were dropping down on my cheeks. I was so excited and happy. It's so, so nice to hear new material after so long time and I'm pretty pumped up because this (pretty disliked) song is the beginning of something new, big and fresh. Why can't people be happy about this? This is your favorite band. You don't have to like all of their songs but c'mon, reading all of that "this song sucks/fucking autotune/lyrics doesn't make sense/lame/too long" whining is really depressing. For me what sucks is to read that kind of shit. Personally, I love this song already, and I can't wait to see the music video. It's so nice that our guys are back in business. This is what they do and I think they've done really great job with this song, great start for the new Green Day-era. Why do you care if other people here like it or not? I mean you can't say "why can't all we be happy about it?"Everybody has their opinion and not everybody likes the song that's all

I mean you can't say "why can't all we be happy about it?"Everybody has their opinion and not everybody likes the song that's all This. I could care less what other people think. Ive had it on repeat since it came out and ive had a blast. Oh loooove oooooh looove.
pucky Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I know that probably people will kill me when I say this but...I hope they don't play Oh Love live. IN MY OPINION (leave this clear so nobody goes mad about this) it lacks a lot of energy to work live, and as a ballad I don't see it working either, it doesn't have the emotion or epicness of WMUWSE or 21 Guns. It's kind of an intermediate point between a powerful song and a ballad, which causes that it doesn't belong to any of those fields. It is fun to listen on the record, but I honestly don't see it work in concerts... Now you can kill me.

I mean you can't say "why can't all we be happy about it?"Everybody has their opinion and not everybody likes the song that's all It's not like it's gonna effect my life somehow, but I really don't like too negative atmosphere. And after reading so much whining I started to think why people can't be happy like "okay I don't like this song but it's great that they're back", or something like that. I think people accentuate too much that how bad the song is in their opinion.
captain peroxide Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Has anyone posted the chords yet? The main riff is G# C# G#. Haven't bothered to figure out the rest, besides the solo.
drugstore hooligan Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Has anyone posted the chords yet? G# C# D# are the chords used, and a little walkdown before the chorus. Just play around with it to. get how its played.

It's a great song, but it doesn't have that kick a lot of Green Day songs have nor does it have as deep of emotion as the other ballads. Even my mom liked it! Now to get the radio to play it....

Fans will be most familiar with this song from the new material (since its our first taste after all), thus giving it is own life -- even if you think it lacks a certain energy. The familiarity alone will get the crowd pumped and singing along when they perform it.
The Pedestrian Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 The main riff is G# C# G#. Haven't bothered to figure out the rest, besides the solo. You’ve figured out the solo? I tried to, but I can’t quite get the first half of it. I’m playing it like this so far. If you’ve got better then I will be eternally grateful EDIT: you evidently can’t paste tab into here without it screwing up. Dammit :/
WhatserKinx Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 This song must be good 'cause I sent my non-GD fan friend the link and he said it was good (this is a big compliment from him considering he hates the band and basically everything they do) he even said that he was going to put it in his gaming playlist because "it's one of those songs that you don't have to concentrate on to enjoy"
Fuzz Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Oh shit, that wasn't it?? Yeah, that's it. Just buy it. Promise, that's the song.

Yeah, that probably would be right for these first concerts where nobody knows any other song besides Oh Love, but once the trilogy is released, I would stop playing it, there are many more songs that are much more powerful.
Martyn Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Did anyone else notice that they posted it to their sound cloud 5 days ago? Surprised none of us found it before then. It wasn't public...obviously. Set live on SoundCloud about 5 minutes before it was supposed to be on the site, i was there.
sampy Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I'm not able to buy it from Amazon, I'm from outside of US so they don't allow it.

It is fun to listen on the record, but I honestly don't see it work in concerts... Now you can kill me. I've already heard it live at the secret Halloween show in New York. The place pretty much rocked out to it, and this version of it is way better than it was in New York. On top of that, Green Day could play a Celine Dion (sp?) song and it would rock the place out. They're just really that good.
Jimmy the Kid Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I've listened to the song some times, it's a really good effort by Green Day. It's not their best song, by a long shot, but there is some warm touch behind those words, like he really means them, and the overall sound is vastly improved over recent efforts. Digging the 60/70's style rock/power pop, suits them good, better than rock operas. Waiting for the album to listen to the song with the rest of them so i may have a better opinion. Jimmy's seal of aproval!
-Billiejoezee- Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 mmmmm David This is me while listening to Oh Love for the 100th time It's such an amazing song i might just puke out the colors in the Oh Love video.
melissawebster Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Also, am I the only one who hears a bit of Kid Rock in this song? Kind of a southern rock bent to it?
The Grohl Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Also, am I the only one who hears a bit of Kid Rock in this song? Kind of a southern rock bent to it? Yes ...j/k but I didn't hear that...then again I don't listen to him so I could be wrong

For me what sucks is to read that kind of shit. Unfortunately, your argumentation doesn't work that way. It's great to hear new material and I'm really happy one of my favourite bands is pulling off such a huge project. But it's actually pretty easy: I'm not a huge fan of this song. Period. Should I suddenly love it just because it's their first of 36 new songs? I don't think so. An average song doesn't modify my opinion about Green Day at all. They're still amazing and I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff, but sometimes criticzing is necessary - whatever at which point of their career
whatsername Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I love the song on my stereo, sounds alot better.
