Iva Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 That's the most memorable riff on all three albums. Shame so many people skip Dos. Would love if they just improvised on that song live, jammed a bit. Didn't Billie like Grateful Dead around the time Insomniac was released?
Punkfreak1414 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 How come the chords are different in the broadway version of songs? Most noticble is 21 guns during the chorus and bridge
green day is Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 How come the chords are different in the broadway version of songs? Most noticble is 21 guns during the chorus and bridge Artistic Liberation comes, often, without reason. We aren't them and we can't answer that question. Also, the chords in 21 Guns are exactly the same, they're just in a different key.
Spike Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 How come the chords are different in the broadway version of songs? Most noticble is 21 guns during the chorus and bridge Because it's Broadway so they like to add annoying cheesy key changes for no real reason, basically.
green day is Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Because it's Broadway so they like to add annoying cheesy key changes for no real reason, basically. The purpose of a key change is usually to better accommodate the singers voice(s) or to give the song a different feeling in general. How is that for no reason? What kind of snore-fest would it be if they just kept everything exactly the same? They'd just be covers.

But since you mention it, I find it a snore-fest anyway. Even with the key changes they're just bad, cheesetastic versions of songs I love.
SuperXCsabre495 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What is being said in the background of Kill The DJ after the solo?
Spike Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What is being said in the background of Kill The DJ after the solo? You mean behind "Someone kill the DJ, someone kill the DJ," right? In which case it's just "walking after dark."
Certified Nimrod Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Does anyone know how "Bab's Uvula Who?" got it's name?
Spike Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Does anyone know how "Bab's Uvula Who?" got it's name? It's taken from a 1976 SNL sketch called "Bab's Uvula", in which a uvula specialist (Chevy Chase) was playing the "Knock, knock, who's there" joke with his patient Babs (Gilda Radner): Knock, knock. Who's there? Bab's uvula. Bab's uvula who? Obviously that has less than nothing to do with the song. I guess it's not uncommon to give songs titles that have nothing to do with the lyric, though.

Penguin Puffball Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 The earliest origin of is Billie wearing it during at interview. As to who actually said it or came up with it, we have no idea. That's anti-climactic after Ceadagh's story.
Spike Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Speaking of Babs Uvula Who, have they ever played it live?
Bastard of 1969 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Because those albums were very successful, whilst the Trilogy is the definition of a flop. Besides, you don't need to release a live album for every tour you do. Speaking of tops and flops, then why didn't Dookie had one live album?
Spike Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Speaking of tops and flops, then why didn't Dookie had one live album? Pretty sure there's going to be one next year. It wasn't really the "in thing" at the time.
WhiteTim Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Speaking of tops and flops, then why didn't Dookie had one live album? Live albums weren't a big deal back in the early 90's escp for a band that only had one album out (and when I say one album out I mean by a major label)
Bastard of 1969 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Pretty sure there's going to be one next year. It wasn't really the "in thing" at the time. Huh, okay. So other albums weren't that popular, so there was no need to get a live album at the time, I guess...
Jean Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Speaking of tops and flops, then why didn't Dookie had one live album? There was a Live Tracks EP.
Spike Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Huh, okay. So other albums weren't that popular, so there was no need to get a live album at the time, I guess... From a business perspective, basically, yeah.
Bastard of 1969 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 There was a Live Tracks EP. Live Tracks is just one Extended Play. Bullet in a bible, awesome as fuck, on the radio... those are live albums. Oh, dumbledores, now i saw on the radio is just one live album.

Guest Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 The fact that Green Day have basically ignored half of Insomniac depresses me greatly.
Spike Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 The fact that Green Day have basically ignored half of Insomniac depresses me greatly. Yeah, me too. Hoping for a 20th anniversary tour, hopefully they'll have a new album they can fail to play on its own tour in favour of Insomniac.
Guest Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, me too. Hoping for a 20th anniversary tour, hopefully they'll have a new album they can fail to play on its own tour in favour of Insonmiac. I doubt they will. Insomniac never had the huge impact of Dookie, so we'll probably just get Brain Stew/Jaded back in the setlist for a few shows. If we're really fucking lucky, Geek Stink Breath or Walking Contradiction could get played.
