Thanks for the info, very interesting!

The producer mentioned wasn't that of Kill The DJ, though. I guess I wasn't clear about that. He's most famous for his work with Madonna, I can't seem to find any mention of Green Day.

Maybe he was working the different sounds they used on KTDJ? Or maybe their producer came down with the sniffles and he stood in for the day? Who knows?

Also this is the song that Carpe Diem ripped off

Yeah, potentially. Maybe they ripped off a song that he wrote for Madonna or something, heh.

Thanks for the videos. Cheeky buggers! 37 songs, I wonder how many of them are ACTUALLY original. :P

That horrifying moment when you realise that the only truly original song on the Trilogy was Nightlife.

There's Joint Aktion song (the guy that does the Dookifieds) that has a part that sounds just like Missing You. And it came out years before. :lol:

Ok, here's one: There seems to be a lot of confusion around the net for some reason. Have Green Day ever covered, live or in the studio, Closing Time by Semisonic? I know the latter isn't the case, but maybe there's some rarity I don't know about, heh.

I saw this video around Facebook so i was wondering, is it real?! I mean, is this really Billie, is a real prank or it was plane?!

Not in the studio, and not a full version live. They may have touched part of it in a King for a Day medley or something, but probably not. Where's the confusion?

Numerous lyrics sites label it a Green Day song.

Loads of lyric and guitar tab sites label it as Green Day. And I found an mp3 download of it a few years ago, and when I played it it was just the original Semisonic version. There seems to be some bizarre idea that, at the very least, Mike wrote it because the rhythm is similar to When I Come Around. Which is obviously utter crap, it sounds nothing like it and Mike has about as much to do with it as I do.

Are all these similar riffs and whatnot used with permission if that's the right term? I've seen a ton of stuff that claims Green Day ripped it off but that doesn't really bother me I just wanna know if they at least asked

If they credit the artist in the booklet, that means they asked.

It isn't really that simple, I think.

Wait for WhiteTim to explain it.

Pretty much is...

For the other songs that sounds like other songs if they aren't credited then the band and label are taking a huge risk by not clearing the songs (which is actually common...) or they are changed enough to not require a clearence

There is more to it but when you boil it down and without going into a long and boring detailed report it boils down to getting the publisher's clearences

hey everyone :)

got a little question... hope you can help :)

Every year my hometown orchestra is giving a little concert.. its more a fun thing.

For this i wanted to ask if anyone knows where to find good arrangements of green day songs for orchestra, maybe a medley would be nice...? But i have to say that without guitars those fast songs sound a bit freaky for my taste so i thought of songs like brutal love for example..? but im happy for every guess :)

hope anyone can help me :) it would be so great to do a green day song next concert :)

thank you :wub:

It's not really Billie, Green Day were on tour and played a show that night so there's no way he would've been tucked up in bed at home at that time. Plus I'd find it very hard to believe they'd have his home number anyway and if you listen carefully you can hear it's not his voice. I'm not sure they were even trying to pretend it was really him, I think they just wanted to do a "Wake Me Up When September Ends" joke. Quite funny anyway though :lol:

It was recorded in 2006, Green Day weren't on tour then.

That's weird, I'd heard before that it was from 2005 and that was the case. Would they even do a WMUWSE joke in 2006? It'd be pretty out of date. But anyway I still don't think it's him for the other reasons, they wouldn't have his number, the reaction sounds fake, and you can hear it isn't his voice.

it wasn't out of date, fall 2006 was the superdome with U2, they played WMUWSE

Then i think we'll never know, thanks anyway! :P

People still make those jokes today, now it's really out of date
