I think it's a straight up song about having a fling. "Friend" is just a euphemism, he wants to be more than a friend for sure! All fictional of course though, Lady Cobra plays the dangerous, tempting woman and Billie plays the man who gave into the temptation.

ok that makes more sense. Thanks :)

Wait the 75 minute one? The one they uploaded to Youtube a while back? Was that one and hour and fifteen minutes?

Yeah the 75 minute one is the 1h 15mn final cut

Really a random question, but I've been listening to the song Lady Cobra a lot lately, and I was wondering if the song is just about Billie putting Lady Cobra into the friend zone? Because if it's not then I would really like to know what the song is actually about

I never thought of it like that but I just re-read the lyrics and I think that's actually a good idea

Does anyone know if you can buy the buttons that came with the trilogy box set anywhere? I lost one of my X buttons while wearing it on my purse. :(

Does anyone else find it amazing that green day recorded 37 songs in nearly 5 months? I thought something like that was impossible.

Does anyone know how many hours or times they were in the studio and what days they went to it? Or at least an idea.

There was an old jazz musician that recorded an album every month. Can't remember his name for the life of me though.

To be honest, I don't find it that amazing. It's rare to do it so quick for such big releases, but it's only roughly one song every 5 days on average. If the stuff is already written and you just have to play it and produce it, it's not that hard if you'll really know what you're doing. I have no idea about specifics though, sorry.

And Frusciante released 12 albums in 12 months a couple of years back!

No? Just because they've taken their sweet-ass time before doesn't mean it's necessary. The Beatles recorded their first album in a day and they aren't even close to the only example.

Have Green Day ever played Panic Song live?I've looked all over and can't find a performance.

No and no. Some people think the interlude they play between Brain Stew and Jaded/St Jimmy live is Panic Song, but it's not, it's just a filler interlude jam.

Seriously? It sounds just like it. When I saw them live I was even like "the fuck, is this Panic Song?"

The intro to Panic Song is just tremolo picking on the bass with some chords thrown in on guitar. Same with the interlude. They aren't the same, they just use a similar structure.

So I got the Uno songbook and there are a few writing credits I was wondering about. Anyone have any info on why these specific credits are there?

Jeff Shadbolt (from Purple Hearts) - Carpe Diem

Mirwais Ahmadzai (producer) - Kill The DJ

Chrissie Hynde and James Honeyman-Scott (from The Pretenders) - Loss Of Control

I don't have an answer, but I think that's interesting.

Yeah, there's a Purple Hearts song that has the exact same riff as Carpe Diem, so it was probably a Sam Cooke/Brutal Love sort of thing. The producer on KTDJ could be there for any number of reasons, perhaps have a look into his recording career and see if it gives any reason as to why he'd be involved. The last one is interesting. Maybe LOC also robbed a riff, this time from The Pretenders?

Loss of control was stolen by the song "pack it up" ( again not stolen because they asked)

Posted

Yep, note for note copy.
