Red Lights Flash Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 One song I really, really want to succeed with is Nightlife because I have had a lot of requests for that one and also because it's probably the greatest challenge of all, but twice have I started working on that song and given up ha ha. Just don't know how to battle that one when the rap kicks in. It just wasn't written for a male singer either. Any suggestions? I can't skip the rap either because that's basically 90% of the song lol. Why not turn Nightlife into an All By Myself kind of song... That's from Dookie as well! And I'm sure a lot of people here wouldn't mind to see this song ridiculed. Just take the lyrics of the rap, and use the All By Myself melody and guitar tune. It'll be a lot slower so you could just do one or two verses. Then do a real Dookified version with all instruments of the chorus/solo.
Dookiefied Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 While waiting for the next release I'd like to share my album with you guys (original music) recorded with my band Joint Aktion. Some of you might know the drummer Joak Bianco from the band Far As Hell. Feel free to download. If you don't like it then shut up about it because you'll brake my heart lol. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23411105/joint-aktion-dumbstruck-2012-192kpbs.rar

Dookiefied Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Downloading now. When I clean up the jizz I'll let you know how good it is Hahahaha...now I have heard everything
Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hahahaha...now I have heard everything 4 songs in...
Dookiefied Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Hahaha!! Seriously man, that means a lot to hear. I'm quite nervous about exposing my own material. This is what I need to hear to boost my confidence a bit
YoYoFantaFanta Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Thank you. I'm glad you like it! As is probably quite obvious I am a big fan of their 90's stuff, everything right up to Nimrod. But with the release of American Idiot it was the first time I felt either I had grown apart a bit from the band or they had grown apart from me. They took a direction I wasn't too happy about. Now don't get me wrong, Green Day is a band that cannot fail in my eyes and even their "worst" stuff is some of the best music in the world in my opinion, but that's just life. We all have different taste in what we prefer. I guess that's what makes this band so successfull because they always went their own way and if they only wanted to make us Dookie freaks happy they wouldn't be where they are today, so I guess we have to be thankful for the band...don't know if any of this makes sense but I'm just talking straight from my heart ha ha. My least favorite Green Day albums were Nimrod and Warning but those are both some of my favorite albums ever. American Idiot is actually my favorite album ever though ( Dookie comes second very narrowly) I agree with you about their worst being great music.You have a good point. Actually that's a REALLY good point. I can feel that way a bit with bands such as Bad Religion...I feel it's the same sound over and over and it tends to get a bit dull. The great thing with Green Day is their ability to develope their sound and move forward. It's really awesome that you see the point with these covers. It's a fun alternative, sort of a "what if" Thank you for listening Maybe you could Dookify other artists like Nirvana or SlipKnoT

This is what I need to hear to boost my confidence a bit You really shouldn't sell yourself short. It sounds great. Might be because I'm a sucker for pop-punk, but this album is fantastic.
YoYoFantaFanta Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 BTW, some things I noticed: In the verse progressions on The Forgotten and Amy, you got a chord wrong from the original but it still worked out Why was the dookiefied Kill the DJ in F# minor when the original is in A minor Lazy Bones would have worked better if you just dookiefied the guitar I'm not complaining, I'm just noting these things out
Dookiefied Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 You really shouldn't sell yourself short. It sounds great. Might be because I'm a sucker for pop-punk, but this album is fantastic. Thank you!! I'm really proud of this album. We have released three and this is the latest. The sound on this album is a bit darker than our previous release "Alienation" which was mainly about girls, alcohole and growing up lol. I've been doing this for so long, writing and recording songs, but it still matters what other people think. I would lie if I said it didn't. That's why I freak out with happiness anyone ever says something nice about the music I make because music matters so much to me. If I were a chick and you'd give me one nice comment you'd get laid right away lol.BTW, some things I noticed: In the verse progressions on The Forgotten and Amy, you got a chord wrong from the original but it still worked out Why was the dookiefied Kill the DJ in F# minor when the original is in A minor Lazy Bones would have worked better if you just dookiefied the guitar I'm not complaining, I'm just noting these things out I'm not really sure exactly which chords you are refering too, but it might be to fit them better as dookiefied versions because I have to play them with syncopation and so on. Thank's for pointing out tho. There is always room to improve and I am willing to listen!

Haha, I'm the same, I've yet to actually properly record anything, but I've been working on songs for the past while with my brother, and whenever someone says something good about how it sounds, it's just the best feeling ever After first listen, Leaving The Lights, Take The Streets, Hand In Hand, and I Surrender stand out. And yes I know I picked most of the sappy love songs

Mykee Mexx Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I´ll kill for "Dumbstruck"! This is my favourite song at the moment. I like the beat, reminds me of Platypus (which is one of my favourite GD-songs), ´cause it´s so up-tempo. Wow! Nathalie and Josephine are wonderful, and Cubital Fossa. I surrender is another favourite. Good job, Joint-Aktion!
