Fuzz Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Dry Ice! After 92 songs and 7 rounds, Dry Ice beat out Let Yourself Go in the final of our "Best Green Day Guitar Solo" tournament. http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/4442/ I'm a little surprised an older song ended up taking the entire tournament, considering how many said it wouldn't happen.
The Disappearing Boy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The right song won. No way that Let Yourself Go is their second best solo. It's decent, but no more than that. There are many more solos which deserve to be in the place of Let Yourself Go.
Certified Nimrod Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Wake Me Up When September Ends should have won. I DEMAND A RECOUNT.
The Disappearing Boy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 It'd be kinda interesting to know the results of each round. I.e. how many votes and what percentage each song got in each match-up.
armatage Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Fuck yea. A decent occasion to celebrate by drinking.
A song for the lovers Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 the ending of restless heart syndrome always be my fav, it blew my mind when I first heard it
WorryRock02 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 ok ok ok i love let yourself go but....... dry ice won! YES!
Hermione Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Excellent . The epic guitar solos on Green Day's earliest stuff are really one of the main things that make it special and different to their later albums, really glad to see that recognized by one of the best solos from that era winning. I love the solos on Uno Dos and Tre too and would've still been happy if a song off there had won (although Let Yourself Go wouldn't have been my first choice from there by a long way). But the solos on there aren't such a massive key aspect and highlight of the songs as on their earliest work so I'm pleased it went this way.
Fuzz Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 how many votes were counted total? In the whole tournament or the final? The final had just over 3,000.
Clean Cut Asshole Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Totally, "Dry Ice" is GD's best solo EVER! Their solos were better in the early days.
Cob Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Great choice. Those 1000 Hours solos have a great sense of intensity and melody. They also shred your face off; over all Green Day fans made a good choice.
Sarcasm Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 In the whole tournament or the final? The final had just over 3,000.I was thinking for the whole tournament. It's calculator time.
✘StayRock✘ Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 mm I prefer DRB or Hitchin' a ride but Dry Ice has a Fucking great solo
Bastard of 1969 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 the ending of restless heart syndrome always be my fav, it blew my mind when I first heard it You mean, that outstanding wah-wah sound and solo?
Clockwise Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I prefer the Let Yourself Go solo to the Dry Ice solo, I'm kinda bummed a trilogy song didn't win, because I think it has their best solos. Dry Ice is awesome though.
