Little things you'd change in Green Day songs

[She is Amanda]

I agree the trilogy was over-produced and that is practically all I would change to Green Day songs. I also think that a lot of the songs on UNO had unnecessary "solos" and a lot of the songs would've been better without them just because it was really redundant when every song followed the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-solo-chorus pattern, but that might just be my own opinion.

[The Disappearing Boy]

the backing vocals in the chorus of lazy bones are annoying.

Putting Foxies style sax on most of Dos would make it a lot more bearable.

[xXRustyJamesXx]

The guitars should be way louder on the trilogy...

It should be like on Dookie or Insomniac

[Of Rage and Love]

If the 21CB version of Know Your Enemy was more like Tom Kitt's arrangement, its less repetitive and shorter and probably wouldn't be as hated by Green Day fans.

If Last of the American Girls was mixed with heavier/louder guitar during the verses.

If the studio version of Nightlife was more like the "funky" version that they were practicing in Quatro.

If in the studio version during the solo of 21 Guns, Billie would sing along to the melody like he does live.

If the saxophone solo in AAF was in the actual studio version. Jason Freeze is a badass.

I wouldn't touch American Idiot, it is a flawless album.

[Asa.]

Change that awful bridge section in Amy. It doesn't sound right to me.

At the end of X Kid, the last line, when Billie sings "over and over and out" and thing he should take the pitch up on "out". It just seems like it would sound better that way.

I think 99 revolutions would of sounded cooler if it started just like how it did the the TRE! Album cover video green day put up on YouTube

This. I also think the repetitive chorus would be HUGELY improved if the 3rd '99 revolutions tonight' was a different lyric - something like

'99 revolutions tonight

99 revolutions tonight

________ start a fire

99 revolutions tonight'

No I can't think of anything good enough to fit the blank

TAKE IT BACK.

If the 21CB version of Know Your Enemy was more like Tom Kitt's arrangement, its less repetitive and shorter and probably wouldn't be as hated by Green Day fans.

If in the studio version during the solo of 21 Guns, Billie would sing along to the melody like he does live.

Sadly, this would improve this album drastically for me (I'm not a huge fan).

[The Disappearing Boy]

TAKE IT BACK.

They're just too loud. It's a shame, as Lazy Bones is one of the best songs Green Day has ever written, although it doesn't spoil the song for me.

[mrduckygoosy]

I'd change all the backing vocals from the trilogy... They sound fake and are annoying, they should sound more like the ones on Nimrod or Warning, wich were perfect in my opinion, and Mike should sing all of them.

And on the second verse of Welcome To Paradise I used to think it would be great if Billie Joe could sing the "And I'm never gonna go-ooo" like he did on the version from the dvd of awesome as fuck

[Jon Benjamin]

I think Jesus of Suburbia during "they don't believe in me" should have the harmonies from the musical soundtrack, I love that.

[iScottie]

Make Welcome To Paradise never exist.

[WhiteTim]

I agree the trilogy was over-produced

It wasnt over produced

Its the least produced albums since Kerplunk...

[Of Rage and Love]

Make Welcome To Paradise never exist.

How dare you.

[Iva]

Loudness? Lmao you have no clue what loudness is please don't talk what you have no clue on...

Can you please stop LOL-ing and LMAO-ing at every random person you disagree with?

[It's Splash Time]

I'd get rid of the fade out in the last 10 seconds of Dirty Rotten Basrards.

I simply dont read posts by certain people on other boards it's really not that hard to do...

[Clockwise]

I agree with Tim, I don't think the trilogy is over produced at all. I think some songs could do with turning up the guitars just a little bit, and some songs could lose the filter on Billie's voice. I've gotten used to how it sounds, and for the most part, I think everything sounds super clear and fantastic. Those are just little tiny things I would change.

Also, the drums don't sound canned at all to me, they sound vibrant and extremely clear, much better than 21CB (which I think is compressed to hell at certain points).

[WhiteTim]

Smash Mouth covered this damn

Dos is easily one of the most overproduced Green Day albums. I mean that was the point but I just didn't like it.

Define overproduced? Because I really disagree. I think both AI and 21st Century Breakdown (especially the latter) are what I would define as "overproduced"
