Billie Joe piano for The Forgotten

[kelly42fox]

in the booklet, it says that Billie played the piano

Cool. Thanks guys. That's what I assumed.

I feel as if Amanda was too over-hyped. I mean, Amanda was a girl that influenced the band and their music very much. Without her, then there would be no love songs from Billie (Good Riddance) or such a well built American Idiot storyline. I feel the song isnt good enough to be a song about the influencial piece of the band, and that the song should have been more epic for that matter only because it is a very important person to the bands music. Don't get me wrong, its a great song, but it could have been better.

For example, I know a band named Lydia (who Im seeing tonight), whose main writing is about a girl named Hailey who the lead singer was close friends with and did massive amounts of hardcore drugs with, and the song he wrote for her, named after her, is so great and I feel it captures how much of an importance she was on him and his music.

Here's the link to that song:

If that made any sense...? It makes sense in my head.

It does make sense to me. I also thought that. I mean, Whatsername is better than Amanda (for me at least). And I think such a 'reveal' should have a more epic song overall. I agree.

Did I miss something about the Hot Topic vinyl for Tre? I haven't seen it yet.

Good to know. I almost wondered if that release wouldn't stay the same. Thanks.

99 Revolutions is awesome as f*ck, isn't it?

[Annie, get your gun]

For me this record is all about Brutal Love right now. There's nothing like this song in the whole trilogy, it just blows my mind... and I'm afraid it's gonna melt for over-playing ♥♥♥

Excellent production

[AfterShock]

cover

I like it! Is there an effect on your voice though? If so I think it would sound a little better if that wasn't as heavy.

Lots of compression, subtle chorus, analog delay

Is 8th Ave Serenade in 4/4?

Yes. Count along in the verse.

[WhiteTim]

Thanks for adding the download links to them now

(Can ya up a mp3 of your Lazy Bones cover?)

[Femme Gauche]

Matt, I think you were made to do Green Day covers . It's a good cover. I do still like the original better, but... it is Green Day, so you shouldn't take that as a knock .

[The Grohl]

So I finally listened to Tre enough times to have an opinion. I really like. I still think Uno might be fave out of the three, but Tre is excellent. There are some awesome songs that of course are catchy as hell. I love Brutal Love even though it sounded like nothing that I expected it to. I really like that it's soulful, which is something we've haven't heard from them before. And I love Sex Drugs and Violence for the little bit that Mike sings. It was unexpected, but awesome.

I think Tre is is mix of some of the rockabilly sound we heard on Dos and more of what Green Day were doing before, so like the sound they had on 21CB. So I'm pretty happy with it and the trilogy in general. Good job guys

[AfterShock]

At the shows they eventually do....opener - Brutal Love into Nuclear Family??

[KickingKangaroos]

Anyone else loving Walk Away as much as I do?

Yes!!!!!!!

Agreed on most of what you say . Though I think I prefer Dos and Tre to Uno, but the preference... is not all that strong. They're all great. As for Tré specifically... every single fucking song on this thing is catchy as fuck. I mean, the songs on the other two are catchy for the most part, and good even when they aren't, but htis record... Damn.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I finally heard it, and it's probably tied with Dos for my favorite album of the trilogy

I dunno. It's one of many possibilities. I imagine Nuclear Family would be somewhere in the beginning, though.

Brutal love would be a terrible opener Imo. I'd prefer nuclear family

[Femme Gauche]

Brutal love would be a terrible opener Imo. I'd prefer nuclear family

I think it could be very good as an opener, like Song Of The Century. Yes I realize that that is not a full-length song and it was just a couple of chords repeated before it went into the actual song, but... I like that it would build and create a little tension/pressure that would subsequently explode with something like Nuclear Family. . I'm not saying it's the only way for a show to begin, but they've come to being quite theatric and it would certainly be one way.
