stories and songs Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know anything on the subject, but I didn't care for their voices together. They just didn't sound quite right to me. Though personally, I thought Billie sounded pretty great. But they really lacked a connection, too... he and Norah just seem to have very sweet chemistry. I would've loved to have seen Billie and Norah perform together instead, but still, it was a fine performance. I like seeing him nervous. It makes him, idk, like humble, he doesn't try to show off. It's like when he said in an itw in 2012 that he almost wanted to throw up when he sang brand new songs from the trilogy even in front of a handful of people.... I completely agree. I love his amazing showmanship during Green Day concerts, but when it comes to his off-stage persona (particularly in solo interviews), he comes across as being so sweet and more on the quiet side. And I like that guy a lot. It's nice to see that side of him onstage sometimes. I think it says a lot about him (in a good way) that he's this huge rock star, but can still be humble.
Oxymore Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I completely agree.

And I like that guy a lot. It's nice to see that side of him onstage sometimes. I think it says a lot about him (in a good way) that he's this huge rock star, but can still be humble. Exactly ! That's why I really enjoyed the Rolling Stone interview last year. I think it was the first time my view (vision ?) of him has completely changed. I mean I often viewed him as an asshole but not always. The pauses he marks, and the honesty which he speaks with... The other stars like Rihanna or Miley Cirus (sorry for the reference guys) (really) can't say so. And I know it's the same for Tré and Mike as well. Sometimes they can't be shameless wile masturbating on stage, and by the other hand really touching. (my god so much wordplays in this sentence I didn't do it on purpose) I love seeing the guys like that. = fangirling x10000000000
Johnny Higher Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 The first time I watched the performance I liked a lot. So I watched once, twice, etc but something went wrong The voices of BJ et Miranda don't macth everytime and something disturbed me in that song. So, I checked the finguers of BJ during that song to see the chords he played and I found out that is doesn't play the song right. Basically the song is B, E and F#. A basic progression. That turn around all the song exept for the part "When I meet a new girl..." But BJ don't played the song like that, he jump between B and E and don't play the F# chord exept one or two times.(He played with a capo but the chord are the same A = E, E = B, B = F#) I don't know what to think about it, because BJ is a great great great guitarist and it's a very very very easy song. And not play the song the way how it's supposed to play doesn't sound right, so I don't know if someone else figure it out. So I got this on my mind since Sunday, I just needed to write it down ^^ Sorry for the bad english, I'm french
Mykee Mexx Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Meanwhile I think, he was really nervous... maybe that´s why he didn´t play the guitar right. I didn´t notice that, don´t know anything about techniques, that´s probably why. But I realized the flashy micro for the first time. Didn´t even notice that until it was mentioned here.
Oxymore Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Flashy micro ? The glittered micro (Miranda's one). Visually, I find that Miranda catches more the eyes when you look like that quickly. Then, her voice overpowered BJ's voice - it was said many time in this thread) and the two just didn't match, you're right. After, for the way he played guitar, I don't know, I don't play any instrument ! But you could see he was stressed, that's why he didn't play as usually...
Mykee Mexx Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Flashy micro ? Yes, what Oxymore said. Shiny, glittery, flashy microphone. Looks really "Barbie-dollish"...
Johnny Higher Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I spoted that micro since the first picture of the rehearsales, because it catched my look. So I thought it was something else. But yeah, that micro is... special.
