alba88george Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Hi guys, Ive been scouring the internet looking for a solo acoustic version of a few of green day's songs for my wedding day. Does anyone know if any of these have ever been recorded in said format, and if so, where I can get my hands on them. When it's Time Church on Sunday Last Night on Earth 21 Guns
Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 None of those have official acoustic versions, but people often release mixes on Youtube and Soundcloud using their own recorded music and Billie's vocals. It'd definitely be worth scouring music hosting sites for the song you need.
solongfromthestars Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 The only other thing you could do would be to use live versions, though as far as I know that'd only be an option for When It's Time and LNOE. There's a professionally recorded acoustic of When It's Time from Manchester LCCC that would just need some talking cut off the beginning (I haven't tried this link but I assume it's included here - otherwise have a look on Youtube). There's also the American Idiot musical version of When It's Time, but that might not work as a wedding song. I'm not sure if Billie ever played LNOE entirely acoustic live, the band usually came in later in the song, but there's a professional recording of it that's partially acoustic and you could rip it from this video.
Crimpshrine Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Fifteen's song Liberation and Sweet Valentine is a nice fit.
Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 When It's Time was played live as a solo acoustic piece, so if you scour Youtube, I'd bet you could find a relatively clean one without a ton of crowd noise, but there will be some for obvious reasons. Church on Sunday would be, I'd imagine, just short of impossible to find--never played as a solo acoustic live as far as I know, and it hasn't been released in multitrack format for Rock Band (again, afaik). Matt, who's on the forum here as Matt., did a nice, clean acoustic remix of Last Night on Earth using the 21CB multitracks that strips it down as close to solo acoustic as that song will ever get. I haven't heard a Green Day acoustic version of 21 Guns, and if my memory is correct, the acoustic guitar was blended with the electric guitar in the Rock Band multitrack. Ceadog's suggestion of hunting for someone who's laid down their own guitar underneath Billie Joe's vocals might be your best bet.
Sanity Loan Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I made an acoustic mix of "Last Night on Earth" from the track's stems and it's pretty awesome, to be honest. Don't know if it's possible to share? I was actually going to use it at my wedding When It's Time was played live as a solo acoustic piece, so if you scour Youtube, I'd bet you could find a relatively clean one without a ton of crowd noise, but there will be some for obvious reasons.

Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Just realized you just said this I will never forgive you.
Travis. Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 The only official acoustic instrumental I think you could get is Last Night on Earth. I'm sure someone has done 21 Guns, though Edit: Yeah, there is a good amount out there https://soundcloud.com/losshack/green-day-21-guns-audacity https://soundcloud.com/search?q=21%20Guns%20acoustic%20instrumental
Alan86 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Isn't there a good live acoustic version of "when it's time" that a radio station in Manchester played after their gig at old Trafford cricket ground in 2010? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y5XZUutlNk&sns=em Edit: This video has the audio that was released by that radio station. It's realy good quality and audio mp3 is actually in the download links on this forum here, source 1http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/92307-20100616-lancashire-county-cricket-ground-manchester-england/

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Thank god that I'll be the bride when I get married so I will be able to choose to have GD played at my wedding. No exceptions
Jimmy Strummer Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Just found this for ya. I dunno if this is Matt's version of it that Pikachu was talking about, but I think it's definitely pretty damn close to what you want, albeit with the band joining in later. EDIT: NOPE!!! That was a Rock Band instrumental, and I almost forgot they were against the guidelines!!! Sorry about that! PM me for the link, alba.
