Warning was quite underrated and often overlooked. A lot of people seem to hate American Idiot but it's fine. But that's neither here nor there.Well, Well, Well wrote:i hear they're starting to play music that sounds like insomnia. i'm skeptical but another insomnia would be amazing. their last great album.

Re: Al as accordionist
I agree. Insomniac was was a great album. I saw the repress in vinyl the other day and really wanted to buy it. "Geek Stink Breath" and "Brain Stew/Jaded" were great singles. I hope they are playing some Insomniac-esque music.Well, Well, Well wrote:i hear they're starting to play music that sounds like insomnia. i'm skeptical but another insomnia would be amazing. their last great album.

Re: Al as accordionist
Believe it or not, I was listening to that last night. I was checking out the site, and seen that the album's almost ready? That's the one I wanna buy.weirdojace wrote:http://www.nuclearbubblewrap.com/downlo ... Chords.mp3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;HappyGilmore wrote: I like Green Day.

I'm not saying they're the best or most creative band. I just like them. Not like I like Justin Bieber or something.

I've always thought this too, though I think they are getting better at both making it their own but also capturing the band's essence live.oddaustin wrote:Though that song kind of disappoints me in general, it doesn't seam like it would be all that difficult, but he somehow didn't really capture Green Day's sound.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

All the money went towards making the OTHER nine videos for Straight Outta Lynwood songs.

Re: Al as accordionist
That's how I've felt with a lot of the more "rock" songs that have been in his discography lately... the guitars on "Pretty Fly For A Rabbi" aren't nearly as beefy or full as the Offspring equivalent, and the guitars in the "I'll Sue You" chorus sound like they get turned down for fear or being too loud. I don't know if he just has no experience in trying to encapsulate a "punk rock" guitar tone, but he's been missing the mark as of late.weirdojace wrote:Yeah, this was brought up when the album came out. I don't know what happened, but those guitars are nowhere near the right kind of distortion (especially the beginning, it's supposed to sound really compressed). And the equalizing on the drums is way far off. Al is a master of capturing the original sound, but wow, he totally missed the mark on that.oddaustin wrote:he somehow didn't really capture Green Day's sound.
